John Damon was born about 1621, likely in Kent, England, the son of John Damon and Hannah Gilson. His birth is often seen as 11 November 1621 [Damon], but I have not found a primary source for this. He was an important citizen of Scituate in Plymouth Colony, a large land owner, a miller, and a sergeant in the military. He served as Deputy to the General Court, was a Sergeant in the militia, and was a miller. He is my 10th great-grandfather on my grandfather Arthur Washburn Ellis Davis’ side of the family.St. Mildred's, Tenterden
John and his sister Hannah were minors when they migrated to New England in 1632 under the guardianship of their uncle Mr. William Gilson. [Anderson] In 1649 “John and Hannah Daman are allowed by the Court to be lawful heirs of William Gilson, it being proved by diverse persons that Gilson had often said that he intended to make these [his sister’s children] his heirs.” [Colony Records 1649 & Deane]
William Gilson was a member of Rev. John Lothrop’s congregation, many of whom came from Kent, and was fairly well-to-do, a good churchman, and of excellent abilities. He was literate as his inventory includes a Bible and ten other books. [Anderson]
In 1636 William Gilson built the Colony’s first mill, a windmill, on the Third Cliff at Scituate. After he died on 1 February 1639/40 [NEHGR 4:36], it became the passed to his nephew John Daman. [Pratt]
It is said that both Gilson and his wife Frances were devoted to their nephew and niece. That he might “leave them something after his dayes was ended” the Gilson applied for and received from the Court an allotment of more land than he personally could conveniently cultivate because “although he had no children of his owne, yet that he had two of his sisters children, which he looked upon as his own.” [Records of the Colony of New Plymouth, hereafter “PCR,” II:143]
In his 1639 will, Gilson gives legacies “to my wife Frances, &c to nephew John Daman my lot on the third cliff after the next crop is taken off—To niece Hannah Daman £20 in money. To nephew Daniel Romeball 40s money—to my paster Mr. John Lothrop £5 in money.” John Daman inherited his uncle’s residence on Kent Street near Satuit Brook, the second lot from Satuit Brook (Edward Foster’s being the first). [Deane] I have not found any information in records on Hannah as a adult.
John farmed 80 acres of land that had been awarded to Gilson on John and Hannah’s account. [Pratt] He is on the 1643 list of men able to bear arms in Plymouth Colony. [NEHGR 4:247]
On 16 June 1644 John Damon married Katherine Merritt at Scituate. [Scituate VR 2:96] She was baptized 25 March 1621[?/22] at St. Mildred’s, Tenterden, Kent, the daughter of Henry Merritt. [Kent History & Library Centre P364/1/A/1; Page: 116] Henry Merritt was a Conihasset Purchaser.
Katherine and John had six children born in Scituate [births of all but the younger Zachariah recorded Scituate VR 1:125]:
1. Deborah Damon, born 25 April 1645; married Thomas Woodworth 8 February 1666 [Scituate VR 2:97]
2. John Damon, born 3 November 1647; served in King Philip’s War; no record of a family [Deane]; died unmarried before 23 October 1676 when inventory taken
3. Zachariah Damon, born February 1649; d. February 1649 [Scituate VR 1:125]
4. Mary Damon, born July 1651; died between 1676 [mentioned in father’s estate documents] and 1695/6 [called deceased in brother Daniel’s will]; unmarried
5. Daniel Damon, born February 1652[?/3]; died Scituate in February 1695/6, unmarried [will and inventory Wills State Archives in Boston Wills 1686-1702 vol 1-1F on FamilySearch]
6. Zachariah Damon, born ca. 1654; was an officer in King Philip’s War [Deane]; married Martha Woodworth June 1679 and had a large family; died 3 Sept 1730 at Scituate [Scituate VR 2:381]; shown to be son of John through various records including owning Conihasset land originally belonging to his father and being called brother in Daniel Damon’s will]
I descend from Zachariah. He and his sister Deborah married Woodworth siblings.
