This John Minter appears in the same file as the American Minter group headed by Richard Minter (born England about 1570). However, John and his descendants are not here connected to Richard and his decendants because it isn't clear just how they are connected. The most likely probability is that John was the brother of Richard's descendant Anthony Minter (c. 1685 - 1751) but that hasn't been proved to my satisfaction.
Most of the history of the descendants of this John Minter has been taken from existing sources including:
