This volume contains those records of Liber A (seventeen pages) not included in the above book, plus all of Liber B. These documents seem to be concentrated for the following periods: 1693-1698 (twenty-three pages), 1783, 1788, 1792, and 1802-1805, plus a scattering of entries of various dates. This is a hodge-podge of records, obviously re-recorded in no real order. Many of the documents of the latter periods are petitions, deeds, mortgages, manumissions, agreements, bonds, and a few certificates attesting to wounds received in the Revolution.
