William Robertson, appointed clerk of the colony's Council in 1698, director of the fledgling capital in 1705, and a city alderman in 1722, was a useful man in Williamsburg's where he also operated a most serviceable windmill.  Reconstructed on its original site, Robertson's tall, lattice-vaned, linen-sailed machine today commands Colonial Williamsburg's Windmill, Cooper, and Rural Trades site.  Near it, barrel makers and sawyers work, and farmers tend rows of 18th-century staple crops like corn, tobacco, and wheat.
