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.
