He was born John Kynaston at Hordley, Shropshire, a descendant of the 12th century Barons of Powys, whose family settled in Shropshire in the 14th century. He was Member of Parliament for Shropshire 1784–1822. He changed his name in 1797 on inheriting an estate at Worthen from a maternal relative. He was succeeded according to the special remainder by his brother, the second Baronet.
