Pulley's Mill and Pulley Family in Williamson County History
Pulley's Mill played a key role in early Williamson County life with a steam powered mill built in 1854 along Saline Creek. The article notes notable Pulley family members including Robert L. Pulley and James D. Pulley who served in county offices and legislature. The Daughters of the American Revolution marker recalls George Rogers Clark's 1778 march from Fort Massac to Fort Kaskaskia and the area’s link to early Northwest Territory history. The Pulley lineage extended into public service and local commerce, with the post office opening in 1864 and connections to local banking and Stonefort developments. Further details appear in Barbara Burr Hubbs 1939 gazetteer.
