In the heart of old Quakertown in Ledyard is an 18th century antique treasure of history. William Crouch, Sr. was a farmer who bought a large tract of land in what was then North Groton from the Avery family and built a Cape Cod house with a central stone chimney and fireplaces in the main room and above and below - William and his wife Content Watrous, the daughter of the more fanatical Rogerene Quaker, Timothy Watrous had ten children and their son Zachariah would go on to live in the additional home built in the same style across from the farm on the tract of land with his wife, Delight (Watrous). That is the home now at 151 Lambtown Road - once known as the "extension." Zacharia managed the farm and produced door hinges. The family also ran an apple orchard on site. At the time the land was 90 acres and the family became quite notable. Eight of the children were girls. The only boy, William served In the 26th CT Regiment I the Civil War. Youngest sister, Emeline took advantage of her father's large acquisition of a piano and attend Music Vale Seminary in Salem, CT and eldest sister, Delight, married Enoch Whipple, a young man deaf from birth who was taught by his father, Jonathan Whipple how to read lips and even some early ASL.
