The McDuffee Mills - near School-House No. 4, in Auburn:
"In the inventory of 1741, James Campbell (who lived in the Pearly Chase place at Walnut Hill) is set down as having a mill, and Daniel McDuffee (who lived at the Daniel Kimball place in Derry) had also a mill. The return of the bridle road from where Gilman Morse now lives, through the south road, Mar 25, 1740, ended at Campbell's sawmill. In the return of the road, Mar 5, 1747, it runs by the west end of Hugh McDuffee's corn mill. Hugh McDuffee owned the corn mill during his life, and Archibald and Mansfield McDuffee (his brothers) the sawmill.

James McDuffee is taxed in 1801 for two mills, which is the last tax on them. They soon went down. John McDuffee, son of Hugh, fell through the place for turning the runner and broke his neck".

Also, on Pg 560:
"John, who once owned the Manter mill in Londonderry, but fell through a place for turning the runner in the Chester mill and broke his neck".

Gravesite Details

Nov 2019: I have looked at every monument and marker in Village Cemetery for Hugh. There is a family grouping of McDuffie's that have several old and degraded stones that are either broken or the stone is worn away and unreadable. V. Haught #50051696
