Landmarks in Ancient Dover, New Hampshire by Mary P. Thompson, Durham, N.H. ©1892, Printed by the Republican Press Association, Concord, N.H. LANDMARKS: Hogsty Point NAMES: LAYTON (LAIGHTON), Thomas Hogsty Point. Mentioned in 1652, when 40 acres of upland at Welshman’s cove were granted to Thomas Layton in 1652, ten acres of which were laid out on hoggstie poynt. No further mention of these ten acres of upland is made. They perhaps intrenched on the Furber grant at the mouth of the Great Bay. The other 30 acres were laid out at the head of Thomas Layton’s marsh, the south bound being a Great Rock towards longe poynt. The name of Hogsty point has not been prepetuated, but it was probably on one side of Hogsty cove. PG 106 - Submitted by C.
