Title
- Registers of non-resident lands sold in tax sales by county treasurers
Series Number
- B1605
Summary
- In 1850, the state legislature transferred the function of selling and conveying land for unpaid taxes to the county treasurers.

In 1855, the legislature restored the former system of sale of non-resident lands by the comptroller.
