John was born in 1813 in Pentyrch, Glamorgan, Wales to William and Mary John. He was baptized on March 31, 1813. ^[1]

He was married to Catherine Harry on October 24, 1840 in an Anglican ceremony in the parish of Llansannor, Glamorganshire, Wales by rector John F. Griffith. He was about 25 and Catherine was about 20 years old, and both of their occupations are listed as "farmer" at the time of their marriage. ^[2]
Their marriage banns were published on the first three Sundays of October (4th, 11th and 18th) before their wedding on Saturday the 24th. ^[3] Their witnesses were Thomas Harry, Mary Lewis, Mary Yorath, and Evan John. ^{[4] [5] [6]}
