I suspect that this mill was the same one mentioned by Edwin's father in one of his many land transactions as being on the farm later owned by Edwin's daugher Dorcas and her husband Stephen Wooster (probaly either on the Beaver Meadow Brook, or near the spring that served the Wooster's house for many years). From various deeds recorded in the Marshfield Land Records we learn that in May of 1848 Edwin purchased a small parcel of land and water privileges from Jacob Putnam along the Beaver Meadow Road near the intersection with John Tibbitts Road. Edwin built a sawmill on this parcel. In January, 1852 he sold the land and mill to his son Levi. A map drawn later by Town Clerk E.W. Gilman shows a mill pond associated with this site.
