LANDMARKS: Coffin's Mill	

NAMES: MESERVE, Daniel; DAVIS, Moses; MARSH, Henry; MARSH, Hezekiah; 
	THOMPSON, Jonathan; MARSH, Dinah; COFFIN, Peter;	

	Coffin's Mill.  Mentioned June 23, 1701, when 30 acres were granted 
to Daniel Messerve "between Coffin's mill at Oyster River and Moses Davis 
his land."  The Meserve land was on the mill road in Durham, above Chesley's 
mill.  Henry Marsh's land was between Chesley's mill and the Mast road, 
adjoining the north side of Oyster river.  His son Hezekiah Marsh conveyed 
his right thereto to Jonathan Thompson Feb. 7, 1737; and his daughter Dinah
Marsh quit-claimed to said Thompson March 6, 1737-8.  Her deed describes 
this land as a tract of 40 acres granted her father, Henry Marsh, deceased,
laid out on the north side of Oyster river, over against ye land which was
Moses Davis's, beginning at an elm tree at the river side.  Where Coffin's 
mill stood does not appear.  The only mills at that time on Oyster river, 
below the above lands, were Chesley's mill and those at the lowest falls.  
Peter Coffin, however, appears to have owned mill privileges on Lamprey 
river and the Pascassick within the limits of the Oyster River district.
