LANDMARKS:	Geebig Road, Chebeague Road, Jebucto Road	

NAMES:  DAVIS, Solomon;  DREW, Wm.; 

	Geebig Road, otherwise Chebeague or Jebucto.  The first of these 
names is popularly given to a road that leads through the northeastern part 
of Nottingham to Geebig mill, on North river.  It is called Jebucto road on 
Tuttle's map of Nottingham in 1806.  "Jabeague upper mill" is mentioned 
Oct. 31, 1765, when Solomon Davis conveyed to Wm. Drew a tract of land on 
Cross street in Nottingham, adjoining this mill.  The name is said to have 
been derived from Chebucto, and Indian chief in the vicinity of North 
river, the first half of last century.  Chebucto or Jebucto was also the 
ancient name of the place where is now the city of Halifax, N.S.  Great and
Little Chebeague islands on the coast of Maine have names akin.
