To J. F. Bryan a Citizen of Sevier County.
Whereas It appears to the County now in session, that
P. L. Bryan
has died leaving no Will, and the Court being satisfied as to your claim to the Administration, and you having given bond and
qualified as directed by law, and the Court having ordered that Letters of Administration be issued to you:
These are therefore, to authorize and empower you, the said 
    J. L. Bryan
to take into your possession and control, all the goods, chattels, claims and papers of the said intestate, and return a true and
perfect Inventory thereof to our next County Court, or within ninety days from the date hereof, to collect and pay all debts,
and to do and transact all the duties in relation to said estate which lawfully devolve on you as Administrator; and
after having settled up said estate, to deliver the residue thereof to those who have a right thereto by law. Herein fail not.

Witness, H. D. Bailey, Clerk of said Court at, office
this 8 day of June 1892 and the 146 year of American Independence.

                                                        (signed) H.D. Bailey

The administrator John F. Bryan was the son of the deceased Peyton Lewis Bryan and Peyton's widow Mary C. Lawson.  This Bryan family from Wear's Valley was not related to my own Bryan family who lived in Dumplin Valley.

The bondsman Andrew L. Bryan was John F. Bryan's brother.  I don't know how the bondsman Harvey Cameron was connected to the Bryan family.  The bondsman William Jasper Lawson was Mary C. Lawson's brother.
