Finding, as early as Oct. 16, 1669, that John Spooner was one of a juryappointed by the Court of Assistants 'to lay out an highway, vizt., acounty road from Middleboro, Bridgewater, and other places towardBoston,' - establishes the fact, that at that date he was a man ofconsideration, and esteemed by the Court as of sound judgment, - suchservices were then only confided to men of known worth and intelligence,and usually of mature years.
He further served the Colony as Grand Juror, in 1702; and, his townsmenas Surveyor of Highways, 1686, 1699 and 1700, and was a member of theTown Council 1690. It is recorded that John Spooner was elected, May18th, 1710, to represent Dartmouth in the General Court, - but onreference tothe published list of officers as compiled by Mr.Whittemore, it is not seen that he took his seat as Representative.
