Son of Robert Newbery of Laurence Waltham, Berks, yeoman; cousin of Ralph Newbery (1560-1607) { NEWBERRY, Ralph ( - 1603) ‹ LBT 08123 › }, of Fleet Street, to whom he was apprenticed for seven years, from March 26th, 1584 [Arber, ii. 122]. Admitted to the freedom of the Company on May 3rd, 1591 [Arber, ii. 709]. On the last day of September, 1594, Ralph Newbery assigned over to him the copyrights in several books, including the quarto and octavo editions of Stow's Chronicle. Tbe last book entry under John Newbery's name occurs on February 23rd, 1602/3 [Arber, iii. 228]. Ralph Newbery, by a codicil to his will dated August 14th, 1603, enjoined that John Newbery should have the shop he was then living in, and be cleared of debt on giving security; but John Newbery died shortly afterwards, as on March 9th, 1603/4, his widow Joan { BUTTER, Joan (mar. NEWBERY) ‹ LBT 03214 › } is found entering a book. She took apprentices as late as March 11th, 1604/5. [Arber, ii. 290; iii. 254].
