In a letter from Thomas Darlington, dated Dec. 30, 1865, he says : "I have discovered that the company mill must have been built at a much later date than was supposed, viz., between the years 1742 and 1746, some fifteen years after the Pound was located, and tradition says did not long do business enough to pay a miller to attend to it, and some- times the farmers undertook to grind their own grist." The "Town Pound" was on the south side of the Great Road that crossed the Brandywine at Chads' Ford, the west side by the mill race, being only forty feet square. The lease for the Pound was from John Chads to John Wilson, Abraham Darlington and John Bennett. Dated 21st of January, 1731, and to continue for 999 years.
