In the 1851 census, only his wife and children are there, Alvah having been called to another Methodist circuit. The mill was obtained by ?b?William Doran?/b?, who apparently added a grist mill - which eventually became the Village of Doran, with 40 or 50 people, comprising also a hotel and post office. The last shipment from the sawmill was in 1885, ~ 11 ~ Mills of the Tay Watershed and Area - Updated October 15, 2016
    when only one man remained - and it became a ghost hamlet.

    Presumably, this was the subject of an adv. in November 1862 by a John Doran, to let 'his grist mill in the Township of Bathurst, containing three run of stones, and one of the best Smut Machines in the Province - also his sawmill and two upright Saws, One edging saw and shingle machine. 'Both mills are new, well fitted up, and in good working order; and either or both will be leased to a respectable person.'xxiii In 1881, William Doran is still listed as owner of the sawmill, grist mill, hotel 'and several institutions'xxiv.
