Historical Inventions of George Roberts (1768?-1830)

1. Discovery of North America – George trekked across the arctic in an ice crossing from Northern England to New Found Land (1802-1803?): In the absence of carbon dateable evidence of boats previous to 1805, this appears to be the most logical conclusion. The invention of the bow and arrow by George in 1768 led to plentiful enough fleece attached lamb skins for world’s first long pants, boots, and parka construction, for a winter Arctic crossing. George invented methods for east west long distance navigation using the sun and the moon shortly before his extremely brave crossing of the winter ice fields. George likely crossed with his Collie dog, a direct ancestor of Lassie. A road in St. Claire County was named after him for his incredible feat. It’s called Norman Road, “Man from the North”, running east and west just a half a mile north of one of the two world’s first original 1807 three log cabin settlements one located along the west side of Black River. Many persons would argue that fabled explorers such as Columbus, Louis and Clarke, De Soto, Cortez, and Magellan, actually discovered and explored the world however the reality is, the first world's first two boats were constructed by George and the second two were constructed by George and the local American Indians all at 10th and Military St. in Port Huron all long after there these explorers impossible fabled voyages and suposed discoveries. George brought the Indians north to Port Huron with him beginning in 1807, George was the first white man into the Americas. The northern latitudes were to cold for winter occupation without shelter for the indians and to distant from temperate regions for summer occupation. The reality is that as with patent claims, land discovery claims, were awarded to the earliest discoverer thereby awarding financial claim to fraudulent individuals and their countries of origin. The United States dominated actual world exploration and claims due to George’s marine advancements and fought the Spanish American war with Spain to recover falsely claimed land by Spain, in 1898, including the countries of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippine Islands. In 1819, George also discovered China, Japan, South America, and Australia. Many credit Drake as being the first discoverer of many island countries, however, George was actually the first to discover them in 1819. World exploration ship building began with George’s 150 ft. (still U.S. Navy Frigate Class size), in 1819 at the cove south of Reid Ave. on the river side of Military St. in Port Huron. The ship is still sunk in at the location where it was built the cove right next to it is the marabella. I am not certain at what point George lost the construction secrets to the steam engine and boat, likely 1826-1829. The world's first 25-30 ft. boats, one being steam powered and one being oar powered built in 1806-7 Then his 80 ft. and 100 ft. vessels, the Marbella, the World’s First Tall Sailing Ship (1810) and the 100 ft. steamed powered Big Fire Canoe (1811)that was the World's First Immigration Vessel and began bringing the world’s first settlers to North America and his 1819 150 ft. ship led world mapping and exploration and may have given way to uncontrolled boat building by 1829, the year of his murder, since he may of lost the integrity of the immigrants coming to America. At this point He discovered the South American continent in 1819. George returned to England in 1812 to pick up the first boat load settlers to come to America taking them to fort myers fla then came north to port huron up the mississppi river. It’s likely that George established most european cities near water with his inventions in 1812-1819 Southern and coastral temperate region were inhabited sparcley and areas inland in northern non-temperate regions became habitable and populations thrived using the inventions He established Belgium 1812-1819 according to the Belgians. George married the Queen of Belgium in 1819. He was the High Son of King George II. The first skirmish between nations was 1860 between Canada and the United States. It began with the sinking of George’s boat, the Marbella, with Isaiah on board at the St. Claire River headwater. Apparently the incident just soured attitudes leading to the Civil War. There was no War of 1812 or Revolutionary War. These were fictitious stories were fabricated by patent thieves, anti-royals, anarchists, and ingrates. Clearly Columbus Day should be changed to High Federals Day for his or Isaiah’s invention of United State Federalism in 1830. The United States Constitution that was or is in front of the Lincoln Memorial was likely established in Port Huron at the Old Gold dome Federal Building that was torn down to make way for the New Federal Building. The new Constitution discovered in the late 1950's may have been discovered by Attorney Louiselle's family. I remember speaking into a tape recorder at their house. We have dated the terminology constitution and congress as far back 1833 in a dictionary. Philadelphia was not established until 1850 as was Detroit.
   
   
2. Ships 250 ft. Cruiser Class (1826-1829): Construction of these ships possibly began at the Old Beanery located just north of Black River on the St. Claire River where the present Port Huron Sewage Treatment Plant exists. The size of the construction bay at this facility leads me to believe that it was used for large ship construction. The completion of the Erie Canal in 1826 helps to enforce this theory. Also the beginning of regular scheduled ship service to Port Huron in 1829 also helps to reinforce the theory.
   
   
3. Invention of the City: Invented at the N.W. corner of 4th and Court St., Port Huron, MI. Multi-story concrete, steel, and brick and mortar, construction started in 1829 by George and Isaiah Roberts. This was the year that George and his wife were murdered by a gang of individuals wishing to steal intellectual material and take over businesses.
   
   
4. Invention of Brick Paved Streets: Invented at the N.W corner of 4th and Court St., Port Huron, MI
   
   
5. The invention Brick and Mortar Building Construction. The world’s first brick and mortar building was located at the NW corner of 4th and Court St. It was also the establishment of the court house, law and order, and incarceration. The invention of the Brick occurred at the south west corner of 4th and Court St., in Port Huron, MI. This was the world’s first brick works. George Roberts was the World’s First Mason.
   
