Note: Click here to see a post that contains links to the 1894-1898 road repair taxes for other townships in Aroostook County.

list of those residents and non residents of Portage Lake owing road repair taxes for the years 1894-1898 appears at the end of this post. Please leave a comment of you have information to share on any of these people.

This list won't take the place of the burned 1890 US Federal Census records, but it might provide clues. Bear in mind that of the residents mentioned, only the name of the actual owner appears, not the names of the entire household. And it's possible there were other households in the township not subject to taxation.
