-Neither of the recorded Sandymans were well-liked in Hobbiton, but the younger, [[Ted Sandyman]], went so far as to fall in with [[Lotho Sackville-Baggins]] during the [[War of the Ring]]. He sold the Mill to Lotho (known at that time simply as "The Boss"), who knocked it down and replaced it with an ugly brick building.
