Wesley was born in Epworth, 23 miles (37 km) northwest of Lincoln, and died in London.
John Wesley was the son of Samuel Wesley, a graduate of Oxford, and a minister of the Church of England, who had married in 1689 Susannah, twenty-fifth child of Dr. Samuel Annesley, and herself became a mother of nineteen; in 1696 he was appointed rector of Epworth, where John, the fifteenth child, was born.
Wesley's Oxford friend, the evangelist George Whitefield, upon his return from America, was also excluded from the churches of Bristol; and, going to the neighbouring village of Kingswood, preached in the open air, in February 1739, to a company of miners.
Wesley was ordained a deacon in the Church of England in 1725, elected a fellow of Lincoln College, Oxford, in 1726, and ordained a priest in 1728.
In 1784, Wesley executed the deed of declaration by which the Methodist societies became legally constituted; it was in essence the charter of the Wesleyan Methodists.
Wesley ordained Dr. Thomas Coke to this office; Francis Asbury was to serve as associate superintendent.
