LANDMARKS: Clement's Point

NAMES: EMERSON, Samuel; LAYTON, Thomas; CLEMENT, Job; LAYTON, Joanna; 
	LAYTON, Thomas; LAITON, John; CLEMENT, Job; 	

	Clement's Point.  Whitehouse's map of Dover in 1834 gives this name 
to the point at the mouth of Back river, on the west side.  It is also so 
called in Sanford & Evert's Atlas of Strafford Co. The Clement land in the 
lower part of the Back River district, adjoining the lands of Samuel 
Emerson and Thomas Layton, is repeatedly mentioned in the early records.  
Job Clement had one of the twenty acre lots in that vicinity in 1652.  
He married Joanna, widow of Thomas Layton, July 16, 1673.  March 15, 1704, 
he conveyed 30 acres on the west side of Back river to John Laiton.  The 
inventory of Job Clement's estate Dec. 1, 1716, mentions 16 acres of 
pasture and meadow land "on the back cove point, on ye west side of ye 
Back river."  This land was given his wife during her lifetime.