Katherine (Merritt) Damon died 8 December 1655 at Scituate. [Scituate VR 2:379] She was just 33 years old.
John married, second, Martha Howland, on 15 January 1659 at Scituate. [Scituate VR 2:96] She was born about 1638 to Arthur and Margaret Howland who were Quakers. Her uncle is Mayflower passenger John Howland who is also my 10th great-grandfather.
Martha and John had seven children born Scituate [all but Martha recorded Scituate VR 1:125]:
7. Experience Damon, born 17 April 1662 [Scituate VR 1:125]; married 1st Patience [—?—;] 2nd Ruth Low [Damon]
8. Silence Damon born 2 January 1663[?/4][Scituate VR 1:125]; married Samuel Tower; died Hingham 15 November 1702 [Damon]
9. Ebenezer Damon born 11 January 1665[?/6] [Scituate VR 1:125]; he is referred to as “weak” in his fathers’ estate records so unlikely he married
10. Ichabod Damon born 8 April 1668 [Scituate VR 1:125]; married Sarah Litchfield [Damon]
11. Margrett Damon born 20 July 1670 [Scituate VR 1:125]; married John Bull [Damon]
12. Hannah Damon born 2 December 1672 [Scituate VR 1:125]; married 1st John May; 2nd Preserved Hall [Damon]
13. Martha Damon, born ca 1674-76; married Edward/Edmond Gross [Damon]
John is referred to as “warm-hearted, generous and ever ready to be of such measure of assistance as he was able, to a friend or neighbor who stood in need.” [Pratt] Pratt provides several examples of John Damon’s strength of character. He was surety for his friend Arthur Howland Jr, [his wife Martha’s brother] who wanted to marry Governor Prence’s daughter Elizabeth. Prence forbade the marriage as Arthur was a Quaker. John took a risk backing his friend against such a powerful man. He advocated for Elder William Hatch to receive common land, going against the powerful James Cudworth [my 11th great-grandfather] and three others. When it was his turn to receive common land, the committee claimed he couldn’t receive more, perhaps because he had already received land from his uncle. He appealed at Court and won the decision. For more about the land dispute see PCR 5:170.
John Damon was propounded to take up his freedom at 7 June 1648 Court. [PCR 2:125]
He is also listed as a Freeman in 1651 [2:167], 1652 [PCR 3:8], 1655 [PCR 3:78], 1670 [PCR 5:275] John Daman Sr and Jr are on the 1673 list of Freemen at Scituate. [Deane]
He lived at the southwest end of Greenfield Lane where it unites with the Drift Way. [Deane] It is also supposed that he lived on the land he inherited from his uncle on the Third Cliff. [Summer] In current day Scituate, there is a Gilson Road off Driftway on the Third Cliff, so perhaps the two homestead locations are one and the same.

It is fortuitous that John was a Conihasset Partner as the purchasers kept detailed records which have been transcribed and published by the late Jeremy Dupertuis Bangs. Pratt and Deane also reference the records in their Scituate histories.
The Conihasset Grant was a large area of land in Scituate, north of Plymouth, that was assigned to four Adventurers in 1633 which included Timothy Hatherly. Hatherly was the only one who settled in the Colony, and on 1 December 1646 he divided the grant into 30 shares, keeping three shares for himself. John Damon, planter, purchased one share for £108, as did his future father-in-law Henry Merritt. In 1650, for example, it was decided to otherwise grant 25 acres per share. A second division of two 20 acre lots per share was ordered in 1662. Over the ensuing years, the partners kept records of further land divisions and whenever land changed hands. This makes it easy to see that John Damon’s land stayed in his family for some time, with both his sons Experience and Zachariah owning land there. [Bangs]
There are records of many land transactions, often involving his son Experience, “in the right of” John Damon meaning it was land that was originally John’s. Some of the land transactions directly involving John [Bangs]:
- John Damon sold his share in the three-mile tract at Accord Pond to Timothy Hatherly (no date).
