I submit as conclusions of law, deduced from the foregoing finding of facts.
1st.That the brothers and sisters of the (?), the intestate, of the half blood and whole blood, inherit equal shares of the land or fund derived from the sale (Bat Rev Ch 36 Rules 3, Bell vs Dozeen 1 Dev 333).
2nd. That the lineal descendants of the deceased brothers and sisters of the intestate, whether of the whole or half blood, represent such deceased brother or sister and take, per stipes, the share of the land or fund arising from the sale, as their ancestor such deceased brother or sister of the intestate would have inherited, had he or she survived the intestate. (Bob Rev., Rules 1,2, and 5. Cromastie vs Kemp 66 NC R. 382).
3rd. That the full sister Rebecca Sherrill, the sisters of the half blood Julia Ann Baker and America Hunter and the brother of the half blood Alphens McGimpsey are entitled each to one ninth of the residue of the fund arising from the sale of intestates said lands after deducting the costs of this proceeding and such sum as may be necessary to make assets for the payment of debts of the intestate and costs and charges of administration.
4th That the three children of Harriet Conley deceased, viz J.N. Conley, Nancy A. Bowman and Alley E. Smith and her two grandchildren M.M. Conley and Alma Martin are entitled to one fifth of one ninthor one forty fifth portion the residue of the fund arising from the sale of intestates land….
5th That the said children of Elizabeth Brown deceased, to wit A.M. Brown, Sarah A. Halen, Rebecca Crown, Cynthia Peoples, Joseph A. Brown and Julia Longmire are entitled each to one eighth of one ninth or one 72nd part of said fund, after making said deductions, and that the four children of her son Coldwell Brown are entitled also in the aggregate to the same sum, apportioned to the said children of Elizabeth Brown on each to one fourth of one 72nd of the whole fund after deducting as aforesaid and that the children of Elizabeth Pritchard are entitled in the aggregate to the sum share allotted to each of the living children of Elizabeth Brown and each to an amount to be ascertained by dividing the amount of such share by the number of children left by said Elizabeth Pritchard when the number and names shall have been ascertained.
6th That the children of William Wakefield deceased, viz Eliza Gragg, Mary Brown, Harriet Alexander, Alley English, William Wakefield, Nancy Beck, Alexander Wakefield, and Elizabeth Chandler are entitled each to one eight of one ninth or one 72nd part of the residue of said fund, after making the deductions aforesaid.
7th That the children of Lena Baker, deceased, viz John M. Baker, Julius L. Baker, Mary D. Baker, Martha E. Baker, Alley E. Baker, Laura A. Baker, and Harriett E. Holyfield are entitled each to one seventh of one ninth or one 63rd portion of the residue…
8th That the children of J. Alphonso McGimpsey, viz Theodore McGimpsey, Charles McGimpsey, William McGimpsey, Rachel Flemming, Alley Davis, Elizabeth Kincaid, Loretta McGimpsey, Tod R. McGimpsey, Susan McGimpsey and Joanna Harbeson are entitled each to one tenth of one ninth or one 90th portion of the residue…
I further submit, that the administration reports, that he has in his hands still uncollected
A note on B.S. Gaither, balance due $142.98
A note on Julius McGimpsey for $100
With interest from Dec 18th 1875$119.Total$251.98
But the said C.B. Parks, administrator, while he thinks the claims good and whereof, is not willing, that the above amount should be reported and treated as cash in his hands.
I further report, that the indebtedness for which the personal fund is primarily liable consists of costs and charges of administration still unsettled amounting to about $325
And balance due on judgement in favor of C.C. McGimpsey against C.B. Parks administrator.$260Total about $585.00
It will appear from the foregoing statement, that it is impossible to report, while the accounts of the administrator are not fully settled or all of the personal estate reduced to money. To report accurately what amount of the fund arising from the sale of land in this proceeding will be required by the administrator to make assets; but I would respectfully recommend, that an order be made by the court providing
1st That the administrator shall pay and discharge the balance due on said judgment in favor of O.C. McGimpsey and the costs of this proceeding out the fund arising from the sale of the land, decreed in this proceeding, as it appears that the costs and charges of administration will consume more than the personal fund in the hands of the administrator in any event
2nd That the administrator retain for the present the sum of $325 and that the residue of the said fund, after deducting said sum, the costs of this proceeding and the balance due on said judgment in favor of O.C. McGimpsey, be divided among the heirs at law of the intestate according to their interests as herein before set forth.
I would further respectfully recommend, that any portion of such sum of $325 not needed to settle costs and charges of administration on account of collections, hereafter made by the administrator, be divided among said heirs at law in the same proportion by a subsequent order to be made after the final settlement of said administration.
Respectfully submitted.A.C. AveryReferee
