"George M. Morse built Powhatan Mill in 1872. It stands at the upper water privilege on the Quinebaug River in Putnam, about 1,000' upstream from the Morse family's 1846 cotton mill (at 241 Church Street). Hosea Ballou first developed this upper privilege in 1847, erecting a mill (since destroyed) on the west bank, opposite Powhatan. Morse ran 20,000 spindles for cotton manufacture here in 1884. The current occupant, Belding-Corticelli Thread Co., bought Powhatan in 1918. (Roth)" connecticutmills.org
