John was born Daventry, Northamptonshire England and was sent to study under a painter named Tillet and later studied mezzotint engraving under Isaac Beckett (1653 – 1719) and Jan van der Vaart (1650 – 1727).
He became the favorite engraver of Sir Godfrey Kneller (1646 – 1723), whose paintings he reproduced.
John is believed to have created approximately 500 plates, with about 300 of these plates being portraits of notable men and women during the reigns of Charles II (1630 – 1685) and George II (1683 – 1670).
