HAVILAND (THOMAS), printer in London, (?) 1582-1619; A little above the conduit, Aldermanbury. Admitted to the freedom of the Company of Stationers on August 7th, 1582 [Arber, ii. 687]. Is believed to have succeeded to the business of Richard Bradock { BRADDOCK, Richard ‹ LBT 07469 › } [Arber, ii. 701, 702]. Thomas Haviland was probably a bookbinder as well as printer, as in 1601, when he took Simon Farwell { FARWELL, Simon ‹ LBT 07694 › } as an apprentice, it was expressly stipulated by the Company that he was not to be brought up to the Stationers' or printers' trade, but only to that "other trade" that Haviland "nowe useth in his shop" [Arber, ii. 252]. The first entry under Haviland's name in the Registers is found on April 3rd, 1609, when with William Hall { HALL, William ( - 1617) ‹ LBT 06786 › } be received licence to print sheriffs' warrants, recognizances for alehouses and other documents of that nature, which had previously belonged to Richard Bradock. He printed also, between 1609 and 1611, several theological works, but in no case does he give his address in the imprint [Arber, iii. 404]. His will was proved on November 24th, 1619, and he left his business to his nephew John Haviland { HAVILAND, John ‹ LBT 09027 › }, son of his brother John Haviland, clerk [Commissary of London, Vol. 23, fol. 333-5].
