John Moss was christened 17 June 1667 in East Markham, Nottinghamshire, the son of Jane Moss. (His christening record was extracted as John, the illegitimate son of James Moss, however a careful examination of the record shows that he was the son of Jane Moss. This makes more sense as the mother is usually mentioned in the christening record of an illegitimate child, and not the father.)

John married Charity Hardy 14 August 1692 in East Markham. His occupation was roper (ropemaker). Charity was most likely the daughter of Richard and Mary Hardy of the nearby parish of Gamston.
