1703
'Eleazer Burnham was recognized as a resident of Norwich in 1703. In 1704, he applied for liberty to set up a fulling mill upon the stream that runs into the Shetucket River near Medical Springs. Thirty acres of ground was granted to him to encourage the undertaking, and more land promised if successful. The project failed, as competent workmen in this branch of business were scarce in the country. Before 1710 there was but one clothier in the whole colony of Connecticut.'
