NAMES: DOWNING, John; SHACKFORD, Capt. Samuel; SHACKFORD, Jno; COLEMAN,

	Coleman's Creek.  This name is now given to a small brook that empties 
into Trickey's cove, Newington.  It is the "little gully" mentioned in a 
deed from John Downing to Saml and Jno Shackford, March 5, 1713.  (See 
Trickey's Cove.)  The present name is derived from Nathaniel P. Coleman, to 
whom Ruel J. Bean conveyed, May 11, 1846, a tract of land adjoining Pascataqua 
river, formerly owned by Capt. Saml Shackford, beginning at the creek on 
the easterly side of Bean's land, and running southerly by the river round 
by Zackey's Point, so called, to the centre of the creek against Nancy 
Drew's land, etc.   This land now belongs to Valentine M. Coleman, Esq., 
son of the above Nathaniel.                    Coleman's cove, so called, 
in Newington," is mentioned in the N.H. Gazette (Portsmouth) of Oct. 20, 
1801; apparently the small cove below Dumpling cove, where James Coleman 
owned land at the close of the last century.
