CLARKE or CLERKE (THOMAS), (?) bookseller in London, ? 1584. Son of Thomas Clarke or Clerke of Erith, Kent, yeoman. Apprenticed to Richard Greene { GREENE, Richard ( - 1590) ‹ LBT 07547 › }, stationer, for eight years from June 24th, 1576. There was another Thomas Clerk { CLERK, Thomas ( - 1611) ‹ LBT 08162 › }, son of John Clerk of Wigdon in Cumberland, who took up his freedom on February 4th, 1599/1600 [Arber, ii. 725], and the Thomas Clerk referred to in the subsequent entries of books between 1604 and 1607 are believed to refer to the Cumberland man and not to the Kentish one, who never appears to have taken up his freedom.
