Transcriptions

DUFF, E.G. (1905), p.60

GRENE (RICHARD), stationer in London, was an original member of the Stationers' Company on its incorporation. He appears to have taken a number of apprentices and was received into the Livery in 1570-1. In 1577-79 he was Renter and in 1587-88 was chosen a Warden but refused to serve for which he was fined £5. After this date his name is not found. He was still alive in May, 1590, when his daughter Jane was married to Lewis Winton of the Inner Temple. [London Marriage Licenses, p. 186.]

Cf. McKerrow, R.B. &c. (1910), p.117

GREENE (RICHARD), (?) bookseller in London, 1556-1612; (?) St. Dunstan's in the West. There were two men of this name, Richard Grene, senior [see Duff, Century] and Richard Greene, junior, who was made a freeman February 3rd, 1583/4 { GREENE, Richard ‹ LBT 07553 › } [Arber, ii. 690]. The will of a Richard Green, stationer of St. Dunstan's in the West, was proved on May 9th, 1612, in the Court of the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's. He left a bequest to his son George and a sum of forty shillings to the Company of Stationers.


MLT Note: The two Richard Green's - McKerrow, R.B. &c. (1910), p.117 - have assumed to be - senior (LBT/07547) and junior (LBT/07553). They have also assumed to be father and son on the basis of the will of 9 May 1612. Lavin, J.A. - Notes - points out that the two apprentices listed under (LBT/07547) after Feb 1584 might have been bound to either.
