LANDMARKS:  Henderson’s Point

NAMES:   HENDERSON, William; PHILPOT, Hiram; 

	Henderson’s Point. This point is on the Rollinsford shore of the Newichawannock, 
below Middle Point.  It is the terminus of the bridge from Eliot, at the lower side of 
Jocelyn’s cove.  The name is derived from Wm. Henderson, who had a grant of land on 
this shore March 19, 1693-4.  (See Jocelyn’s cove.)  It is now owned by Mr. Hiram 
Philpot.
	There was also a Henderson’s point on the east side of Dover Neck, to which led a 
road, mentioned in 1812.  This was apparently above Morrill’s ferry, formerly Beck’s slip.  
Henderson’s spring in that vicinity is mentioned in Sanford & Evert’s Atlas.
