That whole area - Woodward Rd, Davis Rd, Croydon Turnpike, was all us. 
My great grandfather's 1st wife was from the next hill south (she died 
from chasing a horse), the 2nd one came from Hartland Vt (there was the 
Hart's Island rope ferry between Hartland Vt. and Plainfield so it was 
like one big town).  The 3 of them are buried in the same cemetery plot. 
  A lot of it is all grown over now but it used to be cleared with farms 
everywhere. All along Rt 120 were relatives.  The big mill connection 
was Lebanon NH and Hartford VT and the transportation connection was 
West Lebanon NH and White River Junction VT so they were back and forth 
all the time. We had another patch of relatives in Jericho (village of 
Hartford VT).
