John Goodspeed spent the first few years of his life at Barnstable, MA, but after about 1647 lived uninterruptedly at Misteake (now Mystic), MA. Upon his marriage, his father gave him a small tract of land at Misteake for a home, probably the nucleus of the estate owned by him. After reaching the proper age, he was made a freeman and townsman. In 1675-1676 he participated in the Narragansett Wars of King Philip and his allies. He was in the 3rd expedition under Capt. Thomas Howes of Yarmouth, and very probably was in one or more of the other three expeditions. In the division of the gratuity of land granted the soldiers of these wars, John received 112 lots. He probably participated in the bloody battle of Rehoboth on March 26, 1676, where the white mortality was very great, but the power of King Philip was largely crushed.
John's admission as a townsman entitled him to participate in the division of lands of the town propriety. In 1678, his father transferred to him and his brother Ebenezer all of the old homestead except six acres, in consideration of their maintaining him and their mother during the rest of their lives. The old homestead at Misteake (now Marston Mills) is early referred to as "at the South Sea" and the Goodspeeds were called "South Sea men."
The will of John is dated august 5, 1718
"Item. I Give and bequeath to my Loving Wife Experience the use and Improvement of all my personal estate of whatever nature Kind & quality forever both within doors and without for her comfort use and benefit and after her decease in manner following viz: To my eldest son John I Give four Pounds to be allowed and discounted out of the Twenty Pounds he oweth me on verbal promise for upland and meadow he bought of me if his mother see cause otherwise to be paid out of ye estate she may have at her decease.

Signed by John Goodspeed, his mark and a seal.
John was evidently a farmer, and left a huge estate (which included a looking glass, glases, books and a gold piece) for those times. (Son John seems to have been unfilial to his mother Alice in her old age and after the death of his father. As a consequence, in her will she cut him off with a shilling, and directed that what he owed her should be paid "to her loving son Ebenezer.")
