LANDMARK:  Adams Point, Mathews Neck  
	
NAMES:  ADAMS, John;  ADAMS, Rev. Joseph; ADAMS, 		
	John; DAME, Timothy	

Adam's Point.  This point of land, originally called 
Mathews' Neck, is on the Durham shore, at the Narrows, 
between Great and Little bays.  The present name was 
derived from Elder John Adams, a descendant of the Rev. 
Joseph Adams of Newington, who was the uncle of John 
Adams, the second president of the United States.  Elder
Adams acquired this neck of land by a mortgage from 
Timothy Dame of Newington, May 1, 1930, which was never
redeemed.  The deed describes it as a farm of eighty 
acres, "commonly called Mathews' Neck," bourded north by
the land of Joseph Kent's heirs, and on the other sides
by Great and Little bays, and the coves and creeks that 
run into said bays."
