    ... Upon the high bluff of land a little east of the present village of Seymour stood, in 1780, a tavern of some celebrity, kept by a man named Tural Whittemore. This locality was, and we believe still is, called "Indian Hill," having once been the residence of the remnant of a tribe of the Milford Indians, of whom the lands in this vicinity were purchased. Their sachem was Mauwee, named by the English settlers "Joe Chuse," it is said from the manner in which he pronounced the word "choose"; and from him the settlement was often called "Chuse-town." It was a part of the ancient town of Derby, which then included what is now Derby, Ansonia, Seymour and the larger portion of Oxford ...

    ... He bought from Joseph Johnson in 1774, the place where Mr. Martin R. Castle now lives, where he kept a barroom, and in this barroom the plot was arranged to rob Capt. Ebenezer Dayton, of Bethany ... Ebenezer Turil was in the Revolutionary war.
