�"Newichwannock," [underlined] [sic - Newichawannock] as given by you, is most gratifying. I like "between the rapids at the fork of the Salmon Falls and Cocheco."
"Piscutqua," I have supposed to be the lower part of the river from the sea to the head of the tide. I do now see it in your book.
"Quamphegan" is undoubtedly "dip net falls" in the Salmon Falls at South Berwick
"Squamanagonic" is in New Hampshire six miles west of the Salmon Falls River. I do not find "xvi" in your index. Mr. McDuffee in his History of Rochester p.14, says Squamanagonic means "The water of the clay place hill." He also gives "Cocheco," as "falls and great falls." He also gives Newichwannoc as the Salmon Falls River. The last statement I do not believe to be true.
John Richards of Kennebec took the oath of fidelity at Merry Meeting, 23 Apr. 1654.
