* Rogers was granted permission to 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." 



fin 1659 John Tucker "propounded for liberty co sett up a sawmill neere the head of the river, 

 and liberty to cut all sorts of timber, but noe more of oak 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.