- John Damon’s 20 acre lot of the first division, near the Gulfe Iland,; undated and seems to be recording that he rightfully owns the land rather than recording a division or purchase.
- John Damen sold to Mr Timothy Hatherly, gent., one whole share of land which belongs unto the partners of Cohasset alias Conihaset lying by Accord Pond (undated).
- Long entry about the 200 acres of upland at Musquashcut at Tymothy Hatherly’s farm, 400 acres of upland at his farm at Sittuate Harbor, 136 acres of marsh meadow, and £10 16s paid per the purchasers of Conihasset to Hatherly. “The said lands shall lye without any alteration and he may record it at Plymouth Court.” Votes on 1 March 1649 by the Partners including James Cudworth, Henerey merite “his mark” [H], John Damon.
- Another entry about Tymothy Hatherly’s land near Bound Brooke and Accord Pond, plus additional land, that he may record it at Plymouth Court. Signed on 1 March 1649 by Partners including Henery Merite [his mark], John Damen, James Cudworth,
- On 27 February 1661[/?2] there was a division of 40 acres into two 20-acre allotments. Mr. Tilden and ten others voted for the division; John Damen, John Booth and 6 other men voted against. Lots drawn include lot number 2 by John Damon.
- Timothy Hatherly sold 23 shares of the three-mile tract at Accord Pond to five men on 28 Jan 1663 (1664) but did not at the time list the Conihasset partners to whom the share belonged: Timothy Hatherly 12 shares; 11th share he bought from John Williams Jr (2 shares), John Williams Sr (1.5), Charles Chauncy, John Damon, Edward Jenkins, Rodulphus Elmes, Mrs. Tart, and John Hore (one share each), Isack Chittenden, Samuel House, and Samuel Jackson (half a share each).
- On 28 May 1688 John Damman’s 10 acres laid out on the easterly side of Bound Brook, one of his 20 acre lots of the last division.
- 8 Jan [1694/5] Purchasers voted for the choice and taking up of a 10 and/or 20 acre lot to each 30th part or share of Conihasset land and lots were drawn. John Daman 10 acres drawing 13th; 20 acres drawing 6th.
Some of the boundaries mentioned in John’s property include Little Island, marsh land near Rev. Charles Chauncey’s land, two ponds and the hill against the sea, Gulf Island, the Great Marsh, Hoopole Neck Swamp, Merritt’s Neck, Bound Brook. In 1649 there was a Daman’s Island in the Gulf Marshes. [Deane]
Records pertaining to his uncle William Gilson’s land:
At 6 June 1649 court, John Damman of Settuaat requested yt hee might orderly injoy his right in the lands of Mr William Gillson, desseased; his proposition or request was refered unto the jury above written, which said jury found the said John Damman the lawfull heaire aparent unto all the lands of Mr William Gillson, deceased. Of this see more in the fifteenth page forward in this booke. [PCR 2:140-1]
At the same court, John Damman of Seteaat required yt he might injoy his right in the lands of Mr William Gillson of Seteaat, aforesaid desseased. [2:142-3]
To clear up the aforesaid right, these following writings were openly read & approvd upon oath: Wee, whose names are heer underwritten doe give testimony, under our hands, this 7th day of June 1649, yt wheras William Gillson late of Seteaat, desseased, in his life time did require earnestly of the townsmen aforsaid severall pcells of land for accomodation of the sd William Gillson, but being required of him by us whose names are heer underwriten the reason of his desire of so mutch land, being ancient & haveing no isew [issue] of his body to inherite the same after him, his answare was, yt hee had brought over with him into New England two of his sisters children from thaire parrents, and was bound in conscience both to take care & to pvide for them as if they weer his owne; and wee conceave yt the land was granted unto him according unto his desire in yt behalfe.
