I dont know about the Mill or a lithograph, but I did at one time
have a copy of
the newpaper article that explained in detail the events
surrounding the murder
of a Samuel Carman in Long Island in the early to mid 1800's. This
Samuel Carman
was an older man, and was beaten with a "club" or bat, and left for
dead on the
highway near the toll house, which I believe he was guarding but not sure at
this time...its been about 10 years since I've seen the article. David

In the 1800's Daniel Webster pulled a 14 lb.
trout out of Carman's mill stream in Brookhaven, this is immortalized in a
Currier and Ives Lithograph.
The mill was supposed to be located just north of the bridge over
the river
on the Montauk Highway. It was in a pool below this mill that
Daniel Webster
caught the fish.
To the west of the mill was the old tavern which Samuel Carman
ran. This was
a regular
stopping place for the weekly stage between Brooklyn and East
Hampton.There
was also a general store and church nearby. The old mill was torn
down in
1958 to make way for the extension of Sunrise Highway.
Does anyone remember this Mill ?
Would you know if there were any newspaper articles written about
it
