• From Benson, 1786 map:

  

  1=Thompson's(Thicketty)
  2=Byce's Mill
  3=Hammett's Ford on Pacolet
  4=Wofford's Iron Works

  Byce's mill was in the forks of two streams, approximately 1/4 the distance from Thompson's(Thicketty) to Wofford's Iron Works. There are two such junctions of streams in this vicinity On Benson's map, the road from Thompson's went by Byce's Mill and continued to Hammett's Ford. Hammett's Ford was between modern Clifton and the junction of Lawson's Fork and Pacolet River.
