LANDMARKS: Cole's Pond NAMES: COLE, Ebenezer; WENTWORTH, Benjamin; WENTWORTH, Mary; Cole's Pond. This pond, so called in Merrill's Gazeteer of N.H. in 1817, is in the northeastern part of Somersworth. It is 150 rods long, and half as wide. It is called Hurd's Pond on Holland's map of 1784. And it is sometimes called Lily Pond, from the profusion of lilies that grow therein. Ebenezer Cole, who married Mary, daughter of Benjamin Wentworth, lived at Rocky Hills, near this pond, in the middle of the last century. PG 50 Submitted by C.
