Introduction
Thomas Nelson was a bookseller in London and member of the Stationers' Company, active from 1580 to 1592. He was freed by his master Garrad Dewes on 8 October 1580 and operated from multiple locations in St Paul's Churchyard and Silver Street, dealing largely in ballads. Nelson took on apprentices during his career and appears in historical records until 1592, when he was mentioned in the will of Jarrett Anderson.

NELSON (THOMAS), bookseller in London, 1580-92; (1) West End of St. Paul's Church; (2) Over against the Great South Door of St. Paul's Church; (3) Silver Street, near to the Red Cross. This stationer was apprentice {- no record of binding} to Garrard or Garret D'Ewes { DEWES, Garrad ( - 1591) ‹ LBT 07706 › }, by whom he was presented for his freedom on October 8th, 1580. He appears to have dealt largely in ballads. During the year ending July 10th, 1586, he was arrested by the officers of the Company, but what his offence was is not stated [Arber, i. 515]. The last entry under his name in the Registers was made on August 14th, 1592 [Arber, ii. 619]. In the will of Jarrett Anderson, proved in December, 1592, occurs this passage: "and my walkinge staffe to Thomas Nelson, stacioner" [P.C.C., 13, Neville].
