"It must have been a sort of "blue Monday" to very many people for miles about the French grist mill ( at Glen Castle) when the water in the creek became so low that no grinding of grain could be done. It is said that "Uncle John Seymour," father of Henry Seymour, of Whitney's Point, used to tell of going in a canoe to "Willow Point" to mill, taking grists for all the neighbors and being gone three weeks. When folks went to mill those days, there was no telling when they would get back. "
