This appears to be two sets of  Admministrator’s Applications filed for the same estate.  Note that the later application, filed by Duncan Monroe, lists the previous administrator, Daniel Monroe, as an heir.

Mary Priest Monroe (She is the wife of Neill Monroe , below)
Gilbert Monroe, Administrator
Earliest Record: Dec. 14, 1880
Heirs: Gilbert Monroe; Elisha Monroe; Mary Monroe Priest; Catherine Monroe; Malcolm Munroe; Lovdy Ann Monroe McCrimmon. There are others, see Genealogies  for more on this family.

Interestingly, the only record in this file is a notice from Elisha Monroe to his brothers and sisters that he will apply to the court to be named administrator on Jan. 4, 1881.  Written on the back of the notice, in a different handwriting, is a note that Gilbert Monroe applied for a Letter of Administration for the estate on December 14, 1880.

Note:  The estates of Malcolm, Charles, Flora, Margaret, and Celia Munroe all seem to be inter-related and give us the following family:

Malcolm Munroe; d. bef. 1871 (probably well before)
    A.    Charles M. Munroe, b. ca. 1812;  d. June 8, 1866, bur. Monroe Cemetery, Little River Twsp., Hoke Co. (now Ft. Bragg), NC.  See Ft. Bragg Cemetery Records   
            +   Saphrone     ?  
            1.   Ann P. Munroe
                    +     John Black
    B.   (Cotton? maybe Catherine?) F. Munroe
            +     Marble Taylor
    C.    Celia Munroe
            +     A.H. Saunders
    D.    Flora Munroe; d. bef. June 6, 1859
    E.    Mary C. Munroe
           +     Charles Moody
    F     Margaret Munroe; d. bef. March 6, 1859
    G.    Sarah Ann Monroe; b. Nov. 17, 1826; d. May 1, 1892, bur. Monroe Cemetery, Little River Twsp., Hoke Co. (now Ft. Bragg), NC (Source: cemetery record)
            +    Israel D. Gaddy

In addition, Celia Munroe; d. bef. Sept. 9, 1859, is also likely related to this family. This is not the Celia noted above, the wife of A.H. Saunders.   Could this Celia be Malcolm's wife and the mother of this family?
