Love is eternal.

Comment on White’s Mill: The Dramatic Conclusion by Sabra Smith

Could have been fantastic community space, art studios (huzzah for the creative economy!), or even loft apartment space. Different kinds of people need and desire different kinds of living spaces. Not everyone who lives in the ‘burbs wants to be in a house or 1980s vintage townhouse. The miller’s house supposedly dates to the 18th century (the house we see now was built around the original structure — old, old bones). This site I wrote about for obvious reasons — the family connection and plethora of materials available to me (many of which I haven’t even featured yet…) Genealogy is often a leaping-off point, as was classwork for my masters degree. Thanks for visiting, Matt!

It’s sad that the mill ended up just being torn down. It seems to me it had the potential to be an exhibit or museum. I can see you’ve done a lot of great research. I’m glad I ran across your blog!

By the way, just curious, how do you track down these places you research?

You mean the Emlen property — it is not this house and is in a different location — but is still standing, and yes, the Emlen property was once owned by John Fitzwater.

What a marvelous bit of time traveling, Sabra—a peek at the daily life of a miller and, in his letters, a touching reminder of how tough and fragile the life was. Your family is so fortunate that you were able to piece together all these details.
