LANDMARKS: Cochecho Log Swamp NAMES: THOMPSON, William; NOCKE, Thomas; THOMPSON, John; TUTTLE, John; WINGATE, Moses; HANSON, Solomon; HANSON, Ebenezer; HANSON, Nathaniel; Cochecho Log Swamp. This swamp was between the Cochecho river and Bellamy Bank freshet, and comprised Waldron's Log Swamp, and perhaps Nock's Marsh, Ash Swamp, etc. Fifty acres were laid out to Wm. Thompson March 17, 1658-9, "beyond Cochecho log swamp," bounded S.E. by land then "in posses- sion of Thomas Nocke, and south by Bellamies Banke freshett." When this tract was conveyed by John Thompson, son of Wm., to John Tuttle, Feb. 11, 1715-16, it was said to be "at Cochecho log swamp." when this land was sold to Moses Wingate by Solomon and Ebenezer Hanson, it was stated to be "in Ash Swamp." And Moses Wingate, Sept. 12, 1752, bought of Nathaniel Hanson 20 acres "in Cochecho or Ash swamp." (See Ash Swamp.) Cochecho Swamp seemed to extend to Barbadoes Pond, if not to Mallego river. (See Broad Turn and the Saplings.) An "ancient cartway leading from the second (Tolend) falls into the swamp till it meets the other way that leads from Broad turn," is mentioned March 4, 1703-4.
