at Richard Yorke's marked tree in the Broad cove, and running thence by the water side 40 rods towards Needom's Point. In the grant of this land to " John Olt," the 10th, 8 mo., 1653, this cove is spoken of as " the Great cove above Needom's Point." Mention is made of it July 17, 1705, when Roger Rose of Portsmouth con- veyed to John Smith land and houses at Lubberland, in the town of Dover, bought of John York, beginning at a great white oak 2 or 3 poles above York's marsh, in the creek commonly called Goddard's creek, then N. by E. 60 rods to the middle of a valley or gutter, thence to the N. E. bound tree marked R. Y. and then S. E. to a tree in the Broad Cove. This cove is again mentioned Ap. 19, 1757, when Eleanor (Stevenson) McCalvey, widow, conveyed to Joseph Footman all her rights to land between that of Footman and Pinder, extending along a channel to a great rock near the head of Broad Cove. (See Needham's Cove and Point.)
There is a third Broad Cove on the Rollinsford shore of the Newicha- wannock river, mentioned March 27, 1701-2, when Jonas Hambleton con- veyed to Nicholas Waldron 20 acres of land at a place called broad cove, granted Thomas Young, bounded northerly by the lot of Joseph Jenk- ins ; easterly, at the lower end, by the Newichawannock river, where it measured 24 rods ; southerly by the lot of Jeremiah Tibbets, and westerly, at the upper end, by the lot of Thomas Roberts. John Haggins, of Berwick, admin' of the estate of Daniel Hag- gins, conveyed to John Tibbets, June 24, 1805, 8 acres of thatch ground at a place called Broad cove, beginning
at Samuel Hussey's fence at high water mark, and running E. 2 deg. S. 32 rods, at low water mark in the Newichawannock river. The name has not been retained.
BROAD COVE CREEK Or FRESHET. Mentioned in 1659 as "the freshett that goeth into Broad Cove." (See Dumpling Cove.) Geo. Walton con- veved to Eleazar Coleman, Feb. 27, 1718-19, 50 acres of land in Newing- ton, at a place called Broad Cove, bounded westerly by land of said Coleman, southerly by Wm. Shack- ford's, and northerly upon ye creek in broad cove, being all that parcel of land formerly Capt. Henry Lang- star's, except ten acres sold to Sam- uel and John Shackford. This brook is generally called Carter's brook, but often takes the name of the adjoin- ing proprietor. (See Carter's Brook.)
BROAD MARSH. This marsh is in Durham, between Long marsh and the Moat. It is mentioned May 17, 1705, when Sarah Nutter, " widdo of Anthony Nutter, late of Dover, de- ceased," and their sons, John, Hat- euil, and Harry, sold Roger Roase (Rose) of Portsmouth, 128 acres be- tween Lampereel river falls and Oys- ter river falls, laid out to said An- thony Dec. 1, 1662. This land began at the north-east end of an island, evidently the Moat island, and in- cluded " all the Broad Marsh at ye end of ye Long marsh," except two acres at the head of it laid out to Thomas ffuttman. The whole tract included fifty acres of upland granted Hateuil Nutter, father of Anthony, in 1643, and sixty acres adjoining, afterwards given Anthony, on the south-east side of his marsh, extend- ing to a " hollow near the lower end

of the moat," and up that hollow to the head of another marsh, no doubt Moharimet's.
A Broad marsh on the Greenland shore is mentioned Ap. 9, 1729. (See Wigwam Point.)
BROAD TURN. Mentioned March 19, 1693-4, when Mark Giles had a grant of 20 acres " as near the Broad turn as may be." This grant was laid out May 30, 1702, on the south side of Barbadoes way, above the broad turn. The right of a highway four rods wide was reserved, to go through this land "from the broad turne into the ash swamp." Ralph Twombley had a grant of 30 acres "near the broad turn in Cochecha swamp," March 19, 1693-4. It was laid out to Wm. Twombley, " succes- sor of Ralph Twombley, Jr., de- ceased," Nov. 4, 1702, on the N. E. side of the way from the Broad turn to Barbados. The bounds of the ancient cartway, five rods wide, that led from Tolend falls into the Co- checho swamp, were renewed March 4, 1703-4, running on a W. by S. point, as the way then went, till it met with the other way that led " from broad turne into said swamp." John Haise conveyed to Ichabod Haise, Aug. 15, 1721, twenty acres of land " in Dover, near Cochechoh, at a place called by ye name of broad turn or Littleworth, bounded 40 rods by the highway, and 80 rods by Wm. Twombley's land on the N. E. and S. W."
