John and Mary settled at Hingham with friends from Oxfordshire and probably established a small farm as they had in England. However; they faced one major difference in the New World. Just a few months earlier, in August 1637, New England ended its war with the Pequot Indians. Conflict would not arise again until King Philip's War in 1675, but the settlers were continually on the alert for troubles. In Hingham the meetinghouse was designated as a place of refuge for women and children in case of attack and as a place to store ammunition. The town voted to erect a palisade around the meetinghouse "to prevent any danger that may come into this town by any assault by the Indians." Initially all houses were to be built within a half a mile of the meetinghouse. All persons were compelled to keep arms ready for service in their homes. For a time, all persons were to go armed with musket, powder and ball to all public assemblies and were not to go unarmed more than a mile from their dwelling houses. All men above the age of eighteen were required to serve in the militia trainband.
John and others from Hingham petitioned the General Court of MA., in1645 for permission to settle at White Head Hill in the nearby town of Hull. While the petition was refused at first, the Bensons settled at Hull by 1652, when he was called "Goodman Benson of Hull."
