	Carter's Brook.  This brook is often mentioned in the early records 
as "the freshett that goeth into Broad Cove," and "the creek in Broad Cove."
(See Broad Cove Freshet.)  It is mentioned June 13, 1839, when Cyrus Frink 
conveyed to Wallis Lane a tract of land in Newington, beginning at Rocky 
Point, at Carte's brook, so called, thence running west to a stake in the 
marsh 3 rods N.W. of the site of the old mill formerly owned by John Cole-
man, and along said creek to a marked rock, then S. to a rock beside the 
road from Pascataqua bridge to Portsmouth, thence E. by said road to 
Carter's Lane, then N. to the first bound.  This land was conveyed March 
17, 1842, to Mr. F.W. de Rochemont, who sold it to Mrs. Mary Orr  of 
Boston, March 21, 1847.  Hence the name of Orr's brook and De Rochemont's 
brook, by which it is sometimes called.
