A family by the name of Poach.

DESCRIPTION:

Until very recent years there stood in this field, about three hundred yards 
north from the highway a clump of cedar trees and heavy undergrowth, which 
indicated there was once a graveyard.  On this same plot of land was once a 
home, claimed to have belonged to a family named Poach, and this field which 
contains the graveyard has always been known as Poach’s Field.  So it is 
generally supposed that this was a Poach graveyard.  There remains now on the 
site only one dead cedar tree. {no markers}
