John Lothrop was baptized on 30 Dec 1584 at St Mary's Church,  Etton, Yorkshire, Eng. (1)  He received his B.A. at Cambridge University in 1605 and M.A. in 1609.  He married Hannah Howse on 16 Oct 1610 and had 8 children with her.  (2) First ordained a Deacon by the Bishop of Lincoln, he became Curate of Bennington, Hertfordshire in 1607 and Curate of Parish Church at Egerton, Kent, England about 1611.
In 1623 he left the church of England and subscribed to the doctrines of the Independents.  He was arrested along with 24 others on 22 Apr 1632 and put in the old Clink prison in Newgate.  He was given permission to visit his dying wife but then again imprisoned. (3)  In the spring of 1634 those arrested with him were released but he was detained.  Eventually he was given bond and left for the colonies on the Giffith, arriving on 18 Sep 1634. 
John Lothrop remarried to Ann sometime around 1635 and had 7 children with her.  She was admitted to the church in Scituate on 14 Jun 1635.  He died in Barnstable on 8 Nov 1653.  He left a will which had not been signed but on 7 Mar 1654 Mrs. Lathrop was granted letter of administration on the estate of Mr. John Lathrop, deceased.  The will mentioned his wife, oldest son Thomas to have a house in Barnstable, son John in England and son Benjamin in Barnstable each to have a cow and 5 pounds; daughters Jane and Barbara had their portions; to the rest ofo the children "both mine and my wife's" each a cow; to each of them oen book, the rest of his library to be sold and the proceeds divided.

Marriage: (1) Eastwell, Kent, 16 Oct 1610 Hannah House (TAG 70:25), daughter of Rev. John House (TAG 70:250-51; NEHGR 66:356-58, 67:260-61). She died in London about 1633, while her husband was in prison (Burrage 2:298).

(3) "In New England's Memorials" by Nathaniel Morton, published in 1669, he says -:

"His wife fell sick, of which sickness she died. He procured liberty of the bishop to visit his wife before her death, and commended her to God by prayer, who soon gave up the ghost. At his return to prison, his poor children, being many, repaired to the bishop at Lambeth and made known unto him their miserable condition by reason of their good father's being continued in close durance, who commiserated their condition so far as to grant him liberty, who soon after came over unto New England".
