	Jackson’s Point.  Mentioned Jan. 26, 1773, when a tract of upwards of 47 acres, 
belonging to Jonathan and Robert Leathers, is described as running southerly along the 
land of Samuel Chesley and Wm. Jackson to high-water mark at Jackson’s Point, so 
called, then easterly by the upland 4 1/2 rods to Robert Leather’s thatch-bed, and along 
this bed S. 13 deg. W. to the channel of Oyster river, westerly by this channel to the land 
of Mary and Jonathan Chesley and northerly to the highway.  The name of this point has 
not been retained, but the tract referred to appears to be the Leathers land in Durham, 
now owned in part by the heirs of the late John T. Emerson.
