  • Notes 
    • Samuel Dam was one of the early settlers on Dame's Point, at the junction of Fresh Creek with the Cochecho River. It had been given to his father by "Town Clerk" Pomfrett. It seems that Samuel and his elder brother Pomfret both lived there for a while. Samuel's wife's name is not known, but they had children, the eldest of whom was named Samuel, born about 1724, who married and had a family. p268«s12»
