FANCY HILL. Mentioned July 23, 1735, when 20 acres of land were laid out to Ichabod Canney on the S. W. side of the road from Little- worth to the Saplings, at a place called Fancy Hill, beginning at Joseph Hanson's east corner, and running along his land S. W. to his south corner, then along the com- mons and Wm. Twombley's land to the road. and by the road to the first bound. The name of Fancy hill has not been perpetuated, but it seems to have been the hill a little west of Barbadoes Pond, which affords a pleasant view across the pond, with the city of Dover farther east, and Garrison Hill and other heights in the distance.
FIELD'S MARSII. This was a small marsh in the Durham Point district, mentioned in the Durham records of 1764 as next the parsonage lands.
1 Moses Emerson was appointed commissary in the Revolutionary army in 1775. He had four brothers in the army, one of whom was Capt. Nehemiah Emerson of Haverhill, Mass. They descended from Jonathan Emerson, of Haverhill, brother of Capt. Samuel Emerson of Oyster River. The second wife of Moses Emerson was a Taylor, a great granddaughter of Gov. Edward Winslow of Mass., and a near relative of Gov. John Taylor Gilman's mother, of Exeter. She died in Durham, and lies buried in the Thompson burial-ground, near the residence of Mr. Lucien Thompson.

The county records speak of Nicholas Follet's dwelling-house, July 22, 1680, as standing on land adjoining Joseph Field's marsh. Joseph was the brother of Zacharias Field who settled in the Back River district. He was taxed at Oyster River in 1657. They are supposed to have been the sons of Darby Field, who is noted as the first of our colonists to make the ascent and give an account of the White mountains. Gov. Win- throp speaks of him as an Irishman, but Bell's History of Exeter says there is some reason to suppose him connected with the Hutchinson's of the Antinomian controversy in Mass- achusetts. Most writers regard him as one of the early settlers at Exeter, N. H., but there is no proof that he ever lived there. Like Francis Mathews, he subscribed to the Exeter Combination of 1639, but they both settled on what was then debatable land between Exeter and Dover proper, known as the Oyster River settlement, now Durham, where Darby Field owned land as early as 1639. Wm. Beard conveyed to Francis Mathews, June 16, 1640, his house and land at Oyster River " next adjoining ye land of Darbey ffield." Darby Field was still living at Oyster River in 1644, when he was licensed to sell wine. This was no doubt at Durham Point, where stood his dwelling-house, which, with part of his land, he conveyed to Jolin Bickford June 17, 1645. (See Bickford's Garrison.) He was still living at Oyster River, however, in 1649, when he had a case in court. And here he no doubt died about two years later. Ambrose Gibbons was appointed " administrator of ye estate
of darbey ffield, deceased, at ye court holden in Dover ye 1, 8 mo., (16)51."
FIELD'S PLAINS. This name is generally given to the level sandy tract between Dover and Durham, in the upper part of the Back River Dis- trict. It includes the Dry Pines and Pitch-pine plains of early times, and Clarke's plains of a later day. They are so named from Zacharias Field, who acquired land on these plains more than 200 years ago, and here built his garrison. Mention is made of them May 9, 1768, when Paul Giles conveyed to Stephen Evans three acres of land on the westerly side of the main road from Cochecho to Durham at a place called Field's Plains, beginning at the northerly corner of Clement Meserve's land, adjoining said road, and running westerly by his land to Evans' other land, which three acres said Giles purchased of his honored father-in- law Jolin Field, deceased. Stephen Evans and wife Lydia conveyed to Clement Meserve, Ap. 7, 1773, 58 acres at a place called Field's plains, on the right hand side of the road from Dover to Durham, bounded westerly by said Meserve's land, southerly by Capt. Shadrach Hodg- don's, northerly by a highway, and easterly by the aforesaid road to Durham. (See Dry Pines and Field's Garrison.)
FIELDEN'S BROOK, otherwise FIELD- ING'S. Mentioned in the Report of the committee for the supply of water in Great Falls, Dec. 2, 1890. It is a small brook that runs through the old Hanson lands on the west side of Prospect Hill, at the upper end of Great Falls village, and empties into the Salmon Falls river. The name
72
Landmarks in Ancient Dover.
is derived from a family that lived there the first half of this century. It is properly Hanson's brook.
FLAGGY HOLE. This place is men- tioned in the Madbury records. It is a " bog-hole," or low swamp, at the foot of Perry's hill, nearly a mile above Hicks's hill. Two brooks have their source in this bog, on the south side of the road to Barrington. One flows south-west into Oyster river, and the other flows north into the Bellamy. The latter crosses the road, and the bridge over it is called in the town records "Flaggy Hole Brook bridge."
