------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Regarding Margaret Olson's message about James Cole and The Great Migration information on his origins: ------- Date: Sat, 11 Jul 1998 10:07:00 -0500 (CDT) From: Margaret Olson <olson@shout.net> To: COLE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: James COLE of Plymouth, MA <snip> James COLE's origins are given as Barnstaple, Devonshire. His marriage is given as 1 May 1625 to Mary Tibbes [ref Thomas Wainwright, ed. Barnstaple Parish Registers of Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538 AD to 1812 AD (Exeter 1903)]. Mary died after Mar 1659/60 [Plymouth Colony Records 3:181]. The births of sons James and Hugh are on pages 68 and 70 respectively of the Barnstaple Parish Registers. <snip> Margaret Edmondson Olson granddaughter of Lucy May COLE Russell of New York City and Princeton, NJ. Lucy May's Cole ancestors were mostly from the Swansea/Bristol RI area. ------- Margaret: What is Lucy May Cole's line? In 1995, a researcher told me about the Barnstaple discovery. He did not mention the Migration book, nor had I seen it. He implied that he had hired a researcher in England, who discovered this info. This was the first I'd heard of the Barnstaple connection, although for years I had disbelieved the Mary Lobel story and had intended to put a detailed proof in the book that Mary Lobel was not the wife of James Cole. Coincidentally, I had a trip to England planned in August 1995, right after getting this info. I therefore visited the Devon Record Office in Exeter and got copies of the actual old entries for the marriage of James Cole and Mary Tibbes (also spelled Tibbs and Tybbs in the records) and various other records. They include the birth records for James and Hugh as well as data on Mary's family. I took with me to Barnstaple the notes from the researcher who first sent me this info. He had transcribed the original records, which are very hard to read. This transcription allowed me to easily find the records and make copies of the pages. James Coale married Mary Tibbes in Barnstaple 8 [not 1] May 1625 James, son of James Coale, was bapt. in Barnstaple 11 Feb 1626/7 Hugh, son of James Coales, was bapt. in Barnstaple 29 June 1628--this record is particularly hard to read. Mary was baptised in Barnstaple on 15 June 1598, the daughter of John Tybbs John Tibbs married Margarett Harris married in Barnstaple on 11 Oct 1593 They had 9 children (except for Mary's, I did not copy these records--these names and dates are from the researcher's notes): Nychole (female) bapt. 29 Aug 1594 Julian bapt. 14 March 1597 Marye bapt 15 June 1598 Francis bapt 25 Jan 1600 Roger bapt. 27 Feb 1602 William bapt. 14 Apr 1603 George bapt. 25 Sept 1604 Christian (female) bapt. 3 Aug 1607 Robert bapt 30 Apr 1609 Margaret was baptised in Barnstaple 11 May 1573, the daughter of Thomas Harris Thomas Harrys married Alse Thorne in Barnstaple on 10 Nov 1572 (these old records are very hard to read). They had at least 8 children in Barnstaple (except for Margaret's, I did not copy these records--these names and dates are from the researcher's notes): Margaret bapt. 11 May 1573 Agnes bapt. 15 Oct 1575 Dewnes (female) bapt. 23 Aug 1579 Johan (female, Joan?) bapt. 7 March 1585 James bapt. 5 May 1586 Elizabeth bapt. 2 May 1587 William bapt. 2 May 1590 Duens (female) bapt. 17 Nov 1591 I'll send more info later. --Pam Thompson ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parents: John TIBBES and Margaret HARRIS.

at Long's Mill and Gossett's Mill by Edmund Wyatt Tratebas LONG'S MILL (Later, Tratebas Mill) This Mill is located in Jackson Township on Tratebas Road, off Highway 49 near Chesterton, Indiana. John Tratebas, Jr. purchased this mill from a Mr. Rolfe, around 1919. Mr Rolfe was ill at the time. The Tratebas family set up beds and cooking facilities in the S.E. corner of the mill and lived there a short time until Mr. Rolfe was well enough to move. Then they moved into the house next to the mill. Coffee Creek feeds into the lake by the mill on the south side and goes north to Chesterton. The mill has three stories and a basement. Power was supplied by two turbines and two shafts went a good distance to the mill. Belts on pulleys took this power three stories up. There were two large levers at the west end of the mill near the windows. If you pulled back, this pulled long wooden shafts to the water wheelhouse and this opened up passageways where water went down through the turbine to give power to iron shafts and the operation of pulleys. The shaft on the south side coming from the water wheel house to the mill furnished all the power for the machinery to make flour from wheat and rye grains. The farmer would bring wheat to the east entrance of the mill and it would be placed in a bin. When ready to produce flour, the wheat was placed in a hopper which controlled the flow of wheat to a machine in the basement called a separator. Here the wheat was shaken so wheat could fall through little holes to another level. In this space, wind from a blower was driven through to blow out the chaff. The wheat passed then into an elevator which lifted it to the first floor and here fed through steel rollers where the wheat was crushed. At this stage flour could be taken for 100% whole wheat -- all bran, heart (middlings). From here it moved on to a machine that separated out the bran and middlings. The bran was placed in a separate bin near the south side of the mill on the first floor by the door. This bran was sold to farmers for livestock. The mid-dlings (which we know now contained wheat germ) was sent through another bin on the first floor positioned toward the N.E. corner of the 1st floor -- just to that part of the center of the floor. This also was sold to farmers for the hogs. This was the era of patent flour and housewives wanted pure white flour After bran and middlings were separated, white flour was sent to the third floor and dumped in bins that sent the flour into machines on the second floor that we called bolts. This machine had a long cylindrically-shaped center with a center shaft -- more like a hexagonal shape. Over this structure was stretched silk screens. The white flour sifted through the screens and came down to the first floor bins in the form of a very fine white flour. This flour was packaged in bags for cake flour. The mill advertised during this period the production