Shurtleff, Plymouth County Records, Pg.116) The list of Plymouth townsmen dated 15 February 1668 included John and a 16 June 1668 list of those entitled to vote included John Barrow and Robert Barrows. John was granted land there and on 15 June 1674 a grant of land to him was excepted with certain rules. On 9 April 1684, at South Meadows, 10 upland acres were laid out to John, next to his meadow land on the northwest side of the river. On 24 November1684 he was granted 30 acres of land.

The 30 acres of land at Monponset {Plympton} was valued at 5 lbs and the house and land at home and all the meadow at Carver belonging to it valued 25 lbs.
