NOTES.

The name of Frederick Parker, a graduate from Dartmouth College, in 1828, should have been inserted at its proper place, on page 112. He was supposed by the writer, to have entered college from Bedford, N. H., of which place he was a native, and the mistake was not discovered until too late. He commenced the practice of law, and died in Bangor, Me., in 1834.

In Family Notices, page 53, under the name of Brown, Aaron, the names of his children were by accident omitted, and were as follows: Mercy, who lives at the house of Capt. Jesse Eaton; Hannah, who married Samuel Cass, Esq.; Shuah, who died soon after her marriage with David Norton; Aaron, who married Abiel Brown and settled on the home farm.

Of the children of the Rev. Mr. Prince, Caleb settled in town and was deacon of the church for some years before removing to Portland. He married Martha Moore; they had five children, viz: John, Joseph, Caleb, Sarah and Martha. Caleb is not living. The two other sons reside in Chelsea, and do business in Boston, Mass. Martha married Mr. Eliphalet Webster, and lives in Portland, Me.

KINNECUM.

This name, put down on the map of the town as Cunningham, on the evidence of certain deeds of adjacent property, may be of Indian origin. The shape of the pond, as I think from personal observation, was once long and narrow. Hence, the name invariably derived by the Indians, from the characteristics of the place. Quinne -signifying long, and asquam, or aguam-water. In compound words the prefix of the final syllable was dropped when necessary for cųphony, giving Quinnegyam or Quinneguam, corrupted into Kinnecum, much nearer to the true name than is the usual fate of the Indian appellations among us. The meaning of this was ascertained since the map was finished, from Hon. C. E. POTTER, who is probably better versed in Indian lore than any other man in the State.

PATTEN'S HILL.

A very extensive view may be had from this hill, no less than thirteen meeting houses being visible. Among the hills which are said to be seen from here, bỹ good eyes in a fair day may be named :— Powow, Breakfast hill in Rye, celebrated in Indian warfare; Tuckaway and Saddleback, Agamenticus in Maine; Gunstock Mts. in Gilford; the Cardigan hills, Rugged Mts., Kearsarge and Sunapee, Jo English, and the Uncanoonucs. The Grand Monadnock, and by the aid of a glass, Asctitney in Vt., and the silver summit of Mount Washington.

For quite a distance on the eastern horizon the line of the ocean is seen when lighted up by the rays of the sun. The smoke of the engine on the Portsmouth & Concord Railroad, is visible for more than thirty miles on its route.
