Ross, Sarah F. Adamson, and Mollie M. Jones, all living in Linn Co. (This would seem to indicate that five of the children of Claborn had died before he did.) Securites were provided by Pon Adamson (husband of Sarah), John Ross (husband of Jane), and A. L. Brown (Alonzo, son of Henry T. Brown, Jr. and nephew of Thomas & Thurza (Jones) Brown)

128 acres, the East side of the SW 1/4, Section 20, Township 59, Range 20
80 acres, the West 1/2 of th SE 1/4, Section 20, Township 59, Range 20

A number of bills were presented to the estate for small amounts.
Appraisers, F. W. Powers and Geo. W. Stephens viewed the 80 acre tract, and deemed it was worth $16 per acre, $1408. It was sold to Alonzo L. Brown for $808 - he assumed the mortgage of $600 and paid it off in cash with another $8, and then executed note to the C. W. Trumbo for the remaining $200.
