Transcriber's Notes Regarding ........
Pauper Claims: Although some of the county money appears to have
been paid directly to the pauper, other claims are annotated
"trus" or "con". These abbreviations were not
explained. It is my impression that those claimants were
people who were guardians or caretakers of the paupers (or poor
families) and they were paid the money by the county, rather than
the money going directly to the pauper, ie: "trus"
being trustee and "con" being contract or contractor.
Insane Asylum Claims: It is my impression that those claimants were people who were paid for supplying a service or goods for the asylum. The abbreviations "spec. asylum" and "spec ins" were not explained further.
Interested researchers should research and determine for themselves.
