Scope and Content Note

This series is a record of sales of state land. The volume has three basic sections of information. The first is arranged geographically giving purchaser's name, date of purchase, lot, account book number and page, and has a mark that appears to indicate whether it was returned, paid in full, or delivered to the Attorney General. The second set of information begins on page 370 and is arranged by book number of the account books of bonds and mortgages for sales of state lands (old series A1336). Information given here is lot number, book number, purchaser's name, and the relevant page. The third set of information begins on page 425 and lists bonds delivered to the Surveyor General. It is arranged geographically and gives information on lot, purchase, purchaser, book number and page, and has penciled notes relating to the amount and payment.
