On 5 MAR 1711, he, along with John Corbit and others were permitted to build a saw mill on the town's common, "on Second Bridge (Charles) River, " below the Dedham Tree. This tree was on a bend of the Charles River, a little north of the house of Ellis Bullard in Bellingham. The sawmill was on the north bank of Charles River, a short distance to the northwest from the Bellingham Station on the Air Line Railroad. 

John received land in the sixth division, 22 DEC 1713. On 23 NOV of that year, he was paid for sweeping out the meeting house. On 4 MAR 1617, he became a Selectman. He was then Sgt. John THOMSON. On 24 JAN 1718, John , now Ensign, was chosen part of a committee to take care of the town's records.

John received land in the seventh division of land in 1719. As one of the signers of the petition to make part of Mendon into Bellingham, in 1719, he and John Darling and John Marsh were empowered to call the first town meeting anytime the following March. The town was named Bellingham, after Go. Bellingham, and Mendon protested, but to no avail.

A 30 x35 foot church was raised 20 MAR 1744 at Bellingham, for the Baptist congregation. At first, they had no settled minister, until 1650, when Elnathan WIGHT, one of John's mother's cousins, was ordained and accepted as their first minister. At that time, Baptist members were still being arrested for not supporting the congregational churches (Puritans).
