	Carter's Lane.  This is an old road in Newington, leading to Rocky 
Pt., laid out early in the last century.  Geo. Walton conveyed to Samuel 
and John Shackford, Feb 27, 1718-19, ten acres of land (part of fifty 
acres bought of Henry Langster) "running down between the freshet and the 
lane that goes to Rocky Poynt."  Carte's Lane is now the western boundary 
of Mr. Valentine M. Coleman's farm.  It is one's ideal of a rural lane, 
being left almost entirely to nature-the pathway grassy from present dis-
use, shady with overhanging trees, and bordered with a tangle of rose 
bushes, vines, and shrubs, and its lower extremity washed by the ebb and 
flow of the tide around the great flat ledge called Carter's Rocks.