   
6. Saw Mill World's First Steamed Powered and the invention of the wheel(1806-1807): Invented, setup, and operated, at the beginning of George Roberts’ three house settlement at 10th and Military St., Port Huron, MI. This mill cut the first square cut logs for the World's First Stacked Log Cabin Three House Settlement. Mud was used to fill the gaps. Sawdust in the back yard may be several feet thick. This mill was probably transported by boat in 1807 to cut the lumber for George’s other three house settlement located north of Mill Creek along the Black River on the west side and his intersanctuary house and barn 1/4 mile west of the intersection of Grahm and Roberts 1807-1819. This saw was also used to cut railroad ties for the world’s first railroad that extended from George’s settlement at 10th and military st. about 2 miles north to 1/2 block east of the intersection of 4th and Court St. This mill also sawed lumber for the world’s first boats and steam powered boats. These houses were originally constructed by sawing logs approximately into 12” by 12” square shapes then stacking them into a square house leaving 12” gaps between each sawed log to be filled with mud. It was also used to create an additional single structure at the black river settlement that had no roof and no mud filling this structure was 1/4 mile north of Norman rd along black river. This was likely constructed as a land claim to one square mile along the river valley, just north of Norman Road, a 3/4 of a mile north of these three cabins located about a half a mile north of the intersection of Black River and Mill Creek this likley was a claim for georges son isiah. This saw mill was used beginning in 1825 to create a board sawed lumber structure which was the Old Seaway Terminal, Port Huron, MIthe foundation of wich is still visable today. This saw ended up at the Robert's Farm at grahm and Roberts Road in order to saw the lumber for the Robert's Ogelby house and for 1819 buckboard then 1840 Conestoga Wagons. This saw mill was equiped with wheels may have been the actual first invention of the wheel predating the first railroad engine drive wheels. The saw mill was personally viewed by me in the mid 1960s on trips to the family farm. This saw mill also sawed the lumber for the Hillman/Roberts house and the worlds first barn in 1819. This machine was later transferred to the site of the Old Seaway Terminal to saw lumber for it also an early barn worlds first machine shop machine shop was started between 1819 and 1822.
   
   
7. Mechanical Engine Steam (1805-1807) It was invented at 10th and Military St. where the two boats were pushed out of the world’s first boat houses and drifted back and sunk in the early 1950s. Port Huron Historical Museum received a malleable iron double pin hatch ring and world’s first metal ball in the mid 1960s. They remembered the contribution of the artifacts however they traded them in for a few pennies in scrap metal.
   
   
8. World's First Steam Engine Driven Boat (1806-1807): This boat was book reported as spotted in the Hudson River being piloted by Fulton or George. We feel this is erronious because of the nessity of portaging stony creeks 30 ft. waterfalls and to swift of a current in the river for upstream travel or even downstrean,there was no erie canal until 1826 all boat traffic went up the mississippi. The boat was invented and built at George Robert's house at 10th and Military St.,Port Huron, MI. The boat sank and was intentionally pinned to the bottom of the river for historic preservation in front of delberts house A secondary boat, approximately the same size and age, was sunk about 150 ft. south of the georges steam boat in approximately 6 ft. of water these boats were at this location until upstream wood pilings 150 years old were destroyed by ice allowed ice flows to pile the two boats up at the worlds first city sever pipe. Low water levels just reciently alowed ice flows to take them down stream to an unknown location. Many seamen on Great Lake ships witnessed the existence of these boats whenever 3 or 4 Lake Freighter passages occurred at the same time in the same location as this multoiple ship passage sucked the water level down. Some say fulton invented the worlds first stolen boat motor by taking the engine from georges boat them putting it in his boat.
   
   
9. Concrete World’s First:1810 The invention took place at 10th and Military St., Port Huron, MI. The concrete was constructed into approximately a 300 ft. long seawall along the St. Claire River 150 ft of the seawall is still visable and rumered carbon dated at 1810 the other 100 to the north is covered over with dirt as is the south 50 ft. Also this concrete composition likely matches the composition of the concrete poured at the world’s first damn in 1810 called Ford’s Dam, actually Robert’s Dam, at the bottom of the hill M136 in Beards Hills in the Ruby Michigan area.
   
   
10. Seawall World’s First: The invention took place along the St. Claire River at 10th and Military St. in 1810 and marked some 300 ft. of Robert's property.
    
    
11. Mortar World’s First: This invention took place at 10th and Military St., in Port Huron, MI. This first mortar was formed into a concrete seawall. The first use of mortar with bricks occurred in 1829 at Fourth and Union St. in conjunction with the invention of the city.
    
    
12. Buildings Sawed board Lumber and frame(1819): The Hillman/ogelby/Roberts house near the southeast of the corner of Roberts and Graham Rd. was the World’s First Board Sawed Lumber Wood Frame House. It was also the world’s first house with glass windows, elevated wood floors, porches, and two story construction. The world’s first barn was constructed on the north side of Graham Road on the first farm west of Roberts and Graham Road in 1819. In 1909, it became Adrian Hulls farm and barn and he built a new house in front of George’s 1807 lodge. Adrian bought it from his relative’s estate, the Ogelby’s. It was originally George Robert’s square cut log large lodge before his and his wife’s murder, in 1829 at the three cabin settlement on black river. The barn was also the place of the construction storage of the world’s first carriage. This was also probably the place where the world’s first airplane engine and propeller testing occurred about 1901, and the world’s first parlor room that was on Adrian’s house. The world’s first commercial barn and machine shop invention occurred in 1822 with the invention of the barn that housed the world’s first machine shop. In 1829, two sawed lumber shanties were constructed as a temporary shelter for Isaiah from the torn down barn that housed the world's first machine shop located between the two and just north of the large 1825 steam powered paddle wheel river ferry and the Old Seaway Terminal in Port Huron, MI. Isaiah built and lived in a shanty north of the Seaway Terminal beginning in 1829 to 1831 when he built his first house on 17th st and started his farm impliment factory
    
    
13. Glass Windows Residential and Commercial (1819): They were invented in conjunction with the first industrial buildings located at the southwest corner of Fourth and Court St stretching south 1 block. in Port Huron, MI. The invention of the Glass Mason Jar and Residential Glass Windows occurred at approximately the same time as the world’s first sawed board lumber wood frame house at the corner of Roberts and Graham Rd.
    
