Apsey Brook: Difference between revisions

William was awarded a land grant for much of the upper portion of Apsey Brook.  For those interested, the embedded PDF contains much information about the Smith's of Apsey Brook, including the grant.  This was found among documents provided to the author, who has no memory of the source.  If it is yours, please get in touch to add credit.

William had 7 sons, one of which does not appear in the records of Apsey Brook. See the [[Smith]] entry for more. Again, referencing the same information that was provided by Roy Smith, the family had a watermill in the brook (remnants were still there in the 1970s when I grew up), that operated for 6 days a week, with one brother operating it each day, and no operation on Sunday.Note: While the names of those having shares in the mill noted in the cited document may be accurate, they are not all son's of William.  Some are grandsons. The community name is also not as heard in other family members oral history, having always been known as ''Apsey Brook''. <ref>{{cite book
