   1. Leroy Evans (He is listed as a resident of Illinois and an alien enemy, and therefore not entitled to a share of the estate. His share was to be divided among the other heirs.)

• The estate was sold at auction and the proceeds ($12,104.57 after admin fees) were distributed to all of the heirs with the exception of the Leroy Evans’ share and a portion of Micajah Reynolds’ share. The undistributed funds ($2713) were deposited in the Citizens Saving Bank in Lynchburg. When the court reconvened following the Civil War, it was found that the funds were deposited as Confederate currency and that the assets of bank were now worthless. The case was then dismissed.
