    CHAPTER L.
    ST. GEORGE_S HUNDRED.
    On May 13, 1769, Jonas Preston petitions the court for a condemnation of mill land. He says in his petition that he has a tract of land on the north side of the main branch of Drawyer_s Creek
    and adjoining the same, whereon he doth intend to erect and build a "water grist-mill," and cannot secure sufficient water-rights without condemnation. A condemnation of six acres on the
    stream, at the place desired, was granted. The mill was erected by him, and at his death devised to his wife, Ann, who afterwards married Isaac << Eyre>> . By them it was conveyed to Robert
    McMurphy, August 1, 1776. On August 29, 1811,
    Samuel Thomas became the owner, and, after his death, it descended to his son, Samuel, and afterwards to David W. Thomas, who sold the mill to Israel Townsend. In 1844 it was operated by Cyrus
    Tatnam, who also conducted it for some time afterwards. On May 26, 1868, it was sold by Sheriff Herbert as the property of Jno. B. Lewis, and purchased by James A. Barton. Barton, in October,
    1873, sold the property to J.B. Deakyne, who conveyed it to J. Fletcher Deakyne, the present owner, in February, 1882. It is a two-story brick building, with basement and attic. The capacity is
    twenty-five barrels of flour and two hundred bushels of feed per day of twenty-four hours. A twenty-five horse-power engine is attached with which to run the mill when the water is low. The
    grinding is done by burr, and the products are mostly consumed in the vicinity.
