Further Notes
Assistantship - Harrison is one of three men, who began attending Court between 10 Jul and 19 Nov 1627 although there is no record of their election. --- We have followed the suggestion made in McKenzie, D.F. (1974) and re-allocated the apprentices bound after Dec 1627 to his son John (LBT/10113), though as the father did not die until 1653 this may not be entirely safe- all were bound before that date. ---

HARRISON (JOHN), bookseller in London; [Lamb or Holy Lamb (?)] St. Paul's Churchyard, 1641-53. Dealer in miscellaneous literature. Published amongst other things John Dennis's Secrets of Angling, 1652. [B.M. C. 31. d. 43.] Believed to have died before 1653.

HARR1SON (JOHN IV), the youngest (2), bookseller in London, 1603-39; At his shop in Paternoster Row, at the sign of the Unicorn, 1632. Son of John Harrison the younger (1579-1617) { HARRISON, John ( - 1617) ‹ LBT 07622 › }, and referred to as John Harrison the youngest after the death of his cousin, the son of John Harrison the eldest { HARRISON, John ( - 1616) ‹ LBT 07614 › }, in 1604. Took up his freedom "per patrimonium" on June 25th, 1600 [Arber, ii. 726]. Appears to have made his first book entry on February 18th, 1600/1, but the officials of the Company were evidently somewhat puzzled how to distinguish the various John Harrisons, of whom there were no less than four in business in London at this time. I have followed Mr. Arber's method of distinguishing them. This John Harrison was Senior Warden of the Company in the year 1636-7 and Master in the year 1638-9, after which nothing more is heard of him, but he may be identical with the John Harrison who was living at the Lamb or Holy Lamb, St. Paul's Churchyard, between 1641 and 1653 [Plomer, Dictionary, p. 92].
