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.
Original Spellings are retained

(1) Many of the Wells families overlap the families of Sullivan and
Rutland Townships included in Joyce's Sulliven-Rutland Genealogy Project.
Some also moved to Sullivan and Rutland from Wells, or had properties that
overlapped the boundaries. Many intermarried with Sullivan or Rutland township
families. The SRGP IDs are the references to that person in Joyce's database.