FLAGGY SWAMP. Mentioned July 13, 1721, when one half of Joseph Jenkins' grant of 40 acres near Gal- lows Hill, afterwards removed, was laid out to his son William. One bound of this land was a maple tree in Flaggy swamp. Wm. Jenkins seems to have settled in the vicinity of Wednesday Hill, but he also owned land near the Frog pond, Back River, mentioned in 1771. Joseph Jenkins, however, had land in 1751 in the vicinity of Flaggy Hole in Madbury.
FOLLET'S BROOK. This brook rises in Lee, on Mr. Geo. Yorke's land, at a source called Sam's spring from Samuel Davis, a former owner of the land. It flows through Follet's marsh in the Packer's Falls district, Dur- ham, and finally empties into the Pascassick river near the Boston & Maine railway.
FOLLET'S PATH, otherwise FOLLET'S BRIDGE PATH. (See Dirty Brook) .
FOLLET'S ROCKY HILL. Mentioned Ap. 9, 1703, when a road from the
Oyster bed was laid out along the west side of Follet's Rocky hill, above Fol- let's barn. tlien along the east side of the next rocky hill to Abraham Clark's. This hill is on the upper side of Oyster riyer, near the head of Bunker's creek, so called from Wm. Follet, who, with James Bunker, had a grant of a point of land, afterwards called Bunker's neck, Oct. 10, 1653. Follet's share was sold to James Bunker March 28, 1707, by Nicholas Follet of Portsmouth. (See Bunker's Neck.)
FOLLET'S SWAMP. This swamp is frequently mentioned in the old grants and deeds at Dover and Exeter, and in the early records of Durham. Ap. 2, 1694, John Thompson, Sr., had a grant of land from the town of Dover in Follet's swamp at Oyster River, on the north side of the mast path. And this John Thompson, in his will of Ap. 12, 1733, gives his son Jonathan his land at Follet's swamp on the south side of the mast path " where he (Jonathan) now dwells." Forty acres of land, granted to Eli Demerit1 Ap. 11, 1694, were laid out to him May 31, 1699, at the south-east side of fjollet's swamp, bounded north by Jonathan Woodman's land, leaving a path 4 rods wide on one side, for cattle to go into the woods. Eli Demerit, in his will of Nov. 12, 1739, gives his son Ely all his lands " at a place commonly called and known by the name of Follet's swamp, in the town of Durham." This land formed part of the estate afterwards inher- ited by his great-grandsons, Nathaniel and Israel, and still owned by their
1 This name, in one record of the original grant, is written (no doubt phonetically) " Eli Demrey;" and in another record of the same grant " Eli De Miret." The Rev. Hugh Adams, a contemporary of said Eli, writes it " De Merit " in his church records.

descendants. Thomas Johnson's 100 acre grant near Philip Chesley's, laid out to Stephen Jones July 19, 1715, was, when re-surveyed for Joseph Jones, March 14, 1745-6, declared to be "at a place commonly called follet's swamp." " Lieut. Jones' fence near follet's swamp" is mentioned Ap. 4, 1752. His land was above the De- merit farm, on the borders of Oyster river. This shows that Follet's swamp not only extended along the Mast road, but up the river, and in the direction of Beech Hill.
This swamp is again mentioned June 5, 1764, when Ebenezer Jackson conveyed to Jonathan Thompson 24 acres of land in Durham, " being one half of the land that belonged to his honored grandfather Ichabod Follet, deceased, lying at a place commonly called and known by the name of Follet's Swamp," reserving the rights of the widow Prudence Follet during her natural life. Robert Leathers and wife Deborah (Follet) conveyed to Jonathan Thompson, Nov. 21, 1763, one half of the farm where lived Ichabod Follet, deceased, be- ginning at said Thompson's land, and running along the Mast road to Oys- ter river, then by said river and John Laskey's land to the land of Joseph Smith, and by Smith's land to that of Jonathan Thompson, also reserv- ing said Prudence's rights.
" Follet's Swamp (school) district " is mentioned in the Durham records of 1794. It is now called the " Mast- road district."
Another FOLLET'S SWAMP is in the vicinity of Packer's falls, on the upper side of Lamprey river, where Wm. Follet had a grant of six acres in "Mahomet's Marsh " the 7th, 6 mo.,
1661, and another grant of 100 acres of upland near " Mohermit's marsh," the 18th, 10 mo., 1663. (See Mo- harimet's Marsh.) William Follet was in Dover as early as 1649, and John Follet belonged to the Dover Combination of 1640.
