anhnals necessitating constant care on the part of mm kennedy to guard her children s safety amid such surroundings george kennedy built the first dwelling in what was to be known temporarily as hungry hollow but later about 1837 was to be named georgetown in honour of its founder this home was a log cabin and was situated on the flats near the present site of the ouclph street bridge they chose this particular location because of its proximity to spring water seventeen years after george kennedy had settled here there were but three families comprising the settlement and it a as not until 1840 that the first store was opened mr kennedy took up two hundred acres of land from the crown bor dering on the check line on the south and extending from the ninth line on the east to the eighth line on the west a portion of this land he clear ed and farmed but at the same time turned his energies towards a more definite means of establishing a com munity he built a grist mill on mill street which was operated from a flume which at one time crossed the street a grist mill was a neces sity hence settlers came from miles around bringing their grain to be ground as often the distance to this mill was more than a days jour ney the kennedys home was open to all at all times then too in con nection with the grist mill mr kennedy operated a sawmill later he erected a foundry also it was from mr kennedy that the barber brothers purchased the land where they later built their mill although george kennedy was keenly a ve t business he did not neglect hi wifes interests and built for her as her future home the first brick house in georgetown situated on the north side of mill street near main this cottage still stands as does also the second brick house built by mr ken ledy
