Records, 1850-1853.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/21959745

The records are manuscript volumes. Volume one has printed headings with the title, "Bills receivable of the testamentary executors of the estate of John McDonogh," at the front of the book, with "Bills payable ..." at the rear. The front section appears, however, to have been used to record various types of financial paper held by the estate, including bills, notes, bonds, and warrants. Individual obligations, or series of obligations, are recorded by date of issue, name of drawer and/or endorser, date payable, and the amount of the obligation. In some cases other information (e.g., date of actual payment) is also included. The volume appears to have been in use from 1850-1853. The second volume, dated 1850-1852, is a cash book of receipts and expenditures. Most of the receipts are rents collected on property owned by the estate; for each property is recorded the renter's name, a description of the property, and the amount paid. On the expenditure side are recorded expenses of administration of the estate along with various charges for real estate and slaves. Most of the latter relate to taxes and insurance premiums due on properties held by the estate.
