Scope and Content Note

This series is composed of thirty three volumes of information abstracted from the original depositions of resident aliens (series A1869). The information from the original deposition was apparently transferred into this standardized format, which indicates the names of deponent and certified officials, place in which the deposition was signed, and date on which the deposition was filed in the office of the Secretary of State. Volumes one and two of the abstracts include a record of fees paid by deposing aliens 1825-1835. Registers of fees paid by aliens for depositions can be found in series A1871.

Early depositions are calendered in: Scott, Kenneth and Rosemary Conway, comps. New York Alien Residents, 1825-1848. Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Company, 1978.
