This series contains information about the following Delaware River fortifications: Fort Mifflin, Billingsport and Redbank, and Mud Island. Information about each fortification includes an account of wages paid to laborers, the names of the laborers, and the dates on which the labor was performed. The receipt books of payments to laborers are arranged chronologically by the date of payment. Also included in this series are detailed receipts for goods bought to supply of the fortifications. Images are arranged by specific fortification, although not alphabetically. This collection is part of the Office of the Comptroller General which was created in 1782.
