Scope and Content Note

The exact purpose for which this volume was used is unclear, but it very possibly documents communications between the Commissioners of the Land Office and parties with interest in real property escheated to the state. The volume includes three columns of information, none of which is identified by column heading. Two columns list names of individuals and the third column lists the name and address of a financial institution, law firm, or county clerk. The individuals could be parties with conflicting interest in an escheated property, while the institutions likely represented involved parties or possessed legal interest in the property itself.
