	About fifty rods above Dudley's falls once stood a "day" saw-mill, 
owned by the neighboring farmers,  but the fall is no longer perceptible, 
having been overflowed by the raising of the dam below after the Dudley 
privilege was acquired by Mr. Richardson.  This mill appears to have stood 
on the Hanson land, perhaps part of the tract mentioned Sept. 22,1755, when 
Paul and Mary Gerrish, of the parish of Madbury, conveyed to Solomon Hanson 
a tract of 40 acres, 96 rods, in Dover, on the north side of Bellemin's Bank
river, being part of ye land commonly called Beard's hundred acres,  beginning 
at a considerable fall in said river.¹ It extended from Ensign Joseph Beard's 
land to the river, and the conveyance included "the sole privilege of sd 
fall" on the north side of the river.  

¹Thomas Beard's 100- acre grant adjoined the 100 acres southward of Capt 
Waldron's log swamp, conveyed by Henry Nock, Feb 18, 1718-19, to John 
Hanson and Thomas Hanson, Jr.  (See Nock's Marsh)
