Field Notes

Edmund Boldero House, 1022 Worthington Ridge, c. 1801. Edmund Boldero along with Reverend Evan Johns emigrated from England in 1801. They built and lived jointly in this house with their families. Reverend Johns became the second minister of the Worthington Meetinghouse in 1802, but was dismissed in 1811, reportedly due to an uncontrollable temper. In the 1850s, it was owned by Sherlock Hall and served as a post office. In the 1970s a front porch was removed to restore the home to its original look.
