Speaking for myself only, before being comfortable in responding I would
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."  ????

Augusta Co. 1765 Sale Bill

In August Co. VA court records of 21st October, 1765. is this item:
  "Sale bill recorded of William Culberts, by Wm. Gilmore, administrator,
to, viz:. . . "(followed by a list of 28  names.)

  Bit of background:  William Culbert was killed in the Kerr's Creek  Indian
attack of 1763  At the time of his death, he owed money to William Gilmore,
and the county government allowed Gilmore to be the administrator of
Culbertson's estate in order to be reimbursed for the debt.

  Qs:  Is this "sale bill" what it appears to be, the report of a sale and
those who made purchases?  Does it mean the people who were named were
present at the sale?  Or does  "sale bill" refer to a legal term, as in
"Bill of sale?"

  Thank you,

  Joanne
