This Index was prepared by The Huron Shores Genealogical Society. The information was extracted and keypunched, edited and published by Society member Alonzo J Sherman of Oscoda MI. There are about 560 names indexed. This Index was prepared from an original ledger donated to the AuSable-Oscoda Historical Society in November 2004. The ledger contains 172 pre-number pages, pages 113-170 were mostly torn out AND ARE USELESS, and pages 000a-0000c were written on unlined & unnumbered pages in the front of the ledger. The hand written ledger had been badly water logged. However, most of the entries are readable, although the name spellings vary greatly. There was no title or date for the ledger. The only date found was April 24 `08, on top of pages 4 and 5. Several names in the journal were identical to the names and the respective section numbers found in the 1903 Iosco County Plat Book for Burleigh Township, and therefore it is determined to be a record of Burleigh Township, Iosco County, MI. Document located in the Genealogy Area of the Parks Library, Folder HIS-3. There purpose of this ledger is unknown. However it similar to a tax assessment document, although it does not include the tax assessment dollar amount. Tax assessment documents typically include taxes for both real property and personal property. The journal is most likely an inventory taken to acquire information in order to prepare the Tax Assessment. Typical Items included in the ledger for each name are the legal description of land by Township North and Range East, and Section Number; number of acres and number of acres cleared. Other items included are: (1) Size and construction (Brick, block, frame or log) of buildings such as house, barn, stable, shed & granary. (2) Number of livestock such as horses, oxen, cows, & pigs. (3) Farm equipment such as a binder, buggy, cultivator, cutter, drill, disk, fanning mill, gasoline wood sawing machine, hay press, milk wagon, mower, rake, reaper, roller, sled, threshing machine & engine, wagon, & wire fencing. (4) Amount and size of harvested crops such as wheat, baled hay; & saw logs. (5) The sex, color and weight of the dog (p36-39). Some entries did not show legal description and acreage of the property, one could conclude these were homes only and not farms.
