COTTON (ABRAHAM), bookseller in London, 1582-5. Son of John. Cotton of London, barber. Apprentice to Henry Kyrkham { KYRKHAM, Henry ( - 1593) ‹ LBT 08088 › }, stationer of London, for seven years from Christmas, 1568. The only book entry under his name in the Registers is on February 20th, 1584/5, when he entered a ballad entitled A Warning to Witches [Arber, ii. 440]. On November 26th, 1582, there is an entry in the accounts "gyven to Abraham Cotton, xs," but whether it was a payment of account or a benevolence is not clear [Arber, ii. 886].
