| GENEALOGY RESEARCHERS: I am sorry but I am unable to provide further information about specific individuals or families you maybe researching, other than what is in the context of this website, as I am not a resident of Wexford County. I do the county on occasion and have a lot of photos I plan to add, along with any other things I may locate when I am there. Thank You. |

a pamphlet "Rural Schools of Wexford County Wexford Territory, , was organized by the State Legislature in April 1840, under the Indian name of Kautawaubet (broken tooth). Three years later, an Irish name (Wexford) was selected for no significant reason. The County was organized by the State Legislature in 1868, at which time there were four Townships; Wexford, , Hanover and Colfax. The first settler in the County was B.W. Hall who settled near Sherman in 1863. |
