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

1774-1779" Transcribed by - SUE ASHBY 1999 -May, 1776 "William Dillard have leave to build a publick Grist Mill on Robersons Creek on his own land. Aug, 1779 "William Dillard to John Dillard for 200 pounds... a small piece of land...adjoining my mill on Robertson's Creek for the use of the said Mill

together with the said Mill and all the buildings timbers & etc." Signed, Wm. Dillard May 28, 1781 "... My Will and desire is that if it should be the opinion of my Wife and my Executors hereafter to be mentioned that it should be proper and convenient to sell the Plantation where I now live and

my moiety of the Mill and Plantation on Haw River which I hold jointly with William Dillard ..." Ref: Mial Scurlock Will, dated 28th May, 1781- Proved Feb. Court 1782
