Endicott Rock In the state park on the shore of Lake Winnipesaukee is a rock that was incised with lettering in 1652 by surveyors for the Massachusetts Bay Colony when John Endecott (spelled the way he spelled it) was Governor. The markings on the rock include "IOHN ENDICUT GOV" (sic.) and the initials of the surveyors. This engraved rock was discovered in the 19th century when the Weirs channel, between Lake Winnipesaukee and Paugus Bay, was dredged. New Hampshire