BROOKIN'S MARSH. Mentioned Nov. 28, 1804, when Valentine Mathes conveyed to John Bunker two acres of upland, salt marsh, and thatch- bed, situate and lying in Durham, adjoining Jones's creek, and com-
monly called Brookin's Marsh, bound- ed north by Jacob Joy's land, west by the creek aforesaid, and southerly and easterly by said Bunker's land. This small marsh was so named from Wm. Brooking, who is mentioned Oct. 16, 1684, when Thomasine Ma- thews, relict of ffrancis Mathews of Oyster River, out of love and affec- tion to Will Brooking, ye son of God- ferie Brooking, deceased, her well beloved grandchild, conveyed to him three acres of upland and a parcel of marsh adjoining the north-east side of Johnson's creek, with half an acre on the S. W. side of said creek.
Godfrey Brooking was drowned at the Isles of Shoals Dec. 10, 1681, leaving a wife and four small chil- dren. Wm. ffollet of Oyster River calls Hannah Brooking, apparently the widow of Godfrey, his " daughter- in-law." (N. H. Prov. Pap., 17 : 610.)
WVm. Brakin is mentioned among the men sent over by Capt. John Mason in 1631.
BROTH HILL. This is a well known height at the south end of Durham village, commanding a beautiful view of the Oyster river valley and the hilly, winding village beyond, in its most picturesque aspect. The ham- let on this hill is quite distinct from the village proper, and is the centre of one of the old school-districts, generally called the " Broth-Hill dis- trict." There is a story that this name was given in derision of the favorite dish of the workmen once employed in the Durham ship-yards, for whom several cottages had been built on this height. But it was no doubt derived from the Coolbroth or Colbath family that once lived here
32

-a name since happily illustrated by Vice-President Henry Wilson, whose name originally was Colbath.
The Rev. Curtis Coe of Durham gives another variation of this name in his record of the burial of "Down- ing Colbroath," Dec. 14, 1785.
BROWN'S BROOK. This name is some- times given to the easterly portion of Peter's Marsh brook, between the part called Tate's brook and the Salmon Falls river into which it empties.
BROWN'S HILL. This hill is in Durham, north of Woodman's garri- son, on the old road to Dover. The Durham records mention it May 3, 1779, when the town appointed " Ebenezer Thompson, Esq., and John Smith. 3d, to agree with Mr. Jonathan Woodman for a strip of land in his pasture to make the road more convenient over Brown's Hill (so called) . and to convey to sª Woodman in exchange therefor all the right that the town has to the landing-place at the head of Wood- man's Creek " (Beard's Creek).
BUCK's HILL. This name is given to a hill in Durham, a little east of Huckins brook, on the way from Bagdad to the Back River district.
BUMFAGGIN. Forty-two acres of land in Barrington, " at a place called Bumfaggin," are mentioned June 18, 1811, in the inventory of the estate of John Layn of Newtown, Lee. Bumfaggin woods are in the western part of Barrington, below Stonehouse Pond. Bumfaggin road leads through these woods into Nottingham. The name is said to be associated with the noted Leathers tribe.
BUMFORD'S PLAINS. So called from Robert Bumford of Barrington, who, Feb. 23, 1760, conveyed to his son
Robert 50 acres "in the two Mile Streak, so called, being all that lot of land where I now dwell, which I bought of George Jaffrey, Esq., de- ceased." In the time of Hatevil Bumford, the first half of this centu- ry, Bumford's plains were used as a training field for the county militia. " Barrington Training" day drew an immense crowd to these plains every year, or to the other training-ground near the old meeting-house in Bar- rington.
