Biographical history
George Andrew Gatenby (1846- 1870) was the grandson of Andrew Gatenby (1771-1848) of Barton Mill and son of William Gatenby (1809-1855) and Elizabeth (Towart) . In 1825 the Gatenbys erected a substantial flour-mill, using millstones they had brought with them to the colony, and cut a canal and banked a reservoir to supply the mill with water from the Isis River. This mill served the surrounding district for fifty years.
