 * Delete; it doesn't seem to be an inhabited place now, and per newspaper results, it doesn't seem to ever have been. It's referred to as a mill in every source I can find: in 1885, "Mr. E. A. Carter exhibited in down an alligator which he killed while it was asleep on a log at Barrett's mill pond with a blow from a rail, on Tuesday. The gator was eight feet long, and had an ugly look about him". In 1886, "a negro at Binns & Barrett's mill had his finger cut off last Tuesday by the saw". In 1891, "the dam out at Barrett's mill, on Walnut branch, near Waynesboro, is gone". Later we find two mentions of a bridge over Barretts Mill creek. I do not see evidence of a populated place, only that unfortunate accidents were visited upon a man, an alligator, and a dam on three Tuesdays in the late 1800s. jp×g 17:17, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
