John was born in Bridgewater, Plymouth county, Province of Massachusetts Bay.

John married Margaret Holman in 1731. She widowed him (she died in 1757). They had children:
John - 24 July 1732
Sarah - 14 December 1733
Abial - 11 November 1735
Lewis - 14 January 1738
Pegge - 2 February 1740
John - 11 January 1742
Patience - 13 August 1744
Joseph 2 February 1747
Content - 23 May 1749
Twin1 daughter - 25 August 1750
Twin2 daughter - 25 August 1750
Calvin 10 December 1751


John died in Bridgewater, Plymouth county, Province of Massachusetts Bay.

John's grave is not marked with a headstone. John's name is not listed in Williams Latham's book "Epitaphs in Old Bridgewater", so a stone did not exist in the 1880s. The book "Vital Records of Bridgewater, Massachusetts to 1850" makes reference to PR3, which is the "record of burials in the South Precinct Burying Place, kept by Lt. John Washburn, 1739-1797". If John had a headstone, then the Vital Records would instead make reference to "G.R.7. - gravestone record, Old Graveyard". In this cemetery, families were buried in groups, so it can be presumed that he is buried with his wife Margaret and son John.
