    2. Angelina Bittues
    3. For my own personal reasons I am in the process of listing all the surnames mentioned in this book. I thought it may be of interest and help to others in their genealogy research; so I will post this to the list as I get the towns completed. I am sorry I do not have the time to do look-ups, but I am searching for an individual who will do them and will have the name posted by the first of the week so you may contact them. ********************************* 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AS BEING THE ONLY COMPLETE COMPILATION OF FACTS COVERING THE EARLY SETTLEMENT OF AROOSTOOK COUNTY MAINE, an excellent historical reference with genealogy information on the early settlers.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. ******************************** HOULTON, Me. : Beaman, Bloodgood, Bouchette, Bowman, Campbell, Cary, Chamberlain, Clark, Cowles, Cunliffe, Eastman, Eaton, Fairfield, Frisbie, Gallagher, Holland, Hooker, Houlton, Johnson, Kendall, Kirby, Lander, Magruder, McDowell, McIntyre, Putnam, Pearce, Powers, Rice, Ricketts, Scott, Staniford, Townsend, Turner, Warner, Whittaker, Williams, Wormwood.************************** HODGDON, Me. : Adams, Addington, Alexander, Atherton, Bell, Benn, Bigelow, Bird, Boyle, Bradbury, Breed, Brown, Buckley, Daggett, Deering, Drew, Durrell, Ferry, Furze, Gerow, Grant, Greene, Ham, Harrington, Haskell, Haven, Henderson, Holland, Hodgdon, Hotham, Houlton, Howes, Hunter, Hutchinson, Ingersoll, Jackins, Jewett, Jones, Kendall, Ketchum, Lander, Lincoln, Lloyd, Low, Lowe, Lyons, Madigan, Moore, Morrill, Nickerson, Outhouse, Packard, Perley, Peters, Pollard, Porter, Prescott, Putnam, Quint, Robinson, Sharp, Shaw, Skofield, Slipp, Smart, Smith, Stone, Tarbell, Taylor, Thomas, Tidd, Todd, Towne, Tuttle, Walker, White, Wiggin, Williams, Wilson, Worley.********************** WESTON, Me. : Bedel, Brackett, Brannan, Brastow, Buck, Butterfield, Buzzell, Clark, Cleaves, Coffin, Crosby, Danforth, Davenport, Earle, Ellis, Faulkner, Foss, Foster, Gellerson, Gilpatrick, Gove, Greenwood, Harris, Heal, Kelsey, Kidder, Lawrence, Loveland, Marble, Megquier, Monroe, Moody, Nelson, Peters, Philbrook, Pratt, Shorey, Smart, Smith, Springer, Turner, Watson, Webber, Weller.******************* AMITY, Me. : Austin, Ballard, Beede, Bradford, Burt, Carr, Clark, Clifford, Cone, Curtis, Daggett, Dakin, Davis, Deering, Dunn, Estabrook, Farrar, Greenleaf, Harmon, Haskell, Hughes, Kempton, Lander, Lizette, Martin, McCarric, Newman, Reed, Robinson, Shepard, Simpson, Slipp, Small, Smith, Spurr, Tracey, Tracy, Vandine, Walton, Wilkins, Williams, Winship, Wood.*****************************************