BUNKER'S CREEK. This is the first inlet on the easterly side of Oyster river below Johnson's creek. The name is derived from James Bunker, who was at Oyster River as early as 1653, and built a garrison near this creek. Bunker's creek is often mentioned in the county and town records of the last two hundred years. Wm. Hill conveyed to Henry Hill, Nov. 11, 1734, one third of the farm in Durham where said Henry then lived, adjoining a creek commonly called Bunker's creek, on the north side, beginning at a red oak at the head of this creek, then running north to Henry Rines's land, and along this land to the land Joseph Jenkins bought of Wm. Clay. A grist-mill on Bunker's creek is men- tioned May 8, 1768, when Eliphalet Hill conveyed to Clement Meserve one fourth of this mill which he bought of Jonathan Bunker.
Bunker's bridge is on the first N. H. turnpike road, across this creek. There was a double stone dam at this bridge the first half of this cen- tury, with a tide-mill. adjoining, but they are both now gone. The brook that empties into Bunker's creek is sometimes called the Dirty Slough.
33

Bunker's Lane is mentioned March 17, 1857, when Daniel Smith con- veyed to James M. Bunker 107 acres in Durham, bounded westerly by Bunker's lane, so called, and the Mill Pond. This lane is the old road across Follet's Rocky bill.
BUNKER'S NECK. Mentioned June 23, 1701, when a strip of land was granted Nathaniel Lumas (Lamos) and Richard Clay " between Stories hundred acres and bunker's neck, to be equally divided, bounded on sto- ries hundred acres on the north-east and bunker's neck on the south- west."
Richard and Mary Clay, Ap. 6, 1702, conveyed to Samuel Perkins " four or five acres of land between James Bunker's Neck and Follett's hundred acre lott, with other lands adjacent thereto."
Bunker's Neck is in Durham, on the upper side of Oyster river, be- tween Johnson's creek and Bunker's creek. William Follet and James Bunker, the 10th, 8 mo., 1653, had a grant of all that neck of land between Thomas Johnson's creek and Oyster point, " from ye head of Johnson's creek where ye salt marsh ends, to ye head of ye other creek where Jonas Bine's marsh is, except William Sto- rey and Mr. Mathews's grants, and likewise ye cartways for the trans- porting of timber."
BURGETT PARK. This is a place of popular entertainment at the lower side of Willand's Pond, adjoining the electric railway from Dover to Great Falls. So called from Mr. H. W. Burgett, the proprietor, who, Oct. 1, 1890, acquired 20 acres of land for this purpose from the heirs of Rufus Ham, eastward of Mr. Benj" Hus-
sey's, and on the same side of the highway. See Railroads, h. 215
BURNT GROUND. Mentioned March 19, 1693-4, when Joseph Meader had a grant of 30 acres of " land and swamp" on the S. W. side of the path to the burnt ground bridge, in Follet's swamp. This is apparently the bridge across Oyster river, below Dishwater mill. Philip Chesley's grant of 30 acres was laid out Jan. 23, 1701, above Thomas Wille's, upon the burnt ground. It was on the north side of the road from Oyster River to Newtown. The name is in- dicative of an extensive fire in the forest in early times. See Munsays Budge, SI
BUZZELL'S HILL. This hill is on the cross road from Madbury to the First N. H. turnpike-road, between the Samuel Demeritt house and that of Mr. I. Blake Hill ; the former of which is in Lee, and the latter in Durham. The boundary line between these two towns crosses the brow of this hill, and the road crosses Oyster river at its foot, on the Lee side. It is familiarly called Buzzy Hill.
CALDWELL'S BROOK. This brook rises in Barrington, one branch at Creek pond, and the other in Great swamp, back of the Two-Mile school- house. These branches unite, and form what is otherwise called Maple brook, which empties into Oyster river above Wheelwright's pond. Wm. Caldwell acquired land in New- town the middle of the last century. at or near Bunker's corner. (See Maple Brook.)
