	Chesley's Ponds.  These ponds are in the lower part of Barrington. 
 "Chesley's upper pond" are on the Barrington map of 1805.  They are now 
known as Bodge's and Swayne's ponds.  The latter is the source of the Bell-
amy river.  These ponds were formerly separated by a narrow isthmus, but 
when Sawyer's reservoir dam was built at the outlet of Swayne's pond it 
caused an overflow which converted them into one pond.
