David Crozier.

   David Crozier was a native of Pennsylvania, born in 1795, and came to
Jessamine county when he was quite a young man. He built what is known as
Crozier's Mill, which is half stone and half wood, on Jessamine creek. In 1845
he carried on a cotton factory at his mill. He worked about forty hands, mostly
boys and girls, and manufactured cotton cloth and jeans. With the introduction
of railroads, and with the difficulty in getting materials (for by this time
Jessamine county had ceased to grow cotton, and the supply of wool was never
large enough to run the mill), this mill was closed. Thereafter Mr. Crozier
became associated with Dr. A. K. Marshall in carrying the mails from Lexington
to Bean Station, Tenn.

   He was energetic and enterprising and did much to foster and maintain the
earlier manufacturing establishments of the county.
