Page 96 July Term 1893 Petition of CJ Wellborn, Executor of the LW of RH Erwin, decd., shows that he has in the discharge of his duties reached a point where there might well be a final settlement of the affairs of said estate which petitioner regards as collectible have been collected and the residue will either have to be divided in kind or disposed of as insolvent. Some mineral interests remain unsolved but as the legatees of said will are all of full age, they will likely be willing to take title to said interest without having the same disposed of at public sale. While much of the estate has been distributed, a considerable sum remains in the hands of petitioner which he cannot safely distribute without the direction of the court. An indebtedness of the husband of Mrs. CM Smith to her father’s estate, aggregating the sum of $1281 remains unpaid, which the other heirs insist must be paid out of her share of the estate under the terms of the will and she refuses to receipt for same indebtedness. This controversy which has existed for some years and now exists, is the only obstacle to the distribution of the remaining funds, and as the parties have so far failed to agree, petitioner prays that all of said heirs to wit: CM Smith, MAE Smith, HA Erwin, JC Erwin, WW Erwin and JS Erwin be cited to appear before the Court of Ordinary on the first Monday in July next, for final settlement and your petitioner will ever pray &c. WE Candler, Atty. for Petitioner Ordered by the court of Ordinary that the same be continued open until July 4, 1893. This July 3, 1893 - JW Meeks, Ordinary Page 97

July 3, 1893 - JW Meeks, Ordinary Page 98 The legatees under the will of RH Erwin, deceased, make the following agreement re the disposition of the mineral and land interests belonging to the estate of said decd., remaining in the hands of the Executor, CJ Wellborn, to wit: Said Executor shall turn over to WW Erwin the title deeds of said estate to said lands and mineral interest and said WW Erwin as agent and attorney in fact for said legatees, shall proceed to convert said lands and mining interests into cash on the best terms and in the best interest and in the shortest time possible, looking to the best interest of all the parties interested. We further agree that said Executor turn over to said WW Erwin all the evidence of debt and choses in action belonging to said estate which remain in his hands and that said WW Erwin is hereby empowered to collect the same or such parts thereof as he may be able and otherwise fully to manage same as may seem best to himself. Keeping in view the best interest of all the said legatees, the said WW Erwin after reserving to himself reasonable compensation for the time and trouble expended in the execution of this trust, shall divide the net proceeds of all the property herein intrusted to him equally among the legatees to said will who are now in life. In witness whereof we have hereunto set our hands and affixed our seals, This 4th day of July 1893. JC Erwin, HA Erwin, MAE Smith, JS Erwin, CM Smith I hereby accept the foregoing trust and agree to execute the same to the best
of my ability. WW Erwin

Petitioner further shows that one John W. Hughes of said county was appointed Admr. of the estate in the year 1890 and that he has had ample time to wind up and finish the business of the estate and to pay over to the heirs their pro rata part of said estate, but actually by mercenary motives, he the said Hughes has failed and still fails and refuses to discharge the duties incumbent on him; and your petitioner further charges the said Hughes with willful fraud and mismanagement by allowing the effects of the estate to go to waste and appropriating the effects of the estate to the extinguishment of his own individual debts use and benefits contrary to law and greatly to the damage of the heirs at law of the said estate.
