BiographyWhittier: "He was the first one of the family to spell the name Urann, a form which has been adopted by many of the family at the present time. On 10 Aug. 1729 he purchased land on May (now Revere) Street, Boston, which was sold 12 Jan. 1796 by his heirs. He was a shipbuilder, and resided in Milk Street, Boston. In the fire of 1760 his loss was placed at L73. On 3 June 1761 he purchased of Nathaniel Breed for L42 a lot of land in Milk Street, on what was afterwards known as Theatre Alley, and now Devonshire Street. This lot stands but a few feet south from the present line of Milk Street, and is occupied by the Equitable Building. On 23 Oct. 1734 he was appointed a member of the Boston fire department, and for a number of years served as captain...He died at Boston 1 Mar. 1764-5. His children were baptized in the Second Church and Brattle St. Church and the family were buried in the Granary Burying-ground.
In his will, dated 23 Jan., and probated 8 Mar 1764-65, he mentions his son Thomas, daughter Mary (wife of Richard Sloper) and the following grandchildren: Mary (wife of James Kinney), Mehitable, Elizabeth, Joseph, William, Rebecca, Hannah, and Sarah, children of the late daughter Sarah Putman, to each of whom he gave 1s. The balance of the estate was given to his wife Hannah, who was appointed executrix."

BiographyWhittier: "He resided at Rowley, Mass., but attended church at Byfield, where his children were baptized. With his family he removed to Boscawen, N.H. where they were warned out of town 5 Feb. 1783. He signed the Association Test in 1776. In census of 1790 family consisted of himself and 2 females. On 6 Dec 1796 he sold to James Urann of Boscawen several lots of land in Boscawen."

McCoy: "First adult reference is his marriage recorded in Newbury, MA, where he is listed as a resident of Rumford, MA. C. C. Whittier explains that John resided in Rowley, MA, but attended church in Byfield, where his children were baptized. These are the records included in the Newbury Vital Records. Sometime between 1757 and 1763, the family moved to Boscawen, NH (warned out 05 feb 1763), explaining why chidren could have been missed in official records. They are back in Rowley by the end of 1765."8,10
