==Early life==
John Kay was born on 17 June 1704 (in the Julian calendar) in the Lancashire hamlet of Walmersley,〔 just north of Bury. His yeoman farmer father, Robert, owned the "Park" estate in Walmersley, and John was born there.〔Lord (1903) p.86 – The Park House, pictured.〕 Robert died before John was born, leaving Park House to his eldest son. As Robert's fifth son (out of ten), John was bequeathed £40 (at age 21) and an education until the age of 14.〔Lord (1903) p.76〕 His mother was responsible for educating him until she remarried.
