"Only eighteen years before in 1760 William Blizard brought his family to this land and set out a farm of 586 acres around this very spot, one of the earliest to make a permanent home in this part of the colony. With his wife, Lurenah,he found the strength of God at St. Thomas's, Garrison Forrest, some fourteen miles away. There their children were baptized but it was here that many of them were laid to their final rest."