    
14. Building World’s First (1807): This invention took place at 10th and Military St., Port Huron, MI. This was the primitive home of George Roberts a three cabins with picket fences settlement. It was a log cabins sawed with the world's first saw mill. It was 12" x 12" squared timbers that were stacked up with mud between the 12" wide spaces of the timbers. Identical constructions occurred also at 3 house settlement and an uncompleted fourth house north of the intersection of Black River and Mill Creek west side the remains of this settlement are barley still visable on the ground,the cabines were pulled over with horses in the 1830 murders of george and his wife.
    
    
15. Water Damn World’s First: Invented at the Ford Estate, formerly the Roberts Farm, M136 Baird's Hills, MI. It is commonly known today as the Fords Damn. The concrete from the damn likely matches the concrete from George’s 1810 seawall at 10th and Military St., Port Huron, MI.
    
    
16. Artillery Cannon: It was invented in 1810-1811. This occurred at the George Robert's three cabin settlement along the St. Clair River at 10th and Military Street after returning from the Negaunee area in the Upper Peninsula with iron ore. The first boat the 1810 marrabella 80ft sailing ship and the The 1811 100 ft.steam paddlewheel boat that also had cannons was called “The Big Fire Canoe” by the Indians and was spotted along the Mississippi River in 1811. The cannons were mounted on George's ships which was armed to respond to attacks by Indians and other individuals when he went to europe hijacking was a major concern by starving murdering savages white and indian. The boat was anchored occasionally at 10th and Military St. in Port Huron, MI.A large ships anchor was recovered from the saint clair river in front of georges settlement. This location was a settler transfer point 1810-1819. As a small boy I fished for bass at the cove and saw the cannon portholes in the side of the sunken ships A total of four mallable iron life boat hangers were recovered in the St. Clair River directly in front of George’s settlement.These boat hangers carried the the worlds first tow boats when needed for ferrying and exploration Two of these may be still visible as flower pot hangers located just inside the seawall. The marabella was used only in the great lakes first as a iron ore and silver and coal carrier beginning 1810. In 1829 it began transporting citizens around the Great Lakes area. The marabella was the victim of a Canadian military action in 1860 being sunk by artillery fire without warning. The sunken vessel drifted backwards in the a 5 MPH current in the St. Clair River. The ship listed and partially sunk and the cannons rolled off and sank to the bottom of the river in the Blue Water Bridge area. The world's first artillery cannons were found at the bottom of the St. Clair River under the Blue Water Bridge in the mid 1960s by skin divers.As a small boy I discovered the worlds first grape shot piece at tenth and military street and truned it into the saint clair county historical musium Malleable iron and gun powder were invented here in 1805-1807. Previous to 1807, there are no ships that we know of or cannons on the bottom of the ocean with carbon datable wood structures.All of the boats built at georges settlement at 10th and military were the same boats that were spotted in historical book accounts, one being the 1807 “Fulton’s Folley” in the Hudson River, another being the 1811 “Big Fire Canoe” in the Mississippi River. Another one built at the georges was the 1810 world’s first tall sailing ship called the “Marabella”.Isiah was angered by the sinking of the marabella and invented the exploding shell revolving turret battleship the uss monitor in 1861 its likley he shelled canada in retaliation before assuming its cival war duties.
    
    
17. Metal first Invention of Malleable Iron (1805): The first piece of malleable iron and the world’s first useful metal piece was a miss-shaped hand made oil well shaft located at George’s three cabin settlement on the St. Clair River at 10th and Military St. in Port Huron, MI. The oil from this well was necessary to make coke which was necessary to cast the first steam engine block. The boats that were sunk at George's property were used as world's first iron ore carriers to retrieve coat from duluth minnesota and iron ore from the southern Lake Superior shoreline near Negaunee, MI, which is the site of the present Cleveland Cliffs Northern Iron Ore Mine.
    
    
18. Cast Iron (1807): The first cast iron product was the first steam engine block. I am uncertain as to the amount of carbon that was in the iron to produce this engine block. However, it was the world’s first poured metal. In 1819, George invented horse drawn drag cultivators. This product may have been the first high carbon cast iron product. They were produced at George’s house along the St. Claire River at 10th and Military St. The first set ended up at the world’s first barn, the Ogilvie Roberts Farm, on Graham Rd. in Avoca, MI.
    
    
19. Cast Iron Drag Cultivators were invented at George’s house at 10th and Military St. in 1819. History books describe the invention of the cast iron cultivators as being in 1819.
    
    
20. Horse Drawn Wheeled Cultivators were invented in 1837 in conjunction with Isaiah’s Farm Implement Factory that became port huron engine and thrasher company in 1851 on the west side of 17th st benind isiahs house where he invented the companys first product in 1831 steel bottom plows single two directional two handle walk behind horse drawn type
    
