Scope and Content Note

This series contains schedules of claims examined and ordered to be transmitted by the Auditors Board. A law of 1861 established a board of officers (governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, comptroller, attorney general, and state engineer and surveyor) to recruit men into the military service of the state. A law of 1862 authorized this board of officers to pay claims for the expenses of the troops raised by the 1861 law if the claim had not already been paid. The claims were audited by the Inspector General, Judge Advocate General, and Quartermaster General, and were to be paid by the treasurer on warrant of the comptroller.

The records contain: the number of the claim; name of claimant; dollar amount of claim; and date of board meeting at which the schedule of claims was prepared.
