John Dandridge was born around 1655 and as Drayton Parish Records show, he was baptized on April 29, 1655 in Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. He was the son of William Dandridge Sr and Anne (Bolling) Dandridge. He married Bridget Dugdale at Saint Mary Magdalene, Old Fish Street, London on 14 December 1676.

St. Mary Magdalen Old Fish Street was a church in Castle Baynard ward of the City of London, England, located on the corner of Old Fish Street and Old Change, on land now covered by post-War development. Recorded since the 12th century, the church was destroyed in the Great Fire of London of 1666, then rebuilt by the office of Sir Christopher Wren. The rebuilt church suffered damage to its roof from a fire in an adjacent warehouse in 1886. It was not repaired and finally demolished in 1893.

John was educated in Grammar School at Dorchester and then apprenticed to Thomas Postlewaite to study portrait painting on 30 Oct 1668. By 1710, he was a member of The Master Painter & Stainers Company (Guild) in London.

John Dandridge came to London where he was indentured to Thomas Postlethwayte of the Painter and Stainers Company on 30 October 1668. The entry in their records states clearly that he is the son of William Dandridge, yeoman of Drayton (St Leonard), Oxfordshire.

His son Francis Dandridge was apprenticed to him: "a son of John Dandridge, Citizen and Painter-Stainer of London was bound to his father for seven years on 4 July 1711."
