1863 Business Directoty for Lapeer County, MI


Business Directory, transcribed from the 1863 Map of Lapeer County, MI published by Samuel GEIL.

This is a large map, with a wealth of information for genealogists. Names of property owners are shown on the map. The business directory and portraits of prominent homes are scattered over the page. Click the thumbnail map on the left for a download page.

The villages of Almont, Dryden, Hadley, Lapeer, Thornville have directories separated from the townships. Most people were farmers, so they are listed separately.

This page has a transcription of the business directories on the map, which might be useful since it is searchable, hence accessible to the site search tool. It is also convenient for copy and pasting.

Allison Township (became Burnside in 1863)
