MACHAM (SAMUEL I), bookseller in London, 1608-15: The Bull-Head, St. Paul's Churchyard. Son of Thomas Macham of Ashby de la Zouch in the county of Leicester; apprenticed to Simon Waterson { WATERSON, Simon ( - 1635) ‹ LBT 08687 › }, for ten years from Michaelmas, 1595 [Arber, ii. 206]. Took up his freedom July 2nd, 1605 [Arber, iii. 683]. His first book entry occurs in partnership with Mathew Cooke { COOK, Mathew ( - 1607) ‹ LBT 06956 › }, an edition of the pseudo-Chaucerian Ploughman's Tale [Arber, iii. 310]. Mathew Cooke died in 1607. Samuel Macham appears to have dealt chiefly in theological works. By his will, which was dated July 5th, 1615, and proved on the 22nd of the same month, he left bequests to his son Samuel { MATCHAM, Samuel ‹ LBT 10046 › } and a daughter Sara, and appointed his wife Joyce { MACHAM, Joyce ‹ LBT 03283 › } executrix. Humphrey Lownes { LOWNES, Humphrey ( - 1630) ‹ LBT 08023 › } was named as one of the overseers. [P.C.C., 67, Rudd.]
