	Caulley's Marsh. This marsh is in the Durham Point district, and 
still retains its ancient name.  Matthew Giles's land at Colles marsh is 
mentioned in 1658.  Thirty acres were granted "Mr. Thomas Edgerlie, Senr.,
" March 19, 1693-4, "between Collies marsh and the hornes."  John Ambler, 
Jan 31, 1725-6, conveyed to Zebulon Trickey of Kittery, Co. York, province 
of Mass. Bay,"  seven or eight acres "on ye high way yt goes from team hill 
to Collyes marsh."  Col. James Davis, in his will of Oct 18, 1748, gives 
his son Daniel 17 acres granted him in the common land in Durham, adjoining
Caulley's marsh.  And the land of Francis Footman "at a place called 
Caulley's marsh" is mentioned in the county records of 1752.  A portion of 
Caulley's marsh that formed part of the estate of Robert Mathes, is now 
owned by Mr. John Meader.                   
	 No Caulleys appear in the early rate-lists of Dover.  The name may 
be a corruption of Crawley.  Thomas Crawley was brought before the Dover 
authorities July 14, 1657, for three offences, viz:---for living idly in 
his calling, for stirring up strife between neighbors, and for drinking 
with Matthew--(perhaps Matthew Giles) 14 pints of wine at one time at the 
house of John Webster.  For the last offence he was fined, and for the two 
others admonished and required to pay the fees.  This did not subdue him, 
however.  A suit was brought against him June 26, 1660, by Thomas Canney 
for slandering his daughter Phebe, then under age, after which Thomas 
Crawley disappears from the Dover records.
