Summary:
This series consists of draft or executed deeds for lands sold for unpaid taxes and not redeemed. Deeds cite specific laws
authorizing tax sales but are otherwise in the standard form of a deed. A law of 1823 provided that when land taxes were unpaid
for a period of two years the land would be sold. If the owner paid the taxes within one year after the sale, it reverted
back to that person's ownership.
