LANDMARKS: Cedar Point.

NAMES: POMFRETT, William; ALLEY, Mrs; JENKINS, Joseph; HANSON, Stephen; 
	GREEN, Ezra; WALLINGFORD, Thomas; 

	This point is so called the 5th, 5 mo., 1652, in the grant of Goat 
Island to Wm. Pomfrett.  It is now owned by Mrs. Alley.  It is on the upper
shore of the Pascataqua, below the mouth of Oyster river, and at the south-
west side of Royall's cove.  It is a bound of the three townships of Dover,
Durham, and Madbury.   When the bounds between Dover and Madbury were 
perambulated Jan. 19, 1793, the line began "at Cedar point, so called, by 
the river," then ran north 40 deg., or thereabouts, to the southwest corner
of Joseph Jenkin's house, thence north 34½ deg. W. to a beech tree on 
Stephen Hanson's land, on the north side of the road to Barrington, thence 
on the same point about 6 ft. from the corner of Dr. Ezra Green's pasture, 
thence north 34½ deg. W. to the Barrington line.                     
	When the line between Durham and Madbury was perambulated Jan 9, 1802,
it began at "a long rock on Cedar Pt., so called, on the west side of the 
back river," marked M. on the north, and D. on the south; thence ran about 
north 55º, 30' west, to a red oak on the north side of the creek, on land 
lately belonging to the heirs of Thomas Wallingford, deceased, thence on 
the same course to the middle of Johnson's creek bridge, thence N. by E. 
to, and across, Beech hill, and thence to the north-east corner of the 
town of Lee.
