The Wells Township Assessment Lists (also known as tax lists) were lists
compiled each year by the township assessor, usually in the fall preceding
the assessment year. Besides giving the name and sometimes the occupation
these lists also gave the number of improved and unimproved acres, horses,
cattle, and other farm animals. There were also listed those families which
could not pay for their childrens' schooling and shown as "poor children."
These lists are at the Bradford County Historical Society in Towanda and
can be consulted for further information about acreage, animals, etc.,
that a resident was assessed for. In the earlier years even young single
men were taxed even if they did not own real estate. Ridgebury and South
Creek were included in Wells until their formation.
In April 1813 Wells Township was formed. Vine Baldwin, assessor,
returned to the Commissioner's office on March 10, 1814 the first assessment
of the newly created Wells. Just prior to this assessment, Wells Township
residents appear on the Athens 1813 assessment list (submitted to the County
4 May 1813). On the Athens 1814 assessment list (submitted to the County
10 Mar 1814) there is the the notation of which residents resided in the
newly created "Welles Township." Wells Township at its creation embraced
all of the present township, what became South Creek Township and five-sevenths
of what became Ridgebury Township.
Original Spellings are retained
