Under an act of April 4, 1837, surplus monies received from the U.S. Treasury were loaned to each county.
The money was to be loaned out by two Commissioners, appointed by the governor, to residents of the county on mortgages on
improved land at 7% interest. The office of Loan Commissioner was abolished in 1911 and many records were deposited with the
Comptroller.
