John Worsley (scholar)
John Worsley was an English schoolmaster and scholar of classical Greek. He made a translation of the New Testament, which was published in 1770.
He was for fifty years a successful schoolmaster at Hertford, and author of grammatical tables and of an able translation of the New Testament, published posthumously by subscription, edited by Matthew Bradshaw and one of the author's sons, Samuel Worsley. Another son, also called John Worsley, was his successor as schoolmaster, and this son was the father of Israel Worsley.
In circa 1727, John married Grace Hughes, great-granddaughter of George Hughes.
