This third and final publication on Washington County families by authors Leonard F. Tibbetts and Darryl B. Lamson covers 168 families found to be living before 1850 in the towns of Jonesboro and Jonesport, Maine, including what later became the towns of Roque Bluffs and Beals. These family records are based on local town vital records along with many gravestone inscriptions and occasional family Bibles. US federal census records were utilized as well as Washington County probate records and deeds.
Prior to about 1783 settlers in this area were at the mercy of combatants in the French and Indian War and were either killed or driven away, leaving no records. This makes research in the Washington County region all the more difficult. If you are doing any amount of research in this county, this book should be on your library shelf.
