Hi Peggy, you are one of several people who suggested Colebrook CT as the 'Coalbrook' I'm looking for. So far, it seems to be the only reasonable option. Your other information I thought was really interesting, about the two nearby places between in two different states, and the lack of definition between CT and MA in this particular area. Thanks for your answer!
