Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the Knaggs Family of Ohio and Michigan: Historical, Biographical and Genealogical
About 1815, just after the close of the war, Whitmore Kn'aggs built a wind mill in front of his farm. On a point or small cape thlat projected -a short distance into the Detroit river. The miller was a Frenchman named Soiea who was kept pretty busy grinding the corn, wheat, buckwheat and other grain of the neighboring farmers. The mill was torn down in 1858. There were about a dozen other windmills on both sides of the river. Forming picturesque features in the landscape. But the gradual introduction of steam drove them all out of existence before the war of the rebellion.
