LANDMARK: Beaver Dams, Peter's Marsh, "Tate's brook", Great Falls, 

NAMES: WENTWORTH, Ebenezer; WALTON, Samuel; RANLET, Thomas; 

	Mention is made of a beaver dam in Somersworth, Oct 21, 1734, when 20
acres of land were laid out to Ebenezer Wentworth "where he then dwelt, 
above the beaver dam, near the lower end of Peter's Marsh, so called, by 
the brook."  And, March 23, 1736, 20 acres were laid out to Samuel Walton, 
"beginning at a black ash in a maple swamp, near east from the beaver dam 
that is on the brook that cometh through Peter's marsh."  This large beaver 
dam was near Mr. Thomas Ranlet's, where that part of Peter's Marsh brook,
now called "Tate's brook," is crossed by the road from Great Falls.