CALVES-PEN ISLAND. Mentioned Ap. 1, 1662, when " a tract of land and marsh on the north side of Win- nicot river in ye Great Bay " was divided between Philip Lewis on one
34
Landmarks in Ancient Dover.
side, and Thomas Nock and Henry Tibbets on the other; said Lewis binding himself to lay no claim to " the marsh yt lyeth within ye bounds of the calres-pen marsh," except what had already been laid out to him on the N. W. side of the island, com- monly called and known by ye name of ye calves-pen island, sitnate within ye Great bay aforesaid." Philip Lewis's land fell to his daughter Hannah, wife of John Johnson, who also acquired the marsh of Henry Nock of Oyster river, which was half of the marsh that previously belonged to his grandfather Tibbets on the north side of Winnicot river. John Johnson and Hannah conveyed the above land and marsh to Nathaniel Huggins May 25, 1696.
Calves-Pen island is no longer to be traced. It was probably an island at high tide, that has disappeared with the draining of the marshes.
CAMPIN'S ROCKS. This name is given to a well-known ledge that pro- jects from the right bank of the Co- checho, at the Narrows. It is men- tioned in a grant to Joseph Sanders in 1660,1 and again Oct. 25, 1669, when he sold John Heard 30 acres "on Dover Neck, near Cochecho, right up from Campin's Rocks," join- ing Tobias Hanson's land. Jabez Garland and wife Dorcas, July 7, 1694, conveyed to Timothy Hanson 30 acres of land "upon Dover Neck, near Campon's Rocks," laid ont to Joseph Sanders, and sold by him to Jolin Heard, and given by John Heard, deceased, to his daughter Dorcas, wife of said Jabez. This traet was adjacent to the lands of
Timothy, Thomas, and Tobias Han- son. Richard Seammon conveyed to Joseph Estes, March 23, 1738-9, 4 acres and 32 rods of land on " ye southerly side of ye road from Coche- cho down to ye landing at Campain's Rocks," adjoining the land that was James Hanson's. The name of these Roeks is otherwise written. They are called Camping rocks in a grant to the Rev. Mr. Sever in 1711, and Champion's rocks in a deed from Samuel Alley to Job Clement, March 28, 1758. Campin is no doubt a cor- ruption of Campion or Champion. A Robert Champion of Dover is men- tioned in 1657, when a jury of twelve men, "sworn to inquire into his death," declared that he had been drowned by accident. ( County Rec- ords, Exeter.) This may be a key to the popular tradition that Campin's rocks were so called from a man who, pursued hither by the Indians, was forced to jump into the river in order to escape. A Clement Campion is mentioned as early as 1644, when he brought a suit against Wm. Payne for carrying pine staves and masts into the Bay, for which Payne was fined 20 shillings and costs. (County Rec- ords, Exeter.) He seems to have lived in Portsmouth. "Master" Clement Campione's house is spoken of, Jan. 12, 1652, as opposite Fur- son's island, now Noble's, which is on the right side of the Pascataqna river, a little below Cutt's cove. It stood no doubt on Campion's Neck, mentioned July 10, 1655, which com- prised the land from the North bury- ing-ground to Raine's shipyard in Portsmouth.
1 Joseph Sanders was killed by the Indians June 28, 1689.

CAMPRON RIVER. This name is given to Lamprey river the 27th, 10 mo .. 1647, in a grant of the mill priv- ilege thereon to Ambrose Gibbons and others. "Camperon " is men- tioned in a law-suit of 1713. This was probably an error of the recorder. The name of Lumprone is repeatedly given to this river in the town records of Exeter. (See Bell's Hist. of Exe- ter, p. 437.)
CAMSOE, otherwise CAMSIE and CAMPSEY. Mentioned in David Kin- caid's will of June 13, 1719, in which he gives his " loving wife Anne." 40 acres of land he bought of Moses Davis, Sr., "now called by ye name of Campse." Ann Kincaid conveyed to Robert Thompson, Aug. 14, 1723, 40 acres of land at Oyster river, given her in the last will and testament of David Kincaid,1 deceased, commonly called by the name of Camsoe. It is also mentioned in the Durham rec- ords, Jan. 29, 1733-4, when a road was laid out on the north side of the mast path, "beginning at a place called Camsey, at the S. W. corner of Mr. Robert Tomson's fence," and extending to Willey's way in New- town, and by that way to the head of the town.