Upon oaths of Humfry Turner, Henery Rowly, Henery Cobb, Barnard Lumbert

The 24 of May 1649. These psents testifyeth to whom it may concern, yt I doe remember that Mr Gillsons plea with us for land was, yet allthough hee had no children of his owne, yet yt hee had two of his sisters children, wch he looked upon as his owne, & so did desire to leave them somthing after his dayes are ended; and so for John Damman I have heard Mr Gillson say yt hee should have his land after his wives dayes weer ended; and I have lickwise heard Mr Gillsons wife acknowlidge it, & further yt shee should not wrong the said John & Hanna of what was her husbands will about the lands, yet shee would not for som reasons have the said John & Hanna know her husbands will in yt business for the psent. Thus mutch for the prsent I doe call to mind to my remembrance, and can safly testify.

Concerning the abovesaid John Damman, for the clearing of his right and title unto the abovesaid land of Mr William Gillson, deceased, see more in the fifth page bakward of this booke, p 190.
Mr Hatherle was ordered by the Court to set at right such thinges as concern Thomas Rawlins & John Damman, by reason of & concerning some cost & charges bestowed by the said Thomas Rawlins upon the lands of the aforsaid Mr Gillson.

John’s military service:
- In1660 Sergeant John Damon was directed by Plymouth Court to take charge of a troop of horse which had been ordered in 1658. [Summer]
- At 5 June 1666 Court, an order was sent to the military company at Scituate: “wee…must signify unto you that wee judge that youer voate was very vnaduised [unadvised], and with respect to Captaine Cudworth, directly against our advise…and also conserning Mr Peirse, we have not to object concerning him but that hee is a stranger to us, and doe therfore att prsent order Serjeant John Damman to take that charge, whoe was next in nomination by youer owne voate, and will manage it to the best of his abillities… “Serjeant John Damman: These are to signify unto you, that the Court have and doe heerby order and appoint you to take the charge and command of the milletary companie of Scittuate untill further order, requiring you to call them into Armes and to drill and exercise them according to order to the best of youer abillities and incase of any reall service that Gods providence may any way put us upon; for which necessary defence or otherwise you are to attend to such orders as by the Court or councell of warr shalbee directed unto you.” My note: this to do with the disenfranchising of the very able Cudworth because of his refusal to persecute Quakers. This shows people of Scituate tried to remain true to Cudworth but the colony leaders would not allow it. [PCR 4:127]
- At 2 April 1667 Court every town was to have a council to dispose of the general stock of arms and ammunition as an occasion may require. Scituate: Cornett Studson, John Daman, Isacke, Chettenden, Edward Jenkens, Isacke Bucke. [PCR 4:145]
- Joseph Turner was injured and it can be seen he was also injured early in 1673: “Chose Serj. John Daman to go with Joseph Turner and procure a cure for him.”
- Scituate had 20 men in the Naragansett Battle of King Philip’s War, December 1675. [Deane] He was recorded in action against the Naragansett’s on 19 December 1675. [Summer]
John Damon is also included in records pertaining to his involvement in the church.
- There was a split in the Scituate church involved Pastor Charles Chauncy’s followers on one side and William Vassall and his adherents on the other side. Vassal believed in religious toleration. Chauncy rebuffed Hatherly’s offer to gift him a house and land to stay in Scituate, but eventually accepted. Those of the church who signed a document in September or October 1653 accepting the house and land for the minister included John Damon.
- In autumn of 1654 Rev. Mr. Chauncy retired from Scituate after a troubled tenure and members of the Scituate Church wrote him a letter on 1 April 1675, replying to a 1674 letter from him. They wrote they “would gladly lay aside all former offences taken up or ancient disagreements and differences betwixt us….and in that you desire fellowship with us in the gospel that we may have communion one with another as the Churches of Christ, we do cordially embrace your motion, &c.” Signed Nicholas Baker, Thomas Clap, and John Daman “in the name and with consent of the Church.” [Deane]
John Damon died before 23 October 1676 when his inventory was taken. He was about 55 years old.
