Houses and Barns

Black and white photograph of the home of 'Miss' Cordelia Robinson (b. February 1st, 1836, Robinson Hollow in Chesterfield). Cordelia's sister, Alice (who also possibly lived in this house) was born in the same place on July 17th, 1843. The sisters moved to Worthington with their father, Eleazer (also possibly a member of the household?), in 1854. See item Ph101x for a photo of the sisters (Cordelia nicknamed Delia). Eleazer purchased the house from John Everett and according to Rev. Moody, Andrew Everett lived there for many years. As of 1905 the property contained 110 acres and the Robinson's kept 150 hens. According to a WHS member, this house is possibly the one across from Sylvia Howe's on Old North Road (~2008). The house is featured in The South Worthington Parish by Rev. George Reed Moody (1905), page 85, #2.
