Neal of Portsmouth, then Strawberry Bank, was governor of the plantation there and Capt. Thomas Wiggin was governor of the plantation at Dover. The lands were held under conflicting claims or land grants made by compa- nies in England. A dispute arose between Captain Neal and Captain Wiggin as to the boundary line between their territories. The former contended that his line was along the shore of the Pascataqua; Captain Wiggin contended that his line extended from Canney’s Creek, on the Pascatagua, across to Hogsty Cove, on Great Bay. Both of the captains were high spirited and haughty, but withal dis- creet. They met and had a furious war of words and threatened each other with drawn swords. They did not come to blows but


came very near shedding blood about the posses- sion of this piece of land. Mr. Hubbard, the worthy historian who recorded the story, says that “both the litigants had so much wit in their anger as to waive the battle, each ac- counting himself to have done very manfully, in what was threatened; so as in respect, not of what did, but what might have fallen out, the place to this day (1680) retains the formidable name of Bloody Point.” The name continued to


be used in town meet- ings and legal documents down to 1713, when the General Court set it off from Dover and called it Newington. The name has since then been confined to the point of land which is the southern terminus of the Portsmouth & Do- ver Railroad bridge, as it was in that vicinity that the bloodless encounter of words occurred between the valiant captains of


Dover and Strawberry Bank. The name of this beauti-


ful river has been spelled in various ways, although the variations are not so numerous as those of New Hampshire’s great lake. In common phrase it is spelled Piscatagua, but Rev. Dr. A. H. Quint, Gov. Charles W. Bell, Miss Mary P. Thompson, and others who have studied the question carefully, say the correct spelling is Pas- cataqua, which was the very earliest spelling and was used generally down to seventy-five years ago. The Indians used it for ages before the White Man came here and according to the best authorities it means a divided tidal water, or branched river, which it is in fact. The name Piscatagua does not mean anything in Indian or English language and it ought not to be used by intelligent people.
