He then moved to Ashford(Eastford) from Marlborough in Middlesex County, MA. Ashford, in 1715, chose him to serve as Constable and a Selectman on the Town Council. In 1718, he was one of the original founders of the Congregational Church in Ashford(Eastford) & in 1721, the church chose him to select the Psalms & direct the singing. In 1723, as one of the original founders of the church, he was granted special pew space. In 1720, John Sr. was selected to serve on the Court Committees & in 1722, he was named Captain of the local military company to handle Indian alarms. He was noted as a courageous & efficient officer who established a military watch at Ashford & a scouting patrol in the Northern part of the town. Indian problems were followed in 1726 by famine in the Eastern Connecticut towns after two years of crop failures & much hunger. After the death of Sarah, John married the widow of Ebenezer Fitch of Windsor, Hartford County, CT. Between DEC1729 & 1738, he acted as executor with Samuel Strong & Bridget Perry of Ebenezer's estate. As Ashford began to divide between East and Western factions, John Perry became a leading man amongst Eastern interests. In 1732, he was elected as the town representative to the General Assembly & in 1734 was on a committee that selected three 'school dames' for Ashford. The committee agreed to pay three ladies(including an Ann Eaton) £4 to teach for three months.
