The legacy contents list for this collection was very detailed but had no information regarding what folder each item was in, and the order of the list did not match the physical order. The documents had previously been categorized chronologically–-e.g., Folder 1, 1788-1860; Folder 2, 1860-1943; Folder 3, undated. To facilitate use, we placed all the land grants and oversize deeds of land in one oversize folder, then sorted the remaining documents into folders by document type. This seemed most logical because there were many documents of the same category–-for example, many contracts, many ledgers, etc. If there were only a few documents of one type, we foldered them with documents of a similar type/similar subject matter. For example, Folder 5 has birth and death certificates, wills, and related items. We noted and added descriptions of items that were not in the original contents list, added corrections in brackets to misspellings of names, and fixed incorrect dates and other information. A few items from the legacy contents list were not located. If you are having trouble locating an item from an old citation, please contact us for assistance.
