  Notes	About 1654, John, purchased in New London,CT the homestead of Capt.Daniel Dennison, who moved to Mystic. In 1657 John's agent sold the estate to William Chapman. It is possible that John stayed at New London only a short time. At the time of his death in 1675, his estate inventory included a house and 8 acres, his homestall, 10 acres of pasture, 5 acres of land all in Watertown and a right to land in New London,Ct. John was in Capt. Beers' Company in King Philps War. As the story is stated, about 11Sep1675, Capt.Beers, with 36 men went up the Connecticut River to observe how things stood at a new plantation called Squakeag, now Northfield. The Indians a few days before(unknown to them) had fallen upon the place and killed 10 persons, and now laid an ambush for the English, whom it appears they expected. Capt. Beers' Company had marched 30 miles through a hideous forest. On arriving within three miles of the place, they were fired upon by a host of enemies and a large portion of their number fell. The other gained an eminence and fought bravely till their Captain was slain, when they fled in every direction. Only sixteen escaped, John Chinery was wounded and died the next day at Northfield, leaving one child. His widow Sarah never remarried and died almost 30 years later.
