1) Catharina Straubin, widow of Daniel Straub, appointed her brother, Johannes Sitler, and brother-in-law, Johannes Straub to be the administrators of the estate, 12 June 1807. This document was written in German and Catharina made a mark instead of a signature.  It translates, 

"I Catharina Straubin widow of deceased Daniel Straub commission my brother, Johannes Sitler and my brother-in-law, Johannes Straub, to execute the administration for me."

2) John Seidler and John Straub agree to be the administrators of the estate of Daniel Straub, 15 June 1807.  They sign the document, Johannes Sittler and Johannes Straub.
