"Another of the early mills in Clinton County was Marlow mill, on Gross Creek in the northern part of the county. It was built by Mark Marlow, in the small community that became known after him as Marlow. Marlow was born around 1792, in North Carolina. He first appears in this area in a Cumberland (now Clinton -Ed) County survey dated in May, 1817. He is mentioned frequently in land records from that date until his death. He purchased 100 acres on the middle fork of Indian Creek on April 7, 1829. the tax record for Cumberland (now Clinton -Ed) County for 1832, shows Mark Marlow owning 700 acres of land, all of it being shown as on "Miller" creek, which was so-called because of the mill he built on it..."Early Times in Clinton Co., Jack Ferguson, p. 17
