Henry Dobell, the grandfather of Philip Dobell was the first operate of the Cranbrook Union Mill. Many of the published histories will tell you that Mary Dobell was his widow. This is not true Mary was his mother and the first owner of the mill. Due to financial difficulties largely the result of Jesse Dobell, Mary's eldest son, she was forced to sell the mill in 1819.
