About This Collection

This collection contains a record relating to the payment and settlement of public money kept for the purpose of auditing, liquidating and adjusting Commonwealth accounts. Although the entries are dated from 1775-1790, the actual books were probably compiled between 1790 and 1792 for auditing purposes. Entries relate to expenses, revenue, taxes, fines and transactions of county officials. Information provided includes a description of each transaction, the amounts involved, the page numbers of the corresponding entries in Ledgers A-AA (also digitized). Images are grouped by year that transactions occurred. This collection is part of the Office of the Comptroller General which was created in 1782.
