The following list of mill owners was compiled by Virginia in light of the War of 1812 and the government's need to have more information on the availability of food and industrial production to support the war. This information was compliled by Wilmer Kerns during research for his book, Historical Records of Old Frederick and Hampshire Co., Va.; Heritage Books, Bowie, Md., 1992. We appreciate his drawing our attention to this list as we endeavor to make available more information on early industries of Hampshire County. One should consult his work for further information. The original source of this information is available only by special permission of the Clerk of Frederick County, Virginia, so we have no further information on these mills. Note: this listing includes "Old Hampshire County" which includes Mineral County.
