GUBBIN or GUBBINS (THOMAS), bookseller in London, 1587-1629; (1) The Griffin, Paternoster Row, over against the Black Raven; (2) In St. Paul's Churchyard. This stationer was apprentice to John Walley { WALLEY, John ( - 1586) ‹ LBT 08646 › } of the Hart's Horn in Foster Lane, by whom he was made free on January 31st, 1585/6 [Arber, ii. 696]. In his first publication, entered in the Registers on September 18th, 1587, he was associated with Thomas Newman { NEWMAN, Thomas ‹ LBT 08132 › },.and he is also found in partnership with John Busby { BUSBY, John ‹ LBT 08762 › }, Thomas Man { MAN, Thomas ( - 1625) ‹ LBT 07630 › } and John Porter { PORTER, John ‹ LBT 07280 › }. With Newman he shared the publication of Robert Greene's Farewell to Folly in 1591. Thomas Gubbin married Johane { HARRISON, Johane (mar. GUBBYN) ‹ LBT 03276 › }, the eldest daughter of John Harrison the eldest { HARRISON, John ( - 1616) ‹ LBT 07614 › }, by whom he had two sons, Francis and Charles, and a daughter Hester, mentioned in the will of John Harrison [Plomer, Wills, pp. 48, 49]. In 1603 Gubbin was admitted a freeman of York. His last book entry occurs on May 15th, 1614 [Arber, iii. 546]. His will dated August 15th, 1625, and proved on December 21st, 1629, is in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury [P.C.C., 106, Ridley]. The above addresses are recorded by Mr. Arber in his Bibliographical Summary, but the majority of Gubbins' books have no address. A person of the name of Gubbins is mentioned in 1624 in John Gee's Foot out of the snare as a disperser of popish books.

MLT Note: - also a freeman of York
