The series is a small assortment of unrelated items of uncertain provenance. Many of the documents date from the years immediately following 1797, when the Office of the Comptroller was established by combining the power to audit with the power to pay the state's accounts. Several of the documents dated ca. 1801 may relate to the comptroller's duties as a member of the Board of Commissioners of the Land Office to sell land for payment of delinquent state taxes.
