Although the Rattlesden records for the years 1615 to 1634 seem complete, no other records can be found for the couple or their children in that parish. It is assumed that the children, including John, were born and baptized there, but no records can verify that. John was born about 1631 as the passenger list in 1634 listed his age as 3.James Savage, "More Gleanings for New England," in ''Collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society'' 10 (1849):141 (Boston: Massachusetts Historical Society, 1849); [https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=njp.32101076467297&view=1up&seq=459&skin=2021 image 459 of 684, pp. 141-42] ''HathiTrust.org''. In a deposition made in 1666, John stated that he was 35 years old, and in a deposition of 1684 he was 53 years old.

By trade, John Kimball was a wheelwright, but by occupation he appears to have been also an extensive farmer. He frequently bought and sold land, and there are a number of deeds on record at Salem bearing his name:G.F.
