Landmarks in Ancient Dover, New Hampshire by Mary P. Thompson, Durham, N.H. ©1892, Printed by the Republican Press Association, Concord, N.H. LANDMARK: Calves-Pen Island NAMES: LEWIS, Philip; NOCK, Thomas; TIBBETS, Henry; JOHNSON, Hannah; JOHNSON, John; HUGGINS, Nathaniel; Calves-Pen Island. Mentioned Ap. 1, 1662, when "a tract of land and marsh on the north side of Winnicot river in ye Great Bay" was divided between Philip Lewis on one side, and Thomas Nock and Henry Tibbets on the other; said Lewis binding himself to lay no claim to "the marsh yet lyeth within ye bounds of the calves-pen marsh," except what had already been laid out to him on the N.W. side of the island, commonly called and known by ye name of ye calves-pen island, situate within ye Great bay aforesaid." Philip Lewis's land fell to his daughter Hannah, wife of John Johnson, who also acquired the marsh that previously belonged to his grandfather Tibbets on the north side of Winnicot river. John Johnson and Hannah conveyed the above land and marsh to Nathaniel Huggins May 25, 1696. Calves-Pen island is no longer to be traced. It was probably an island at high tide, that has disappeared with the draining of the marshes. PG 33-34 Submitted by C.
