Biography
John Jago (1684 – after 1724) was a minister in St. John's, Newfoundland.
Born in Cornwall, England, Jago was educated at Exeter College, Oxford. In 1717 he is known to have been vicar of Saint Keverne, Cornwall.
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.
