LANDMARKS: Champernowne's Creek

NAMES: HAINES, Samuel; DRAKE, Francis; HAYNES, Gudman; NEALE, Walter; 
	PACKER, Thomas; PEIRCE, Col. J.W.; CHAMPERNOUNE, Capt; 

	Champrenowne's Creek.  Mentioned April 15, 1664, when Samuel Haines 
had 80 acres of his "divident land" laid out to him adjoining Francis 
Drake's, "neere Capt. Champernoune's creek," thence running west 72 rods 
to the cartway at the fence between "Gudman Haynes and Walter Neale." 
(Portsmouth Records.)  This creek rises in the Great Swamp, flows through 
Greenland, and empties into the Great Bay east of Packer's Point, but the
name is no longer in use.  It is now called Packer's creek, from Thomas 
Packer who acquired part of the Champernowne lands, and sometimes Peirce's 
creek, from Col. J.W. Peirce, who bought part of the Packer estate.
