Attached is a photograph of James Athanasius Fenwick (1866) and a photo of his home taken by his cousin, Richard Woodmansie Jones, in 1910. Fenwick was raised by his uncle and aunt, Benjamin and Mary Howell Jones. Born in 1818, his mother and father, Susan Howell Fenwick and Athanasius Fenwick, both died in 1824. While a cousin, he was like a brother to Benjamin and Mary's children and grew up at Hanover Furnace. Of course, his daughter, Mary Anne, married Josiah White and the rest is history. Fenwick's home was originally Benjamin's country house, before he built "Halstead" (also attached) in the 1830s.

Good photos. I'll bet that mill has cedar siding (maybe). I went through Pemberton to get to middle school and high school. I went to marcus newcomb and then the high school across the street.
I wonder if that's grain piled under the window on top of the first level.

It's nice that the mill has a continued life. Several waterfowl decoys in my collection were purchased there.
