# A Dictionary of the Booksellers and Printers who Were at Work in England, Scotland and Ireland from 1641 to 1667/Gellibrand (Samuel)

​GELLIBRAND (SAMUEL), bookseller in London, (1) The Brazen Serpent in Paul's Church Yard, 1643; (2) The Ball in St. Paul's Churchyard, 1650-66, 1669-75; (3) St. James Clerkenwell, 1666-68 (1637-75). Son of Henry Gellibrand, of London, Dr. of Physic, deceased, apprenticed to Henry Fetherstone, q.v., from Midsummer, 1630. Took up his freedom June 26th, 1637. [Arber, iii. 688.] First book entry, July 18th, 1637. Became a well known bookseller, dealing chiefly in theological books, and was one of those who subscribed to Luke Fawne's Beacon set on Fire. There is an interesting reference to Samuel Gellibrand in the will of Walter Floyd, apparently a soldier, who died in 1645, and directed his executor to pay a sum of Five Pounds "to Mr. Samuel Gellibrand at the Brasen Serpent in St. Paul's Churchyard for Capt. Golledge." [P.C.C. 102, Rivers.] He is also mentioned in the marriage license of Henry Gellibrand in 1666, where his address was given as. St. James' Clerkenwell. Samuel Gellibrand died between August 5th and November 10th, 1675. By his will it appears that he had three sons, John, Edward, and Henry, the latter pre-deceasing him. To his wife he left his stock of books bound and unbound, and also all his part in the English stock. One of the witnesses was Moses Pitt, who afterwards became a noted bookseller. [P.C.C. 110, Dycer.]
