John Constable (1776-1837) was the second child of his parents.
John’s father, a wealthy corn mill merchant, owned and operated two corn mills. Although it was customary for the eldest son to take over the family business, because John’s elder brother was born mentally-disabled, John himself would be expected to assume the responsibility.
As a young man, John attended a Levanham boarding school.
