John Faulkner (1727-1790) was a farmer from Northampton, Massachusetts, born in 1727 CE. He was the son of Denys Faulkner and Lydia Whittier, and grew up in the farms, militia musters and harbour towns of colonial Massachusetts. John belonged to the Faulkner family of vampire slayers, the Lancastrian bloodline that keeps the Red Ledger of vampires taken. John was a descendant of Thomas Faulkner and Isabel Proctor, whose marriage in January 1486 joined the two rival houses at the end of the Wars of the Roses. His grandfather was Denys Cooke. He grew up alongside a sibling, Patience Faulkner (1724).
Though he was never called as a slayer, John was part of the Faulkner family's hunting life from childhood. He knew every hunter in the family by their footsteps.
John lived through the Revolution. He also lived through the wars with France on the frontier. For the Faulkner family those years were hard, and his name appears in the family records for the period. John spent most of his life around Northampton, and the age of steam and steel left its mark on his work as a farmer.
In 1748 CE John married Abigail Hutchinson, a farmer's wife. They had 2 recorded children: Jonathan Faulkner (1749) and John Hutchinson Faulkner (1752). Jonathan went on to take up the slayer's work.
Like most of the Faulkners, John held that the Guest who escaped at Towton in 1461 was a Yorkist favour, never a Lancastrian failing. He died in 1790 CE of a winter cough, aged 63. John Faulkner appears on the House Tree of the Faulkner and Proctor families as a relative of the Faulkner bloodline, part of the story of the Lancashire slayers in the Slayerverse, from the ledgers of 1455 to the present night.
