those who still bear it may be men- tioned Mr. Valentine Mathes of Dover, and Valentine Mathes Cole- man, Esq., of Newington.
HILL'S MILL POND. This name, derived from Valentine Hill (see Hill's Five Hundred Acres), is given to the mill-pond above the lowest falls in Oyster river (now Durham Falls) the 25th, 9 mo., 1661, when 20 acres of upland were granted to John Wood- man " betwixt the freshett that run- neth to Mr. hill's mill pond and the upper end of the pond, whear the sayd John Woodman shall see gode to make choyse of, not intrenching apon ani former grant."
HILL'S PAN or PEN. See Stony Brook.
HILL'S SWAMP. Mentioned in 1656, when John Bickford, Sr., had a grant of 100 acres of upland adjacent to Thomas Footman's hundred acres, on the N. W. side of " the swampe sometimes called Mr. hill's swampe." This Bickford land was afterwards acquired by Joseph Hix, for whom it was laid out anew Ap. 12, 1718, on the N. W. side of hill's swamp. This swamp was apparently the low land in Madbury, adjoining the Boston & Maine R. R., between Hicks's Hill and Pudding Hill. The name may have been derived from Valen- tine Hill of Oyster River, the only person of the name in Dover at the time of Bickford's grant, who appears to have had the prefix of " Mr." A timber grant to " Mr. Hill " (no doubt Valentine) "on ye north side of ye path from Bellamies Bank towards Oyster River," is mentioned in a grant to Richard Waldron in 1652. In the time of Joseph Hix (or Hicks), however, Wm. Hill lived at the lower
side of Pudding Hill. "The mast path that leadeth from Knight's farm to William Hill's," is mentioned Feb. 28, 1705-6. Thirty acres were laid ont to Henry Marsh Ap. 4, 1709, " eastward of Mahorramet's hill, be- ginning at a hemlock tree on the poynt of the plain to the westward of William Hill's plantation."
HILTON'S COVE. This cove is on the Newington shore, adjoining the old terminus of Knight's ferry. but the name is no longer in use. It is mentioned the 9th, 5 mo., 1652, when John Hall had a grant of 18 acres " a little above Hilton's Core." It is again mentioned the 5th, 10 mo., 1674, when Thomas Tricke's grant of 18 acres in 1656, " on Bloody poynt side," was laid out " abone hilltones coue, joining to henery Lankster his land westerly, bounded up the gutt to a rock, and from the rock to A wall nutt Tree marked with an H and a T, and soe to a Beich Tree marked with A and T, and so to the freshett that runs in too Thomas Trickey his coue above his house at high-water mark."
John Hall conveyed to Henry Langstaffe, the 1st, 4 mo., 1668, 12 acres of land granted him by the town of Dover, together with house, goods, and chattels within doors and without. Henry Langstar, grandson of the above Henry, conveyed to Jolın Shackford, Nov. 23, 1716, ten acres of land called Hall's field, bounded N. W. by a little mead, W. by land formerly Zachariah Trickey's but then in possession of Capt. John Knight, and E. by the highway to the ferry. George Walton and Fran- ces conveyed to John Knight, Feb. 27, 1718-19, ten acres of land " in ye
103

town of Newington," bounded north- westerly by land formerly Zachariah Trickey's, then ye said Knight's, and easterly by the highway from the ferry to the meeting-house-" which ffield is called Hall's ffield, and for- merly belonged to Henry Langstar, deceased."
John Knight, Sr., and wife Bridget, conveyed to their son John, Feb. 7, 1717-18, a tract of 18 acres at Bloody Point, bought of Zachary Trickey, bounded N. W. by the main river, east by John Hoyt's land (previously Geo. Brawn's), south by the Bloody Point highway to Nutter's, and west by Ephraim Trickey's land,-together with the dwelling-house, and all in- terest in the ferry at Bloody Poynt.
