". . . at Quampeagan, the high point of sandy land between the two streams." Locating Chadbourne’s house at Quamphegan (Quampeagan) is somewhat confusing, as Sagamore Rowls actually exempted the Indian place, “Quamphegan,” from Humphrey Chadbourne’s purchase of Rowls’ land in 1643. If one were to place Humphrey Chadbourne’s house, it might better be said to have been at Newichawannock. Humphrey Chadbourne’s house burned around 1690, and was never rebuilt. By the 1700s, Newichawannock no longer existed as a place name – it was then called Old Fields. The area near the Old Berwick Historical Society Counting House museum, at the falls, later did become known as Quamphegan of the town of Berwick, until being renamed South Berwick when it separated from Berwick in 1814. (It should be noted that the small settlement and mills on the western bank of the Salmon Falls River in New Hampshire was for a while also referred to as Quamphegan, as early settlements at water falls along a river straddled both sides of it).
