Scope and Content Note
This series consists of drafts of town assessment rolls prepared for county treasurers by tax assessors. The documents in this series were collocated as a manuscript collection and while the records assess personal and real property, the provenance of the series is unknown. Each document provides: name of possessor of real or personal property; description of real estate (acreage, farm, mill, tannery, etc; sometimes left blank); value of real estate; value of personal estate; and total assessed value. The series also includes a printed 1798 set of instructions to assistant assessors from United States Government relating to federal taxes.
