Fond as he was of Frodo, Fatty Bolger had no desire to leave the Shire, nor to see what lay outside it. His family came from the Eastfarthing, from Budgeford in Bridgefields in fact, but he had never been over the Brandywine Bridge.
- The Fellowship of the Ring (Book 1), Chapter 5
The Eastfarthing village of Budgeford sits on the northern banks of the Shire-water, just north of Whitfurrows. It is home to the Bolger family.
