Is the spelling correct?  Because Udall is an old name here in Suffolk
County although, I don't know of a mill specifically or a place named that.

Subject: Yewdall's Mill


A resident of my town has asked me if Yewdall's Mill, featured in the folk
song, "The Girl From Yewdall's Mill," was real or fictitious.  The canal
song also mentions Fairmount and Phoenixville and Ginea Hill.  French's
Gazetteer lists Fairmount as a canal stop in the town of Camillus in
Onondaga County.  Phoenixville may be Phoenix in the town of Schroeppel in
Oswego County.  Neither French's nor Spafford's refer to Yewdall's Mill.
Does anyone have any knowledge of this place?
