About 300 feet northwest stood the antebellum and postbellum grist mill owned and operated by Greenville Henderson (1792-1869) and his son Rufus (1823-1872). The flat land to the left and right of this road was the mill pond area, and the mill was demolished in 1911. During the march of the Federal Army of the Tennessee from Roswell to Decatur, Logan’s 15th A.C. detoured from Shallow Ford Road at Rainey’s and moved to Browning’s Court House (Tucker) to support Garrard’s foray on the Georgia Railroad. For strategic reasons, and because of a lack of water at Browning’s, the corps withdrew here and camped on the night of July 18, 1864, then resumed its march to Decatur the next day.
