Historical note:
Alanson Thayer (ca. 1800-1868) was involved in cotton manufacturing from as early as 1857, and apparently founded the Lebanon Mill Co. in Pawtucket around 1867. His descendants owned the mill jointly for many years. It was incorporated in 1896. In 1925, longtime president Simon Willard Thayer died, and control passed to his brothers Edward and Alanson. In 1931, Emil Potter of New York joined on as a director and selling agent, and the business was reincorporated in the state of Delaware as Lebanon Knitting Mill, Inc. Leo Grossman of the Hope Milling Co. assumed full control of Lebanon from the Thayer family in 1936, and the business was operated by the Grossman family until at least 1977, when it ceased to appear in the Pawtucket city directory. The mill was originally located at 10 Front Street, and soon after the purchase by Grossman was moved to 721 School Street.
Children(by first marriage): Albert Thayer, Amanda Thayer, Alanson Thayer Jr, and Sarah Thayer.
Children(by second marriage):Sabra Thayer, Ellen Thayer, Henry Thayer, Ellen Maria Thayer, Edward Thayer, and Maria Louisa Thayer.
