  Born in Bridge of Allan in 1797, he would have started his apprenticeship at Airthrey in 1809. He bought his card of freedom from the Original Society of Papermakers in 1826, after he had been thrown out of work. In 1827 he took over the tenancy of the lint mill at Crook of Devon and installed a papermaking vat. He was joined in this venture by his father, another John Luke, who was papermaker at Waukmill of Tulliebole in 1849, a year before his father's death. In 1832 it is described as having one vat and making 'tea' and 'grey' both wrapping papers. John Luke died in 1881. His third son James took over the Crook of Devon Mill until it was taken over by Robert Livingston in 1904. The mill was closed about 1911.
