²B. H. Davis, Reminiscences of Oxford Homes and People (Seymour Record - 1913), Chapter 6. . " A little further on we come to the historical Toby's Mountain or Rocks, which is known to every school boy who ever attended the Chestnut Tree hill school. It was customary, when the writer went to school, for all the boys to go to Toby Rocks every Good Friday, or Fast Day, with a good supply of eggs, and have a good time. Among the many places of interest they would visit are the Eagle's Nest, Echo Rock, Panther Den Hollow, Rattlesnake Peak and the Devil's Jump. The last named derived its name from the fact that many years ago when the Indians inhabited the mountain, an old Indian woman jumped from this rock to the valley below, about 200 feet, for a quart of whiskey. She drank the whiskey before making the leap. It is needless to remark that she never came back and we may presume that she died happy.
Nearly two centuries ago, a tribe of Indians lived here, and as they each in their turn were called to the happy hunting grounds, about the year 1750 they had all disappeared, but Old Toby, the last of the Mohegans.
At that time he owned about 600 acres of rocks and scrubby woodland. Panthers and other wild animals were numerous in those days and rattlesnakes were as plentiful then as the common black snake is now. when Old Toby died, the rocks were purchased by Col. John Davis, and later came into the possession of Burritt Davis.
For many years past the whole mountain has been burned over from fires set by sparks from locomotives passing on the railroad which bounds it on the east, so that the wood and timber is practically worthless, except to pay taxes on." http://www.our-oxford.info/davis-reminiscences/Davis-06.html.
