  • Notes 
    • Aaron Worthington owned the land in Petersburgh, NY that we now know as "The Head of the Lane". In 1828, he gave a portion of this land to the Baptist Society to build their church. Aaron Worthington built the Petersburg Baptist Church in 1828. In 1855, Aaron Worthington built the Christian Church across the street from the Baptist Church, he was a member of the Christian Church. Next to these two churches lies the Worthington/Moses Cemetery, Aaron Worthington's stone is in the front row and reads: Major-General Aaron Worthington. The very large Inn where Aaron lived, that we refer to as the Worthington Inn, was torn down when they paved Route 22.
