Anthony's Brook.  The name of this brook was derived 
from Anthony Emery, who May 2, 1942 bought of Stephen 
Tedder six acres of land on the Newichawannock, 
confirmed to him by the town of Dover the 7th, 6mo., 
1648 together with an additional grant which extended to 
"a brook that lyeth on the southeast against the 
Newichwannick."  This brook is referred to March 19,
1693-4 when three score acres of land were granted to 
John Hall, Jr., on Salmon Falls river, "on ye north side
of ye brooke, above Antonies."  Three score acres were
also laid out to Robert Euans, Jr., Ap. 7, 1696, on the 
northside of Antony's brook.  John Wingate, Nov 5, 1702,
conveyed to Paul Wentworth three score acres adjacent 
to Salmon Falls, beginning at a pitch pine tree on the 
north side of Antonies brook, and thence running S.E. 
three score rods by the Salmon Falls river.  Richard 
Rookes, schoolmaster, Aug 9, 1731, conveyed to Thomas
Wallingford, innholder, 60 acres of swamp and upland in
the parish of "Summersworth," granted to John Hall, 
Jr., March 19, 1693-4, "beginning at a bass tree by ye
upper pier, at ye upper Boom at ye river, "  thence
running 60 rods south to Antony's brook, so called. 
This brook, which has lost its ancient name, and is now
insignificant in size, passes through Sill swamp, comes
to Salmon Falls village back of the Railroad station, 
and empties into the Salmon Falls river.
