	Bantom's Point, otherwise Bampton's.  This point, according to 
Whitehouse's map of Dover, is on the west side of the river Cochecho, below 
the Narrows. 
	Matthew James of Somersworth, Dec 29, 1741, conveyed to his son John 
12 acres and 128 rods of land, compassing one acre in John Bamton's possession,
beginning at his fence and running down to a landing-place on Cochecho 
river.  It joined Samuel Tibbets' land.  John James sold this land to Jon-
athan Watson, who, Dec. 2, 1746, conveyed to Ambrose Bampton 12 acres 128
rods, towards the upper end of Dover Neck, compassing one acre already in 
said Bampton's possession, and running down to a landing place on the 
Cochecho river.  "Ambrous Banton" belonged to Capt. Thomas Millet's 
Company in 1740.
