/ HACKETTE / HAQUET
Duff, E.G. (1905), p.63
HACKET or HAQUET (THOMAS), bookbinder in London, appears to have come to England about 1534. In 1544 he took out letters of denization "Thomas Hackette, Frenchman: in England 10 years. Married to an English woman { HACKET, (Unknown) ‹ LBT 06409 › }. 1 July 1544." [Westm. Deniz. Rolls, 36 Hen. VIII.] He lived in St. Olave's Parish, Tower Ward and occurs in the Subsidy Roll of 1547 with goods valued at £5 and taxed 3s. 4d. [R. of A., I, 136.] In 1550 with goods the same value he is taxed 5s. [R. of A., I, 185.] In 1562 and 1564 he is again mentioned but in the latter year his goods are only valued at £2 and his tax is 4s. [R. of A., I, 289, 294.] In the two full returns of 1571 he is called a bookbinder from St. Nicholas in Normandy who had lived in St. Olave's Parish twenty-four years and in London thirty years. He had a servant named Matthew, a Dutchman. [R. of A., I, 454; Il, 135.] The last entry of his name is in 1582 when he was still working as a bookbinder in Tower Ward. [R. of A., II, 280.] In 1564 he had two assistants Nicholas Gillet and John de Sheron.
