	History Of Hancock County
	History Of Hancock County Chicago: Warner, Beers & Co. 1886 Chapter XXVIII, pg 542 John C. Wickham, his wife, Barbara, son Minor T. and daughter, Lucy, came from Ross County, Ohio, in the spring of 1827, his son, William, coming out a few years afterward. Wickham built a cabin on east Main Cross Street, and in the winter of 1827-28, taught school in the old hewed-log schoolhouse, erected the former year on the northwest corner of East and Crawford Streets. In October, 1828, he was elected sheriff, and served two years; and he was also postmaster of Findlay, from July, 1829 to June, 1831, being the second postmaster of the village. In 1832 his son William located in Blanchard Township, and the next year the parents and Minor T. also removed to that subdivision. The daughter, Lucy, married James McKinnis. Mr. Wickham taught school there, and in 1835 was elected justice of the peace, but died soon after, while on a business trip to Wayne County, Ohio. Chapter XXXII, pg 617 The old log grist and saw-mill, built under the supervision of Wilson Vance, by Vance &. Cory, in 1824. was the first manufacturing establishment erected in the county. These mills stood on the site of the present Carlin flouring-mill north of the river, and were a great blessing to the first settlers. As there has been some difference of opinion as to the year these mills were built, we herewith append the evidence of Mrs. Elizabeth Eberly (daughter of Benjamin J. Cox) and Job Chamberlin, the only pioneers now living who have any personal knowledge of the circumstance. "We removed," says Mrs. Eberly, "from Fort Findlay to the Maumee in 1823. and the mill had not yet been commenced, but was built the year after we left. The race. however, was dug out while we were there, but that is as far as the work progressed prior to our removal." Mr. Chamberlin, who came in February, 1822, agrees with the statement of Mrs. Eberly, and in his " Personal Reminiscences," written in 1874, gives the following account of the building of the mill: "Father had brought floor and meal enough to supply his family one year. Hon. Joseph Vance had promised to erect a mill the next season, but it was not until about two years and a half afterward that Messrs. Vance & Cory, the original proprietors of Findlay. built a little log mill about the place where Carlin's mill now stands." These statements world make the year 1824 as the date the old mills were erected. In 1828 James McKinnis and Reuben Hale rented the mills of Vance & Cory, and ran them about a year. Early in 1834 they were bought by John Campbell, together with fifteen acres of land. In the tax list of that year the mills are valued at $900. Campbell tore down the old log building in the winter of 1834-35 and erected a frame mill, which he ran till the spring of 1837, when the property was purchased by S. & P. Carlin. Several years afterward the Carlins rebuilt the mills, and they have been rebuilt once more since that time, making the present mill the fourth one on that site. The saw-mill was operated up to within a few years ago.