This land lies along the banks of Oyster river, on the north side of the mast road, on the confines of Lee and Durham. It no longer bears the name of Camsoe ; but a spring thereon, remarkable for the purity of its water, is still known as " Camsie spring." A popular tradition attrib-
utes this name to an Indian who is said to have frequented this spring in early times. The name, however, does not appear till after the land was purchased by David Kincaid. A similar name is found in Scotland, whence the Kincaids are said to have sprung. Scott, in his " Legend of Montrose," sings of the fishermen, who,
" On St. Bridget's morn,
Drew nets on Campsie side."
Claverhouse's black book in " Old Mortality " mentions " a conventicle among the Campsie hills." Alexan- der Smith also speaks of the Campsie hills, and quotes the old song :
"The Campsie Duke 's a-riding, a-riding, a-rid- ing."
And the Earl of Huntingdon, in the "Fortunes of Nigel," longs to "hear the Tay once more flinging himself over the Campsie Linn."
CANAAN. This name is given to a district in Barrington, above the Two- Mile Streak. It is mentioned on Holland's map of 1784.
CANNEY'S BRIDGE. Mentioned in the Madbury records of 1794, when Moses Canney furnished plank for the repair of this bridge. It is on the Mallego river, in the upper part of Madbury.
CANNEY'S BROOK. This brook rises in the swampy lands in the upper part of Dover Neck, and is fed by Canney's spring, an abundant, never- failing source of excellent water on the old Canney land, in the rear of Mr. S. R. Horne's house. The brook crosses the so-called " Middle
1 This was the " David Kinked," who, according to the Rev. John Pike's journal, was attacked Sept. 8, 1708, by three Indians at his house "some considerable distance from Woodman's garrison," but " thro Mercy " he and his lad made their escape. He died in February, 1722-3, but his son lived to go to the siege at Louisbourg. Kincaid's Brook is mentioned in the Durham records of 1765. The name is usually pronounced Kink-et, and is sometimes found so written.

road " a little below the house, and further down is joined by Varney's brook on the land of Mr. Wm. P. Tuttle. At the head of tide water it becomes Little John's creek.
It is related of Thomas Canney, a sea captain of the last century, that, drinking one day at his ancestral spring, he fell in, and came near be- ing drowned. "A pretty story it would have been for the newspapers," he exclaimed when rescued, "that Capt. Canney, after sailing all around the world, only came home to get drowned in Tom Canney's spring !" This Capt. Canney, an esteemed member of the Society of Friends, died May 16, 1805, aged 95.
CANNEY'S CREEK Or COVE, otherwise KENNEY's.1 This is an inlet from the Pascataqua river, on the eastern shore of Newington, and one of the bounds of ancient Dover. It derived its name from Thomas Canney, or Canning, of the Dover Combination of 1640, who, as early as 1652, had a grant of land on the upper side of this creek, which was afterwards acquired by James Rawlins. It is mentioned in 1657, when the lower bounds of Dover were defined as run- ning " from Kenney's creek to Hogsty Cove, with all the marsh from that place round about the bay up to Cot- terill's Delight, with four hundred acres of upland adjoining." The
lower boundary of Dover, as recorded in 1701, ran from the middle of Quamphegan falls down the river to Hilton's Point; thence to Kenney's creek, and thence in a direct line to Hogsty Cove, and from this cove to the mouth of Lamprey river.
A tract of 240 acres was laid out to Capt. Bryan Pendleton next to James Rawlins, Dec. 5, 1661, begin- ning at Kenney's Cove, and running down by the river 80 rods to pyne cove, etc. (See Pine Cove.) James Rawlins, Ang. 25, 1662, mortgaged to Bryan Pendleton 100 acres of land "lying in the long reach, from Can- ney's cove upward nyntie od pole by ye water side, and so up into the woods, together with the land in til- lage, with ye corn upon it, and his then dwelling house, with two cows." This mortgage seems to have been redeemed, for James Rawlins sold the Canney land to Matthew Nelson Sept. 12, 1679. Nelson sold it to George Huntress. "George Huntris," in his will of June 8, 1715, gives his sons, Samuel and John, his farm where they then dwelt, lying by the side of the Long Reach, part of which he bought of Matthew Nelson, part of John Pickering, and part of Wm. Vaughan, the whole containing 150 acres, part of which lay "in the township of Portsmouth, and part in Newington, which was Dover."2
1 Canney's Creek is called King's creek in the Mass. records May 22, 1656. (See N. H. Prov. Pap., I : 222.) The latter name may have been given it by the settlers at Strawberry Bank, from Richard King, who, as early as 1649, owned Clampering island, now Leach's, further down the river.
