	Dead Water Brook and Neck.  Tristram Heard of Dover, in his will of 
Ap. 18, 1734, gives his grandsons Joseph Knight and Tristram Warrin 30 
acres of land at a place commonly called Dead Water.  Tristram Warren of
Berwick, Me., conveyed to Joseph Hanson, Esq., March 19, 1754, all right 
to 30 acres of land in Dover, granted to his honored grandfather Tristram 
Heard March 19, 1693-4, and laid out on the north side of the Cochecho, 
between ye mouth of Black Water brook and Dead Water neck--the same land 
which Tristram Heard, deceased, gave Joseph Knight (son of Robert Knight) 
and Tristram Warren in his last will and testament.  Seventeen acres of 
land were laid out to Joseph Hanson, Jr., Nov. 5, 1741, on the east side of 
the river Cochecho, in a place called Dead Water Neck, opposite the 37 
acres laid out to him that same day on the other side of the river (see 
Sandy Log Hill), beginning at the mouth of Dead Water brook, and running up
said brook as it goes to the head, and so along the ridge of the hill, as
the hedge fence goes, to a white birch marked I.H., thence S. by W. to a 
large cove in said river, bounding the same by said river down to the mouth
of said brook where we began--which land said Hanson had for some years 
improved.  Oct. 28, 1765, Humphrey Hanson (and Joanna) conveyed to his 
brother Ephraim Hanson, innholder, 17 acres on ye east side of the 
Cochecho, at a place called Dead Water Neck, laid out to their father 
Joseph Hanson, Esq., Nov. 5, 1741. 
	Deadwater Brook empties into the Cochecho on the east side, over 40 
rods above the upper Eelweir falls.  The Neck lies between this brook and 
the Cochecho river.
