LANDMARKS:  Harford’s Ferry

NAMES: 	HARFORD, Nicholas;

	Harford’s Ferry.  So called from Nicholas Harford, who, in 1717, was licensed to 
keep a ferry across Fore river from Dover Neck to Kittery.  He petitioned March 26, 
1726, that his license might be renewed.  This ferry ran from Beck’s slip to what is now 
known as Morrill’s point on the Eliot shore, originally a part of Kittery.  At a later day it 
was called Morrill’s ferry.  (See Beck’s point and Slip.)  The name of Harford is otherwise 
written Hartford.