HILTON'S POINT. This name was given for more than a century to the lower extremity of Dover Neck, from Edward Hilton, who founded a settle- ment here as early as 1623, that proved, however, unsuccessful. It is so called March 12, 1629-30, in the new patent he obtained from the Ply- month Council. He afterwards set- tled in Exeter, but this point con- tinued to bear his name till the sec- ond half of the 18th century. (See Hilton's Point Ferry.) The Dover records make mention of it repeat- edly. It is so called by Robert Mason in 1681. Thomas Mason of Dover, trader, and Magdalen his wife, Sept. 13, 1733, conveyed to John Wheelwright and others, of Boston, merchants, his dwelling- house on Dover Neck, " on the west- erly side of the road that leads down to Hilton's Point, commonly so called," together with the land adja- cent. It is now called Dover Point. (See Wecanacohunt.)
* Sobre Knight m. Brickget, dass. Richard Alopea, March 29, 1684. 5. The way b. Gang, 5, 1659 and was living in 1720.
HILTON'S POINT FERRY. Mentioned Sept. 4, 1766, when Ephraim and Hannah Tibbets conveyed to Job Clement 124 acres " on Dover Neek the westerly side of the road to Hil- ton's Point ferry, so called," extend- ing to the upper side of the way that leads to Hall's slip on Back river. This was the ferry from Hilton's Point to Newington, generally called Knight's ferry.
HILTON'S POINT SWAMP. Men- tioned in 1652, when this swamp was laid out as an ox pasture. Hum- phrey Varney conveyed to John Knight, Nov. 8, 1711, his share in the ox pasture " granted him in Hil- ton's Point swamp at ye loer end of Dover Neck."-" The ox pasture in Hilton's Point swamp" is again men- tioned in Judge John Tuttle's will of Dec. 28, 1717. Joseph Hall of New- market conveyed to Thomas Millet, Feb. 11, 1736, two tracts of land in Dover ; "one known by ye name of ye Swamp or Ox common, and calld by some Hilton's Point ; "-" ye other known by ye name of ye Calves Pasture." These lots were originally laid out to " Lt. Ralph Hall," grand- father of said Joseph. This swamp is now called Huckleberry Swamp.
HOBBS'S HOLE. Mentioned Nov. 20, 1722, when Samuel Kenney con- firmed to Capt. Ichabod Plaisted all right to three acres of land at a place in the township of Dover called Hobbs's hole, bounded southward and eastward by "Nichewanock" river, north by said Plaisted's land, and west by that of Henry Hobbs, de- ceased. The significance of the word " Hole " does not appear.
Henry Hobbs married Hannah, daughter of Thomas Canney, Sr.,

and received as part of her portion. July 12, 1661, six score acres of land between St. Alban's cove and Quam- phegan, bounded S. E. by the " Nechewannick " river in part, and partly by land that was sometime possessed by Capt. Mason's agent ; N. E. by the highway that goeth from ve south end of ye sª lot up into ye woods towards the N. W. ; N. W. by Thomas Hanson's land, and S. W. partly by James Grant's, and partly by the commons. Henry Hobbs conveyed to Thomas Hobbs, Ap. 12. 1720, one half of all his land at Sligo, bounded easterly by the "Nechawonack " river, southerly by Sylvanus Nock's land, and northerly
by that of James Stackpole. On this shore, in the upper part of the " Point district," not far above St. Alban's cove, the Hobbses built ships in early times, which were eas- ily launched at high tide, this part of the river being deep. "The road that passes by the meeting-house down to Capt. Hobbs's by the river" is mentioned July 26, 1764, in a deed of six acres of land which Thomas Wallingford sold Benjamin Warren, part of a tract said Wallingford had purchased of Thomas Hobbs.
HODGDON'S POINT. This point is on the shore of the Pascataqua, below Bloody Point, but the name has not been retained. It was so called from John Hodgdon, who con- veyed to John Knight, in three par- cels, all his lands on the sontherly side of the road from Bloody Point, part of which adjoined Henry Lang- star's ten-acre grant. The last of these was conveyed March 7, 1736, when John and Mary Hodgdon sold John Knight " all the land where we
now dwell, beginning at the lower end of our garden, and running along the land we sold sd Knight to Mr. Geo. Walton's line, then somewhat southerly by Walton's line up to ye road." John Knight. son of the above John, in his will of 1770, speaks of his land at Hodgdon's Point, on the east side of the lane leading from his dwelling-house to Portsmouth, adjoining the land of Geo. Walton.
