Keith,
Do you have the publications from the mills in Bethlehem, PA? I'm not
sure that they would suit your needs because they are largely as you
have described- mostly about the layout of the mill and the machinery.
Here's the only reference that I can get my hands on at the moment:
Murtagh, William J. 1998. Moravian Architecture and Town Planning:
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and Other Eighteenth-century American
Settlements. Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press.
I also have a few reports buried deep in my digital files of the
excavations of these mills (both the "oil" and the grist mill). Let me
know if you would like them and I will try to dredge them up.
Cheers,
Ben

It's a late eighteenth and early nineteenth century farm and mill complex but still might be of use to you.
