Searights Tollhouse (there are various spellings) is named after the family. Two ancestors were heavily involved with the road, and Thomas wrote the definitive history on it in 1894. The road was then a neglected relic awaiting the automobile era which he did not live to see.

Thomas Searight is buried in this cemetery, facing the road. A modern-day Conestoga wagon, a U-Haul truck, is captured in motion beside him.
