Notes for Thomas Worthington

Notes for Thomas Worthington

Thomas and Elizabeth Worthington bought Broome and Wardridge of Henry Ridgely
III and resided there. It bordered upon Hockley, and upon it are both the
Ridgely and Worthington graveyards.
Obit notice-" Last Monday morning, died at his plantation, about 5 miles from
town, in the 63rd year, or grand climatical year, of his age, Mr. Thomas
Worthington, who, for many years past, and to the time of his death, was one of
the repesentatives for this county in the Lower House of the Assembly. He
served his country with a steady and disinterested fidelity; was strictly
honest in principle and practice, and therefore had esteem of all that knew
him. He was a good father and sincere friend; was frugal and industrious, and
was possessed of many qualities which constituted the character of a good and
sincere Christian"--- Maryland Gazette, 1753 & Green's Annapolis Gazette
