Biography

John was born before 1714. He is the son of Robert Kingsbury and Susannah Unknown.

John was a tailor. He went to work in London, and married widow Hannah Maxey (who had been married twice before). They had four children while living in Croydon.

Following Hannah's death, John married Mary Percifal, and they had three more children in Croydon.

The family returned to Dorset, settling in Blandford Forum by the beginning of 1756. One more child, William was born later that year.
