• Occupation*: 1849; Mill Brook or Adirondack, Warren Co., New York, USA; Mill Brook or Adirondack. — This hamlet can trace its origin back to about
  1850. In 1849, when Benjamin T. Wells, father of J. F. and Thomas Wells,
  came to the site from the south part of the town, the place was, as J. F. Wells
  says, a dismal wilderness. There were no roads nor buildings here. Benja-
  min T. Wells erected the first tannery on the site of the present establishment,
  and so fast did the community grow that in five years it had attained almost
  its present proportions. The old road to Chester had not been extended to
  Mill Brook until about 1851. The road connecting this place with Potters-
  ville was constructed about 1875.³
