John Millet inherited half his father's sizeable estate, but much of his property was lost in the Land Bank and he died poor in 1747. He remained in Gloucester, Massachusetts all his life, but in 1737 he and two other men from Gloucester were appointed to lay out lots in the township of New Gloucester, Maine, and in the first distribution of lots the following year, he drew lot #22. That same year he was chosen to cut a good way, twelve feet wide, from New Yarmouth, Maine to New Gloucester, Maine, through the town to the spot selected for a meeting house.