2 The Pickering land, above mentioned, was, in part, a tract of 35 acres conveyed to John Pickering, Jr., by Benjamin Rawlins Sept. 13, 1689, bounded by ye land formerly bought by Mat- thew Nelson, beginning at ye riverside, by ye edge of ye bank, and running along Nelson's land 129 rods, then north 43 rods, with the same breadth down straight to the river, and so to the first bound, keeping said breadth of river at the other end : and, in part, a grant of six acres from the town of Dover to John Pickering Ap. 16, 1694, and laid out to Geo. Huntress, Sr., June 16, 1699. For the Vaughan land, see the Gore.
37
Landmarks in Ancient Dover.
Samuel and Jonathan Huntress, Ap. 3, 1758, made a division of their farm of 71 acres, held in common, bounded north by the land of Sam1 Rawlins' heirs, east by the Pascata- qua river, south by the land of Sam- uel Brown of Salem, and westerly by the road leading to Portsmouth. With the record of this division, in the County Registry, is a plan of said farm, including Kenney's creek or cove. Jonathan's portion extended to the mouth of this cove. Samuel's part was above, " with the right of a road two roads wide to a watering place near Kenny's cove." Samnel Huntress died shortly after this divi- sion was made, and was buried near the " Upper Huntress," on land now owned by Miss Mary Huntress. His gravestone bears the following in- scription : " Here lies the body of Samuel Huntress, died April 28, in the yr 1758, aged 71 ys."
The above-mentioned Huntress land, as shown, extended south to the land of Samuel Browne of Salem. And Jonathan Huntress, in the convey- ances of his portion to Gideon Walker at a later day, describes it as bounded south by Wm. Browne of Salem. The Brown land was the old Vanghan land, originally granted to Brian Pendleton, extending from Kenney's creek to Pine cove. It was acquired by Wm. King of Salem, son of Mary (Vaughan) King, who conveyed it to Samuel Brown Ap. 20, 1738. The deed describes it as bounded north by the Huntress land. This land, amounting to 400 acres, ex- tended into the pitch-pine plains of Newington. It was conveyed by Wm. Browne of Salem to James Stoodly Feb. 21, 1770. Wm. Stoodly,
son of James. sold this land to Na- thaniel Folsom, March 26, 1790, and confirmed the sale by another deed of Aug. 7, 1792, after which it became known as the Folsom farm. Over 54 acres of this farm were afterwards acquired by the Frink brothers, who sold this tract to Winthrop Pickering May 12, 1856. The deed describes it as bounded north by the land of Amos Dow (previously Walker's or the Huntress land) and extending south along the river to land formerly owned by Samuel Hill, deceased. Winthrop Pickering conveyed this land to Stephen Paul, Ap. 29, 1862. Whence it is evident that the Kenney or Canney's creek of early times, which in part separated the Huntress land from the Pendleton land-after- wards Browne's, then Stoodly's, and then Folsom's land-was the one now known as Paul's creek. It has been obstructed and greatly disfigured by the railway, but its former dimen- sions can still be traced.
CANNEY'S ISLAND, otherwise KEN- NEY'S. This island is mentioned Ap. 23, 1743, when John and Prudence Johnson of Durham conveyed to Samuel Weeks two acres of salt marsh in Greenland, bounded on the S. E. side by Wille's creek, on the S. W. side by Kenes creek, and on the N. W. by an island called Kenies Island. Samuel Weeks, in his will of Sept. 15, 1745, gives his son Mat- thias " the island lying by the Great Bay called Kenney's island." This island is about half a mile above Winnicot river, and is now owned by Mr. J. Clement Weeks. It is a finely wooded upland of 20 acres on the shore of Great Bay, between Can- ney's creek and Willey's creek, which
