John was bequeathed Rapelands by his grandfather. Details of some of the property transactions are given below. They indicate that in 1758 John was a blacksmith in Banstead, Surrey.

The other records on this page are mainly from St John the Baptist, Croydon. Although the dates fit well we have no further correlation.
