Raised by his mother in Harrow-on-Hill, London and in 1605 married Elizabeth Ward there. Birth records for all the children of John and Elizabeth were recorded at Harrow On Hill and at Stapleford Tawney. John was recorded as "Landed Gentry and Merchant Shipper" in Stapleford vital records. He seems to have gone back and forth between Stapleford and London frequently and sailed for America at least once. He worked with the "Council for New England, a company with a charter authorizing settlement around Mass Bay Colony to the North of P'limout." In 1630 that same company planted over 1000 Puritans under John Winthrop of Suffolk around Dorchester, Roxbury, Watertown, Cambridge, Charlestown and Boston. Puritanism was very strong around Essex where John and his family lived, but we have no evidence they were Puritans. They attended Greensted Church at Thoydon Mount,a Church of England with no Puritan parishioners.
