Do you know of Askwith ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Askwith. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Askwith.<1>

Our sources for Askwith (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Askwith other than they indicate that Askwith would be found somewhere in Somerset County, Maine.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1902 and closed  in 1911.
