The Booth family emigrated from Yorkshire, England ca. 1712. Thomas Booth (1764-1825) purchased this Bethel Township farm in the 1790s from Robert Pyle. Local Quakers held monthly meetings in the Pyle log house on this property.
Thomas Booth built this Federal-style farmhouse in 1819 for his eldest son James Booth and wife Lydia (Forwood) Booth. The Booths built the barn around this same time. The farm remained in the Booth family for six generations. Boothwyn in Upper Chichester Township and Booth’s Corner in Bethel Township are named for this family.