HOGSTY COVE. This cove is men- tioned as one of the bounds of an- cient Dover the 8th, 7 mo., 1652, when the line ran "from a creek next below Thomas Canney his house, to a certain cove near the mouth of the Great Bay called Hogsty Cove. In the division of the Squamscot Pa- tent, May 22, 1656, the General Court at Boston granted to the town of Dover " the land from Kinges (Kenney's) Creeke to a certain Cove neere the mouth of the great Bay called Hogstye Cove, with all the marsh from that place round about the bay up to Cotterill's Delight, with 400 acres of upland, as granted it by the Court," etc. (N. H. Prov. Pap., 1 : 222.) This was a confirmation of a previous decree the 19th, 7 mo., 1643, when the General Court at Boston ordered " that all the marsh and meadow ground lying against the great bay on Strawberry bank side shall belong to Dover, together with 400 acres of upland adjoining." (Ibid, 1 :172.) The Dover bounds, as de- fined by the N. H. General Court, Sept. 12, 1701, ran " from Cannye's Crike on a Directe Line to Hoogstie Core, with the Mashes on the Grete Baye and foure Hundred Acres of Upland Adjoininge thereto, as form-
105
Landmarks in Ancient Dover.
erly laid out, and from Hoogstie Cove over to Lamperill River mouth," etc. (Ibid. 3 : 227.) That Hogsty Cove was the lowest cove on the Newington shore of the Great Bay-that is. the cove immediately above Furber's Point or Ferry-place-is proved by the fact that all the lands above this cove-that is, up the Bay side-were, according to the Dover records, a part of the 400 acres granted to Dover above Hogsty Cove, as will be seen by reference to Furber's Point, Harwood's Creek, Herod's Point, Laighton's Cove, Long Point, etc.
When George Snell and Wm. Vaughan surveyed the bounds of Portsmouth, the 28th, 8 mo., 1695-6, they ran the line "from Cannye's Coue in the longe reche to Hogg Stye Coue at ye mouth of ye great Bay, and from the midle of the mouth of one Coue to ye midle of the mouth of ye other, is west, & by South and East & by north & strikes Mr. Williame ffur- bers Barne." (Portsmouth Records.)
This clearly defines the position of Hogsty Cove. It was "at ye mouth of ye Great Bay," and the line thereto from Canney's creek struck the barn of Wmn. Furber, who then lived at the Narrows between Great Bay and Little Bay, having been licensed, Dec. 11, 1694, to keep a ferry " from his house at Welchman's Cove over to Oyster River." (Ibid, 2: 147.) His farm at the ferry-place was given him by his father, Wm. Furber, in 1674, together with two dwelling- houses, a barn, etc., thereon. (See Puscataqua Rock.) The line from Canney's Creek through Wm. Fur- ber's barn could only terminate at the first cove above the Narrows or fer- ry-place.
Wm. Furber of Welch Cove, in the township of Dover, conveyed to his son Jethro, Ap. 3, 1706, a tract of 60 acres on which said Jethro then dwelt-being all the land from a white oak, called by the name of the bound tree between Dover and Portsmº, to a white oak near the line of the land given by said William to his son William by deed,-that is, all his land south of that line, which said Wm., senior, had of his father by a deed of gift, and so home to the land which his father gave his brother Jethro.
Jethro Furber of Portsmouth, Aug. 1, 1706, conveyed to John Biekford of Welch Cove in the township of Dover 100 acres of upland in the township of Portsmouth, at Long Poynt, bounded S. W. by the land of said John Bickford, S. E. by that of Thomas Laiton, E. by that of Wm. ffurber, Jr., and W. N. W. by that of Jethro ffurber, son of William.
The map in C. W. Tuttle's Histor- ical Papers, edited by Mr. A. H. Hoyt, (1889), supposes Laighton's Cove to be the ancient Hogsty Cove. And the present writer, in the first edition of "Landmarks in Ancient Dover," deferring to the opinion of others, makes the same statement. This, however, is certainly an error, for the old Laighton, Nutter, Dame, and Bickford lands, around and below Laighton's cove-that is, below in the sense of going down stream, though really in a northerly direc- tion-and even the southern portion of Wm. Furber's land, (see Furber's Point), are clearly stated in the Dover records to have been part of the 400 acres granted to Dover above Hogsty Cove. As the only cove be- tween these lands and the mouth of
106
Landmarks in Ancient Dover.
the Great Bay is the one immediately above Furber's Point or Ferry-place, this is undoubtedly the ancient Hog- sty Cove.
