K. Skinner & Son, Springfield, Ohio:The first flouring mill in the Greenfield area was constructed by John Kingerey in 1802. It was a crude affair, one story high and about thirty feet square. At first, he could grind only corn on the millstones, carved with great difficulty, but much skill, from two huge, native boulders. Very soon, by common demand, he made improvements and was able to produce a fair grade of wheat flour. The pioneer women, using Job Wright's hair sieve, were glad to be able to bake bread, "more like what we had at home." John Kingerey was assisted by Ben Kingerey who, despite the shortage of good men, chose to remain a bachelor.Kingerey continued to operate the mill until 1830, when he sold it to Samuel Smith, who owned a nearby tannery. Smith, interested in the Presbytery of Chillicothe, made several trips east to meetings in Philadelphia when the church was beginning to feel the growing pains of Abolitionism and of the "Secret Societies." He was also busy with the tan-yard, his leather business and a growing family. He placed Samuel Yohn in charge of the mill, with his wife "to look after the business while I'm gone."Samuel Yohn sold all his property in Perry County, PA in 1829 and appears on the 1830 tax rolls and census for Madison Twp., Highland County, Ohio in 1830.
