Grist mills were important to residents of the growing County.  Owners of mills were required to petition the County Court for permission to establish a mill, whether it was for public or private use.  Often, owners of grist mills also had distilleries on-site.  The Dumplin Mill may have been in operation before Jefferson County was established.

Early grist mills included the following:
