Looking at your date and the writings with the spellings of the time, and the location makes me almost sure you need to look in Colebrook, CT. Colebrook is the last Connecticut town on Route 8 next to Sandisfield, Mass. Sandisfield is in Berkshire County. Sometimes homes and the land with it on the border towns actually are in two states. For example, a man I knew told me the house he was born in was in Ashley Falls, MA and their outhouse was in Canaan, CT. I lived in both towns--at different times. Even today, in one part of those towns, only a small dirt road with just a small sign separates the two states. Most people who have taken that road don't even know they have crossed state lines.
