John Jago

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Jago (1684 – after 1724) was a minister in St. John's, Newfoundland.[1]

Born in Cornwall, England, Jago was educated at Exeter College, Oxford. In 1717 he is known to have been vicar of Saint Keverne, Cornwall.[1]

By 1723 Jago was ministering in St. John's, Newfoundland. In order to help bring order to the colonial town, a number of Saint John's property owners established an association in that year. Jago was one of three justices elected by the association to settle local disputes.[1]