Moreover, the town of Portsmouth, Jan. 11, 1657, granted to Henrie and John Sherburne, Wm. Cotton, John Pickering, Geo. Walton, and Philip Lewis, " the tract of land more or lesse from Harrod's creek northward to Welchman's cove, excepting the grant by dover on the 400 acres, wth this proviso, they maintaininge all sutts (suits) of law against any that aposeth them, of there own proper cost, always acknowledging Ports- mouth as there towne in paying all publike charges thereunto." (Ports- mouth Town Records.)
A foot-note in the N. H. Prov. Pupers, (Vol. 3 : 227,) says Hogsty Cove was "a place where swine were driven from Exeter every spring." The court at Exeter, the 30th, first mo., 1641, ordered " that all the swine above { a year old and upwards are to be sent down into the great bay by the 10th day of the second month." (Ibid, 1: 142.)
HOGSTY POINT. Mentioned in 1652, when 40 acres of upland at Welsh- man's cove were granted to Thomas Layton in 1652, ten acres of which were laid out on hoggstie poynt. No further mention of these ten acres of upland is made. They perhaps in- trenched on the Furber grant at the mouth of the Great Bay. The other 30 acres were laid out at the head of Thomas Layton's marsh, the south bound being a Great Rock towards longe poynt. The name of Hogsty point has not been perpetuated, but it was probably on one side of Hog- sty cove.
HOITT'S CROSSING. This is a rail- way crossing on the turnpike road in Lee, near the Hoitt homestead, now belonging to Mr. Layn. A great amount of lumber is conveyed to market from this crossing, and it will probably be soon made a passenger station. There are five other railway crossings in Lee, but none of them stopping-places, viz : Pinkham's, on Newtown Plains ; Pendergast's, at the head of Wheelwright's pond ; Thompson's, between Little river mill and Nottingham ; and Obadiah Davis's, near the South Lee station.
HOLMES' BRIDGE. Mentioned June 23, 1701, when Edward Cloutman had a grant of 30 acres " between Co- checha and Nechewanick, as near holmes his bridge as may be." That same day 30 acres were granted to Benjn Waymouth, joining Edward Cloutman's land " near holmes bridg." Joseph Roberts conveyed to Samuel Randle, Feb. 27, 1726-7, 30 acres on the south side of the Salmon falls road (from Cochecho) " near Home's bridge," thence running S. S. E. to a hemlock in Jeremy Rollins' fence, then E. to an elm in a hollow near Thomas Nock's. This bridge seems to have been across the Twombley brook in Rollinsford, but the name is no longer in use. (See Otis' Bridge.)
HOOK-ISLAND FALLS, otherwise HOOK FALLS. These falls are in Lamprey river, on the east side of Lee Hook. They are called the " Hook falls" on the State map of Lee in 1803, but. are now generally called Hook Island falls, from an island that divides them.
HOOK MARSH. This marsh is in Madbury, in the vicinity of Bellamy
IO7
Landmarks in Ancient Dover.
Hook. It is mentioned May 30, 1738. (See Gooseberry Marsh.)
HOOPER'S POND. This is an arti- ficial pond on the Hooper farm in the Back River district, made by enlarg- ing the bed of Johnson's creek, which rises among the marshes not far be- yond.
HOPE HOOD'S POINT. This point, so called, according to the late C. W. Tuttle, as early as 1694, is on the western shore of Back river, above the Three Creeks. It is mentioned March 1, 1701, when John and Mary Tuttle conveyed to Richard Pinkham a parcel of land and marsh " lying and being at ye hed of the crike run- ninge upon the west side of Hoope Hood's Poynte, so called, and so through said Pinkham's 20 acres bonght of Philip Cromwell on ye west side of ye Bake river, and lying wthin ye southernmost line of that Twenty Acre loat by anny waies or menes whatsoever." Thomas Tuttle con- veyed to James Tuttle, May 3, 1740, a tract of salt marsh and upland in Dover, at a place commonly called Back River, beginning at a rock at Hope Woods Point, and running W. N. W. 34 rods by Pinkham's land.
