A large number of planters, among them Captain Francis Champernoune, Nicholas Frost, James Treworgy (sometimes called Treworthy), William Everett, Alexander Shapleigh, Edward Small, John Edgecomb, john Pickes, John Heard, Thomas Spencer, and Peter Wyer, had laid the foundation for a permanent settlement at “Pascattaway." This was known as the Piscattaqua, or Pascattaqua, Plantation until its incorporation as the town of Kittery; in the light of subsequent events, "the most prominent point and centre of interest" in the Province of Maine. Piscataqua originally comprised the territory now known as Kittery, Eliot, South Berwick, and Berwick.  In I647, the name was changed and it was incorporated as the town of Kittery, thus becoming the first "and oldest town in Maine. Williamson states that the “Plantations of Piscadaqua." were at least seven years of age in 163: the name is of Indian origin, meaning “right angle." Captain Thomas Cammock, nephew of the Earl of Warwick, settled first on the eastern bank of the Piscataqua River, where he obtained a grant of land from Gorges, June 2, 1633. His Black Point patent was dated November 1, 1631, and he afterward removed there,1' at a date unknown.
