Transcription of above document:
State of South Carolina}
Chesterfield District} Personally appeared John L. P. Boan before me and duly made oath that he made a action to the Ordinary of the Chesterfield District in the year 1863 of the account of sales of the goods and chattels of Charles J. Boan deceased, as also the appraisement of said estate, all of which he has been informed were destroyed or lost by the destruction by fire of the Court House by the Northern Army – and that to the best of his recollection and belief the sale of said Estate amounted to about Three hundred and seventeen dollars and 89 cents.- and that when he as administrator of said Estate paid over to Martha Boan for herself and as Guardian of Kendrick Boan that the sums paid [illegible word] all that was then due to them as heirs of said Charles J. Boan—and that the within account exhibits a full true & perfect statement of all the monies received and paid out by him as administrator of said estate. John L. P. Boan

Charles J. Boan was born about 1838, a son of John Lewis Percy Boan and his wife Abigail Therrell.
Charles was married to Martha whose last name I haven’t found in any documents up until this time. They had one known child, a son, Kendrick born about 1851. This is based on information reported in the 1870 Census but the dates just doesn’t tract; Kendrick birth in 1851 would make his Father Charles to be age 13 at the time of his birth.3
Charles J, age 11, can be found in 1850 Census with his parents. No record of Charles can be found after this Census. He is believed to have died sometime before the 13 April 1863 date on Image 4 above.4
