A sheriffs sale is basically the act of selling a person's home/property when the mortgage has been foreclosed on. Not a pleasant action, but unfortunately it did take place. These sales were also sometimes held when the owner was deceased and there were no other family members. Below are entries as they were found in various newspapers of the day.
In an effort to get more on these pages, I have reformatted this page with links. Each section will tell you the name of the paper and the date; also it will tell you the surnames of all parties mentioned as well as the type of sale is it.
