John St Aubyn was born on 17 May 1758 at Golden Square, London. His parents were Sir John St Aubyn, 4th Baronet, who was a Member of Parliament and his wife, Elizabeth Wingfield. St Aubyn's sister was Catherine St Aubyn, who was an amateur artist. He attended Westminster School between 1773 and 1777. St Aubyn then spent three years in France where he had a relationship with an Italian woman and had a daughter.[1]

St Aubyn's father died on 12 October 1772, at which point St Aubyn succeeded to the baronetcy, inheriting Clowance, the family estate near Crowan, Cornwall. He was High Sheriff of Cornwall for 1780 and was then Member of Parliament for Truro in 1784, for Penryn from 1784 to 1790 and for Helston from 1807 to 1812.

The baronetcy became extinct on his death in August 1839, aged 81.
