His mill was set up in Islington, London, where Lofting Road is named after him. In 1699 John and his brother-in-law, Jeremiah Basse, who was Governor of East Jersey, were bankrupted by the Colony of New York.

About 1700, he moved his main operation to Great Marlow in Buckinghamshire to take advantage of the River Thames' ability to turn a water wheel which improved productivity,
enabling the production of over 2 million thimbles per year. He made a bequest of over a thousand guineas to the needy of Marlow.
