Abner King

Richard Dodd

It may be observed in the foregoing settlement that the date and amount of voucher 13 and 14 differs a little as to amount and considerably as to date in our settlement it may be proper to observe that W. Goodwin had not obtained that voucher but stated the amount as entered and as it would make a charge in the statement from that voucher down through the whole of the work for 10-1/2 cents we thought it as well to state it in this way.

Abner King

Richard Dodd

At a county court held for Nelson County on the 20th day of April 1818. The above account of the administrator of the state of James Ginn was returned and being examined and allowed by the court was ordered to be recorded
