Paul,

Sorry, I was trying to be brief (a rarity for me), but should have known this wasn't the time.  Here's what I have in my files.  (Yes, I'm awarethat Chalkley is not the best of sources, made some mistakes in transcribing and transcribed pages at random, but as a clue, he can be helpful.)

  Chalkley's Scotch-Irish Chronicles pg. 92; Citation: Augusta Co. VA Will Book 3, pp. 397 - 513 Page 435.--21st October, 1765.                                                                             "Sale bill recorded of William Culberts,by Wm. Gilmore, administrator, to, viz: Mary Brown, Margaret McCown,Patrick Denny, Andw. Fitzpatrick, Mary Boyls, Mary Ann Crawford, Jas.Logan, Wm. McCanless, David Guin, Jane Scot, Wm. Ooley, Jno.

like to know all words of that entry. I surely think that you also should
examine the courts' orders'/entries prior to this date, since the entry to
which you have referred is but a conclusion of other activities in that
intestate estate. It may be that further record of that proceeding has long
ago been destroyed. If so, then you can but infer such prior activity.

By the way, how do you know that "... the county government allowed Gilmore
to be the administrator of Culbertson's estate in order to be reimbursed for
the debt." ????
