LANDMARKS:  Island Falls
  
NAMES:   WADLEY, Robert; RAND, John;

	Island Falls.  So called in 1669, when Robert Wadley’s claim to these falls was 
confirmed by a grant from the town of Dover.  And again Aug. 26, 1679, when John Rand 
conveyed to Robert Wadley 120 acres of land "between ye Island Falls and ye second falls 
in Lamperell river."  They are now called Wadleigh’s falls.  In an old plan of 1739, five 
islands are represented at these falls.
