General Notes: Husband - Christian Breneman


In 1719, Martha, wife of Peter Bizaillon, an Indian trader, took up the tract of land near Ridgeville, a mile from the mouth of Conoy Creek. In 1739 it was conveyed to Christian Breneman, and in 1751 it became the property of his son, Melchoir Breneman, who erected on it a mill, which tradition says was built of logs, and replaced by another of the same kind some years later. In 1797, Jacob Breneman, the son of Melchoir, and Catherine, his wife, built the stone mill that now stands on the site of the old log mills. This subsequently underwent only ordinary repairs, and had four runs of stones.
