Английская Википедия:George Peake (inventor)
George Peake (1722 – 1827) was an African American inventor who invented a hand mill for grinding grain.[1][2][3]
Life
Peake was born in Maryland in 1722, lived in Pennsylvania, and later, in 1809, settled in the area that became Cleveland, Ohio.[1][2] Peake bought a farm on the settlement's outskirts. He may have been the city's first African American resident. He reportedly fought with the British in the French and Indian War before deserting.[1][4][5]
Peake married a woman from Maryland and had four sons, two of whom came with him to Cleveland and two more that followed later.[1][2][4] Joseph Peake, a notable Cleveland farmer, was his son.[6]
Inventions
Peake invented a hand mill for grinding grain and corn.[1][2] His mill was found to be easier to use than a mortar and pestle.[1][2]
