Scrub Hill

The Lathrops of Wayne County live on and around Scrub Hill.  This is a hill southwest of Wayne City and southeast of Keenes, IL.  My mom asked me if there was a Scrub Hill website and I googled it.  Ours is not the only Scrub Hill!

A cousin has set up a Lathrop Family of Scub Hill Facebook page.  I'm not sure the link will work if you aren't a member.  

Scrub Hill Press in Virginia publishing books related to medicine.

In 1822 William Goff, of Sheldon, brother of Hezekiah Goff, came to town, and for the sum of $1,000 bought the falls and much of the land surrounding.  He put into the saw-mill previously built by Blaisdell a run of stones for grinding.  Mr. Goff afterwards built the grist-mill now standing.  In making repairs on this mill, in 1884, the following inscription was found on the back side of the bolt: "The first grist-mill built in Richford was built by Colonel Seymour in 1797, burnt up in 1800.  The second built in 1803, by Jonathan Janes, and stood until William Goff built another in 1824.  William Goff built, in 1837, the mill now standing.  Men worked on this mill:  A.
