Register of payments to overseers of abandoned children of slaves, 1797-1806 (bulk 1801-1806).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/82605647

This series consists primarily of a record of payments made by the state treasurer for the maintenance of the children of slaves. A section at the beginning of the series also contains a partial index (for which the references are unclear) and unrelated records apparently dealing with prison construction work. The state treasurer had custody of state funds and disbursed them upon warrant of the comptroller. These records were created to document the fulfillment of the treasurer's requirement under Chapter 188 of the Laws of 1801 to make periodic payments to the overseers of the abandoned children.
