Boyer. I don't believe this booklet is available any longer. The booklet is also, no doubt, still under copyright so I can't quote it all here--but I thought I'd list the mills discussed in the booklet: Delaware Township (now Cherry Hill and surrounding territory) Burroughs' Gristmill French's Gristmill Howells' Cornmill, Champion's Gristmill, Shivers' Gristmill Leconey's Gristmill Roberts' Sawmill Matlack's Sawmill Ellis' Sawmill, Burroughs' Mill, Stevensons' Sawmill Horner's Sawmill Todd's Sawmill Sparks' Grismill, Hopkins' Gristmill, Matlack's Gristmill Swett's Gristmill, Peterson's Gristmill, Kay's Gristmill Newton Township (Now Haddonfield Borough, Haddon Township, Audubon Borough) Kendall's Corn Mill, Kay's Gristmill, Evans' Mill Githens' Plaster Mill, Haddon Mill Stoy's Sawmill Webster's Gristmill Albertson's Gristmill Breach's Gristmill, Harvey's Gristmill Hopkins' Gristmill Glover's Fulling Mill Union Township (Now Barrington Borough, Haddon Township) England's Mill Eldridge's Fulling Mill, Shivers' Fulling Mill Gloucester Township (now Laurel Springs Borough, Pine Hill Borough, Clementon Borough in addition to Gloucester Township) Troth's Fulling Mill Hillman's Saw and Gristmills, Tomlinson's Saw and Gristmills Brown's Sawmill Isaac Tomlinson's Gristmill Gibbs' Mills, Norcross' Sawmill, Marshall's Sawmill Thorne's Sawmill Flood Gates Sawmill Ward's Fulling and Gristmills, Blackood's Fulling and Gristmills, Kay's Mills Spring Mills or Tetamekon Mills The Cheesman Grist and Sawmills Ware's Sawmill Waterford Township (includes the current Voorhees Township) Matlack's Sawmill, Hillard's Sawmill Borton's Mill, Milford Gristmill Stokes' Sawmill Hopkins' Gristmill, White Horse Gristmill, Kirkbride's Gristmill General Jackson Mill, Richards' Sawmill Marple's Sawmill Iron Mill Burnt Mill Gloucester Township (current Winslow Township) Inskeep's Sawmill Bates' Sawmill Wiltsey's Sawmill, Albertson's Sawmill The mills with multiple names shown on the same lines above are the same mills which had different names and possibly different purposes but in the same location. The booklet includes a bit about the history of each mill and also includes a map showing the location of each mill. Joan ONE PERSON INQUIRED ABOUT TOWN SO IM INCLUDING THE ANSWER FROM JOAN AS IT MAY HELP SOME OF YOU Collingswood and West Collingswood was also formerly Newton Township. Many of the early settlers are buried in the cemetery in West Collingswood. Yup--I suspect the author listed it this way because none of the mills were actually in Collingswood although judging from the map (which is an 1846 map) two of the mills, Albertson's and Breach's, appear to be on opposite sides of the South Branch of Newton Creek. It is hard to judge from the roads in existence at that time and shown on the map just which township (current) those mills were in--they appear to be just west of the road that today would be Clements Bridge Road and south of the White Horse Pike (which existed at that time). ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
