    3. Rick, As far as known, there are no extant records of employees of the fulling (woolen) mill of Joseph Hollingsworth. The mill was probably located in what is now southwest Winchester (but then in the County) on Abram's Creek. The time period was the late 1700s, based on a newspaper ad placed by Joseph Hollingsworth in 1789. For more information on the subject of fulling mills in Frederick County, you should consult "Weaving a Common Thread: A History of the Woolen Industry in the Top of the Shenandoah Valley," by Wilbur S. Johnston, 1984. The fully-indexed 139-page book is for sale by the Winchester-Frederick County Historical Society, Pleasant Valley Road, Winchester, VA 22601. Wilmer L.
