LANDMARKS:	Footman's Islands

NAMES; ELKINS, Dr.; FOOTMAN, Thomas; 	

	Footman's Islands.  These islands, two in number, are near the Lubberland shore of Great Bay, not far above Crummit's creek.  They are now
owned by Dr. Elkins of Newmarket.  The name was derived from Thomas 
Footman, who, the 10th 8 mo., 1653, had the grant of an island containing 
one acre of land, more or less, in the mouth of the Great Bay.  In his will 
of Aug. 14, 1667, he mentions his house, with 80 acres of land adjacent, 
and the "island laying against the house."  The other island is 
insignificant.