The name of this point is derived from a noted Indian chief, said to have belonged to the Abenaki tribe. Dr. Quint says he was the saga- more Wahowah or Wohawa, chief of all the lands from Exeter to Salmon Falls. Hubbard, in his Narrative, calls him Hope Hood, and says he was the son of Robin Hood. The name of " mr. hope hoth" and that of " Old Robin" are affixed to a letter from John Hogkins May 15, 1685. (N. H. Prov. Pap., 1 : 583.) " Hoope Whood" and " Onld Robin " are also among
the signers of a deed of land at " Squammagonake " to Peter Coffin Jan. 3, 1686. It was Hoop Hood who led the attack on the Newicha- wannock settlement in 1690, as well as that on the Bloody Point shore soon after, which Mr. Tuttle endeav- ors to disprove. So noted did he become for his ferocity to the Eng- lish settlers that Mather, in his Mag- nalia, loads him with opprobrious epithets, such as "that memorable tygre," "that hellish fellow," etc. According to a local tradition he was killed in 1690, and buried on this point of land, which has ever since borne his name. It is a spot as wild and solitary as it was 200 years ago, covered with thickets where the wild grape runs from tree to tree, and where, it is affirmed, the groans of the Indian warrior are still to be heard from time to time among the moaning branches.
HOPPERS. There are several
" hoppers " within the limits of ancient Dover. The most important of these is mentioned Nov. 10, 1753, when the head line of Dover was per- ambulated. This line, in its course, is stated to lead " through a Vault in the earth, commonly known and called by the name of the Hopper. on the westerly side of Cochecho river, to the edge of the hill on the west- erly side of the said Vault." This Hopper is on the line between Dover and Barrington, on the Ezra Hayes farm, now in the tenure of his son-in- law, Mr. John Grey. The farm honse itself is within the Barrington line, at the southeast side of Green hill. There are three hoppers in this vicinity, the largest of which is the one above mentioned. It is a
108
Landmarks in Ancient Dover.
remarkable hollow in the woods, about 100 feet in depth, and 500 feet across. Full grown pines have been cnt in this Hopper for timber.
Another Hopper is in Madbury, near the site of Clark's garrison. It is a natural, tunnel-like hole in the ground, somewhat curious, but less remarkable than the three above mentioned.
HORNE'S HILL. Mentioned in 1834, when it is related that the Strafford Guards of Dover, returning from the inauguration of Gov. William Badger, were met at Horne's hill by Captain Moses Paul and a cavalcade of citi- zens, who escorted them into town. This hill is on Sixth street, at that time called the " new upper Factory road," and afterwards " Brick street," from a brickyard where is now Snow's tenement honse. The name is de- rived from Wm. Horne, to whom Nathaniel Starbuck conveyed 240 acres of land between Cochecho and Tolend Sept. 20, 1661. This land was originally granted to Elder Edward Starbuck in 1643.
Before the Cochecho railroad was built, the intervale on this shore was used by the Dover military com- panies for target practice, with Horne's hill for a background. The river at this place was long used by the Free Will Baptist Society for the rite of immersion, the bank being low, and the water shoal. It is now a favorite bathing-place.
HORN'S WOODS. The woods which have borne this name for two hun- dred years or more, are in the heart of the Lnbberland district, below the present road from Durham village to Newmarket. Thirty acres of land were granted to "Mr. Thomas Edgerlie, Sent., between Collies
marsh and the hornes," March 19, 1693-4, laid out March 29, 1699. The Edgerly family still own part of these woods. Ten acres, part of a 40 acre grant to John Doo (Doe) in 1694, were laid out to John Smith. Jr., Aug. 12, 1732, ". beginning at a black oak in Horn's woods, so called." (Durham Records.) Capt. John Smith's ten-acre lot "in the horn's woods, by the grassy swamp," is men- tioned Oct. 31, 1749. John Mason conveyed to Abraham Mathes Aug. 5, 1747, 16 acres of marsh and upland, commonly called Doe's marsh, "lying in a place commonly called the Horne's woods in Durham, being part of the estate of my honored grandfather John Doe, set off to my mother Mary Mason of Durham, wid- ow." Ninety acres in Horne's woods are mentioned in the inventory of Ab- raham Mathes' estate, Feb. 9, 1762. A highway from "Wormwood's into Horn's woods," bordering on the Edg- erly lands, is mentioned Dec. 26, 1743.
