Abstract:

Manuscript history compiled by Bird from published and unpublished sources of early families who lived in the town of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Each family has a separate biographical sheet, providing names, ages, occupations, property ownership, vital dates, and data from cemeteries. The manuscript also includes several photographs of existing original structures and copies of plat maps. An index to the family names is at the beginning of the manuscript.

The town of Milwaukee was created in 1838, and portions became the towns of Wauwatosa and Granville (1840s), Whitefish Bay (1892), Shorewood (1900), Fox Point (1926), River Hills (1930), Glendale (1950), and Bayside (1954). The town of Milwaukee legally ceased to exist in 1955.
