Wells Township, Bradford Co, PA
<Previous | Next>
Wells Township was created in 1813 from the western part of Athens
Township. In 1818 land was taken from Wells to create Ridgebury
Township and again in 1835 to create South Creek Township. This
township is located in the extreme north west corner of Bradford
County with New York State to the north and Tioga County to the
west.
Wells Township had two villages, French Mills and Edsallville
in 1858.
The quality of this part of the map is very low making the transcription
incomplete at best.
Wells Township had seven school houses in 1858 plus three saw
mills. There were two Presbyterian Churches, each with a parsonage.

to review the Wells Township map and providing corrections and
omissions from my original transcription. [8 Nov 1999] Mr.
Jones' updates are in blue.
