Home of Judge Thomas White – Refuge of Francis Asbury-Near this site stood the home of Judge Thomas White, member of the Colonial Maryland legislature and Delaware House of Assembly, Chief Justice of the Kent County Court of Common Pleas, and delegate to the Delaware Constitutional Conventions of 1776 and 1791-1792. This was also the boyhood home of his son, Samuel White, U.S. Senator from Delaware 1801-1809.

While living with the Whites, Asbury developed the ideas that would shape the future of American Methodism.
