John was born in 1790. It seems likely he was born near Stirling in Scotland and he was living there prior to 1810. There is nothing currently known of him.
He married Janet Jenkins, 31 Oct 1812, at St. Ninians Church in Stirling, Scotland.[1]
They have nine children:
- Margery Cook; b. 1814, Stirlingshire.

In the 1861 Census he is living at Kirkintilloch with his wife and two of the children; William and Agnes.[3]
