Scope and Content Note

This series consists of two account books containing accounts with individuals or firms. Each account gives name of individual or firm; residence; and entries for amounts carried over from account books kept by "Bloodgood," Breese," and Fairlie," whose identity and positions are unknown. The second volume contains entries for interest, which may indicate that these are accounts for state debentures. The Comptroller was assigned the auditing function by laws of 1797 Chapter 21.
