John was mentioned here in 1652. In 1660 Walter Winser from Hennock, Devon was apprenticed to him. He was a ropemaker, but here built shallops and with his sons carried on a fishing business at the Isles of Shoals. In 1651 he bought by an imperfect deed a house and land at Crooked Lane, Kittery. The land he claimed was cut down by Thomas Withers and by town grants to Dennis Downing, Richard Abbott, and William Leighton. He was on the jury in 1651, grand jury in 1653. He was a selectman in 1659 and clerk of the writs in 1663.
