Notes 
Individual:
John was one of the many Puritans who came to this country as part of Governor Winthrop's con
tingent of 1630, settling first in Boston, then Charlestown and Watertown. In Watertown he befriended the young and eterprising Thomas Mayhew, for in 1641 he was one of the original five proprietors of Mayhew's newly purchased 'estate' of Martha's Vineyard. He evidently took up residence in Reheboth briefly before moving to the island between 1648 and 1652. There his friendship with the governor was renewed. His homelot, detailed by his son in 1668, was the house directly south of the Governor's, and he was appointed assistant to the chief magistrate of the Island (Governor Mayhew).
Things didn't fare so well between the two in the latter part of the decade, however, for th e governor got angry with John for purchasing some land from the Indians without his permission, Mayhew claiming that he didn't have title to that land in the first place. John won the dispute, but to smooth ruffled feathers consented to a curious 'submission' to the authority of the governor that Thomas was demanding of the people of the island to consolidate his authority. Things were never the same again, and in 1665 John left the island to settle in Plymouth, where he remarried, his wife of 30 some years having died in this decade. John died at the age of 70 after six years of marriage to Bathsheba Pratt.

April 8, 1630, a fleet of four ships sailed from the Isle of Wight, England, bringing Governo r Winthrop and his company; they reached this country between June 12 and July 2. John Daggett was one of the passengers. He settled in Watertown, Massachusetts, where he was made a freeman May 18, 1631About 1646 he removed to Rehoboth, where he was granted lands. In 1648 he was Deputy for Rehoboth. December 1, 1642, he received a grant of twenty acres from Gov. Thomas Mayhew at Marthas Vineyard, where March 29, 1651/2, he was chosen Corporal of the military company on the Vineyard. In the same year he was one of the committee with Mayhew to lay out all highways, and on June 8, 1653, he was chosen Chief Magistrate to manage the business of the Island. His home lot where he lived at Great Harbor was the first one south of Governor Mayhew's. He purchased "Farm Neck," a farm of five hundred acres, from the Indians, December 17, 1660, without the consent of Governor Mayhew;?? litigation with Mayhew followed.

Soon after 1665 he moved to Plymouth, Massachusetts, where his wife died. He married second B athsheba Pratt (probably the widow of Joshua Pratt), August 29, 1667, and ever after made Plymouth his home. He died in Plymouth in 1673 between May 17, the date of his will, and June 4, when it was probated.

In his will which was proved June 4, 1673, he mentions his wife, to whom he gives all his clo thing and household goods, all debts due him in any part of Plymouth Colony, an ox at Saconnessett, the ¶5 in goods due him as part of the pay for his two oxen sold by John Eddy, and the hide and tallow of an ox "which is at the Vineyard to be sent to Boston and the quarters of the ox I give equally to my sons and daughters at the Vineyard." He mentions also two daughters, Elizabeth and Hepzibah, giving them an equal share in several pieces of land on the Island, and also equal shares of his cattle on the Island. To Thomas he gave forty acres on Elizabeth Island, and to Thomas, John, and Joseph his Edgartown lands, and the farm of twenty acres on Marthas Vineyard, "granted to me but not laid out to me." He makes his "two loving friends" overseer of that part of his estate at the Island.
