I was wondering if anyone knew how far back any documentation goes back on White's Mill? Is there any info in the Historical Society? I was recently told that some one of my ancestors was possibly an owner. This person died in 1822. I realize that one the White's Mill Foundation site that they say documentation goes back only to mid 1800's but that they believe the mill to be up to a century older than that. Any other info would be greatly helpful. Thanks, T. Martin

Tammy, I am familiar with the history of White's Mill and periperally with your McCulloch family. The land that White's Mill stands on was originally settled in 1773 by William Moffett and Mary Gardner Moffett who came down into the Valley from Augusta Co. William died at Pt. Pleasant in 1774 and Mary took her 3 small children and returned north for a few years. How ever they had returned by 1785 at which time William's oldest son John received a patent to the land. Then in Jan. of 1796 John sold the same 330 acres to his younger brother Thomas who had married a few weeks earlier to a Mary Brown. In 1810 Thomas and Mary moved to Indiana and sold the land to Valentine Baugh. They in turn sold it to Thomas Jameson (sp?) in 1814. And Thomas and Rachel Jameson sold it in 1830 to John and Nancy Newhouse who in 1838 sold it to James White. Rachel Jameson was originally Rachel McCullock and hence the daughter of the Isabella Patrick and Thomas McCulloch you men- tioned in your second message. You had also asked about Isabella. My only other info on her is that she was the daughter of Robert Patrick and is named in his will recorded in Augusta Co. WB 3:90. Isabella had a brother Charles, who married Mary Moffett, the sister of William Moffett, mentioned in the first paragraph. Some of the above info is my own research and some of it comes from research on file at the Hist. Soc. of Washington Co. I would be happy to share copies of it with you if you want to get in touch with me. If it takes me awhile to get back to you I haven't forgotten about it; my Mom had an accident a week ago and I am helping where I can. Tammy, I'd love to know how you fit into the McCullock/Whites Mill history.
