He came to Prince Edward Island in 1842 and became the Pastor of the Disciples of Christ First Baptist Church in Crossroads, Prince Edward Island from 1842 until 1882. With this charge, he also became the First Baptist Pastor for East Point and Summerside. John Knox married Margaret Ferguson [ ?-1867], daughter of Malcom Ferguson of Lot 48, Prince Edward Island, on 29 May 1855. Following her death he married Catherine Dewar on 28 January 1878.
