Journals (PA) 1799-1808

About This Collection

This series consists of two journals which record the warrants issued by the Comptroller Generals Office during the above listed dates. Entries for each warrant might show the name of the person receiving the warrant and the position he held in the state government or the military. Typical persons to whom warrants were issued include judges, assemblymen, councilors, militia officers, county tax collector, sheriffs and various laborers of the state. Other expenses recorded in these warrant entries included payment of interest on the funded debt and pensions to widows of the Pennsylvania Line. Please note that the Journal containing pages 1-728 could not be located and was probably lost over time. Images are grouped by year warrants or vouchers were issued. This collection is part of the Office of the Comptroller General which was created in 1782.