    
21. Oil Well World’s First (1807) Hand Shape Malleable Iron: It was invented on the Robert’s family estate consisting of 300 ft. of sea walled property on St. Clair River located at 10th and Military St., Port Huron, MI. He drilled one well just inside of the 1810 seawall located about 85 ft. south of the north end of the wall, north of the George’s World's 3 Log Cabin Settlement, George Robert's house. This piece of pipe used on this well is believed to be the world's first piece of malleable iron pipe, this was also the world’s first piece of metal. Oil would have been necessary in order to produce the world's first steam engine block because oil added to coal forms coke which is needed to obtain a high enough melting point in order a pool of metal large enough to cast or forge an engine block. In 1860, a dispute regarding the invention of the oil well occurred when Carnegie purchased the house with lot that may have originally been at George’s 3 Log Cabin Settlement sometime between 1859 and 1869. Apparently Isaiah had two wives and children, one family living at this house and one family living next door to the south. Isaiah’s in-laws or s sons or daughters built a house on the lot containing the two oil wells, George’s old oil well that was just inside of the 1810 seawall. Carnegie bought the house after the construction of the wells. Then he claimed to be the inventor of both wells, although he had not even been born at the time of the drilling of the first well in 1805. A court battle occurred ending with Carnegie murdering Isaiah and his wife at the end Gristwalled St. Isaiah invented improved well drilling technology that was used by Drake in Pennsylvania. Drake, who was likely a Grand Trunk Railroad employee in Port Huron, knew of a place in Pennsylvania where oil was coming out of the ground. He probably observed the oil well being constructed while passing on the train. The first major well fields were located in shallow marshy areas near the St. Claire and Black Rivers. Oil by the barrel started coming across the St. Clair River by Ferry in 1850 due to Isaiah’s invention of kerosene. In 1859, oil began arriving in Port Huron from Pennsylvania, likely on the new steel hull 1855 Pierre Marquette Ferry.
    
    
22. Paper (1807-1831): It was invented at George’s house at 10th and Military St. in Port Huron, MI, by using sawdust from the world’s first sawmill.
    
    
23. Rolled Roofing Paper Backed (1807-1829): It was invented in conjunction with George’s houses located at 10th and Military St. and/or north of Mill Creek along the Black River.
    
    
24. Rolled Roof Commercial Production:1831 Port Huron Paper Company along Black River, west of the railroad tracks, north side of the river
    
    
25. Paper Books (1830-1831): Invented at George’s house at 10th and Military? invented at the time of the printing press and the newspaper the free press that became the modern detroit free press
    
    
26. earth moving equipment: 1819 the worlds first comercial buildings located at 4th and court st and at the cove south of reid avenue were the first excavations for the equipment the other possibility was the gravel pit behind the worlds first sawed lumber house near the corner of grahm and roberts rd.This equipment began diging the erie canal in the same year.Likley places of equipment construction include the first three listed locations
    
    
27. Flint Lock Rifle Firearms (1807): This was invented along the St. Claire River at George’s 3 log cabin settlement at 10th and Military in conjunction with George’s early foundry and the invention of the steam engine.
    
    
28. Gun Powder and Chemical Compound Mixing (1807): The invention of gun powder associated with the first flint lock rifle was first produced at George’s house at 10th and Military St. Flint striking stones were discovered in 1803 by George in the Flint River at Flint Michigan, likely on his way to Negaunee, MI, to bring back the first load of iron ore to produce metal in 1805. He also retrieved coal from Duluth, Minnesota and likely transported it by saddlebags and horse before the construction of his first boat in 1806-1807.
    
    
29. World's Second Steam Driven Boat named the "Big Fire Canoe" by the Indians. It was spotted in the Mississippi in 1811. This was the boat that was involved in the supposed war of 1812. The reality is that there was no War of 1812 or Revolutionary War because there were no boats to carry any troops and no firearms previous to 1807. The only Naval skirmish that occurred was in 1860 when the Canadian Militants opened up with canons and sank the world’s first sailing tall ship, the Marbella, considering it to be an armed threat and using Canadian waters to attempt to break out into Lake Huron. The Canadian side of the river has a shoreline current counter flow that the American side of the river doesn’t isiah and george had been using it since 1810 and likley felt it their right as there was no canada in 1810. . The cannons aboard the ship were not loaded and they had no powder on board but they were attacked without notice or some canadians say with plenty of notice and sunk. The Marbella was apparently manned by Isaiah and relatives. The ship was towed and is now is sunk in the cove south of reid avenue. The big fire canoe apparenty shipwrecked in a storm with all hands lost we are uncertin of what year. We believe the route of this boat to George’s settlement was from Lake Huron to Lake Michigan and down the Illinois River to the Mississippi River then south around Key West then likely straight across the Atlantic to Spain. It appears that the 1807 Erie Canal never existed. We don’t believe any evidence of excavation equipment existed until 1819. I examined a waterfall in the Niagara Fall region when I was a child that would have had to have been portaled around and the 100 ft. ship would have definitely been too heavy. This also explains the likely hood that Fort Myers, Florida, would have been an early settlement stop for these ships.
    
    
30. Railroad: It was invented in 1807-1810 with the invention of the world’s first sawmill massed produced square cut railroad ties provided the first element necessary for a functional railroad. The 10th and Military St. Invention Epicenter at George’s three house settlement became a transfer point for settlers and visitors to transfer between ship and railroad transportation. There hasn’t been a carbon dating to my knowledge regarding the age of railroad tracks that are presently buried in the asphalt in the center of Military St., Port Huron, MI. I believe that these tracks would likely have run from George’s house at 10th and Military St. up to the intersection of Fourth and Court St. east side at the location the worlds first scrap yard, in 1819, a new rail track was branched off this line and headed north to water street then west to 9th and Water St. By 1831, this rail line may have extended out Water St. to the site of what became the Port Huron Engine and Thrasher Company . Another rail line ran north through the Thumb area along Lake Huron to Harbor Beach and beyond around 1833. The three ft. of sawdust fill in the backyard of the house I used to live in at 10th and Military St. leads me to believe that this may have been the sawing point for these early railroad ties and the World’s First Three Steam Powered Vessels and the World’s First Tall Ship. Also, the original construction of two or more additional tow boats that were used for the Louis and Clark Expedition, actually for the George Roberts Expeditions that began iron ore shipping from the Ishpeming, Michigan area, possibly around 1805-1807. Rail production began just on the north side of the first house north of adrians house. In 1831, the World’s First Railroad Station at the end of Griswold St. was built in between these local railroad tracks for commuters traveling both west and south. Their was also a conecting line for north and 2westward lines one to flint one to croswell an sandusky and the northern thunb west of black river and one north across black river along the lake huron shore to harbor beack and grindstone city. With the additions to rail service destinations the railroad became known as the grand trunk railroad early foundry activities also began between the old sewaway terminal and military st making steel rails after 1822 and likley bridge steel beginning 1830 if their was no foundry activities at isiahs farm equipment factory yet. Isiahs bessimer steel making process starting in 1851 at this plant and was used to make steam powered farm tractors
    
