    John was a farmer and surveyor of land, and held numerous town offices.

He took the oath of fidelity Dec. 17, 1782. As is seen from various specimens of his writing now in existence, he was an excellent penman. His right arm was struck with the palsy, and he then wrote by binding a pen to his arm. A manuscript work of his is now said to be in existence on the elements of geometry and surveying, written at the age of twenty. He resided at Colcehster on the estate he received from his parents in 1769, and died of apoplexy. The records of the Daughters of the American Revolution say, “He was unfit for military duty, but gave civil service to the town”. The fif on which he and his son, John, played is in the possession of Mrs. Marion Otis Hotchkiss of Pawtucket, R.I., in 1921, and has twice been on exhibition in the Providence Historical Society.
