He had 13 acres of land on upper Shawme Pond, in Sandwich; 3 acres were granted in 1688 and 10 acres in 1706, adjacent to the property of Daniel Wing Jr. who was his brother-in-law. This property was called "Abbott's Orchard" granted to John only for his lifetime.
Charles E. Pope, one of the oldest residents of Sandwich, wrote The Owl in 1903, "The orchard eastward of the house of uncle Ebenezer's place was known in my boyhood as "Abbott's Orchard." "Uncle Ebenezer's place was generally accredited with being the homestead of the very first Wings at Sandwich. It is probable that Lydia Hamilton, as a widow, and later as Lydia Abbott, lived in the small house in "Abbott's Orchard", at the south end of upper Shawme Pond. This house was mistakenly assumed to be the original home of Deborah Wing and her sons. This legend probably arose because Lydia lived there from 1677 without final approval from the town, but obtained the land by town grant in 1688, when her brother Daniel Wing obtained larger grants adjacent and built there. The house remained in the Wing family until 1794 when it was sold to Elisha and Lemuel Pope, who moved it to the new Pope house at 14 Grove St. in Sandwich, where it still exists as a wing of the main house, and is now separately numbered 16 Grove St.
