BENSON (PETER), bookseller in Exeter, 1569-83; Parish of St. Keriam. Apprentice to Luke Harrison { HARRYSON, Lucas ( - 1577) ‹ LBT 07657 › }, stationer of London, for nine years, and admitted to the freedom of the Company of Stationers on February 18th, 1568 [Arber, i. 99, 366]. Between 1568 and 1570 he published the Injunctions of the Bishop of Meath (Hugh Brady), and a Preservative against the Pestilence [Arber, i. 388, 412]. On one occasion he was fined for keeping his shop open on St. Andrew's Day. From his will, dated June 3rd, 1583, we learn that he was then living 'in Exeter. He died before August 2nd in that year and was buried in the parish church of St. George in that city. He left a widow Agnes { BENSON, Agnes ‹ LBT 03153 › }, and a son Peter. [P.C.C., 40, Rowe.] In the Subsidy Roll for Exeter of 18th Eliz. [i.e., 1575-6] he is returned amongst the inhabitants of the parish of St. Keriam, his goods being valued at £3 [P.R.O. Lay Subsidy Roll, 100/380].
