1876 map of the village of Cary, from the Atlas of Genesee County, by Everts, Ensign & Everts, Philadelphia PA. Unfortunately, I do not have access to a legend corresponding to the numbered properties, which would give us more information about the era. Note the large mill pond in the upper right, source of water power for the grain and plaster mills of Calvin Nobles. Mr. Nobles could access his pond either from Drake St. or from what we now know as Mill St. The pond and mills are gone today.
