LANDMARKS:Bellamy Falls and Mills, Gerrish's Mill, 

NAMES: DAVIS, Samuel; HAYES, Mr. Oliver; DUDLEY, Col. Samuel; 

	A short distance below the Hook (Bellamy Hook)once stood a mill for a 
brief period, built by Samuel Davis.          
	At the next falls were the Gerrish mills, also in Madbury.  The river 
here flows between two steep hills.  On the south side, below the bridge, 
was a grist-mill, and on the opposite bank a saw-mill. (See Gerrish's Mill.)
          Between Gerrish's mill and the present Boston & Maine railway 
bridge was a saw-mill on the Hayes land, built a centruy ago at least.  It 
was burned down Nov. 10, 1853, at which time it belonged to Mr. Oliver Hayes.                   
	Further down was another saw-mill, long since removed.  The water privi-
lege here was owned by the Hayes family in 1825, when the old mill-site is
stated to be half a mile above Col. Samuel Dudley's factory, which was at 
the chief falls in the Bellamy district.
