LANDMARKS:  The Upper Huntress

NAMES:  HUNTRESS, Mary; HUNTRESS, George; HUNTRESS, Samuel; 

	The Upper Huntress is in Newington, a short distance above Paul’s 
creek, at the foot of an old road along the east side of a point of land 
owned by Miss Mary huntress, to whom the landing place  also belongs.  This 
is a remnant of the old Huntress estate on this shore, acquired by George 
Huntress about 200 years ago, half of which was inherited by his son Samuel, 
whose grave is still to be seen not far from the landing place that bears his
name.  Here he doubtless moored his gundelows and other craft, mentioned in 
the public records.  It was voted by the N.H. General Assembly, Dec. 13, 
1746, "that Saml Huntriss be allowed fifteen shills and nine Pence in full 
for ye use of his Gundloe 18 days at ye Fort."  And the  "Acct of Saml 
Huntriss for gundaloe hire at N.Castle" is again mentioned the same day. 
(N.H. Prov. Pap., 5 : 475, 855.)
