Vaucluse Mill's turbulent origin to Graniteville ownership
The Vaucluse textile venture in Aiken faced early mismanagement and debt before William Gregg revitalized it. He doubled output, cleared debts, and later sold to John Bauskett and George McDuffie. After multiple transfers and a 1867 fire, Graniteville Co. rebuilt the mill in 1878 and expanded its operation, ranking among South Carolina's top cotton mills by 1880. Gregg's later investors included Gen. James Jones and 2,500 acres.
