Research Notes - Caldcleugh Mill Account Book

In researching the Hinkles in Rowan County I came across references to Caldcleugh's Mill and in turn to Andrew Caldcleugh's Mill Account Book which is housed at the W.S. Hoole Special Collections Library at the University of Alabama.  I've been corresponding with the archivists and this week they sent images of pages in the account book.
