	A road led to this district, sometimes called Babadoes way, which 
is mentioned May 30, 1702.  (See Broad Turn.)  Robert Evans of Mendon (Mass.),
June 5, 1711, conveyed to Joseph Meader of Dover, 60 acres of land granted
his father Robert Evans, Sr., laid out in Cochecho Swamp, on "the southside 
of the way that goeth to a place commonly called Barbadoes."  Joseph Meader
conveyed this trackt to John Hanson in 1713.  Benjamin Evans, April 10, 1739, 
conveyed to Hercules Mooney, schoolmasterą, eleven acres in "ye place com-
monly called Barbadoes" on the north side of the way from Littleworth to Barr-
ington, beginning at Robert Hanson's bound.  Thirty acres were granted to 
Joseph Evans in Purbadies (barbadoes) woods, Ap. 6, 1702.  John Wingate, in
his will of 1714, gives his son Edmund thirty acres in Barbadoes woods, 
which, according to a deed from Simon and Joanna Wingate to their brother 
Moses in 1736, were on the south side of the road that led from Barbadoes 
spring.  Thomas Hanson of Dover, in his will of Sept. 18, 1728, gives his 
son Timothy sixty acres in Barbadoes woods.          

ąThis was Col. Hercules Mooney, a native of Ireland, who not only taught 
school many years in Durham, Newington, and Somersworth, but served with 
distinction in the Seven Years War and at the Revolutionary period.  His 
first wife was Elizabeth, daughter of the above Benjamin Evans.