A third FOLLET'S SWAMP is men- tioned in the Durham records of 1820, when the heirs of Jeremiah Brackett were taxed in Durham for land " at Follet's swamp in Packer's Falls." This land is on the south side of Lamprey river, and is now owned by Mr. James McDaniel. But in the middle of the last century it was in the possession of a Follet, whose cel- lar may still be traced. The name, however, has been corrupted, and the swamp and a neighboring brook are now often called Follard's marsh and brook. (See Follet's Brook.)
FOOTMAN'S ISLANDS. These islands, two in number, are near the Lubber- land shore of Great Bay, not far above Crummit's creek. They are now owned by Dr. Elkins of New- market. The name was derived from Thomas Footman, who, the 10th, 8 mo., 1653, had the grant of an island containing one acre of land, more or less, in the mouth of the Great Bay. In his will of Aug. 14, 1667, he men- tions his house, with 80 acres of land adjacent, and the "island laying against the house." The other island is insignificant.
FORD'S CROSSING. This is a cross- ing on the Portsmouth and Dover R. R., at the lower end of Dover Neck, adjoining the land of Mr. George Ford.
FORD'S LANDING. See Wingate's Slip.
FORE RIVER. This name was given by the early settlers on Dover Neck
74
Landmarks in Ancient Dover.
to that part of the Newichawannock on the fore or east side of this Neck. Fore river is repeatedly mentioned in the old grants and deeds of land adja- cent.
FOWLING MARSH. Mentioned Aug. 6, 1691, when John Roberts gave his grandsons, Wm. and John Roberts, " a piece of marsh lying on Necho- wannck side, commonly called ye fowling marsh," with the flats belong- ing thereto. This name has not been perpetuated, but the land referred to was evidently in the lower part of Rollinsford.
Fox BROOK. "Edward ffox of Greenland, belonging to Portsmouth," conveyed to Joshua Weeks May 14, 1698, 30 acres of upland "lying within ye bounds of Portsmouth or Dover," bounded N. W. and N. E. by Great Bay, S. W. by land in pos- session of Samuel King, and east by Wm. Shackford's, then in possession of Joshua Weeks. John Dockum conveyed to his oldest son John, June 6, 1713, a tract of land south- east from ye corner of ye road oppo- site Christopher Keniston's, running W. S. W. by Alexander Keniston's to fjox brook. This was, of course, above Winnicot river, but the name of Fox brook is no longer in use.
Fox POINT. This point is so called Sept. 14, 1642. (See Royali's Cove.) It is on the Newington shore of the Pascataqua river, between Lit- tle Bay and Broad Cove. It is nearly half a mile long, and is the most prominent headland on that side of the river. Its name is sup- posed to have been given by the hunters of early times, who drove
the foxes they pursued into this long narrow neck, whence it was impossi- ble to make their escape. It is said to have been an old Indian " drive," where the aborigines brought the wild deer to bay in a similar manner.
This point was originally owned by John Bickford of Oyster River. " Thirty acres of upland on fox poynt" were granted John Bickford, Sr., by the town of Dover, the 10th, 8 mo., 1653, and laid out by Robert Burnum and John Davis, beginning at a marked tree near Thomas Trick- ey's marsh on "the letell baye sied," and extending to " a marked tree at the broad cove on the other sied of the necke."
May 13, 1677, John Bickford and Temperance his wife, "out of love and affection to their daughter Mary, wife of Nicholas Harryson of Oyster River," conveyed to her " twenty acres of land in Dover, bounded on one part by the river of Piscataqua where it leads into Little Bay, said land known by the name of fox poynt, granted unto said Bickford by the town of Dover." Nicholas Har- rison, in his will of March 5, 1707,1 gives his son-in-law John Downing and wife Elizabeth, as his eldest daughter, " all his housing, orchards, and lands, at ffox pointe," given him by his father-in-law John Bickford. James Burnam of Oyster River, and Temperance his wife, July 8, 1713, conveyed to John Downing of fox point in ye township of Dover, two lots at or near ye head of broad Cove at ffox point, one containing 11 acres, and the other 19 acres, which lots were granted by Dover to Mr. Nich-
1 The Rev. John Pike says, " Nicholas Harrison died strangely insensible of any spiritual good," Ap. 11, 1708.

olas Harrison, and bequeathed by him to Temperance his daughter.
