MAN (THOMAS), senior, bookseller in London, 1576-1625; The Talbot in Paternoster Row. Son of John Man, of Westbury in Gloucestershire, butcher. Apprentice to John Harrison the elder { HARRISON, John ( - 1616) ‹ LBT 07614 › }, stationer of London, for eight years from Midsummer, 1567, and made free of the Company some time before July 17th, 1576 [Arber, i. 351]. He dealt almost wholly in theological books, and rapidly rose to be one of the largest capitalists in the trade, and at the same time one of the most important men in the Company of Stationers, of which he was elected Master in the years 1604, 1610, 1614 and 1616. He was twice married, and had a numerous family. Of his sons three, Thomas { MAN, Thomas ‹ LBT 08041 › }, Paul { MAN, Paul ‹ LBT 10403 › } and Jonas or Jonah { MAN, Jonas ‹ LBT 10415 › }, were stationers and booksellers. One of his daughters, Anne { LOWNES, Anne (mar. LOWNDES) ‹ LBT 03195 › }, married Humphrey Lownes { LOWNES, Humphrey ( - 1630) ‹ LBT 08023 › }. Thomas Man's second wife was Anne Syms { SYMS, Anne (mar. MAN) ‹ LBT 03151 › }, widow of Randall Syms { SYMS, Randall ‹ LBT 06661 › }, to whom he was married on September l0th, 1605 [Chester, London Marriage Licenses, col. 881]. She had a daughter, Sara Syms, who appears to have gone to America. On May 3rd, 1624, Thomas Man, senior, assigned over the bulk of his copyrights to his sons, Paul and Jonas [Arber, iv. 117]. His will was proved on June 16th, 1625. He left his house and lands in Hammersmith to his son Paul, and also his house in Paternoster Row, then in the occupation of Benjamin Fisher { FISHER, Benjamin ‹ LBT 10414 › }, who seems to have carried on the business of the Mans after 1625, although no formal transfer of the copyrights to him seems to have been made until August 12th, 1635 [Arber, iv. 344-5]. His will is given in H. F. Waters' Genealogical Gleanings, 1901, pp. 1065-6.
