THE FIRST TO COME: 1791 Taxpayers and more...

The list below includes names that appeared on the 1791 Readfield taxpayers list at the time of its separation from Winthrop and subsequent incorporation. Information will be added about each of these men, and their families, as it becomes available. Those whose information is already included on this website are linked. 

In some cases I have / will add some people who are not on the 1790 Winthrop Census

or 1791 Readfield tax payers list but came to Readfield early on (1792-1820). 

Also included on this site are the complete list of names that appear on the 1800, 1810 and 1820 U.S. Census.

Stats for 1790 - 1820
