Those primeval necessities, a grist mill and saw mill, were first located in 1787-8 by Jonathan Eastman, on Ran kin's brook, near the present site of the saw mill and grist mill at Patten ville. They were soon purchased by James Rankin, a thrifty Scotchman, and later successfully operated nearly half a century by his son, Gen. David Rankin. The second saw mill was lo cated at North Littleton, and. The third near the present mill of the Littleton Lumber Co. The second grist mill, and the one which has been the main reliance of the town for almost a cen tury, was built by Solomon Mann, in 1799. It has been renovated and re paired until very little is left of the original mill, and is now operated by James Brown.
