Notes
Event
Cornelius Tyson (after many sales beginning in 1744 with Richard Harrison) bought the property running along the Stony Creek up the present Stanbridge Street and built a mill there.Event
Some time after Cornelius Tyson bought the property along the Stony Creek in 1764, he erected a mill. According to tradition, this was one of the mills rented out by George Loesch of Germantown, converted to a powder mill for the war effort, and burned by British troops. It was probably this damage for which Joseph Tyson, Cornelius' son, was compensated after the war.The Stony Creek grist mill passed out of the Tyson family in 1797 when William Abbett bought it.
