WILLIAMS (FRANCIS), bookseller in London, 1626-30; The Globe, over against the Royal Exchange. He took up his freedom in the Company of Stationers on November 11th, 1625 [Arber, iii. 686], and on January 16th, 1622, a large number of copyrights were transferred to him by the widow { JACKSON, (Unknown) ‹ LBT 30695 › } of Roger Jackson { JACKSON, Roger ( - 1626) ‹ LBT 08130 › } [Arber, iv. 149]. His first entry in the Registers was made on May 17th, 1626 [Arber, iv. 160].

He made his last entry in the Registers on March 1st, 1627/8, and on June 29th, 1630, he assigned most of his copies to Master Harrison { ? } [Arber, iv. 237].
