The Edwin C. Jellett Series of Scrapbooks, Volume 9 -The Wissahickon
Page 166 contains Jellett's notes on white, lined note paper. The main heading is: "Wissahickon Near West Point." There are three separate entries regarding Mumbower's Mill, two of which contain information shared with Jellett by other sources (most likely his Park Guard sources). What can be deciphered indicates that the first mill was built at the site in 1754 by Abraham Evans, with a grist mill added to the saw mill sometime between 1746 and 1758 by Jessie Jones(?), the next owner.Collection