    
31. Silver Coins were originally invented at George’s house at 10th and Military St. in Port Huron, Mi, in 1810. The inventions of the coin mint, coins, and precious metals, goods for coins bartering? (Capitalism) U.S. Mint Port Huron, MI The first silver mine and the worlds first mine at all,began in 1810 on the northern shores of lake superior
    
    
32. U.S. Mint (1830s Possibly near the U.S. Post Office?): U.S. Mint Port Huron, MI
    
    
33. Riverboat ferries 1825:Just south of the old seaway terminal is where the first river ferry docked begining 1825 A river shanty village sprang up north of the cove at reid avenue on the docks along St. Clair River from north of theintersection of Reid Avenue to the Cove around 1825. this boat was constructed at the cove or at the old seaway terminal. George’s house at 10th and Military St. was where ship from the big fire canoe passenger traffic transferred to railroad transportation from 1812 to 1819.
    
    
34. First Atlantic Ship Crossing with Settlers (1812): In the absence of evidence of any earlier significant size shipwrecks, I am lead to the possible conclusion that the word’s first ship load of new world settlers arrived in North Fort Myers, Florida, and comprised of 200 English settlers setting up a primary population centered on the Evergreen and Piney Road area.Some continued on to port huron michigan up the mississppi river.
    
    
35. 
    
    
36. Ship World’s First Tall (1810): The World’s First Tall Ship was the “Marabella”. This is one of possibly two boats that are sunk at the cove south of Mason St. and east of Military Street. the boat was sail powered only. We are uncertain at this time if any documented evidence has been found of any genuine carbon dateable physical wreckage of any earlier shipwrecks anywhere in the world.
    
    
37. Four Wheel Carriage 1830: George and isiah built the first prototype carriage at his inner sanctuary home that later became isiahs Farm after the death of himself and his wife who was an Ogilve. The prototype is built in the world’s first barn on Graham Rd. He was attempting to sell a franchise for manufacturing to a group of individuals from Flint 59 mile away or a Port Huron area group. Apparently Flint claims the first carriage manufacturing. They apparently decided not to pay and silence his claim not knowing of the existence of George’s son Issah, an eight year old boy, who was left an orphan after returning from school and had to bury his parents. The men attached ropes to the structures and used horses to pull them down on the people inside. While some say that tornados may have been involved, other accounts say there were no storms in the area that day. Also, horses kicked down the picket fences in the rear section of the three cabins and large amounts of hoof prints were discovered by myself in 1966 as a young boy on a camp out that then became boy scout tradition.While the Fords claimed to have come over in 1847, other individuals place their immigration in 1829 which corresponds with the regular service between England and the United States. It’s believed that they had a large family clan and we note that they ended up with George and his wife’s property. Issah fled back to Port Huron with his relatives along the St. Clair River just north of the Old Seaway Terminal where he continued inventing and started manufacturing carriages buses and weigh scale equipment mat the end of griswold st. This happened at their three cabin settlement to the north of the lake that was created by the world’s first damn, presently known as the “Ford’s Damn”, originally built by the Roberts probably around 1810. The concrete used in the construction probably matched the 1810 seawall at George’s Military and 10th St. cabin.
    
    
38. Buckboard Wagon (1819): Production of these likely began in the worlds first barn on the Olgilby Roberts Farm as this was the beginning of the Historic Comstock Rd., the world’s first westward migration settlement road, presently named Graham Road. This road likely served as the world’s first survey marking road to establish longitude and latitude global lines. These wagons began being built in the world’s first barn located on the property. The Olgilvies or their daughter immigrated in 1819 from Belgium. George married their daughter.
    
    
39. 
    
    
40. Horse Drawn Bus (1829-1831): Located at the end of Griswold St., on the south side, across the street from this location, began the world’s first Axle Weigh Scales manufacturing and graduated weigh scale steel balance beams. The other barn was likely involved in Horse Drawn Bus manufacturing. This was likely just after his parents were murdered when he constructed two shanties with the St. Claire Roberts who were relatives of George Roberts. The first railway station (1831) was also Isaiah’s laboratory; last known as the “Clorox Building”. It was located nearly across the street from these two barns. Later in the 1860s, he likely built a house or houses on the north side of Griswold St. between Military and 4th St. this is less than a block from the location of the two concrete slab barns and the world’s first rail station. This was likely the place where Delbert grew up. The possibility exist that Delbert’s mother did not marry Isaiah but had two children by him. This location is likely the link between the Nicholas Roberts family and the Einstein family.
    
    
41. World’s First Road likely ran Isaiah’s house near the corner of Graham and Roberts Rd. south across Mill Creek then along the southern high bank of Black River into Downtown Port Huron.
    
    
42. Log Cabin World’s First Housing Structure: These houses were originally constructed by sawing logs approximately into 12” by 12” square shapes then stacking them into a square house leaving 12” gaps between each sawed log to be filled with mud. This house was George’s first house along the Saint Claire River at 10th and Military St. in the same year he also built his 3 house log settlement along the Black River Valley north of Mill Creek. These houses probably had leaky thatched roofs or no roofs originally. He also probably built a house overlooking Black River and overlooking the lake in 1807 through 1811 or as late as 1829.
    
