"  Just above the last named place we branch off from the main road and follow the mountain or short cut road that was used by the early settlers to travel to Naugatuck, thereby saving about one and a quarter miles each way.
 A short distance from the main line is located the old home of Ebenezer Seeley. He married Harriet Sanford of Oxford and lived all his long and eventful life on the secluded mountain farm. He was a charcoal burner by profession and made a comfortable living selling charcoal and other produce from the farm.
 They had three children -- Augusta, who married Enos Tyler of Naugatuck; Chary, who married Sir Henry Hine of Naugatuck; and Albert, who married Charlotte Bronson of  Middlebury. Albert learned the carpenter trade and worked at that  business all his life. He died several years ago. I think his widow is still living at Pinesbridge. Ebenezer Seeley died Jan. 13th, 1878, aged 76 years.  His wife died Feb. 8th 1873." http://www.our-oxford.info/davis-reminiscences/Davis-07.html.
