TAG Vol 56, pp 13-23
While yet a mere boy, John Abbot left his ancestral village as an apprentice ot Thomas Dyster, a London mercer, in 1395/6, then probably aged 14. He finished his apprenticeship about 1407 at which time he was admitted to the freedom of the mercers' Compnay. He served as a warden of this company 1415-16, 1422-3, 1428-9 and 1432-3 (Warden's Account Book, Company of Mercers, London)
The next record of him is in 1409 regarding a bond or debt, at which time he was a recognized merchant and voting citizen of the city.
