High Rock Mill
Aaron Pinson built this mill about 1752 (Powell 1968; Prince 1979). The mill was owned in the 1700’s by Richard Simpson, and later Zaccheus and Lydia (Simpson) Tate (ODB 12, pg 36; ODB 3, pg 211). In the 1800’s, Peter Bysor sold the mill to Governor Alfred Scales’s grandfather Nathaniel (RDB M, pg 16 & 18), whose widow Mary sold the it to Ludwick Summers in 1837 (RDB 2X, pg 156), who later owned the Troxler Mill as well. Grist and saw mills were in operation here for 160 years until the dam was dynamited for mosquito control in 1912 (Prince). Still the dam is mostly intact, now belonging to the Rockingham Historical Society.
