These confederate imprints were also found in the same attic in Lexington,va. There are several of them with the following turnpike company's - Raleigh and grayson, Wythe, Middleway and Geraldstown, Indian poll drawbridge co. I only took picture of one but the others are in similar condition. Most date to 1862-1863 and cover the operating costs for the turnpikes for the year stated.

Jamie, i showed these to a friend who is a curator at the local historical society and he told me any paper item that was printed in the south during the civil war was considered a confederate imprint. As far as i can tell from reading these you are right on about these being from a company who did upkeep of the road systems.There also was alot of local political paper items dating from just after the civil war where these were found which i donated to the historical society. I did some quick research of these with the names on the papers and some of the names on paper were well known during the civil war era.
