This volume is the first in a series devoted to presenting a
transcription of the surviving serial manuscript records for the
town of Wilmington, Essex County, New York, in the High Peaks
region of the Adirondack Mountains. The first ledger book for the
Town of Wilmington, "lost" for many years, covers the period from
the founding of the town in 1821, until 1865 (except for cattle
earmarks which are covered until 1884), and contains a record of
the Town of Wilmington minutes, plus much more. The minutes of
annual and special town meetings are included. Entries make special
note of the persons elected or appointed to various offices: e.g.,
Town Clerk, Town Supervisor, Assessors, Commissioners of Highways,
Overseers of Highways, Path Masters, Justices of the Peace,
Overseers of the Poor, Tax Collectors, Election Inspectors,
Sextons, Poor Masters, Scalers of Weights and Measures, and
Superintendents of Schools. Votes are recorded for provisions for
the poor and schools. Surveys of new roads, and occasionally new
plats, are included. Highway taxes, in the form of corvee labor or
days of labor owed by individuals, are recorded for every year.
Earmarks for cattle are registered and illustrated. The original
ledger is not consistently chronological and is often illegible;
however, the authors have attempted to transcribe the entries as
presented. Names have been faithfully transcribed, and it is not
unusual to find the same name spelled several different ways. A
full name index adds to the value of this work.