Fox Point was the Newington ter- minus of the old Pascataqua bridge from the Durham shore. Richard Downing of Newington, Nov. 12, 1793, " for the sum of five shillings, but more especially for the encourage- ment of building a bridge over the Piscataqua river at and from Fox Point," conveyed to the proprietors of said bridge " one acre, to be laid out in square form, upon any part of my farm at Fox Point, now in posses- sion of my son Bartholomew, where said proprietors may think proper to build said bridge and from my farm," on condition that the deed be null and void if the bridge be not com- menced within two years and com- pleted as directed by the act of incorporation.
Fox Point1 remained in possession of the Downing family till the pres- ent century. It is now chiefly owned by the heirs of Dr. F. E. Langdon. The view from the ridge above the Langdon house is fine, with Little Bay at the left ; Durham shore, with the intermediate islands, in front ; and the mouth of Back river at the northwest, ont of which pours a stream to quicken the course of the turbulent Horse Races of the Pascat- aqua, which may be seen swiftly coursing towards the Long Reach. Dover Point is in full sight. It is a page full of historic interest.
Charles W. Tuttle, in his " Histor- ical Papers," pp. 163-171, endeavors to prove that no Indian attack on
Fox Point was made May 28, 1690, as generally believed. His reason- ing, however, is wholly negative. On the other hand, Wm. Vaughan, a prominent man of Portsmouth, in a letter written that very night at ten o'clock, asserts that the neighbor- hood of Bloody Point had that after- noon been ravaged by the Indians under Hopehood, who had been kill- ing and burning within three or four miles of Portsmouth. ' Belknap, in his History of N. H., gives an account of this attack without ex- pressing the slightest doubt as to its occurrence. And the constant tradi- tion in Newington is supported by the marks of assault on the Downing garrison at Fox Pt., and the tradi- tion of the massacre at Bloody Point, near Langstaffe's garrison.
Fox Point ferry ran to Meader's landing at the mouth of Oyster river, ' on the upper side. It is mentioned Aug. 21, 1771, when Lemuel Meader conveyed his ferry place and privi- lege to George Knight, son of Jolin Knight of Portsmouth, from whom it was sometimes called Knight's ferry. " Fox Point ferry to Durham Point" is mentioned in 1792, no doubt the same as Bickford's ferry, which is spoken of Aug. 23, 1764, when Stephen Willey conveyed to his son Stephen his homestead at or near this ferry. This land was at Durham Point.
FRANCE. This name is given to a neighborhood in Barrington, westerly of Swayne's pond.
FRANK'S FORT. This is an island
1 As you turn down from Broad Cove to Fox Point, there is a fine wood at the right, in which is a remarkable oak, or series of oaks-four in number-that spring from a common base of oval shape, with a space between each bole like a seat. These three spaces are delightfully umbrageous, and being well adapted for sweet converse, have been popularly named the Lovers' Seats.

in the Long Reach of the Pascataqua river, just above Eliot Neck. It was once a steep gravelly height, flat on the top, with the aspect of a fortifi- cation, but has been greatly worn by the elements, and partly carried away by vessels for ballast. Frank's Fort is mentioned Feb. 14, 1648, in a grant to John Gren. ( York Records.) In a deed from George Smith of Dover to Dennis Downing of Kittery, Dec. 18, 1650, frankes fort and watts fort are mentioned. Land on the east side of the Pascataqua river, " be- twixt Franke's fort and Darby's fort," was granted, July 14, 1659, by the General Court of Mass. Bay to Wm. Hawthorne of Salem. Frank's fort is also spoken of Dec. 4, 1663, when James Emery of Kittery conveyed to Stephen Robinson of Oyster River a tract of land between Richard Rogers and Richard Green, Sr. ; 1 and again, May 16, 1695, in a grant of land to Maj. Thomas Clark, "between frankes fort and Wat's fort."2 The name of Frank's fort has been per- petuated to this day, but its origin is not known. Boatmen on the river invariably call it by this name. "Frankfort" is a corruption that should be ignored. A Newington tradition says the powder from Fort William and Mary was first stored on this island, whence it was conveyed farther up the river for greater secn- rity.
FRANKLIN CITY. This name was given to a projected settlement or
town, laid out in Durham, at the end of Pascataqua bridge, towards the close of last century, by a company of men belonging to Dover, Ports- mouth, Durham, etc., two of whom- Nathaniel Coggswell and Thomas Pinkham, in behalf of themselves and their associates-petitioned the New Hampshire legislature in 1796 to be incorporated under the name of the Franklin Proprietary, to " continue a body politic and corporate by that name forever." The act of incorpor- ation was passed Dec. 15, 1796, and approved the next day: This bill authorized Ebenezer Thompson of Durham to call the first meeting of the proprietors, or, in case of his failure, Ebenezer Smith of the same town. See 6.282.
