Biography

John was born about 1729. His birth record has not been found. There is a possibility that he was an illegitimate child, a son of Elizabeth Phillips, who was fined in 1730 for fornication, and stated that John Coleman of Dighton was the father of her "bastard child"[1]

On 10 Jan 1752, he married Rebecca Reed[2]

He died in 1790, and his wife was his sole heir[3]
