BOWEN (JOHN), bookseller in London, 1586-90; (?) St. John's Street, Clerkenwell. Son of William Bowen, of Hereford, capper. Apprentice to Thomas Dawson { DAWSON, Thomas ( - 1620) ‹ LBT 07918 › } for seven years from September 29th, 1578: took up his freedom on January 31st, 1585/6 [Arber, ii. 87, 696]. On October 17th, 1588, he entered in the Registers a Catechism by Patrick Galloway, used in the families of Scottish noblemen then resident in Newcastle [Arber, ii. 503). Herbert (p. 1168) in his notice of Edward Aggas { AGGAS, Edward (1549 - 1625) ‹ LBT 08597 › } mentions this work as printed for him and John Bowen { }, and it was presumably on the strength of this entry that Mr. Arber placed it in his Bibliographical Summary (vol. v, p. 148). Watt had apparently seen a copy of this catechism. In 1590 Bowen was associated with John Morris { MORRIS, John ‹ LBT 08703 › } and issued the Rev. Edward Harris's Sermon preached at Hitchen in 1587. Their joint address was then St. John's Street, Clerkenwell. Both men disappear after this date.
