Because this is a continuation of the inventory at the top of the page we find two paragraphs attesting that the appraisers had been duly sworn:
I do hereby certify that the above appraisers were
sworn to perform their duty as appraisers according to
law this twenty fifth day of September 1832
Wilkins Smith J.P.
And because Wilkins Smith was also one of the appraisers:
I do hereby certify that Wilkins Smith on of the a-
bove appraisers was sworn to before me perform his
duty as appraiser according to law this first day
of October 1832

While it's obvious that Great Uncle Jeremiah was a wealthy man, it's not clear whether he was acting as a banker for his neighbors. There's no mention of that kind of role in his obituary which I transcribed here.
We're not done with Jeremiah Warren's estate--the executors were required to file annual accounts with the Probate Court so we can find out more about what happened the years before the final settlement.
*Presumably this refers to Macon County, Georgia, and not Macon County, Alabama, which was much farther away.
