	Mentioned March 19, 1693-4, when John Bickford had a grant of 50 
acres on "the south side of the durty brooke, going to the second falls," 
at the upper side of Benjn York's land.  John Bickford conveyed this land 
to John Smith Ap. 8, 1703, when dirty brook is again mentioned.  Part of 
John Smith's grant of 50 acres, June 23, 1701, was laid out Ap. 3, 1705,
"on the north side of the durty brook," bounded one side by "follet's 
path," thence running westward to the brook. This land was near the second 
falls in Lamprey river.  He had another grant of 20 acres Oct. 2, 1729, at
the upper side of his grant of 1701, "lying between Follet's bridge path 
and the Durty brook."  It joined the lands of Burnum, Goddard, and 
Stevenson.                    
	Dirty brook is in the Packer's Falls district, Durham, and empties 
into the Moat. It once had sufficient power to run a shingle-
mill.
