HISTORY OF AROOSTOOK * This is a 2 part book - researched by Mr. Wiggin; supplemented and published by Mr. Collins *** VOL I ** Comprising Facts, Names, and Dates relating to the early settlement of all the different Towns and Plantations of the County. Compiled and Written by Hon. Edward Wiggin 306 pages *** VOL I Part 2 Sketch of Development of Aroostook since the period covered by the Early History by Mr. Wiggin By George H. Collins. 122 pages originally published in 1922 *** *** THIS BOOK IS NOTED AS BEING THE ONLY COMPLETE COMPILATION OF FACTS COVERING THE EARLY SETTLEMENT OF AROOSTOOK COUNTY MAINE, an excellent historical reference with genealogy information on the early settlers. *** I will list each of the towns and the surnames mentioned in this History of Aroostook, Maine. In most instances a notation of where these individuals / families initially came from is mentioned - many of the families settled in this area to "help secure the Maine border" the boundary was settled by the "Bloodless Aroostook War" - the early settlers were from Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Central Maine, Southern Maine, Western Maine, New Brunswick, Miramichi area of New Brunswick, etc. ***************** *** IT SHOULD BE NOTED that Mr. Wiggin; a true Maine Historian of his times and consistent with the then "Historical Ideals of Americanization"; wrote of the individuals who were of English - Anglo/Saxon non-Catholic descent who had settled in the area. Brief mention if any was given to the "New Brunswick squatters" who were living in the area prior to the influx of "American settlers", also mention is made in many towns of the Acadian refugees and French "immigrants", but no effort is made to mention their names. This is also true of the "Swedes that were brought to Aroostook to form a colony in 1871, most settling in New Sweden - the overflow settled in Woodland. ******************************** TOWNS IN INITIAL POSTING : Houlton, Hodgdon, Weston, Amity TOWNS IN #2 POSTING : Linneus, New Limerick, Smyrna, Ashland.
