CONVEYED BY COMMISSIONERS OF FORFEITURE TO WILLIAM G. WOODWORTH IN 1786. SERVED IN REVOLUTION. PASSED TO HIRAM WOODWORTH 1810-1910.

The Woodsworth family were early settlers in the town of what is today Mayfield, and they played an important part in the American cause for our independence during the American Revolution. The property that this sign refers, was procured by one of the Woodsworth sons, William G. Woodsworth, where he settled after the Revolutionary War. As the marker states, it was passed on to his son Hiram who owned the farm from 1810 to 1910 and it was known as the old Woodsworth Farm. The marker was installed in 1936 and suggested by E. J. Ruliffson, an early Mayfield Historian. (Note: In the Town of Bleeker, over the mountain behind this area, is Woodworth lake, named after this family and until recent years used as a boy Scout Camp)
