Here's a photo of Thomas Woodward's house at the NE corner of Route 926 and Mill
Road in East Marlborough Township, Chester County, PA.

  The house, built 1734, was lived in by Thomas and family from 1749 to 1811, when his widow died intestate and the Orphans Court ordered sale. In 1814, Emmor Worth applied for a tavern license but was turned down because 99 signers of a petition opposed it. The next year he reapplied successfully. At that time it was known as Worth's Inn. It became the Drover's Inn in the 1830s, serving as a night stop for cattle dealers driving their herds to the Philadelphia markets. In the cellar is a large vault where allegedly liquors were kept. The house has a fireplace in every room and in the basement kitchen, the crane hangs in its original place in the fireplace. The fireplace in the kitchen is somewhat unusual with an oval shape and side closets having iron doors.

  It was at this house on the 18th day, 11th month in 1758 that the famous itinerant English
Quaker preacher, John Woolman, refused to spend the night upon seeing that Thomas kept
several slaves. The next morning Thomas liberated them. At some period during Thomas'
residency at the house, 1749-1786, he was an overseer at London Grove Meeting just a few miles to the west on Street Road (route 926).

  At the time of Thomas' purchase in 1749, he acquired 200 acres with the dwelling, but
sold off 100 acres right away.
