Cousins, I was looking through Administrators Bonds & Letters yesterday, I hope someone can explain the following.

We, Jesse L. Rogers are bound to the State of Tennessee, in the penalty of one hundred thousand ($100,000.00) dollars.
Witness our hands and seals, this 11 day of January A.D. 1897.
The condition of this obligation is such, That whereas the above bound Jesse L. Rogers has been appointed Administrator of the Estate of C.H.Rogers, deceased.
It goes on to say Jesse lives in Knox Co. C.H. Rogers died without a will.
What I don't understand is why he has to pay the state all that money. Carol in MI