    
43. Road Bridge: The invention of the World's First Road Bridge took place over Black River in 1810 and then Mill Creek as late as 1829 in conjunction with his invention of the buggy. Four, 1810 believed carbon dated pilings, established this as the world’s first bridge. The 1829 bridge over Mill Creek likely establishes the date of the Carriage Invention. Also, the likely hood is strong that carriages would have started being constructed at the top of the hill overlooking the dammed up lake, the 1810 world’s first dam. This was a major crossing point due to the lack of bridges along Black River at Port Huron. The two wooden road bridges, one built without center beam support in order to limit the ability of others to build bridges in or closer to Port Huron, MI, thereby creating and important passage point in order collect tolls to pay for their efforts in constructing these bridges. This was part of George’s dream that was to build the city of Avoca that he started with the construction of a three log cabin divided picket fenced house group. The completion of the 1829 Mill Creek Bridge may have prompted the attack that lead to George and his wife’s death as the land robbers wanted this bridge in a state of completion to collect the revenues from passage.
    
    
44. Cement Manufacturing Peerless (1830): Peerless’ took over George’s brick and mortar manufacturing facilities at the corner of 4th and Court St. after his murder they built a cement plant on the southside of the street under the present site of the blue water bridge we are uncertain what year. 1831-33 first cement blocks and concrete products manufacturing was located on Black River east of 10th and Water St., last called Black River Concrete Products.
    
    
45. Shingles Individual Wood shakes: These shingles were invented in 1807 up to 1829.
    
    
46. Metal Extrusion Rails : These inventions occurred in 1807-1810 in conjunction with the invention of the railroads and oil well. The inventions took place at the first house north of 10th and Military.
    
    
47. Tavern (1819-1833): The first tavern was located along the Black River near water and 4th st. after the bridge over black river at military st. was built it moved to the north side of the river. It was named the Zebra Bar and may still exist on Quay St. near Huron Ave. This would the place of the invention of spiritous beverages such as wine, malt liquors, and distilled liquors.
    
    
48. World’s First Boat? (1805-1807): The boat sunk at George Roberts’ house may be the world’s first boat. We believe that there is no carbon datable wood hulls any where in the world pre-dating the boats sunk in the St. Clair River south of George’s World’s First Building settlement at 10th and Military Street in Port Huron, MI.
    
    
49. Fruits (1803) Apple Tree: Invented along the St. Claire River. The world’s oldest apple tree is located beside a house several houses north of the intersection of 10th and Military St. in Port Huron, MI. The world’s oldest cherry tree is located southwest of the intersection of 10th and Military. The apple tree may be linked to the Adams family and the Adams Apple of medical anatomy fame. Doctor Adams, the world’s first physician, lived across the street sometime afterward (1807-1882). The other possible place of the world’s oldest apple trees is what may have been George’s original family farm possibly settled as early as 1803-1807. Pear, cherry, and plum, were all conceived before 1833 and were first planted near one or both of George’s two houses. A log cabin was constructed as George’s inner sanctuary in 1807 and likely no road to the location. It was made of square cut logs and may have served as a summer kitchen for Adrian’s house in 1909. It was located on what presently is Graham Road that was originally Comstock Road in the Avoca area. This farm may have also been occupied by the Hillmans as early as 1819 when the world’s first barn and first sawed lumber structure was built there. The world’s first pear tree was planted between George’s lodge and the Hillman Roberts farm along the side of Graham Road. Apple varieties, plums, pears, and cherries, cross breeding and propagation likely occurred between these two locations. Southern varieties of fruits including Peaches, Oranges, Pecans, and Almonds, occurred sometime around 1812 in conjunction with George’s trip to Florida on his sailing vessel or 1840 when Isaiah came to North Fort Myers, Florida, and established the place of the high royal/high federal after completion of the railroad. Grapes were invented in 1819 on Norman Road close to Black River. Berry cultivation may have begun around the same time also.
    
    
50. Vegetables, Grains, and Berries (1819) Potato propagation likely occurred shortly after the invention of the iron plows in 1819 located at the world’s first barn located on Graham Road in Avoca. I believe the propagation of vegetables and grains commenced between 1819 and 1833. The name Hillman may be derived from the concept of planting and tending potato hills. This is likely the place of the propagation of various vegetables such as; tomatoes, celery, beans, peppers, etc.
    
    
51. Rolled Roofing (1829 or possibly previous to 1807): It was invented by George Roberts by spreading asphalt saturated paper felt with granular stone. He did this in conjunction with building the first roof and accomplished the first genuine housing dry-in and weather tight structure. This also may have been the invention of paper since paper would have no value if it was unprotected from the weather in a dried-in structure. This house was originally built in 1807 as one of three stacked log forts overlooking the Black River Valley, located North of the intersection of Black River and Mill Creek on the West side, 1829. Rolled Roofing and/or Paper was possibly first commercially produced at Port Huron Paper Company north of Black River along the same rail line servicing the Mueller Brass Company. This house was originally built in 1807 as one of three stacked log forts overlooking the Black River Valley, located North of the intersection of Black River and Mill Creek on the West side, 1829. Paper was invented in 1807 at the Port Huron Paper Company at the same location along with book and the world’s first published book. Paper was possibly first commercially produced at Port Huron Paper Company north of Black River along the same rail line servicing the Mueller Brass Company.
    
    
52. Barn and Sawed Lumber Building Construction (1819): The word’s first barn was located on Comstock Road, 1 block west of Roberts Rd. on the north side of the road, that’s presently known today as Graham Road in Avoca, MI, at the location of an extremely old apple orchard.
    
