LANDMARKS:  Indian Path

NAMES:   RAWSON, Edward; COFFIN, Peter; COFFIN, Peter, Jr.;

	Indian Path.  Mentioned May 4, 1657, when 200 acres of land were laid out to 
"Mr. Edward Rawson, secretary;" one half of it on "the east side of the Quochecho river," 
and the other side half on the west side, "a little below the Indian path," which path "lyeth 
about three miles above Peter Cofyns house."  (N.H. Prov. Pap., 1 : 229.)  This land was 
afterwards acquired by Richard Waldron, who conveyed it in part, if not wholly, to Peter 
Coffin May 27, 1671.  It apparently joined the Indian reservation above Tolend, called in 
the early records the "Indian corn-ground."  Peter Coffin of Exeter, June 2, 1696, 
conveyed to his son Peter of Nantucket a tract of 200 acres on "the north side of 
Cochechow river, at a place called "ye six Indian wigwams."  (See Indian Corn-ground.)
