 town meeting was held in New London the 10th of November, 1850, to with MT. Winthrop (founder of New London and governor of Con necticut) about establishing mill to grind corn. Sixteen persons were pres ent at the meeting. The establishing of a mill was considered of prime inn portance to the colony. It was voted that the inhabitants should pay for the making of the dam and heavy work belonging to the mill Six men were selected to perform the work and were to be paid two shillings a day and six others were to rate the town to defray the charge.
 Further. it is agreed that no per son or persons shall set up any other mine to grind corn for the town of Pequett within the limits of the town either for the present, or for the future, | so long as John Winthrop or his heirs do uphold a milne to grind the town l corn"
 On a little slip of paper dated July, | 1851 is given the names "nt wrought l at the mill Dam" This gives a list of | he male inhabitants of the plantation 1 those who were able to work" 42 in all.
 At town meeting Dec. 26. 17os, the l mill is spoken of as ''being like to be | altogether useless in a little time"
