Comments on: Richard ‘Salt Eye’ Storr – Dover, NH’s ghost http://hollowhill.com/dover-ghost-salt-eye-storr Mon, 21 May 2012 14:00:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Fiona Broome http://hollowhill.com/dover-ghost-salt-eye-storr#comment-72 Fiona Broome Tue, 16 Mar 2010 15:10:34 +0000 http://hollowhill.com/ghosthunting/dover-ghost-salt-eye-storr/#comment-72 Thank you, Mr. Hilton! Though -- for the sake of expediency during a busy week -- I'm leaving the article as it was written, I'm glad that you brought this to my attention, and my readers'. I'm always interested in the evolution of spelling, such as when <em>Tyngsborough</em> was popularly replaced with <em>Tyngsboro,</em> and so on. Generally, I prefer the original spellings, as well. Cheerfully, Fiona Thank you, Mr. Hilton!

The misspelling "Cocheco" originated in the early 19th-century at the founding of the Cocheco Mills. Some scribe at the mill's incorporation in Concord got it wrong, and his mistake has caused confusion about the proper spelling ever since.
