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]

1. Michael Rhyne who is mentioned in his father's will as getting $1 and nothing more. Hard to determine which of the many Michael Rhynes there are, but there is a Michael Rhyne who was involved with some counterfeiters in 1823 and one whose wife Catherine petitioned for divorce and alimony in 1828 (articles in the The North-Carolina Star, Raleigh, North Carolina.) Those things might have irritated his father. Hard to say.
2. Simon Rhyne who is mentioned as his 'beloved son' in his father's will. "Our Kin" (p.173) says he married married (Mary?) Polly Houser (North Carolina Marriage Bonds, 1741-1868, #, 18 Oct 1848, Bond # 000075267), but before that he was married to Sarah Lay ("Annals of Lincoln County, North Carolina,"p.108.) (both in "Marriage bonds of Tryone and Lincoln Counties North Carolina, p.105)
3. Elizabeth Rhyne who is mentioned in her father;s will. She married John Joseph (Laughing John) Hoffman in 1796.("Our Kin," pp.17-18 & 173). I would like to be able to connect Elizabeth to Peter Rhyne and Anne Magdalene (Wills) Rhyne.
Mary Magdelene Rhodes;s husband Christian Rhodes assessed the property of Peter Rhyne prior to sale after his death. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:2:77T6-7V6G?cc=1911121&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AVH6X-Y7R
