Pendergrass Mill
Shown on Ramsey (1870). This was probably originally the Mial and Sarah Scurlock Mill. Mial received permission to build a mill near the Chatham Court House on Robeson Creek in August 1784. A few years later, Sarah Scurlock received permission to build a mill in the same place, but it appears that she had to condemn property on the opposite bank in order to do it.
The Mial Scurlock mill was co-owned by William Dillard - referred to in Mial Sculock's will as being on Haw River, but probably meaning this mill. Also:
Ref: "CHATHAM COUNTY COURT OF PLEAS AND QUARTER SESSIONS