of flour, wheat graham flour, rye flour and rye graham flour. About 1921 John Tratebas purchased the "Plantation" brand recipes and machinery from the McMahan Company of Valparaiso and moved this equipment to his mill on Tratebas Road. This purchase gave him the right to the brand name and he now offered many more products such as Plantation Pancake Flour, Plantation Self-Rising Buckwheat Flour, Plantation Pastry Flour, Plantation Graham Flour (Buhr Ground), Plantation Rye Flour, Plantation Whole Wheat Flour, Plantation Buckwheat Flour, and Buckwheat Flour Buhr Ground, Plantation Bohemian Style Wheat and Rye, Plantation Cornmeal, and Plantation Rye Graham (Buhr Ground). The McMahan machinery was placed in the center of the first floor of the mill. One machine was a packaging machine for 1 lb. size packages. There was also a small hand-operated mechanism set up next to the middling bin where flour was put in 5, 10, 25, and 50 lb. bags. With the purchase of this milling company and the Plantation Brand name some changes were made in the use of middlings. These now became the primary ingredients of pancake flour. Some of the formulas given to John Tratebas from McMahan were for the mixing of ingredients into the cake and pancake flour which caused them to rise. One ingredient that his son Edmund remembers his dad speaking about was referred to as phos-phate. In the late 1960's when Edmund was visiting his father in Massachusetts, his father said he still had the formulas memo-rized and in his head. Unfortunately he died later without imparting this knowledge to anyone. The formula did a great job of making cakes rise and made their texture soft and light and very tasty. Getting back to a description of the layout of the mill there was a shaft on the north side of the water wheel house and mill and when moved by a lever on that side, it allowed water to enter the turbine on this side which sent power into equipment in basement and upper floors. Pulleys and belts transferred power to the first floor which ran two machines. One was a grinder to grind grains for the farmer to feed livestock. Generally the farmer brought corn but other grains could be sent through, making a rough meal. Some farmers left corn on the cobs and wanted the cob ground with the corn. Originally grain was carried from the south or east side of the mill's first floor by hand truck to this machine and dumped into the machine by hand and hand trucked back to the wagon or truck. Some time later an easier method of getting grain to the machine was developed near a window on the south side on the first floor. A hole was cut in the floor and a hopper installed in the basement under the hole. Farmers would drive up to the window and pitch the grain through the window into the hopper along a long trough to an elevator which lifted grain to the first floor and the grinding machine -- this saved the trouble of all the former physical labor of this process. If the farmer wanted he could have it bagged or returned in bulk to his wagon or truck. important machine taking power from the north shaft was the Milling Stone. One stone was round and fixed stationary in the north west corner of the building. Above it was another mill stone which was raised and lowered onto that stone. This stone was fixed on a shaft which made the stone rotate. A hole in the center of the stone allowed the grain to be poured into this equipment. The grain was then ground for corn, wheat and rye meal, whole wheat or rye flours. When wheat was prepared for grinding into flour, water had to be dripped into it before it hit the first rollers. It was John's little boy, Edmund's, responsibility to carry pails of water to the second floor to be used for this purpose. There were no handrails on the stairways and as Edmund recalls, he remembers doing this as early as five years of age. The top of the stairway on the second floor had a loose board which slowly worked away from the edge. One day his foot went through, and he lost his balance and fell downstairs -- the pails of water splashing over him and the stairway. When he landed on the first floor, he was covered with flour and water. He cried loudly and was carried to the house (of course crying all the way). After they washed him and checked him over for broken bones, etc., though not seriously hurt, he had some bruises for quite some time. The loose board was promptly nailed down, but no stair rail added. Edmund recalls often shelling the corn that the farmers brought in by running it through the sheller by the hand crank method. Another job he had was to carry cobs to the house to be used as "kindling wood." As he became older he also worked at filling the bags of flour and fastening them shut with small wires. Also the mill had to be swept out from time to time to clear excess dust. He did these tasks until he was about eleven years of age. In later years Edmund said one reason he was asked to work in the mill besides accomplishing some necessary jobs that he could handle, was for company to his father. Accidents can happen, and his father often did the work with no other help. Occasionally a brother-in-law helped at the mill (Oliver and Carroll Barber). However, one needed to be careful who helped in the mill because smoking was not allowed for fear of explosions. The water wheel was installed later for decorative purposes, but water came through a flume under the road and into the water wheel house, when the mill was in actual use. GOSSETT'S MILL This was located in Liberty Township on Salt Creek. John Tratebas Sr. operated this mill for several years from about the turn of the century and this is where John, Jr. became familiar with the operation of a mill. There was a lake on the south side of the road and the house was on the south side on a high area. Right near the road was a beach where it was easy to get in the water and swim. The mill was located on the north side of Rob-bins Road and had at least two stories plus a basement. Power came from a turbine or water wheel on the east side of the mill. After John and Sarah Tratebas died in 1918 and 1917, the mill operated for only a few years. The mill decayed, the lake was drained and the land sold. The farmers used this area for raising corn. The soil was excellent because Salt Creek had been used by Valparaiso for sewage disposal and after the lake was drained, excellent crops were raised here.
