Scope and
Contents
This collection is comprised of two abstract
books presumably created in 1866 -- 1867, but the entries begin with land transactions
that took place starting in 1845. These abstract books also contain tax
information. The map shown above, taken from Volume one, is of the Port of
Princeton. Princeton is a town twenty miles north of Davenport.
