Notes for George Alewine:
The size and diversity of George's milling operation is not know, but a typical water wheel would be used for operating a grist mill, cotton gin, and saw mill all at the same site. When steam replaced water as the source of power, it is likely that the operation would continue at the same location since a steam engine also required a plentiful supply of water.

Whether the Taylors Lumber Co (Greenville Co., SC) ws an outgrowth of the milling operations of George and his father Joseph is not know. It was owned and operated by George's grandsons, sons of James Henry Alewine. The youngest, Walter F. Alewine, was president of the company until his retirement a few years before his death in 1992.
