Text of marker: "TERRY'S MILL POND. The flat area S. was the bed of Terry's mill pond - the impounded waters of Sugar Cr. Tom Terry (1823-1861) operated the grist mill that stood 800 yds. downstream. It was burned by Federal troops July 29, 1864, & was rebuilt and operated some years after the war. The considerable area of the pond made it a notable landmark in the 1850's - 1860's, & further prominence attached because it is cited in military annals recording the movements of Walker's & Bate's divs., Hardee's corps, [CSA] to the battlefield of July 22, 1864, which indicate that Gen. Walker was killed near the upper end of the mill pond. 044-52 GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1956" - External Identifiers:
