Chimney of 1759 Mill Site Near Deep River Reveals Early Guilford History
Rediscovered water mill site on Deep River near Old Jamestown reveals 18th century Mendenhall settlement. The 1832 rebuilt mill housed overshot wheels, oak framing, and hand-dressed timber, later burning in 1902 and submerging under city lake. Narratives recount James Mendenhall’s 1759 move to North Carolina and Judith Gardner Mendenhall’s wartime bravery.
