Accounts for road improvement, [ca. 1806-1819]

These records document the construction, operation, and maintenance of various turnpikes in New York State and were generated as a result of the passage of several separate legislative acts. Most records are itemized accounts detailing construction costs and receipts for services or goods, but these are also vouchers, contracts and agreements, correspondence, lists of taxes received for road improvements, and affidavits. Most records concern roads around Salina (Onondaga County), Oneida Creek to Chittenango Creek, and Oswego to Sackets Harbor.
