LANDMARKS:Clark's Ferry

NAMES: TEBBETTS, Ephraim; CLARK, Elisha; JAMES, Katherine; BAMPTON, John; 
	TIBBETS, Samuel; 	

	Clark's Ferry.  This ferry ran across the Cochecho river, above the 
mouth of Fresh creek.  It is mentioned Feb. 26, 1730-31, when a road was 
ordered to be laid out there-to, "along by Ephraim Tebbetts's."  This is 
doubtless the road to Perkins' landing, at the upper side of Bantom's Point, 
mentioned on Whitehouse's map of Dover.  The name was no doubt derived from
Elisha Clark, who conveyed to his daughter Katharine James, May 4, 1739, 
twelve acres of land, "beginning at the road running by John Bampton's down
to a landing place on Cochecho river."  On one side it extended to Samuel 
Tibbet's fence.  (See Bantom's Point.)
