(Research):In 1748, Adam's son, Jacob, built a grist mill
, one of the first industries in the wilderness area. A vil
lage known as Trollinger's Ford grew up around the mill.
Lord Cornwallis passed nearby during the last days of the R
evolutionary War. His foraging soldiers raided Trollinger'
s mill and confiscated the miller's grain. When Jacob confr
onted the redcoats, they bound him to a tree with a bridl
e bit in his mouth. Upon his release, Trollinger sent two o
f his sons and a slave to help fight the British.
