LANDMARKS:Charles's Point

NAMES: BINN, Jonas; BINE, Jonas; ADAMS, Charles; POMFRETT, William;

	Charles's Point.  Mentioned, apparently about 1654, when Jonas Binn 
or Bine had the grant of an island of two acres, or thereabouts, next 
Charles Adam's lot, at ye entrance into Little Bay, over against a point 
called by the name of Charles's point.  The only islands at the entrance 
into Little Bay, are Ambler's islands, the largest of which does not 
contain more  than once acre.  Goat island, below, has about three acres, 
but was already granted to Wm. Pomfrett in 1652.  Charles's Point is 
suppose to have been named from said Charles Adams, but the  land where 
his garrison stood was within the mouth of Oyster river, not at the point, 
which was owned by Jonas Binn or Bine.  (See Jonas Point.)  The only other 
land owned by Charles Adams near the river was at Branson's creek, near the 
mouth of the Great Bay.
