LANDMARKS:	Carter's Rocks

NAMES: CARTER, Richard; CARTER, John; 	

	Carter's Rocks.  These rocks are on the Newington shore of Broad 
Cove, a little below Carter's brook.  At high tide they are separated from 
the shore, but at other times form a projection from the main land that is 
commonly called Rocky Point.  Here was once a landing-place, to which led 
the old road now called Carter's Lane.  The name is derived from one of the 
oldest families in Newington.  Richard Carter was living near Pine Pt. be-
fore 1648.  among his descendants were John and Richard Carter, who owned 
land in the vicinity of Broad Cove in 1719.
