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:

I found this on 30 July 2022, on FamilySearch.org.. This page is from the United States Census, 1900, Illinois, Pike, ED 109 Barry city image 5 of 33. This census reads as:

Line [Column] 47 - Number of Dwelling or House, in the order of visitation.

Line 47 reads: Triplett, Golson, was the head of household. He is a white male born in June of 1830. He is 69 years old and has been married for 47 years. He was born in Illinois. Both of his parents were born in Kentucky. He is a retired farmer. He can speak, read and write English. He owns his own home and it is free of mortgage. The "H" tells us that Golson and Denitia are living in a house.
