County Clerk's record of lands sold at annual tax sales for the previous year's unpaid taxes. For each parcel of land sold, the record shows year of tax sale, certificate number, to whom certificate sold, land description and acreage, and amount for which sold. For redeemed lands, the record also shows by whom redeemed, date of redemption, amount for which redeemed, and paid. For lands on which tax deed was taken, the record shows to whom deeded and date of deed. A few entries show the name of the former "supposed owner" of the land sold.
