"New Albion," " "Lowry's (Laurie's) Mill, "Hutchinson's," and "Kirby's," are just a few of the names of mills that once reposed along the lake in Yardville. Years ago, a reader of one of my columns disputed a story I did relating to the area when there was a mill at Hutchinson's Pond. The writer understandably thought I was in error and pointed to Hutchinson's Mills on the other side of the township. Above is the story of Kirby's Mill, Sand Hills. I often wonder if there is a connection with the Kirby's Mill which is down in the Vincentown-Medford area of New Jersey. Perhaps a more knowledgeable visitor can tell us.
