* A grist and sawmill combined. Robert Livingston, in a letter written by him in 1712, says, " A 

 little mill at Catskill grinds so coarse it cannot be bolted." 



f He built it for a landowner named Hammond, receiving in payment a stated sum of money and 

 five lots of land (800 acres?). Under the terms of the contract he also cut out the first road from New- 

 comb to Long Lake.
