    Are there any records of employees, apprentices, owners or partners for this mill?

    Could the Ivey Bridge Mill in PA, USA, owned byThomas Willcox be connected?

    Hi
    Not sure if you are refering to the correct mill here. Devon Valley is north of Exeter and is still running, Ivybridge Stowford Mill (Ivybridge) was north of Plymouth.

    I have put some information about the link between Ivybridge Mill in the UK and Ivy Mill in Pennsyvania on that forum branch.

    Ivybridge Heritage & Archives Group have the mill archives of that mill. There people I can contact within BAPH to see if there are similar archive for Devon Valley.
