The pace <strong>of</strong> the carpenters’ work on the site was determined by the amount <strong>of</strong> lumber delivered to the <strong>University</strong><br />
for them. Wagon loads <strong>of</strong> plank from Gilmore’s, Garth’s, and Maury’s sawmills were hauled to the construction<br />
site regularly. These three mills were in Albemarle County. Gilmore’s Mill may be Gilmers Mill on Buck Island<br />
Creek which was operated by George C. Gilmer in the mid-nineteenth century. Garths Mill on Ivy Creek is<br />
sometimes called Gaths Mill. Reuben Maury’s mill, run by John Wheeler in 1814, was located on Moores Creek<br />
at Frys Spring.<br />
