 	Durham Landing.  a landing- place at the head of Oyster river, acc- 
ording to a vote of the town of Dover, Oct. 27, 1701, was laid out June 14,
1703, beginning at high water mark by George Chesley's fence, and running
by his fence to the top of the hill by Bartholomew Stevenson's house, (now 
Mr. Wm P. Ffrost's), "thence N.N.W. to a pitch pine on the east side of the 
mast path which leads from Oyster river, thence to the fence on the west 
side of the aforesaid path, then southward, as the fence goes, till it comes
to the fresh river above the saw-mill, all which land thus laid out is to 
lay open for a public landing-place."  (Dover Records.)  This landing-place
included, not only the slope of Log hill in front of the Ffrost residence,
but all the land on the south side of the road immediately above the saw-
mill, now enclosed as house yards, which, within the writer's recollection,
lay open as a place for lumber for the convenience of the mill, and still 
properly belongs to the town or the mill privilege.
