John was baptised on Jan. 16, 1695, with two brothers (probably when several years old), in Milford. He and his brothers, Jeremiah and Benjamin, were among the first settlers of Newtown, Conn., where they took their "pitch" with others for home lots, commencing April 7, 1712, each to have 4 acres of meadow land; and again in 1720, the brothers, John and Benjamin, are together alloted 10 acres more.
John was appointed Selectman in 1722, and held the office 13 years; was Town Clerk from 1739 to 1752. He was a weaver. He was known as "Lieutenant John". He died very suddenly at the age of 80 years. His wife, Mary Porter, lived to be 97 years old.
