Rebecca Musteen Johnson Lisa Clark Winkleman, here's a link to William Davis' will, stating the inheritance of the mill. http://sites.rootsweb.com/~vapittsy/Davisgen.html Rebecca Musteen Johnson Lisa, you've probably seen the overview of the book, which does not include a list of mills. https://www.mitchellspublications.com/ur/loc/meltonh/18/ Rebecca Musteen Johnson Lisa, yes. "This is on page 151 of Herman Melton?s book Pittsylvania?s Eighteenth Century Grist Mills. The millstone is in Taylor Meadows yard." Here's a post, which includes that sentence. https://rdricketts.com/.../my-4th-great-grandfathers.../ Chris Bullock I have this book and contributed information on Sarah Oakes mill. She was the second wife of William Oakes and was one of the firs women to be licensed to be a miller in Virginia. She started the mill to support her family after her husband died.
