Summary:
This series provides summary information on cancellation of tax sales held to sell lands for unpaid taxes. While tax-sales for as early as 1800 are referred to, and a few cancellations are included for as late as 1946, the cancellations generally date from 1818-circa 1930. Usual causes for cancellation include errors in tax assessment, mistakes in payment records before the tax-sale, and redemption payments made after the tax-sale was completed.
