HAVILAND (JOHN), printer in London, 1613-38; (1) In the Old Bailey in Eliot's Court, 1627; (2) In the Old Bailey over against the Sessions House, 1634. Son of John Haviland, clerk, and nephew of Thomas Haviland (1582-1611) { HAVILAND, Thomas ( - 1619) ‹ LBT 07334 › }. John Haviland took up his freedom on June 25th, 1613, and on June 7th, 1621, in company with the widow { Anne GRIFFEN, Anne (1595 - 1643) ‹ LBT 03156 › } of Edward Griffin { GRIFFEN, Edward ( - 1621) ‹ LBT 07690 › } he entered several copies, some of which at any rate had previously belonged to Edward Griffin, and before him to the syndicate which ran the Eliot's Court Printing House. This was apparently the foundation of John Haviland's business. About the year 1628 John Haviland began to enter books in his own name alone, although Mistress Griffin was still living. In 1636 Sir John Lambe in his notes stated that John Haviland, Robert Young { YONGE, Robert ( - 1643) ‹ LBT 06861 › } and Miles Flesher, or Fletcher { FLESHER, Miles ( - 1664) ‹ LBT 07401 › }, had acquired not only Mistress Griffin's business, but also those of William Stansby { STANSBY, William ( - 1638) ‹ LBT 08785 › } and Widow Purslow { PURSLOW, Elizabeth ‹ LBT 03082 › } [Arber, iii. 701]. In 1637 Haviland was one of the twenty master printers appointed under the Star Chamber Decree. On September 4th, 1638, he appears to have entered into partnership with John Wright senior { WRIGHT, John ( - 1658) ‹ LBT 08748 › }, and at the same time they acquired the copyrights of John Parker { PARKER, John ( - 1648) ‹ LBT 09904 › } and Henry { BELL, Henry ( - 1641) ‹ LBT 07850 › } and Moses Bell { BELL, Moses ( - 1649) ‹ LBT 09381 › } [Arber, iv. 431-4].
