	Gosling Road. This name is popularly given to the long straight road 
leading from the Pascataqua river two miles along the dividing line between 
Newington and Portsmouth.  Richard Dame, on his map, calls it the "Road to 
Boiling Rock."  It is called the "New Road" May 12, 1759, when David and 
Charles Dennett conveyed to John Hart eleven acres of land in Portsmouth,
on the southeasterly side of ye new road, so called which divides ye town 
of Portsmouth and ye parish of Newington, and on ye southwesterly side of 
ye road that leads from Portsmouth by Islington to Knight's ferry, having 
the land of Benjm Miller on ye S.E. side, and the land of John Shackford on 
the southwest.  It was still called the "new road" in 1772, when Joseph S. 
Hart, the 11th of June, conveyed to Richard Hart 150 acres of land in 
Newington, beginning at the river, and running westerly by the New Road, so 
called, to the land of Samuel Ham, etc., being the land on which his father 
John Hart then lived.  This land was acquired by Richard Pickering in 
1808.
