Career
There remains doubt over John March"s background. An Argument or Debate in Law of the great question concerning the Militia (1642) by March argued the legality of Parliament"s moves to raise troops. By early 1644, March was working for the Committee of Both Kingdoms.
On 20 August 1649 the Council of State nominated him as one of four commissioners to go to Guernsey.
Three years later (6 April 1652) he was chosen by the Council of State to Scotland, with three others to administer justice in the courts. In 1656 March seems to have been acting as secretary or treasurer to the trustees for the sale of crown lands at Worcester House.
He died early in 1657. By license dated 23 March 1638, March, of Saint Stephen"s, Walbrook, scrivener and bachelor aged 26, married Alice Matthews of Saint Nicholas Olave.
On his death in 1657, his widow received support from the Council of State.
