John Tarbox was born about 1618 probably in Herefordshire, England. He married, on May 1, 1633 in Ippolits, Herfordshire, Mary Overall. They had three sons, but by 1637, Mary and their three sons had all died.
John Tarbox came from England to Lynn, Massachusetts in 1638. He was involved in a lawsuit there in June of 1639. He was one of the men who inventoried the estate of George Fraile in June of 1664. In Massachusetts, John married a widow named Rebekah Andrews who had two children from her first marriage, and had children with her. John was one of the men who established the iron works in Saugus as a partner with John Hawthorne, Robert Burgess, Nicholas Potter and Joseph Mansfield. John made his will a short time before his death on May 26, 1674. He named his wife executrix and left most of his estate to his oldest son John. The estate was worth 160 pounds.
He settled in Lynn Massachusetts by 4th month (June) 1639, when he was plaintiff in a civil suit. He had seven acres of upland on Water Hill, an orchard, three cows & nine sheep at the time of his death. He was also a small proprietor in the Lynn Iron Works.
He married in Lynn MA widow Rebecca Andrews who bore him two sons. He wrote his will 25: 9 mo: 1673, and it was proved 1: 5 mo: 1674. Like most New England settlers of his time he was probably buried on his own land in a place now used otherwise. See a 19th century manuscript by John T.
