Captain John Wheelwright founded Exeter New Hampshire in 1638. David Thomson founded the fishing village at Rye in 1623 that some call Odiorne's Point which did not get that name until after about 1665. Captain John Mason held the 1629 land Grant but he never saw New Hampshire. Some credit Edward and William Hilton who settled Dover as Northam.
