LANDMARK: Beaver Dams, 

NAMES: GIBBONS, Ambrose; 	

	The remains of another beaver dam are still to be seen in Rollinsford,
on the east side of Fresh creek, above the road to Eliot.      
              The great number of beavers in N.H. in early times, especially
in the vicinity of the Newichawannock, is evident from the amount killed in 
the course of a few months in the year 1633, as shown by the accounts of 
Ambrose Gibbons.  (N.H. Pov. Pap., 1: 71-2 and 2:558.)  It is not surprising
that these interesting animals were speedily exterminated.
