Do you know of Vinton's Mills ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Vinton's Mills. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Vinton's Mills.<1>

Our sources for Vinton's Mills (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Vinton's Mills other than they indicate that Vinton's Mills would be found somewhere in Hartford County, Connecticut.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1891 and closed  in 1905.
