Deeds of cession and assorted documents of record, [ca.1774-1846].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122601802

The volume contains approximately 60 documents, the bulk of which are deeds of cession, which were apparently brought together by the Office of the Secretary of State because of their oversize format. The office has served as the general recording office of New York government since colonial times, and the assortment of documents present in the series represents some of the most historically valuable items arising from that function.
