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 was licensed to practice medicine on 3 January 1872, after having received his degrees of Doctor of Medicine and Doctor of Laws from an American College. He died on the 16 November 1892 and is buried at the Crossroads Church Cemetery.
