William Hunter built the mill in circa 1812, and his son David remodeled and enlarged it in 1827.

One of the millers at Hunter's Mill/Webster's Mills was Vandall Stouteagle. He was born in Ayr Township in 1818 and probably by his late teens, learned the milling trade under Andrew Fox at Webster Mills. He continued in the milling occupation for many years.

Edward Stouteagle learned the miller's trade with his father at Webster's Mills and also farmed one hundred and five acres.

The settlement became known as Webster's Mills and consisted of the flour mill, a store, a post office, a Dr's. office, a blacksmith shop, a wagonmaker's shop, a school house and a stone church.

The 1812 mill was the first such mill in this area of the county; it being one & a half stories in height and powered by a twenty foot overshot waterwheel.

William left the mill to his son, David, who added another story & a half, turned the mill from facing west to east, and also changed the road to again run in front of the mill.

When I took this photograph all of the flour making machinery (millstones, crane, roller mills, etc.) were still in place covered under layers of dust and cobwebs on the interior of this side of the mill.

William Hunter had two other flour mills in the McConnellsburg area and possibly a woolen mill.