    
53. Railroad Tie Scraping and Leveling Tool (1807-1810): This tool is commonly thought to be the mold board plow, an early cultivation tool however there was no cultivation until 1819 with the invention of the cast iron drag cultivators at 10th and Military St. in Port Huron. It was found in 1926 demolition of one of the world’s first buildings, to make way for Adrian’s house at 10th and Military St. in Port Huron, MI, possibly the Young’s house began in 1830, some persons say that after the death of George, the property was overrun, four 50’ lots making up the center of George’s 300’ seawall river frontage were the location of the world’s first buildings.
    
    
54. Cultivation: The invention of cultivation occurred in 1819 with the invention of the Cast Iron Horse Drawn Drag Cultivator. Many persons feel that a railroad tie leveling and scraping tool invented around 1807-1809 is actually a mold board plow. This implement was taken from under the rear stairs of the house at 10th and Military St. in Port Huron, MI. This item does not connect with theories of ancient farming methods including the use of tree stump pieces as a plowing device as some books portrayed it. Previously, no other earth turning was done. This first cultivation was done at 10th and Military St. These original plows were also used at George’s other settlement and are apparently still there for observation at the remnants of the Olgleby Farm on Comstock Road presently called Graham Road in the Avoca, MI area. I’ve observed these obsolete plows myself inside this world’s first barn. This property was purchased by or taken over by Adrian around 1909. George’s property along the St. Clair River was the first cultivated land in the world.
    
    
55. Fire (Heat) Cooked Meats: In 1803 George discovered flint striking stones capable of starting fires in the Flint River near Flint, MI. Meat were consumed raw before this time. Scientists have found campfires in caves; apparently however, when the combustion of the wood occurred, is unknown to us as far as carbon date ability. Early Flint residents may have made a business selling these stones causing the formation of the town? The concept of the rapidly rotating stick producing fire likely was invented by me probably in 1964-1968 in conjunction with Eagle Scouts in Port Huron with Steve Moutoux, having a signaling method for emergency rescue success.
    
    
56. Court System Crime & Punishment (Incarceration) 1829: Located at 4th and Court St. in Port Huron, MI. This was the world’s first two story brick and mortar building. It possibly also housed a jail?
    
    
57. Invention of Coke (1806): The mixing of coal and oil together was necessary to produce a high enough temperature fire to melt large puddles malleable iron. These large puddles were necessary in order to cast engine blocks and cannons. The invention likely occurred at 10th and Military Street in Port Huron, MI. The fourth item necessary to make metal was likely flint that was discovered in the Flint River by George in 1803-1805. This brought together all of the elements necessary to produce metal, coal from West Virginia, Iron Ore from Negaunee, MI, oil from George’s well, and flint stones to make fire.
    
    
58. Surveying (1819-1829): Fourth and Court St.? This established city block lengths 1819 county roads 1 mile square and world’s first half mile road, Graham Road, in Avoca, MI, by compass, probably using chains and rods measurement methods and algebra, geometry, and trigonometry.
    
    
59. Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry (1819): They were invented in conjunction with surveying.
    
    
60. Cotton and Cotton Gin: Invented in 1809-1810 by George Roberts. George’s boat, the “Marabella” was the world’s first tall ship and was equipped with the world’s first cloth and the world’s first sails. The cotton gin and the fabric loom were most likely created just previous to the need for these sails in 1809-1810. The theory of the Massachusetts in 1793 by Whitney has some elements of doubt. For one thing, cotton or its genetic predecessors likely grew naturally in Mississippi and Louisiana along the Mississippi River. George discovered cotton after his journey down the Mississippi River at the Suwannee River in Florida in George’s “Fulton’s Foley”. He may have passed by here again in 1812 bring settlers to Fort Myers, Florida, from England. George’s boats were instrumental in shipping the product from Florida and Louisiana to Port Huron, MI. George’s world’s first boats likely numbered 3 by 1819 with the addition of a new model possibly as long as 150 feet establishing international immigration and trade in various commodities such as textiles, furniture, pots and pans, stoves, nails. It is very possibly that each of these world’s first ocean going ships are buried at the cove south of Mason Ave. in Port Huron that was or is owned by Isaiah and George’s family. Another creditable report places the discovery of cotton along the Suwannee River in Florida.
    
    
61. Textile Manufacturing Hand Operated George’s Loom 1810 with improvements to 1819: Early textile and furniture manufacturing began in 1819 at the end terminus of George’s world’s first railroad. These first sawed lumber factories or barns were located in the area north of Court St. and east of 4th St., most likely along 3rd St., in Port Huron. MI. Furniture manufacturing may have begun as late as 1819 with the invention of wood floor houses. Mechanically operated looms, engine driven, likely evolved after 1825.
    
    
62. Spinning Wheel and Hand Loom: It appears unlikely that the spinning wheel has European origins especially with no saw to saw wood or no metal to cut wood existed, or drills to drill holes or make fasteners. This concept likely evolved with the discovery of cotton by George in 1809-1810. The experimental stages of cotton development into fabric 1809-1810 took place at George’s house along the St. Clair River in conjunction with the spinning when to make ropes for his boats, sails for the Marabella, and clothing.
    
    
63. Cast Iron and steel early products Products: Early cast iron products likely began to be produced at the northern terminal of George’s rail road just east of the intersection at Court St. on the south side of the road. Early items of manufacture in 1819 were cast iron farm plows, and wood burning stoves. Production of these items may have began at George’s house along the St. Clair River then moved north to the Court St. location.
    
    
64. Feet and Yard Units of Measurement (1819): The invention of the steel yard at George’s steel yard was likely also the place of invention of the yard and foot as units of measurement. Previous to the steel yard at the intersection of Court and Fourth St. likely the invention of the chain and yard land survey measurement scales.
    
