Hypothetically, if i were to hook up an old timey flour windmill to a generator, how much power could i produce with its rotation?

Energy is energy. Turning a stone or turning a generator is still going to be the same ultimate thing, but while these and water mills were great in their day, science and engineering has improved, leading to the ability to generate more power from the same blade diameter and wind/water speed.
