This series contains applications by occupants or mortgagees of non-resident lands sold for unpaid taxes, seeking to redeem lands from sale upon payment of taxes. Most documents are affidavits of occupancy, giving detailed information on how long the occupant occupied the land and its use (usually farming or lumbering). Also included are affidavits of mortgagees stating why they are interested in the property. Documents provide county and a description of the lands redeemed.
