John Haymaker

John Haymaker

John Haymaker was an early settler of Ohio and the founder of what later became the villages of Carthage and Franklin Mills, which collectively became known as Kent.

Haymaker and his family moved west from Pittsburgh to Franklin Township in the Western Reserve on the banks of the Cuyahoga River in December of 1805, shortly after Ohio had become a state. Haymaker built a gristmill to take advantage of a nearby waterfall. He sold the mill and some of the surrounding land to George B. Depeyster and William H. Price, who helped develop the villages of Carthage in the north and Franklin Mills in the south.
