Whitehaven - BoltonThe land on which this house is located was originally patented as "Noble Quarter" in 1663, property held under the ownership of Nicholas Rice. The Wicomico River plantation was involved in a resurvey of the land in 1676, known as "Might Have Had More," a name which passed down with the property until the 1850s when the farm was renamed "Bolton." The house is now thought to have been built around 1700, if not before. It was owned down the years by families such as Waters, Willing, Shiles, Gale, Robertson.Jul 31, 2023

Tyaskin - St. Mary's Episcopal ChurchThe organization of a separate Episcopal congregation independent of Green Hill and St. Paul's dates to the last decades of the 18th century. A frame chapel stood on this site by 1796-98 and soon became a local landmark and point of reference for area descriptions. The chapel is referred to in several entries in the Federal Direct tax assessment levied in 1798. The late eighteenth century chapel burned in 1834, and it was not replaced by the current building (shown here) until eleven years later, in 1845.Jul 31, 2023

Green Hill Church (St. Bartholomew's Episcopal)Green Hill was the original parish church of Stepney Parish, which was laid out in 1692. In around 1694, a log church building was constructed here, replaced in 1733 with this current brick building. Though there are no regular services conducted here, the church is reopened every year in August for the annual St. Bartholomew's Day celebration and worship service. Three local Episcopal churches participate in this service: St. Mary's in Tyaskin, St. Phillip's in Quantico, and St. Paul's in Salisbury.Jul 31, 2023