The inventory of Sergeant John Daman of Scituate’s estate was taken 23 October 1676. [Wills 1663-1686 vol 1-4, State Archives Boston on Family Search] It is a difficult document to decipher but it appears his personal estate totaled £208 14s 1d, and his real estate totaled £170 14s. Some items in his personal estate include books; arms & ammunition; lumber; carpenter tools; cloth & yarn; crops such as rye, barley Indian corn and hay; farm animals including oxen, cows, sheep, horse, swine. Debts deducted from the total amounted to just over £6.
Land Sergeant John Damon died seized of:
Five acres or thereabouts and two acres of meadow 80 0 0
At the second cliff 5 acres of upland and three acres of meadow 15 10 0
Four acres of upland and three acres of meadow at the third cliff 23 0 0
1 share of the A— grant 40 0 0
1/2 share of Conihassett 12 0 0
Martha Daman gave oath to the inventory 30 October 1676 before James Cudworth, Assistant. She had married Peter Bacon of Hingham 19 February 1679/80. [NEHGR 121:205]
On 3 July 1677 his widow Martha Daman with Arthur Howland of Marshfield bound unto the Court £400 concerning Sergeant John Daman’s estate and she obtained letters of administration. [PCR 5:237]
The former settlement of John Daman’s estate amongst his children was presented court on 2 March 1679/80. There fell to the children to each £20 to ten of them, and £40 to the eldest of them. Martha, late wife of the said John Daman, satisfied to the oldest son his portion, and to Goodman Daman’s three other children, which he had by his other wife, their portions according to the Courts order. The Court, haveing had divers agitations with the said Martha, and Peter Bacon, her now husband, concerning the prmises, came to this following conclusion viz: that in reference unto Experience and Ichabod, that they shall have the halfe share of the freemens land att Taunton River, to be divided betwixt them in equall and alike proportions, with all and singular the profitts and privilidges appertaining theruento or ariseing therfrom, to them and theire heires and assignes for ever; and in reference unto Ebenezer, the weak child, that the said Peter Bacon, and Martha, his wife, shall have and enjoy as theire owne proper right, all the right that the said Daman had or hath in the lands at Conihassett, both marsh and upland, with all and singulare the appurtenances belonging thereunto, and three pounds and ten shillinges out of John Damans lands on the Cliff, at Scituate, on condition that they carefully bringe up the said Ebenezer untill hee comes of the age of twenty and one yeers; the said lands att Conihasett and att the said cliff, with all and singulare the appurtenances belonging thereunto or to any pte or psell thereof on the conditions above expressed, to belnge unto the said Peter Bacon and Martha his wife, to them and theire heires for ever. Moreover, the Court hath ordered, that the foure daughters, Silence, Margarett, Hannah, and Martha, the daughters of the said John Daman, shall have, each of them, ten pounds, in current country pay, payed to them and every each of them when they come of age or be married; for the pformance wherof the said Peter Bacon stands heerby bound unto the Court to make payment therof as above expressed. There is also a bond under the said Peter Bacon his hand and seale, for the pformance therof. [PCR 6:33-4]
At 1 June 1680 Court, Martha Bacon having already received widow’s thirds including one end of the dwelling house, one third of the cellar, and one third of the barn, during her widowhood. If she remarried she was was to leave the house and land but have a third of the profits. John Cushen, Nathaniell Tilden and Steven Vinall were to appraise the widow’s thirds for Peter Bacon whom she had married so that the eldest son Daniel [John Jr had died] would give annual payment to him during the lifetime of Martha. It is mentioned that the court was misled so that a warrant was issued for Bacon to appear at the July court and ordered him to stop acting upon or improving the estate of lands of Sergeant John Daman. [PCR 6:38-40]

In the town records of 1680 that “they instructed their deputies to move the Court for a re-hearing touching the land of Ebenezer Daman being ordered to be improved by Peter Bacon, lest the child be outed of his inheritance.” The Court, however, did not order a re-hearing. [Deane]
Sadly his son John’s inventory was taken the same day as his father’s. I don’t find any record indicating that either of them died as a result of King Philip’s War.
Martha Bacon lived a very long life, dying at age 93 on 19 December 1732 at Hingham. [Hingham VR 1:94]
