LANDMARKS:Birch Point

NAMES: BENNICK, Abraham; CHESLEY, Joseph; BENNICK, Eleazar; PERKINS; DOE, 
	Nathaniel; CROSS, Ralph; 

	Birch Point.  A point of this name, on the shore of Goddard's
creek, is mentioned June 15, 1734, when Abraham Bennick of Durham conveyed 
to Joseph Chesley and Eleazar Bennick "twenty acres in that part of Durham 
called Lubberland, adjacent to the Lubberland Marshes, beginning at a red 
oak by ye side of ye marsh over against Burch Point, near where ye fence 
now stands, and runs N.N.E. over ye old Shop Hill, strait over a large flat 
rock marked J.E. until it comes to ye path used to go from Lubberland to ye 
lower falls, which is near four rods over said rock, from thence to run 
strait to ye old garrison seller (no doubt the cellar of the Goddard garrison) 
near E.S.E. -- thence strait to a great rock marked J.E. which stands by 
ye path wh goes to ye landing place, thence to Perkins his salt marsh," 
and thence to the first bound.  This  Birch Point is mentioned twice in a 
deed of Ap. 19, 1745, from Nathaniel Doe to Ralph Cross. (see Doe's Neck.)
	Another Birch Point is on the Newington shore of the Pascataqua river,
below Bloody point.  (See Pine Point.)
