John Daggett must had a rather remarkable impact on the community of Attleborough. Through his son Ebenezer, he was the father of a number of influential and important Daggett's in the history of Massachusetts and Connecticut, including a president of Yale University, Napthali Daggett, who led a contingent of students against the British when they invaded New Haven during the American Revolution. Another ancestor, bearing his ancestor's name John, wrote a historical sketch of Attleborough in 1894. Deacon John was born and raised in Edgartown before moving to Chilmark to try his hand at tanning. In 1711 he sold his land there and moved to the mainland near the homelands of his uncle with the purchase of 200 acres of land on the main highway between Providence and Boston. That purchase also must have included the 'Old Garrison House' - an Inn and tavern that had been garrisoned with troops during King Phillips War and was a familiar stopping point on that well travelled road. Deacon John sold the inn in 1722 and the building continued to stand until 1806 - 136 years from the time it was built about 1670. He died two years after retiring as it's innkeeper. He was 62. Resided at Edgartown and moved to Chilmark (Tisbury) where he was a tanner. 1711: sold property in Chilmark for £300. 10 July 1711: (Attleborough Town Records quoted in33 p 94): John Devotion, for £400 money paid, conveys the said farm containing two hundred acres, more or less, to John Daggett, of Chilmark, in Dukes County, Martha's Vineyard (the first of that name who settled in this town?), with twenty five acres on 'Nine Mile Run' (except two acres, the barn and orchard on it later - om 1833 - in possession of Penticost Blankinton.) Moved to Attlebrough about 1711-1231 (Vol3, p128); sometime between 17 Oct 1711 and 24 Dec 171233 p 9. "He at once became an innkeeper in the old Garrison House, 'and soon became interested in town and church affairs. His lands being located on the road from Boston to Rhode Island, and his tavern a convenient stopping-place in route, he soon became well known, not only to the people of Attleborough, but to all travelers between Boston and Rhode Island.' "33 p9(primary source prob. S.Daggett) 1720: Representative to the General Court 16 April 1722, John Daggett for £550, sells the same to Alexander Maxey, "being his homestead, containing one hundred and seventy acres in two parts on the Ten Mile River, &c. at a place called Mount Hope Hill."
