He educated himself, and later in life became a schoolmaster and such an influential figure in the public life of New Hanover that he was a member of the second House of Commons which met after the establishment of the State. In 1789, Bloodworth found himself as a member of the State Senate, and his prominence held that he became a United States Senator.
