GROVE, (JOHN), bookseller in London, 1620-37; Furnivall's Inn Gate. Took up his freedom in the Company of Stationers on January 17th, 1619/20 [Arber, iii. 685]. He was probably a relative of Francis Grove { GROVE, Frances ( - 1663) ‹ LBT 10311 › }. He dealt in law-books, play and sermons. Amongst the plays that bear his name may be mentioned Holland's Leaguer by Shakerly Marmion, The Wedding by James Shirley, The tragedy of Hoffman, and The Grateful Servant. These he transferred on September 25th 1637, to William Leake { LEAKE, William ( - 1673) ‹ LBT 10337 › } [Arber, iv. 394].
