[coosa1.ged]
"At the Youngblood Mill Creek there were two mills put up at about the
same time, probably in 1836. The upper one was afterward known as
Redmond’s Mill, but the name of the original owner and builder has been
forgotten. William Talbot was the owner of the other one. Both mills had
been torn down by 1883. The town of Youngblood was settle in 1834 by
James Youngblood, David Youngblood, Jacob Youngblood, and John B.
Youngblood, who migrated from the Edgefield District of South Carolina.
The Talbots, also, were pioneers at Youngblood. The mill rock was brought
by James Youngblood from South Carolina to Pike County when he migrated
in 1834. The mill was constructed in 1836. It was rebuilt in 1919 and it
still stands. Youngblood Mill has enjoyed great popularity as a
recreational area for many years. It is a popular spot for fishing and
water skiing at present.
Life in the village of Shellhorn has always centered about the mill.
The grist mill was operated by Snell, Belser, Cochran, Garner MaQuagge,
Geroge Youngblood, Sr., and George Youngblood, Jr. Many think that the
name "Shellhorn" is a corruption of ‘shell corn.’" (1)
