(Page 46)

In these accounts the administrators of insolvent estates listed the assets and the debts of the estates and at what pro-rated percentage the debts were paid from whatever assets were available. They are seldom of strictly genealogical interest but do provide insights into the lives of individuals as well as suggest the approximate years some of them died. THE ABSTRACTS FURNISHED HERE LIST THE INSOLVENT DECEDENT, HIS OR HER ADMINISTRATOR AND THE DATE OF THE SETTLEMENT REPORT MADE TO THE COUNTY COURT CLERK.
