Lincoln County probate records of Peter's estate are extant.^[10] There also are Gaston County estate records. Following the deaths of executors Daniel Rhyne and Christian Rhodes, Caleb Rhodes and Henry Setzer were appointed administrators of Peter Rhyne’s estate. The estate remained open until widow Anna Magdalene Rhyne died. Rhodes and Setzer made their final report of their administration on 9 May 1856 in Gaston County. The papers are filed as “Peter Rhyne (1856).” Most of the extensive file pertains to a suit by daughter Barbara Froneberger’s administrators who argued that the distribution of her share of her father’s estate was incorrect and inadequate. There also are extensive papers regarding the estate of Paul Froneberger.^[11]
