Natalie, where was the Grist Mill?We have a very early German at Valley Forge who ran a grist mill for the troups until a Loyalist ground glass into the meal. The Loyalist was arrested, but that is all I know. Ingrid sammyb555@wv-cis.net

Hi Ingrid....that was a quick reply! My Henry Magee landed at Philadelphia...purchased a tract of land west of Philadelphia but later moved to Perth Valley. His wife, Nora, has also been called Ann. Supposedly, as the "story" goes, she walked with her two boys, eight and two yrs old, to New York where she found work sewing for the wives of British Officers. She eventually reached Halifax, Nova Scotia, aboard a man-o-war. It had been FIVE years since Henry fled Pennsylvania...but they were finally reunited. Looking at my Magee File I note that there is a marriage record on the IGI in the LDS records stating that Henry Magee and Ann Boyde were married in 1765 at the Diocese of Clogher, Ulster Province, Ireland. It is peculiar because in his Loyalist Papers HE states that he is from Enniskillen, Fermanaugh, Ireland...but in another source it said he lived in Armagh. Don't you love it? Anyway, I am searching info on both of them.

This area sounds like Chester Co. Pennsylvania. Believe it or not, it would not be that long of a walk to New Jersey or New York from there, so to speak. The western part of what is now New Jersey was once part of PA's Chester Co. I think PA was in a squabble with all the surrounding states over her borders!!
