GENERAL SUMMARY:
Court records document the legal aspects of John McGehee's estate from 1875 to 1886. An estate Administrator was identified in court on January 20, 1875. This suggests that John McGehee died before this date. During the court proceedings, there are two separate Administrators: Ann McGehee (1875 to 1877) and William Joshua McGehee (1878 to 1886).
COURT SUMMARIES:
January 20, 1875
Ann McGehee (probably John McGehee sister) is identified as the Admistratix (aka Administrator). She approved a claim against the estate. The court agreed and ordered that $41 be paid to A. Davis Fourth Class. Note that Fourth Class Claims are for money due employees of the decedent of not more than $800.00 for each claimant for services rendered within 4 months prior to the decedent's death and expenses attending the decedent's last illness.
February 17, 1875
Ann McGehee presents a Bond to the court which is called "imperfect". She is cited and ordered to appear before the court with a new Bond or present reasons why she can't.
May 19, 1876
Court claims that no account has been filed, as per required by the law, 12 months since the Letters of Administration were supplied. Ann (and possibly Thomas) is cited and ordered to appear before the next term of the court and present the account for settlement.
July 12, 1876
The court claims that for the last 12 months there no account on file. The court issues Ann McGehee a citation and orders compliance. The wording of "Guardian" is crossed out and replaced with "Administration". This definitively suggests that John McGehee is deceased.
November 9, 1876
Ann McGehee filed her account for final settlement. The court ordered that this settlement be inspected by all interested parties. The case is continued until the next court term.
January 11, 1877

No issues are found with the final settlement and the court orders that Ann McGehee be charged with $27.90 and the Bond cancelled. The court further ordered that Ann McGehee and her securities be released from any further liabilities regarding the Bond.
