John Pixly described himself in his will as "of the Citty of London now resident in the Towne of Smyrna within the jurisdiction of the Emperor of Turky."  He was almost certainly a factor for the London merchant Thomas Pearle, whom he made his sole executor. In Smyrna he was probably in partnership, or at least in a close trading relationship, with Mr. William Alvey, to whom he assigned "all Commissions or estate that may come recommended to my selfe and him joyntly."  At the time of writing his will, when he was already sick, Francis Gough was his apprentice, having previously had William Gough, Francis' brother, as an apprentice.
