John was christened at St Mary, Whitechapel. He married Sarah West at St Dunstan, Stepney on 9 June 1783. It was a double ceremony with his brother James marrying the same day. John's sister, Mary, acted as witness to the ceremony.
Early in their marriage, John and Sarah lived on Crescent Place, Hackney in the parish of St Matthew, Bethnal Green. John's occupation is listed as a grocer and sugar refiner. Later, he is also listed as a musician.
In 1792, John petitioned the Blue Coat School for assistance in educating his eldest son, John. In the petition, he stated that he had "a wife and three children to provide for and being in low circumstances he finds it difficult to maintain and educate them without assistance."
