Apprenticed to his father Edward Exshaw.

Edward took John into partnership in 1748 and upon his death later that year, the business was continued by John and his step-mother Sarah.

After Sarah stopped trading in 1753, John continued in the book trade until 1777, but it is not known if he published or sold music under his own name.

He is listed in the Dublin Directories in 1762 and 1777 as a 'bookseller'.
