From Beers' "History of Cumberland County," pg 353: "At this time there was very little improved land between Mount Holly and Carlisle. In 1812 a paper-mill was erected by William Barber on or near the site of the mill now owned by the Mullin brothers. It was subsequently owned by Messrs. Barber & Samson Mullin, the grandfather of the owners of the present mill. It afterward passed into the hands of Messrs. Knox and McClure, and was burned December 26, 1846. The present mill was then erected in the succeeding year by Wililam B. Mullin, the father of the present owners. This earlier paper mill was the first ever erected at Mount Holly Springs. Paper making now became the chief industry of the place, so that the name Holly Iron Works was rarely applied to it, but it everywhere began to be known by the name of Papertown."
