In lul6 tbey built an inn of stone, a barn
1G0 feet long, an oil uiill, a dyer's shop,
a tannery, and . cleared, .400 acres. In
1307 they erected a brick storehouse, a
saw mill, and brewery, cleared 400 acres,
of laud more, and planted a vineyard of
four acres..Thcy continued to build eve

Their wealth tlowcd in upon them, and
their numbers increased with -their

consequence was that Owen', village
