This site contains scanned images of the documents which set up a Power of Attorney for payments to Elizabeth Hooper for James Hooper's accrued pension. Blank parts of each page have been cropped to minimize file size. The pages were scanned at 300 dpi resolution to give the greatest detail for printouts. Two seals were affixed to the middle page, obstructing a few letters.

Note: The clerk who certified the above documents was Elzy Baker Reynolds, who had been born 4 April 1792 in Wilkes County, North Carolina, to Francis and Anne (Blackburn) Reynolds. Elzy B. Reynolds himself was a veteran who had served in War of 1812 from Buncombe County, North Carolina. In addition to clerking for the Inferior Court, Reynolds was the second postmaster for Marthasville (now Atlanta). He died 2 August 1863 and was buried in the Decatur (Georgia) City Cemetery.
