JEFFERSON (HENRY), printer in London, 1586. Apprentice to Roger Ward { WARDE, Roger ( - 1598) ‹ LBT 08076 › } and admitted a freeman of the Company of Stationers on April 3rd, 1587 [Arber, ii. 699]. In 1586 he had a printing press in company with Robert Bourne [ BOURNE, Robert ‹ LBT 08716 › } and Lawrence Tuck { TUCK, Laurence ‹ LBT 30771 › }, which was seized by the Company of Stationers and defaced for printing Grammars contrary to the Decree of the Star Chamber, and the parties were disabled from ever keeping a printing house on their own account, or from printing otherwise than as journeymen [Records of the Company of Stationers; Arber, ii. 760, 768, 800-4].
