    Next we come to the place known as the home of old Mother Couch, where about the year 1850 was noted as a subpostoffice, the mail being left there for the residents of Chestnut Tree Hill. Each one in their torn would go after it and deliver it across the hill. Nearly every farmer on the hill at that time was a subscriber for the New Haven Register, and it was called the "Farmer's Bible." Mrs. Couch died at the age of nearly a hundred years, about the year 1847. After her death, the place was sold to Burrett Davis.
