The northern border was &ndash; well, there <em>was</em> no northern border, per se, as this area was still part of Penn&rsquo;s Colony, generally referred to as &rsquo;the lower counties.&quot; Christiana Creek, Brandywine Creek and Red Clay Creek were the other boundaries. His descendants built a stone grist-mill somewhere south of Centerville, Delaware, on what became known as Dixon’s Run. In 1804 it was listed as owned by a William Dixon. As of 1888 it was still standing and although a “very aged structure” it was still in use by the Edwin Griffith estate.</p>
