These stones are located on Route 106 south of Reading.
The Crown Point Road's terminus was at Fort No. 4 in Charlestown, NH. In 1754, while living near the Fort, nine-months pregnant Susannah Johnson was captured with her family by Indians and forced to march to Quebec. Near these stones along the river in the background, she gave birth to her daughter. She and the baby were allowed to live and were eventually ransomed back to Fort No. 4 after spending time in Quebec.
