�to Lebanon with Baker's Grant 23 Feb. 1825. I conjecture that the Pond is the source of Little River. This river flows down along the eastern part of the town to Little River Falls Village and on through Berwick and empties into the Salmon Falls a mile or two before we pass from Berwick into Somersworth.
If you look at Gerrish's march Aug. 27, 1755, you will see that he encamped near Tombague Pond, a days march north east of Capt Benjamin Tibbett's Garrison in South Lebanon.
Baker's Grant was taxed to Sanford for a time before 1825 I have found in a comprehensive study of all the grants in the State Archives no reference to Lydstone's Grant but my plans show that he had a grant of 300 acres either in Sanford or Lebanon. There may be a reference to it at Augusta after 1820. I don't claim to know any thing in Lebanon although I have been to 200 cemeteries in that town and published in the Vital Records all I could read from the stones there.
Mrs. Eckstorm, will you let me state that "Witchstrot" in Rochester opposite Lebanon is a corruption of the old English surname Whitchcott.
