In 1872 the Little Falls Knitting Mill Company was established on the north bank of the Mohawk River in a building, with water wheel for power, erected by Charles Bailey and Jeremiah Mitchell An obituary tells us that the original intention was to run a cloth mill, but they were persuaded by J J Gilbert, father of J J Gilbert junior, President of the Gilbert Knitting Company, to change the building into a knitting mill.^8,2,10

     Jeremiah Mitchell was born circa 1832. He was the son of Joseph Mitchell. Jeremiah Mitchell appeared on the census of 30 March 1851 in the household of cordwainer David Bailey at Hanging Heaton. Now this was also the occupation of his later brother-in-law and business partner Charles Bailey's father, Thomas, and there could well have been a family connection.¹

Jeremiah Mitchell married Isabella Senior, daughter of Squire Senior and Frances Hall, on 12 August 1852 at Bradford I thought perhaps I had made a mistake on this one, for Isabella wsa married as daughter of John Senior, a spinner. However, Like Squire's daughter this Isabella was born in June 1835 as is shown on a later American census. I can find no Isabella born to a John at that time, either in baptisms or in census recoerds. Squire Senior's daughter Isabella is not to be found in UK censuses after 1851, and I can find no alternative marriage or death recorded for her. Their first son was born in Clerk Green, where Squire Senior, listed as a spinner in 1851, and his wife were living. I think therefore that this was Squire's Isabella, aged 18, and that either the father's name was a mistake orthe marriage was a clandestine one.^2,3
