Summary
"Major fieldwork for this soil survey was completed in 1981. Soil names and descriptions were approved in 1982. Unless otherwise indicated, statements in this publicaion refer to conditions in the survey area in 1982." [introduction]
Includes warrants p.567-757 and largely textual documents dealing with land transfers, including some warrants and other instructions to surveyors, p.2747-3445.
Contains mixture of texts and drafts, p.3446-3467.
This box has a stickie note on it that reads, "This is a donation from F&M. We have other Taylor papers under microfilm #246. We think the material in these 2 reels [#246 A&B?] directly precedes what is in other reel - or 1 reel may be a duplicate." Anyone who finds out gets a cookie from the Library Director!
[Includes warrants, p.758-939, surveyors drafts p.2344-2747] <- the preceding page numbers are penciled in on the cover of microfilm drawer 1 sec. 3: #246, "John TAYLOR papers". I have no idea whether this reel, #246-B holds those pages or reel #246.
Use with Index to Warrants (758-939) found in Taylor Papers by Debra D. Smith LC 310.2 T238s.
