	Half-Way Swamp.  Mentioned the 5th, 10 mo., 1652, when Wm. Wentworth had a 
grant of 40 acres of upland, northward of the Half Way Swamp, on the north side of John 
Heard’s 40 acre lot, and so along the cart-way.  And again March 10, 1665, when James 
Ordway of Newbury, and wife Ann, conveyed to John Heard of Cochecho 20 acres 
granted him by the town of Dover, on the further side of the half way swamp going to the 
marsh of cochecho aforesaid, joining on one side to ye cart path, and at ye other end by a 
freshet or swamp.  This swamp, now drained, was southwest of Garrison Hill, on the west 
side of the old cartway, now the Garrison Hill road.  It was so called because it was about 
halfway between Cochecho falls and the Great Cochecho marsh.
