This information can be found in the book: "James McCoun & Margaret Walker & Their Descendants." written by Maurie McCoun Klimcheck.
From the book,
Quote; "William McGee died childless and Intestate in Clark County, Kentucky and soon afterward, James Young, the defendant, applied to Clark County for letters of administration upon the estate of William McGee, deceased. They (the McGee heirs) charge that James Young never fulfilled his duties as Administrator, nor has he turned over to the Court any of the assets or inventory of the Estate, nor has he made any account of his administration. They (the McGee heirs) believe that James Young collected large debts and among them was a debt of about $1,000.00 from the Estate of one Larkin Fisher. They (the McGee heirs) alleged that James Young used and occupied, for several years, about 100 acres of valuable land in Bourbon County Kentucky, belonging to the Estate and Heirs of William McGee."
