JACKSON (JOHN), Grocer and printer in London, 1584-96; Eliot's Court, Old Bailey. John Jackson was one of the partners in the Eliot's Court printing house, the others being Ninian Newton { NEWTON, Nynion ‹ LBT 08408 › }, Arnold Hatfield { HATFIELD, Arnold ( - 1613) ‹ LBT 07348 › } and Edmund Bollifant { BOLLIPHANT, Edmond ( - 1602) ‹ LBT 07342 › }. He was a member of the Grocers' Company, but there is no evidence to show where he learnt the art of printing. Jackson is first mentioned in the Registers on May 21st, 1586, when an apprentice named Richard Browne { BROWN(E), Richard ‹ LBT 07175 › }, who was bound to Richard Collins { COLLINS, Richard ( - 1613) ‹ LBT 07174 › }, stationer, was transferred to John Jackson to be taught printing. The partners were only allowed two apprentices, one of whom { - Richard Hinton HINTON, Richard ‹ LBT 07691 › } was already bound to Arnold Hatfield. Amongst the books in which Jackson's name appears alone in the imprint was a Latin version of the Book of Common Prayer, printed by him for the assigns of Francis Flower in 1594, and William Wyrley's True use of Armorie, which he printed for Gabriel Cawood { CAWOOD, Gabriel ( - 1602) ‹ LBT 07091 › }. He is found printing until 1596.
