John Damon came to Scituate before 1633 with his sister, Hannah, as minors under the guardianship of their uncle, William Gillson. They were established in their inheritance as heirs of their uncle by the Court in 1649, "John and Hannah Damon are allowed by the Court to be lawful heirs of William Gillson, it being proven by diverse persons that Gillson had often said that he intended to make these (his sister's children) his heirs. (Colony Records, 1649) John Damon inherited Mr. Gilson's residence on Kent Street, the second lot from Satuit Brook.

John's widow, Martha, was the executrix of his estate and among his children mentioned in the will was Ebenezer, "a weake childe." The Town records of 1680 instructed, "their deputies to move the Court for a rehearing touching the land of Ebenezer Damon being ordered to be improved by Peter Bacon (the second husband of Martha Damon, Ebenezer's mother), lest the child be outed of his inheritance." The Court did not actually order a rehearing so we assume that the matter was taken care of satisfactorily.
