Hi: Spotted while using the USGenWeb state archives search engine for Maine. Regards, Nan [email protected] ------------------------------------------- http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ifetch2?/u1/data/me+index+108718569108 +F CNIDR Isearch-cgi 1.20.06 (File: p40to47.txt) Manufacturing in Winslow, Maine The Winslow Register Compiled by Mitchell and Davis 1904 Kent's Hill: Published by the H. E. Mitchell Co. 1904. pages 40-46 submitter: Tina Vickery (This is a portion of one paragraph in the article - Nan) Ebenezer Heald was granted 300 acres of land in Winslow in 1790. Soon after this he built a saw mill and a grist mill on Bog brook, both of which mills served their day and generation and peacefully passed away before 1810. JEFFERSON HINDS built a second grist mill there, in which John Nelson put a shingle machine. The whole establishment broke camp in the flood of 1832. Just above, on the same stream, ASHER HINDSs and Thomas Smiley built a double saw mill that worked its life away for its owners. Their sons replaced it with a new mill, that had passed its prim when the freshet of 1832 induced it to retire from business, and has no successor. ************************************************* * * * * NOTICE: Printing the files within by non-commercial individuals and libraries is encouraged, as long as all notices and submitter information is included.
