Circa 1800 a mile up river from Bronson Mill and 1/2 mile west of Kensington Congregational Church he owned a grist mill and cording mill, known as Winchell's Grist Mill. It was in use until late 1700's; a was cording mill connected with it. At first ground corn and other grains for vicinity farms and then prepared kiln-dried meal for the West India Market. Sometimes known as Winchell's Mill and sometimes Percival because Dr. Percival owned half. Roswell Moore bought Percival's half in 1817 for 250 pounds. Burned a few years later and rebuilt to mill for custom work; a kiln-dried and oil mill was added. Kiln-dried was sent to Middletown or New Haven by teams and then shipped to the West Indies. Linseed oil was made from flax raised in this vicinity. The half century the mill was in the Moore family it was known as Moore's Mill. On the south side of the stream a sawmill was bought in 1831 and destroyed in 1865. That year Moore's Grist Mill and privilege was sold to Hart Bliven & Mead Company.
