Harvey Newlin (1888-1970) was a Quaker, renowned barn builder, and restorer of mills. His granddaughter, Katherine Newlin Hadley, has written about her grandfather in a paper shared on the Chatham County Historical Association website. The stories Katherine shares provide a rich history of an aspect of Chatham's (and surrounding counties') past that is not covered elsewhere.
