John_Estaugh (c. 1676—1742) was an American Quaker minister in colonial New Jersey.
He was a minister[1] who first met Elizabeth Haddon in England. He came to America to preach and later settled in Haddonfield, New Jersey.
Haddon met up with John and proposed to him and they were married in 1702.[2] Their love story is immortalized in the work of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's Tales of a Wayside Inn.

John went on a religious trip to Tortola in the West Indies in 1742. He died there, and is presumed to be buried there as well.[citation needed]
