?i?From Bill McCullough (edited)?/i?
After their marriage in 1849, James and Jane lived with her brother George (then unmarried) in Oneida Township before moving to Egremont Township in Grey County with their young family in 1857. James by trade was a joiner which helped him build a large dam and water-powered grist mill at the confluence of the two branches of the Beatty-Saugeen River. Known as Dodds Mills, it is about 71/2 miles north of Mount Forest, on the east side of the road to Durham. He also built a house and barn of the west side across from the dam and mill. James and Janet farmed and ran the mill until the firm of Smith and Dodds formed, then moved to a new residence near Orchard Mill. Members of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, both were active in Church and community affairs.
