Further Notes
It may be that some or all of the apprentices listed by McKenzie, D.F. (1961), pp.19-20, under William Jones, should be attributed to this master and not to William Jones (LBT/07892). Also it is possible that the parentage of the two sons freed by patrimony is also suspect. ---

JONES (WILLIAM), printer in London, 1601-26; Ship Alley, Redcross Street, Cripplegate. Son of William Jones of Northampton, clothworker. Apprentice to John Windet { WINDET, John ( - 1610) ‹ LBT 06795 › }, stationer of London, for nine years from Midsummer, 1587, and admitted to the freedom of the Company on July 5th, 1596 [Arber, ii. 148, 716). Down to 1618 it is not possible to distinguish between the books entered to this printer and the bookseller { JONES, William ( - 1618) ‹ LBT 07892 › } of the same name. Jones the printer was somewhat of a puritan. In 1604 he laid information against Richard Bancroft, Bishop of London, for harbouring seminary priests and permitting the publication of Roman Catholic books. The document contains much interesting information relating to printers and booksellers, a good deal of which is borne out by the records of those times. King James however ignored the charges and kept Jones a prisoner for some months. Amongst those for whom he printed was Michael Sparke { SPARKE, Michael ( - 1653) ‹ LBT 08216 › } the bookseller. About 1627 he took into partnership Thomas Paine { PAINE, Thomas ‹ LBT 08955 › }. The date of his death is unknown, but Michael Sparke in his will, made in 1653, left a bequest to Constance Jones {cf. JONES, (Unknown) ‹ LBT 03298 › } who is believed to have been the widow of William Jones the printer. Another William Jones { JONES, William ‹ LBT 09059 › prob. the son of JONES, William ( - 1618) ‹ LBT 07892 › } took up his freedom June 4th, 1621 [Arber, iii. 685]. He may have been a son of the printer but it is impossible to distinguish between them. [Library, April, 1907, pp. 164-76.]
