Mitchells Mills is Diamondville on route 403 Cherryhill Twp Newmans Mill is Cherry Tree the following is exerpt from this web page http://www.rootsweb.ancestry com/~paindian/townships/montgomery/cherrytree/cherrytreepaaplacetostart.pdf Also in the year 1822, Richard Smith, settled along Cush Cushion Creek about 5 miles from the tree. Mr. Smith was known throughout Western Pa. as Richard Smith, Quaker Smith and Trader Smith. He became interested in establishing post offices and post roads throughout this part of the commonwealth. There is little doubt he used his influence to have the Bardsville office established in 1830, with Richard Bard as postmaster. The office was located in Clearfield County near the present day railroad yards. In the spring of 1826, William Sebring erected a frame gristmill in 1827, and in 1828 he built a sawmill a short distance from the gristmill. In 1833 Mr. Sebring sold his mill to Peter Newman and that same year the Post Office was moved to the Newman property in Indiana County. The name was changed to Newman's Mills with Peter Newman as Postmaster. Mr. James Mehaffey was the next proprietor of the mill, and he sold the property to the McKeages of Clinton County in 1847. The Cherry Tree gristmill was erected in 1847; it was 38 X 50 ft., 3 stories high and had three runs of burrs (no doubt these were the stone grinding portions of the mill because a stone burr is the best for grinding wheat to flour). Its motive power was an overshot wheel 10 ft. wide and 12 ft. in diameter. The McKeage saw mill was built in 1864. Following the sale of the Newman property, the Post Office was moved to the Campville side of the river. During this time postmasters were the spoils of political war. Mr. E.B. Camp, a stalwart Republican, was in charge of the Newman's Mills office during General Grant's term as President. He petitioned the Postmaster General to have the named changed from Newman's mills to Grant in 1867. The next 40 years, the mail carried the following addresses "Cherry Tree, Grant Post Office, Pennsylvania" to be changed to Cherry Tree, Pa in 1907. -------Original Message------- From: MELISSA Date: 9/28/2009 3:27:29 PM To: Indiana County Subject: [PA INDIANA] Mitchells Mills and Newmans Mills Could anyone tell me where and Newmans Mills were located in Green Township, Indiana County, PA, in 1860?
