Part Two of Gazetteer:

SUNCOOK RIVER - has the source of its northern branch in a pond, which forms part of 
the boundary between Gilmanton and Gilford, and passing through the easterly part of 
Gilmanton, it receives the two Suncook ponds and also Small’s pond near the line of 
Alton.  It thence enters Barnstead, where it passes through two other ponds of its own 
name, and receives the waters of Half moon and Brindle ponds.  Just below these ponds it 
receives a branch from Barrington, called Little Suncook river, and another from 
Wildgoose pond in the northeast part of Pittsfield.  It thence flows through Pittsfield into 
Epsom where it receives an eastern branch from Suncook pond in Northwood.  From this 
junction it flows 8 or 10 miles through Epsom and between Allenstown and Pembroke, 
and empties its waters into the Merrimack 7 miles below Concord near the southern 
extremity of Allenstown.  There is a great variety of mills on this river and its branches. 
(See Pembroke.)
