    3. All this stuff I mention is in Randolph county. We placed the mill already. It was at 53N, 15W, sec. 9 W1/2, SE). South on 3 off 24 hwy. Turn left (east) on the second road (CR 157) and drive to creek. We suspect it was on the west (and north) bank of Sweet Spring Creek, but not sure about that. Nothing at site anymore. The mill stones are in Huntsville Court House lawn. This mill was a big deal in Randolph county, so I'm sure there is some nice history on it somewhere. For one, you can read how in 1853 James Harrison Bagby fixed & restarted the old mill on this web site: http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/b/a/g/James-Bagby/index.html Scroll down to Family Tree Maker Genealogy report of William Bagby. Go to "James Harrison Bagby" and hit the +- next to his name. I suspect the spring was on the north side of the creek in NW Sec. 16. There appears to be an old structure (house) there that is pretty far from any road. This could be incorrect though. The church has not been located yet. There is a church that is probably still standing today at CR 161 and BB called Sweet Springs METHODIST (and Presbyterian ) Church.. It may even still be in use. The one I want to locate is the Sweet Springs Baptist Church, and it's been history for at least 80 years now, but was probably in the same general area. Mike > Is it supposed to be in Howard or Randolph County?
