	Great Hill.  Mentioned the 5th, 10 mo., 1652, when John Heard had a 
grant of 50 acres under the Great Hill of Cochechoe, on the south side, 
below the cartway.  A freshet is mentioned the same day as "coming out of 
the marsh beside the great hill at Cochecho."  Thomas Paine of Dover, in ye 
county of Dover and Portsmouth, conveyed to Ginking Jones, July 9, 1673, 
twenty acres of land at Cochecha near ye Greate hill, bought of Wm. 
Wentworth March 6, 1666, being part of 50 acres granted said Wentworth the
1st, 10 mo., 1652, beginning at a gutt at ye lower end of said Wentworth's
field, on ye east side of the Greate hill, and running by ye cartway to a 
marked tree.  This hill is otherwise called the Great Cochecho hill and 
Cochecho Great hill.  The Rev. John Pike calls it simply "the Hill" May 28,
1704.  It is now called Garrison Hill.                  
	The name of Great Hill is also given to a hill in Lubberland near the
head of Goddard's creek.  It is mentioned the 10th, 2 mo., 1674, when 100
acres of land on the Great Bay bought by John Goddard of Thomas Larkham,
were laid out, beginning at the corner of the orchard and running N. by W.

in a deed from Martha, widow of Elias Critchet, Sr., and daughter of John 
Goddard , Sr., to her grandson Joseph Thomas, Aug. 4, 1729.  It is called 
Chesley's Hill in a deed from Elias Critchet to Samuel Smith Ap. 5, 1731.
