■Rogers was granted permission t<> build a sawmill at Cold spring on condition that he furnish 

 lumber at a certain price "and deliver up the stream when the town wants it for a gristmill." 



b In 1659 John Tucker "propounded for liberty to sett up a sawmill neere the head of the river, and 

 liberty to cut all sorts of timber, but noe more of oake than fell in the common track of getting pine 

 and cedar which were the chief Inducements of getting a mill there to saw." 



•Charles Webb, who made a survey of the Minnisink patent in 1762, makes mention in his field 

 notes of Reeves's sawmill. 



■•This mill, which stood on the outlet of Brodhead Pond, was built wholly of logs and hewed tim- 

 ber. The race was Constructed from large hemlock trees " with much labor and ingenuity." 



•Steam mill. There may have been a water mill in the town before this was built; but if so there 

 is nothing in the town records to Indicate it.
