Landmarks in Ancient Dover, New Hampshire by Mary P. Thompson, Durham, N.H. ©1892, Printed by the Republican Press Association, Concord, N.H. LANDMARK: Bellamy Falls and Mills NAMES: DUDLEY, Col. Samuel; WATSON, Daniel; RICHARDSON, Mr. Augustus The chief falls in the Bellamy district have been called by various names, according to the different owners of this water privilege. A complete account of their mills would occupy too much space for this work. Among them may be mentioned Dudley's, Watson's, Richardson's, and Hale's Mills. A saw-mill and grist mill stood here Aug 11, 1826, when the bridge between them, called Dudley's bridge, was swept away. This bridge was so named from Col. Samuel Dudley, who once had a mill on the south side for woollen cloths, carding, and machinery. He afterwards sold this factory to Daniel Watson, who converted it into a grist-mill. At a later day it was used for other purposes, and was finally acquired by Mr. Angustus Richardson toward the middle of this century. A grist-mill now stands here, owned by the proprietors of Sawyer's mills. PG 21-22 - Submitted by C.
