    John and his family sailed from London with his brother Richard and his family on the ship James in 1635 and settled in Newbury. John and his brother were both tailors and a mould for casting buttons of lead or pewter was brought with them from England and is still owned by the family in Portland.

    John Sr. and Jr. signed the petition of John Emery of Newbury 21 May 1663 requesting that Emery's fine of £4 for harboring Dr. Henry Greenland be abated. This petition was signed by many of Emery's friends.(1)

    In his will dated 5 May-23 June 1670 he gave his wife Ann £11 per year and the privilege of living in the end of the house and the use of any of his goods that she might have use of.

    He gave his daughter Sarah Bartlett £10. He gave £80 to his daughter Marie Downer and her husband Joseph Downer. He gave £20 each to his grandchildren Joseph and Marie Downer. He also gave each of his daughters land. He gave £10 to his wife's grandson Thomas Haines. The rest of his estate went to his son John.
