Thomas W. Abbott,
"United States Census, 1880"
Event Place: Monroe, Sevier, Arkansas, United States
Household Gender Age Birthplace
Self Thomas W. Abbott M 59 South Carolina, United States
Wife Mary E. Abbott F 55 Virginia, United States
Daughter Mary T. Abbott F 11 Arkansas, United States
Other Charles Scott M 33 Georgia, United State
~~~~~~~~~~
About the year 1869 a man named Thomas Abbott brought a steam saw and grist mill into the country and put it down a short distance north of Rolling Fork salt works. This mill solved the problem of meal and lumber. I have known men to bring corn to this mill a distance of 25 miles in ox wagons.
It was not to be many years before both saw and grist mills became more plentiful. During this scarcity of mills Ben Norwood, Sr., of Norwoodville, built a little overshot mill near Norwoodville that supplied that neighborhood with meal.
