Rorer's Harpen Creek Mill Rudolph Rorer received title to this forty-one acres as a gift. The Rorers were millers and Abraham Sr. and Abraham Jr. both owned sawmills in the county. The elder was a son-in-law of Harmon Cook, who owned at least two mills. Cook built one of these on Tomahawk Creek, and the other he bought from George Jefferson on Turkey Cock Creek.
