A History
Holy Trinity Church was built by Thomas Henry Duthie, who was born in Scotland in 1805. In 1833 he married Caroline Rex, and in 1834 bought Belvidere Farm from his father-in-law. He was troubled by the fact that the nearest church was in Georgetown, sixty miles, two passes and nine rivers away.
