LANDMARKS:  Hodgdon’s Point

NAMES:   HODGDON, John; KNIGHT, John; LANGSTAR, Henry; HODGDON, mary; 
	 WALTON, George;

	Hodgdon’s Point.  This point is on the shore of the Pascataqua, below Bloody 
Point, but the name has not been retained.  It was so called from john Hodgdon, who 
conveyed to John Knight, in three parcels, all his lands on the southerly side of the road 
from Bloody Point, part of which adjoined Henry Langstar’s ten-acre grant.  The last of 
these was conveyed March 7, 1736, when john and Mary Hodgdon sold John Knight "all 
the land where we now dwell, beginning at the lower end of our garden, and running along 
the land we sold sd Knight to Mr. Geo. Walton’s line, then somewhat southerly by 
Walton’s line up to ye road,"  John Knight, son of the above john, in his will of 1770, 
speaks of his land at Hodgdon’s Point, on the east side of the lane leading from his 
dwelling-house to Portsmouth, adjoining the land of Geo. Walton.
