I have checked the map which you refer to in your letter but have not been able to obtain any information on the mill on six Mile Creek. In my opinion, the name shown on the map "Rickerts Mills." is "Pickerl's Mills" rathw than ,:;:.--;"•. I ' 'Ihe Asses srrent Rolls of Bertie Tp. contain several references to the Decue fcmily who apparently operated various mills in the municipality. The 1871 Assessment Roll of Bertie Tp. lists Frederick and Robert Decue as millers residing at the ''mill 'site" on part of Lot 16. No specific concession is indicated. Unfortunately this vague description of the location of the mill site is consistently repeated in subsequent Assessrnent Rolls. Perhaps the term "mill site" referred to one specific well-known mill site in·the TcMnship and consequently the Assessor assumed that a more precise description was unnecessary. The 1871 Assessrrent Roll also lists Israel and Cyrus Decue as millwrights living on the west part of Lot 16, Con. 14 N.R. The 187 2 Assessment Roll describes Israel and Cyrus Decue as millowners. The 1873 Assessment Roll indicates that Frederick Becue and William Decue were operating the mill on the "mill site" ttnpart of lot �6. The 1875 Assessment Roll lists Frederick, William E -and Robert Decue as miller s operating a mill on part of I.ct 15, Con. 5 N.R The 1880 Assessment Roll indicates that Frederick Decue was the sole operator of the mill on Pt. of I.ct 15, Con. 5 N.R The same Assessment Roll indicates that Israel and Cyrus Decue were still operating a mill on E. •. • • lot 16, Con. 14 N.R • • • • I :OOpe that this infonnation will be of some value to you in your research • • Yours very truly, Alex Ross Archivist � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
