In 1740, John & Abijah moved further up the Manatwany Creek to an Indian
settlement called Amity (the name means 'Peace'), Berks County, PA. The
Indians were very friendly with the boys and helped them cut the logs to
build
their houses and clear the ground to plant. They built a grist mill and
later a
saw mill. John rand the grist mill and Abijah the saw mill. The grist
mill
partly burned down in 1740, they rebuilt it and made the lower part with
legs
and the upper part with stone, dug out of the ground around the mill. The
old
mill was still in use in 1933. John willed the grist mill to hisson
Joseph,
he died a short time after Joseph willed the mill to his brother Othneil,
who
ran it util he died in 1831.

Griener,
