2.11.1795 miss Boswell at Richard Johnson's

Her father James Boswell DNB 1740-1795 was at Richard Johnson's on 8.1.1794 (Journal). He died on 19.5.1795 leaving three daughters, the eldest Veronica died in October 1795 aged 22. The youngest Elizabeth (Betsy) was aged 15 at a boarding school in Chelsea, so this is more likely to be Euphemia born 1774 will PCC 1837 spinster of Auchinleck. She would have been in mourning, for father and sister, and the other guest at Johnson's Mrs Sharpe was perhaps her 'chaperone'. See Elizabeth Ogborne (DNB 1763/4-1853).
