Yes, Oshawa Creek runs thru Lot 11, Conc 1.<br /><br />According to the history books I have been reading, Samuel Dearborn built the first grist mill and saw mill in Oshawa on lot 11 in the third concession.<br /><br />Then I read, "we moved to Oshawa to the place known as Gibbs Mills building the present mill it has never moved or broken away. My<br />Father sold out to my brother-in-law Mr. William<br />P.S. My Fathers name was Samuel Dearborn."<br /><br />and "The splendid water power at the old grist mill in the hollow near Oshawa"<br /><br />Where my house is located was once called Gibbs Mill or The Hollow.<br />Catherine McDiarmid-Watthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14554083442487604235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3607742662957351796.post-42961774964518691022013-07-08T17:27:40.411-04:002013-07-08T17:27:40.411-04:00Re: Conc 1, Lot 11.

Correct?<br />If so, that is the lot where Samuel Dearborn and his son-in-law built a saw mill and later a grist mill in 1817-9. If so, the Historical Society has a copy of the story of that structure on file. You had an older historian back in the 1980's who showed me the ruins of that mill, still visible. It seems to me that there was a large apartment building built on the east bank, of the creek that was used to power the mill.<br />Is this the same lot & conc. you are describing?<br />I am descended from the Dearborn, Rogers, and Demeray families that settled in the Broken Front and concession 2 prior to the incorporation of Oshawa. It was all refered to as East and West Whitby then.<br />You do have an interesting blog!!.<br />Blessings,<br />Roger Harris<br />1-501 Albert St., Stratford, ON N5A 3L6<br />519-271-8955Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3607742662957351796.post-91627784519042192362013-07-07T05:20:18.531-04:002013-07-07T05:20:18.531-04:00I love to see old town photos and especially the o...I love to see old town photos and especially the old cars.