    
65. Bow and Arrow (1768-1769): George possibly invented this as a small infant as he was born in England in 1768.
    
    
66. Fencing and Private Property (1807): The three house garrison that George built in 1807 along Black River north of Mill Creek and likely a three or four house garrison that he built at 10th and Military St. were the first examples of private property and 50 ft. wide lots.
    
    
67. Thanksgiving (1807): George invents this feast after the invention of the apple trees 1803 and flint lock rifle 1807 for large game and fire invention for cooked meats in 1803.Indians came north with george this year and built the two three house settlements they also built houses along 10th st southside less than a block from 10th st and military around 1810.George likley had children with these indians. It is likley that the lodge on grahm rd 1/4 mile west of georges 1819 house was occupied by the indians originally at least. Delbert may have built them a new house when theirs fell down.
    
    
68. Cement Nails (1811): First used in the construction of the first ship carrying ship born immigrants. The ship is ship wrecked on the Atlantic beach in New England. Many individuals attempt to place this ship’s history in the 1780s, however cement was not invented until 1810, the first seawall being at George’s house at 10th and Military St. The first cement product was concrete seawall and form boards needing nails in 1810 at georges three log cabin settlement therefore the big fire canoe could not have predated 1810 and was actually built in 1811. To my knowledge, no carbon dateable wrecks have been found previous to this one except for George’s 1807 World’s First Steam Powered Vessel that we call George’s Folly and George’s boat, the 1810 World’s First Tall Ship called the Marabella.Tools including hammer and hand saw
    
    
69. Pyramids, Roman Coliseums, and Medieval Castles: These represent tourist traps built beginning as early as posdsibly 1830s There were no stone cutting saws capable of cutting stone until the 1830 likely the first products were slate pool tables and 1830 federal building port huron also grinding stones from grindstone city in the michigan thumb was a likley first product.We have located a book refrence to the pyramids and spynx in an 1860 edition.We wonder if this corresponds to the start of tourism by ship to egypt.
    
    
70. Mason Jar and Glass? Canning Method of Food Preservation (1819-1829): George being the world’s first mason likely invented this concept This would have also been the invention of glass. We believe it is likely that the first production began at George’s brick factory extending south from the southwest corner of Fourth and Court St. in Port Huron, MI.
    
    
71. Candle and Oil Lantern: The invention of the candle likely occurred in 1810 with the invention of the spinning wheel and cotton to form the wick, likely invented at George’s house along the St. Claire River.
    
    
72. Cave Housing (Intentionally Dug) 1802-1803: The first attempt of a human to survive northern winters occurred when George walked in from England across the Atlantic Arctic Ice Fields to the Port Huron, Michigan, area, along the banks of the St. Claire River. The remnants of this cave are still visible on a vacant lot about a block south of 10th and Military St., two or three houses north of Delbert’s 300 ft. wide frontage lot house built around 1898.His discovery of fire and flint striking stones in 1803 made wood heat a critical factor of survivability. George chose this location due to his shallow oil deposit discovery about 1 block north.He theorized metal and the things that could be made from it and began looking for the ingrediants nessary.
    
    
73. Fire Engine (1829-1831): It was likely first built at the end of Griswold St. The first Fire House likely at the Court House at 4th and Court St. in Port Huron, MI.
    
    
74. College (1829) The worlds first college was called Rutgers College located in Port Huron located at 4th and court st. on the northeast corner extending north and across the street from the first court and municipal building. Yale, Brown, Middleburrey, and Columbia College, were the first ones located on the east coast and began in 1833 or before.
    
    Organized Graveyards - Spring Hill Cemetary in Avoca, MI? Concrete crosses and caskets 1829-30 likely with the death of Isiahs parents. In 1869 headstones and grave yards were likley invented by delbert after the death of Isiah, remembering the dates of death of their relatives families in europe began collecting the remains of their emancipated relatives and burying them in with dated headstones they were retrieved from shallow grave and bone stack entoumbments Apparently from researchers, no cloth only scant animal skins were found as clothing in recent grave autopsies there by attesting to the fact that there was no cloth in Europe before 1812 and only the best hunters survived. Populations were extremely minimal due to the lack of cultivation and the primitive nature of hunting with George’s 1768 invention of the bow and arrow gave protection from animal and human attacks became available and larger animals could be killed if they could get close enough for a shot.Before 1708 Starvation deaths were common in this era due to lack of sufficient foraged food stuffs such as bird and reptile eggs and possibly plant roots, grubs,frogs and snakes. Individuals were also subject to being attacked and or eaten by alligators, crocodiles, large cats, bears, sharks, bulls, bucks, and humans.
    
    
75. food canning (1898) Worlds first cannery was located at the south end of the factory complex that contained the first mason jar factory and first brickworks. Located 1 block south of the southeast corner of 4th and court st at what is now the post office. Sheet metal forming may have begun here in 1867 kerosene lanterns and buckets were likley early products although they may have been as early as 1819 with the invention of glass for hurricane globes.
    
    
76. World Human Population Proliferation (1708): George’s grandfather george 1st invented Collie Dog assisted lamb slauters easing starvation of humans. In 1768 George invented the bow and arrow as an infant. In 1807 George invented the Flint Lock Rifle. In 1819 George invented cultivation and propigated edible plant species and early genetic improvements. Due to these inventions, world population proliferated from possible as little as 100,000 to 1,000,000 to today’s billions of world population. The ability per square mile of temperate non-desert land to support and feed each human was small. George inventions established all of the northern latitude freeze out countries and their ability to support human life. Jungles were the most likely place previous to georges northern latitude inventions of significant human populations and with dangers like animals diseases and territorial wars taking a toll on the population in these areas.
