The mill on my main page was the mill of George Welch then Jacob Scudder's then M. L. Poole's. <A HREF="http://www.hometown.aol.com/MFLP/index.html">Don na Parrish on Forsyth County, Georgia</A> http://www.hometown.aol.com/MFLP/index.html. I am sure the boards changed over the years, but the granite foundations probably remained the same. (The mill burned, but the foundations are still there just outside the fence of the new Pool's Mill Park) George Welch was a mixed blood. He signed the Treaty that yielded the land in Georgia to the US thus paving the way for the removal. His wife was a Jones and believed to be the sister of Jacob Scudder's wife. He applied for Ga citizenship and was not removed. He died in the 1840's and his wife remarried in Cherokee Co. Somewhere I have the names and birthdates of all his children from George Morrison Bell of Texas who wrote a book following up on Emmitt Starr's book. An interesting note I found in reading the microfilm rolls of Cherokee Letters to the Bureau of Indian Affairs is that George Welch wrote a letter stating that someone had tried to ambush him and asking the government for protection. Is this of some help? Donna
