Description
North Yarmouth 1771 Taxpayers and 1790 Heads of Families is taken from two sources, The Massachusetts Tax Valuation List of 1771 (Rockport, Maine: Picton Press, 2nd printing, March 1998) and Heads of families at the first census of the United States taken in the year 1790: Maine (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., 1973). As noted in the preface to The Massachusetts Tax Valuation List of 1771, the Massachusetts General Court in 1771 passed “An Act for Enquiring into the Rateable Estates of this Province,” which required every Massachusetts municipality to elect assessors and perform an annual valuation. The names and associated individual IDs in the list were entered into Microsoft Access exactly as they appear in the original volume. Heads of families at the first census of the United States taken in the year 1790: Maine includes the names of the heads of families, the number of free white males 16 years and above and under 16 associated with the heads, associated free white females, all other free persons and slaves; this volume replicates the North Yarmouth data appearing in the 1973 reprint of the original 1908 publication.
