	Cleft Cove, otherwise Cliff.  This cove is on the Lubberland shore, 
between Crummit's creek and Pinder's Point but the name is no longer retain-
ed.  It is mentioned July 1, 1669, when Thomas Roberts, Sr., conveyed to 
John York a tract of land "beginning at ye little poynt in Cliff cove, 
adjoining Thomas Morries, and so over the neck to a pine tree by ye path 
going to Lubberland."  And again May 16, 1681, in a deed from John York to 
John Pinder.  (See Pinder's Point.)  Benjamin and Joseph Pinder conveyed 
to Dependence Bickford of Newington, July 2, 1763, their farm in Durham 
where they then lived, beginning at Cleft cove, so called, and running 
northerly by the land of John Durgin, westerly by Ebenezer Smith's, south-
erly by Benja Colbroth's to the Great Bay, and thence by the bay to the 
first bound.
