I can remember years ago finding the type of date you mention below, and  
thinking that perhaps it represented when an event happened, versus the date  
that it was recorded.  When you're just starting to learn, you pick up all  sorts 
of odd notions.

By the  18th century it was not uncommon for clerks to employ the

or backward through a  record book to ascertain whether the clerks or
recorders changed the year  between December and January or between March
and  April.