.
Thomas Pinkham of Durham, Dec. 30, 1797, conveyed to Wm. King Atkinson of Dover all right, title, and interest, in fourteen lots in " Franklin Propriety, so called," in Durham, also three lots in the flats, and "one third of all the land at Tittle, or Tickle, or Trickle Point, so called, in said propriety, not laid out and drawn, and one third of the flats not heretofore conveyed, lying near Pascataqua (river) and one third of any common land of said Franklin," etc. Each of these lots contained one fourth of an acre.
The Portsmouth Gazette, of April 11, 1801, gives notice of a meeting to be held by the proprietors on Thursday, May 7, of that year, among
1 Ap, 28, 1697, " John Hall, Sen., drowned coming up the River in a little float, near Green point." Rev. John Pike's Journal.
2Walt's fort, otherwise Jostin's fort, was about a mile farther up the river, on a point of land where Henry Joselyn or Josselyn is said to have lived for a time before going to Scarborough. Wm. Leighton, mariner, bought land at or near Watt's fort June 20, 1656, and his son Capt. John Leighton, the Sheriff, built a garrison there in 1690, generally called Leighton's fort. This point is in Eliot, and still owned by the Leighton family.

other purposes, to see what should be done about the New Hampshire turnpike road passing through some of their lots, and to renew the boun- daries. This notice is signed by eleven of their number, among whom are Wm. K. Atkinson of Dover, Mark Simes of Portsmouth, etc.
The founding of Franklin City was projected by men specially interested in trade and shipping. In the first quarter of this century many vessels were built, not only on the wharves in Durham village, but at Pascataqua bridge. The embargo and the war of 1812 were a great check to this busi- ness, but mention is made of two privateers built at this bridge by Andrew Simpson of Durham during that war, the contracts for which are in the writer's possession. The de- cline of shipping was a serious blow to the settlement of the proposed city, and the idea was gradually abandon- ed. Ballard Pinkham, administrator of the estate of Thomas Pinkham, advertised the sale of "seventeen lots in Franklin city," Jan. 2, 1812. The "Winkley estate in Franklin city, so called," is mentioned in the Strafford Register (Dover) of Feb. 15, 1820. Mention is made of the own- ers of 36 lots in 1825. And May 28, 1829, Andrew Simpson sold 25 lots. But their decrease in value is shown by the abatements in the rate-lists. The Durham records of 1821 mention
an abatement of $3.15, on Timothy Pinkham's "land in Franklin City."
Franklin City was laid out by Nathaniel Coggswell and Thomas Pinkham. The plan was drawn by Benjamin Dearborn, one of the pro- prietors, who was a teacher in Ports- month, and a man of much mechanical genius.1 This plan, beautifully exe- cuted, is still preserved, and in the possession of Mrs. Alley, the present owner of the site of Franklin City. But no one can behold it, with its wharves, streets, and house-lots, all marked out in imposing array, with- out being reminded of that which young Martin Chuzzlewit fonnd adorn- ing one side of Mr. Zephaniah Scad- der's office, and, like Eden City, with nothing yet built, and in nearly as low and unpromising a situation as that renowned settlement. (See Meader's Neck and Tickle Point.)
FREETOWN. This name has long been given to a part of Madbury, north of Hicks's hill, now in school- district No. 3. It is mentioned in Feb., 1730, when twenty acres of land were laid out to Derry Pitman, "a little above the west end of Me- hermett's Hill," beginning at the corner of Wm. Demerit's land, and running N. by it 60 rods, then E. by the common, then S. "on a road leading to the road commonly called Freetown road." Derry Pitman and wife Dorothy2 conveyed to Wm.
1 Benjamin Dearborn is mentioned in 1786 as an inventor of a certain balance or scales, and an engine for throwing water. (N. H. State Papers, 18 : 779.)
2 Sir William Pepperrell, in his will of Jan. 11, 1759, mentions his " kinswoman Dorothy Pitman," and gives her "all the money which her husband Derry Pitman oweth me." The Durham records have the following entry : "The ages of Mr. Derry Pitman's children, born in the year 1749, in March ye 22, andrew pepral Pitman, and Mary Pitman." These twin children were evidently both named for the Pepperrell family. An interesting account of the captivity of Derry Pitman's parents is to be found in the N. H. Town Papers, 17 : 682. His sister Tabitha married Eli Demerit, Jr., and Abigail, another sister, married Wm. Demerit, brother of said Eli.
