Reply to request for water-powered mill information: Attached is a scan of a slide I took many years ago at Landman's Mill (Note the sign on the front of the mill says Loramie Mills_Gilt Edge Flower).? The mill is located about 2.5 miles North-West of Piqua and?0.5 miles South-West of Lockington, just off hardin Road (the road that goes from Rt 66 past the Johnston Farm, to Lockington).? Also at and near the Mill are several locks from the Miami and Erie Canal system.? This mill is in what is now Miami County?(?in 1801, it was Hamilton County; in 1803, it was Montgomery County; and after 1804, is Miami County).

I am interested in finding any information on "mills in Miami County" in the 19th century. Specifically, I am interested in mills in Bethel Twp, Miami County, OH where a millstone would have been used with water power provided by a waterfall. I know little of the area or the topic. Please include all details for my instruction! If you have some knowledge due to information you may have in letters, journals or books about your ancestors, I would very much appreciate the information. This past weekend I attended the Ohio Genealogical Society's annual conference. It was held in Cincinnati. The topics and speakers were excellent. A cousin and I took advantage of the expertise of one of the genealogists in the Ancestor Road Show for a half hour consultation. She recommended that we research "mills" in Miami County. Our ancestor owned property within Bethel Twp. on the Great Miami River where Sullivan Trail winds about north of the National Highway, Route 40.

There are local histories on there. Cynthia Russell <c.russell@charter.net> wrote: Hello! I am interested in finding any information on "mills in Miami County" in the 19th century.
