Dunstan Whaplod
This stationer, whose surname appears in a number of spellings (Whaplane, Whaplade, Whaplett, Whapplodd), flourished in London between 1566 and 1577 and was apparently a member of the Stationers' Company before the charter of 1557 (Duff, p. 168). In 1566-67, he was licensed to publish The Epitaph of Sir Martin Bowes (Arber, I, 329). On 14 June 1571, "Dunston Waplod and Joan Sutton" were married by license at St. Mary Woolnoth; she was presumably the widow of "Edwarde Sutton, Stacioner," who was buried there on 30 January 1568/9.[11] William Kynge, formerly apprenticed to Joan Sutton, was transferred to Whaplod on 14 January 1576/7, and Whaplod was fined 12d. on 13 January 1578/9 for failing to attend on the Lord Mayor seven days before (Arber, II, 673, 849). On 5 April 1582, "Dunstane Whaplett of the parrishe of saincte Olave in the Borowghe of Sowthwark in the countie of Surreye, beinge sicke in bodye," made his nuncupative will, in which he leaves all of his goods to his wife Jone Whaplett, whom he names sole executrix (P.R.O., Prob. 11. 64/Tirwhite 14). One witness to the will was Christopher Style, preacher of St. Olave's, Southwark. Joanne Whaplett probated the will in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury on 21 April 1582. Then, on 9 September 1583, "Thomas Goffe, of the Parish of St. Olaves, in Southwark, and Johan Whaplett, Wydow," of St. Mary Woolnoth, were married by license at the latter church (Registers . . . of S. Mary Woolnoth . . . , p. 129).
