    Old Mill is on the site of a 151 acre grant to Mordecia Lewis; his land joined
    the land of Isaac Runyan, son of Barefoot, and the land of Richard Fanshire.
    The plat shows a road to Lewis Mill". [Reunion at the River, Homecoming 1986,
    Pigeon Forge, Tennessee - September 13, 1986, author Beulah D.Lynn (current
