The newspaper was founded by John Bagnall, who had moved to Ipswich from London. In 1739 it was taken over by William Craighton, who continued publication until his death in 1761. At this point the newspaper continued under the ownership of his unmarried sister Elizabeth and their nephew, William Jackson.<ref name="Oldham">{{cite journal |last1=Oldham |first1=J.
