From “Landmarks in Ancient Dover, New Hampshire” by Mary Thompson 1825-1894

Dame's Point. This point, so called on Whitehouse's map of 

Dover, is between the Cochecho river and the mouth of Fresh creek, at their junction, where Wm. Pomfrett had a grant of 100 acres the 5th, 10 mo., 1652, laid out June 5, 1674. 

Wm. Pomfrett, March 26, 1675, out of love and affection to his grand-child Wm. Dam, then about 20 years of age, son of John Dam, Sr., conveyed to him all the upland and meadow granted said Wm. Pomfrett the 5th, 10 mo., 1652, "lying and 

being from y* mouth of Fresh creek, on y" western side towards Cochecho — that is to say, it runs up from 

Cochecho river by said creek's side, from y* mouth thereof, the creek being the bounds thereof on y* eastern side. And from the mouth of Fresh creek it runs up the river, which is y* bound on y*^ south and by west side." These bounds were renewed, at the request of Pomfrett 

Dam (son of Wm.), June 9, 1724. 

Another Dame's Point is on the Newington shore of Little Bay, at the lower side of Welshman's cove, where John Dam, Sr., of Dover had a grant of 40 acres of upland in 1652, 

laid out the 10th, 11 mo., 1656, between Richard Cater or Carter's laud and that of Elder Nutter. This point is often called Joshua's Point, from Mr. Joshua Pickering, the late 

proprietor, by whose heirs it is now owned.
