	Doe's Neck.  This neck, now in Newmarket, but once a part of ancient
Dover, was so called from Sampson Doe, to whom Richard Waldron conveyed,
March 22, 1709, all that neck of land between Lamperell river and 
Goddard's creek in the township of Dover, formerly granted by said town to
Peter Coffin of Exeter.  (See Lamprey-River Neck.)  Nathaniel Doe, Ap. 19,
1745, conveyed to Ralph Cross of Newbury half of a farm commonly called 
Doe's Neck, consisting of 120 acres, with dwelling-house, and barn 
southward of the house, the land extending from the barn to Lamperel river,
then E. on said river to the Great Bay, and by said Bay northerly to a 
fence northward of Martain's layn, so called, then up the creek (Goddard's)
to a rock eastward of Burch Point, near the place where people commonly 
pass over, and from said rock to a large red oak by the upland above Burch
point, then along said creek to the fence between said Doe's land, and 
that of Samuel Smith of Durham.  (See Lamprey River Neck and Martin's 
Lane.)
