Further Notes
Renter Wardenship - If the normal progression was observed then Seton will have served as junior Renter Warden in 1597-1598. --- Assistantship - Greg (p.xxiii) though it "reasonable to suppose that past officers remained members of the Court" and that most of those men who became Assistants between 1576 nd 1602 without evidence of direct election did so by virtue of their election as Under Warden. ---

SETON (GREGORY), bookseller in London, 1577-1608; Under Aldersgate. Son of Nicholas Seton of Helmedon, Northampton, husbandman. Apprentice to John Judson { JUDSON, John ( - 1589) ‹ LBT 07885 › }, stationer of London, for eight years from Michaelmas, 1566, and chosen into the Livery of the Company on July 4th, 1590 [Arber, i. 323; ii. 87 I]. Gregory Seton made his first entry in the Registers on March l0th, 1577/8 [Arber, ii. 325]. He dealt chiefly in theological literature and used as a device a play upon his name, a tun floating on the sea. Seton was elected Under Warden of the Company in 1601, and Upper Warden in 1607. He died between May 2nd and 12th, 1612, his will being dated and proved on these two dates. Seton appears to have been an intimate friend of the family of John Day { DAY, John (1522 - 1584) ‹ LBT 07316 › }, the printer, who for a time lived over Aldersgate. To the printer's son John, who took holy orders, he left his best Bible and he refers to Lionel Day, another son, as his kinsman [P.C.C., 43, Fenner].
