SOURCES & TRANSCRIPTIONS
Transcriptions
S.T.C., (1991), vol.3, p.1
McKerrow, R.B. &c. (1910), p.1
ADAMS (ELIZABETH), bookseller in London, 1620-38; The Bell in St. Paul's Churchyard. Widow of Thomas Adams { ADAMS, Thomas (1566 - 1620) ‹ LBT 08760 › }. First book entry May 12th, 1620 [Arber, iii. 674]. On May 6th, 1625, she assigned her remaining copyrights to Andrew Hebb { HEBB, Andrew ( - 1648) ‹ LBT 09249 › } [Arber, iv. 139-40]. From this entry it would appear that she held a share in Hakluyt's Voyages, Camden's Britannia, the old Calendar of Shepherds, as well as many classical and theological works. In 1638 William Juxon, Bishop of London, demised to her two messuages with three shops in the great churchyard of St. Paul's Cathedral, on the north side adjoining the Charnel House, one being known as the Parrot and Angel and the other as the King's Head [Hist. MSS. Comm., 9th Report, App. p. 52a].
She made her will on July 3rd, 1638, and desired to be buried in St. Faith's, and mentions that she was born in the parish of St. Dunstan's in the West [Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's, Book E, fol. 130].
