Matthew 8.1.1797 at John King's and in 1796 list for 1797 / 21.2.1799 Matthew adv at theatre

In Godwin's 1796 list for 1787, crossed out and inserted above in 1792, also in 1794 version for 1787. The crossed out Wolcot in the 1796 list is not coded to his person record on the GD website.

John Wolcot DNB 1738-1819. I presume (though it is pure speculation) that Godwin moved Wolcot in the list because he had met him in 1787 but had not conversed with him. I think this was the only entry in the 1796 list that got moved further than within a year or to the next year.