No Horns appear in the early rate- lists of Oyster River, but there were Hornes in Dover proper. The name may have been derived from John Haunce, who was taxed at Oyster River as early as 1655. Geo. Wal- ton, May 24, 1665, conveyed land on Great Island to " John Haunce of Oyster River, carpenter."
HORSEIIIDE BROOK. This name is sometimes given to that part of Den- bow's brook, where it crosses the Newmarket road at the south side of Broth Hill, in Durham. It was so named from a tan-yard formerly adjacent, belonging to Robert Jones. This brook has two branches, one of which rises at the Moat. It is per-
109
Landmarks in Ancient Dover.
haps " the little brook that cometh out of the mooet," mentioned in old grants. This unites with Denbow's brook, which rises in the Long marsh, and empties into the mill-pond above Durham falls. (See Denbow's Brook.)
HUCKINS' BROOK. This brook rises in Madbury, above the town-house, passes through the old Tasker lands- whence this part of it is often called the Tasker or Tasket brook,1-crosses the highway below the Miles honse, and, after being fed by the Pendexter springs farther down, comes into Durham, where it flows through the old Huckins land, east of the spot where stood the Huckins garrison, destroyed by the Indians in 1689. It is joined by the " Tom-Hall brook " a little below the place where the Huckins massacre occurred, and empties into Beard's creek.
Huckins' Mill was built on this stream at an early day. It is men- tioned Jan. 10, 1697-8. Among the Dover grants is recorded, Jan. 23, 1701, "libbertie of a Remone of ten Acres of land granted Robbart Huckins in 1664 at the head of his twenty acre lott on the west side of back riuer, to be laid out adjoining to his home land at oyster Riuer, on the west side of the brooke that drives his mill." This removal of Robert Huckins' grant seems to have been made in favor of his grandson Robert, son of James Huckins who was killed by the Indians in 1689. One fourth of this mill was sold by John Huckins to Capt. Samuel Emer- son, Oct. 24, 1727, for £30. The
receipt for this sum, still extant, de- clares,-" The said mill standeth on the stream called Huckins' brook." The entire mill and the Huckins lands were finally acquired by Capt. Emer- son and his sons. The mill is now gone, but the remains of the dam are still to be seen on that part of the brook which flows through the land of Mr. Ebenezer T. Emerson.
HUCKLEBERRY HILL. This is a high ridge on Dover neck, about three quarters of a mile below the bridge across Little John's creek. It is mentioned the 5th, 10 mo., 1659, when it was ordered that huckleberry hill, which had been laid out for a sheep pasture, should be divided for a public training place for the town- ship of Dover. "The way which doth lead from huckleberry hill to Cochecho " is mentioned in a convey- ance of land from the town to Jolin Tuttle, March 5, 1674-5. This hill commands an extensive and magnif- icent view across the Newichawan- nock on one side, and Back river on the other. And far down the Long Reach of the Pascataqua may be seen the spires of Portsmouth rising be- yond the fair shores of Newington, with beautiful hills and gleaming waters in every direction.
HUCKLEBERRY PLAIN. Mentioned March 19, 1693-4, when the town of Dover granted to Zachariah Trickey " that ffield he hath ffenced on ye hort- tleberry plain, with as much joining it as to make it twenty acres." This land was no doubt " zachery trickey's twenty acres in the pich pine plains "
2 The name of Tasker seems to have been thus corrupted at a very early period. Or Tasket may have been the original name. At any rate, it is written Tasket in the Dover rate-list of 1675, and in the court records of 1686. (See Farmer's Belknap, page 169, foot note.) John Tas- ket's name is on the muster-roll of Capt. James Davis's scouting party in 1712. And the name is frequently so called to this day in Madbury
