	Jewell’s Point.  This point, so called on Smith’s map of Durham, in on the 
Lubberland shore, at the lower side of Broad Cove.  It was originally called Needham’s 
Point, and forms part of the present Randall farm.  The name was derived from Bradbury 
Jewell of Tamworth, to whom Thomas Stevenson of Durham, and wife Agnes, Feb. 10, 
1785, conveyed all his homestead plantation of 64 ½ acres, where he (Stevenson) then 
dwelt, together with another tract of 30 acres called Ambler’s marsh, bounded S. by the 
lands of Benjamin and John Smith, westerly by the highway to Durham Falls, and 
northerly and easterly by the lands of Ephraim Davis and the heirs of Wm. Durgin.  (See 
Red Rock and Needham’s Point.)  Bradbury Jewell, after living for some years on this 
shore, removed to Sandwich, N.H.   The Rev. Curtis Coe of Durahm records the marriage 
of Bradbury Jewell, Esq., of Sandwich and Ann Elizabeth Edgerly of Durham, Jan. 4, 
1804. She was the daughter of Moses Edgerly, who seems to have bequeathed her 30 
acres of land in Durham.
