Biography:

1. John Blackbee was employed as a Millman and paid 2/3d per day (Supply 5/226 dated the 18th June 1807). According to an entry on Supply 5/227 dated the 23rd August 1808, he was still a Millman earning earning the same, but "allowed 6d per night when on duty." 2. On the 6th October 1808, John was spreading a green charge when No. 6 Horse Mill exploded at 11.15 p.m. He received burns to his face, which, although not severe, caused him to be on the sick list from the 6th October to the 24th November that year. There was little damage to the Mill, although one horse had its mane singed. No blame was attached to Blackbee. (Supply 5/227 dated the 7th October 1808). 3. Blackbee was still a Millman in 1810, with a night allowance of 6d. 4. List of Employees dated the 29th August 1812 (Supply 5/229) confirmed that Mr. Blackbee was still a Millman, but that he then earned 3/-d per day, in addition to which, he was allowed 6d per night when on duty. He was still a Millman on the 13th February 1814, with the same rate of pay and additional 6d per night when on duty (Supply 5/230).
