Author Description

Excerpt from Annual Report, 1989 This devastation left a debilitating fear among the remaining imbabi tants of Oyster River. Prior petitions from the community requesting separation from Dover were not again addressed until 1716 when Oyster River Plantation was deemed a distinct parish within the governance of Dover. Thanks to the relentless efforts of the Reverend Hugh Adams, a charter to incorporate the parish as a township was granted by the provincial government in 1732 and, at Mr. Adams' suggestion, the town was called durham. The boundaries set out at that time included all of Madbury, Lee and part of Newmarket. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
