He was known as "Shoemaker John", to distinguish him from his grandfather (Weaver John) and his neighbours (Miller John and John the 3rd). He inherited considerable lands in Sandwich, especially from his grandfather John’s estate. Shoemaker John lived in the house which had been built by his grandfather until it burned in 1794. John and Jemima were founding members of the first Methodist Society in Monument. [PERRY.TXT]
