Hi Folks, Carole Drexel and I have been reading parts of Clyde Hollingsworth's "Pioneer Days" and Carole noticed something odd. On page 39 there were twice mentions of "Paris MILL Academy". I think that was a 'slip of the mind' and / or perhaps a repeated typographical error. People frequently wrote about Paris Mill. It wouldn't be surprising that some writers describing Paris Hill Academy (at Cameron near Jarrell Pond and the Ogeechee River) might erroneously write down 'Paris Mill' (located at Millhaven on Brier Creek). Further down in the same paragraph there's mention that the academy was situated atop a hill. Then, go back to the 1830s through '60s maps that are available and they display "Paris Hill Academy". Anyhow, I found four historical documents that also name the school at Cameron as "Paris Hill Academy".
