Part Two of Gazetteer:

COCHECHO or DOVER RIVER - has its source among a number of small ponds in the 
town of New Durham.  It thence takes a southerly direction through the towns of 
Farmington and Rochester, where it unites with its southern branch, called Isinglass river.  
From this place the main stream passes through Dover, where it falls into 
Newichawannock or Salmon fall river, thence to Hilton’s point where the southern branch 
meets it.  From this junction to the sea, which is 8 miles distant, the course of this river is 
rapid and never freezes.
