�"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. (Plymouth Colony Records 3:58). John Tedd in his writ against the Inhabitants of the Kennebec dated 18 [?] June 1657, for seizing his vessel near "Agosset" calls John Richards their captain. I do not find him in Weymouth as you state on p. 255. The Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire calls him, p. 585, son of Thomas Richards of Dorchester & says he bought from Robin Hood the island of Arrowsic in 1644 and sold it in 1654. He lived in Connecticut and married into the Winthrop family.

Towwoh [double underlined], the Indian name of some feature connected with Lebanon. A deed from Samuel Came of York to John Moody of York sells Moody one proprietor's right in the New Township abve [above?] Berwick commonly called "Towo," 14 Sept. 1754. (York Deeds 32:38) Rev. Amos Marin, a native of York Me. and a graduate of Harvard College, 1729 was first minister in Rochester 1733 to 1760. He lived about five miles from the first settled part of Lebanon. He came to the township ten [underlined] times between 1737 and 1759 and baptized in the Lebanon Meeting House and on each occasion he wrote in the Rochester church records the name and residence as "Towow." [underlined] Mr. Marin's Account shows that he visited the sick in this township and charged the name and the residents as "Towow," [underlined] nine times. "Towoh", the Indian name for Lebanon by William Willis, 1856, (Maine Historical Collections, 4:111). I think I once saw the form given as Towrook but I cannot cite the authority.
