14 May 1666, John Mowry & Edward Inman, bought from William Minnion of Punskepage, MA, 2000 acres in Rhode Island, bounded partly on the Pawtucket River.

John was made freeman, 1 May 1672. He was one of those who stayed and "went not away" in King Phillips' War.

By about 1674, John was married to Mary, surname unknown.

n 1682, Providence appointed commissioners to run the lands and define boundaries. Deed granted to John & Nathaniel Mowry, Edward Inman & Stephen Arnold was signed by the commissioners. Arthur Fenner, William Hopkins, John Whipple, Jr., Thomas Olney, Jr., Richard Arnold. It was for 3500 acres of land from the west side of Woonsocket Hill eastward nearly to Pawtucket and from Woonsocket and the Blackstone river on the north, southerly nearly to Stillwater & Georgiaville. Two parcels.
In 1668, Inman sold one share of his right to John Steere and one share to Thomas Walling which then made five proprietors: Inman, Steere, Walling, a joint share held by the brothers John & Nathaniel, a share held by Nathaniel alone, and a share held by John alone.

John and his wife are thought to have died of smallpox and are buried in a small family burial ground on Sayles Hill, North Smithfield. Nathaniel was appointed administrator of his estate.
