The following is Probate record 73, circa 1820, Madison Co., Georgia

Regarding Joshua Johnson and his many creditors.

The record is in the handwriting of the court clerk, and some names 
are really difficult to decipher.  I have put _______ (my best guess 
to what it says?) in the places where handwriting was undecipherable.
