LANDMARK:Barrington Oak

NAMES: EMERSON, Laban; PINKHAM, Richard	

	This name is given to the present boundary tree at the Barrington 
terminus of the line between Lee and Madbury.  It is a white oak, which 
stands where the roads from these three towns meet, at the side of the 
highway adjacent to the old Pinkham land, now belonging to Mr. Laban Emerson.  
Barrington oak seems to have sprung up since the line between Barrington 
and Madbury was perambulated Dec. 28, 1801.  According to the Madbury 
records, the dividing line at that time ran to the western corner of Madbury,
about one rod north-west of an apple tree in Mr. Richard Pinkham's orchard.
