Scope and Content Note

This series consists of five index books pertaining to Court of Chancery records. The index books provide a name and number, possibly a court case number or a file number. Included in one of the books is an index to lunatics, infants, etc. along with a number. These indexes were probably created in the 1850s and 1860s by New York State Court of Appeals staff in order to help them access the voluminous records that were transferred to them by the Court of Chancery. It is unclear to what specific Court of Chancery records these index books relate.
