Triplett Family - Golson Triplett - Estate Papers

I do not remember if I found these estate papers online or during one of our family history Tours in either 2013 of 2015. This first page is titled LETTERS OF ADMINISTRATION. Basically the cover sheet for the rest of the papers. If I found them one one of our travels, it would have been in the record room in Pittsfield, Pike County "Record Room", across the square from the Court House. We ate at a funky little restaurant for lunch.

This record cover reads as:
