According to his descendant, John D. Fish, John had been in Stratford, Fairfield County, Connecticut in 1654 and several years prior where he sold his home lot of about 6 acres to John Willcockson Sepember 29, 1655. John removed from New London to Stonington, New London County, Connecticut prior to 1666 where in 1668 he had met the 2 year residence requirement to be acknowledged as an "inhabitant" and was 1 of 43 heads of families enumerated in the colonial census taken that year. For being enumerated, John received 12 acres of land, allotment #5, upon which he was to build within 6 months. John lived there until his death. His son Samuel sold this land to James Dean December 26, 1710 who later sold it to Ebenezer Searies November 8, 1711.

2. John was an acting town clerk August 6, 1674.

3. John and his son Samuel volunteered in 1675 for the Narragansett War or expedition against the Indians under King Philip (King Philip's War). For this effort both received land grants in what became Voluntown, New London County, Connecticut - so named for the three hundred or so volunteers. John's land passed to Samuel and Samuel then passed his land to his son Samuel and the original land of his father he divided between his sons Moses and Aaron who settled there.

4. August 22, 1679 John was unanimously voted schoolmaster for the town of Stonington "to instruct children in reading, writing, arithmetic and grammar as shall be inclined".

5. John was admitted to the First Congregational?Church of Stonington December 5, 1680.
