SOCIETY FOR CONSTITUTIONAL INFORMATION George Jackson Esq of Bath proposed member 5.7.1782 by James Martin 2nded Edward Bridgen

I haven't satisfactorily identified this person but he may have been George Duckett (formerly Jackson) (DNB 1725-1822), though his politics both before (as a government official) and after (as a Member of Parliament) was to support the ministries of North and Pitt, he had been dismissed from his post as secretary to the Admiralty by Augustus Keppel on 12.6.1782 and this may have induced him to take a temporary interest in the SCI.

Jacob in Godwin's 1796 list for 1773, in the 1794 version Jacob is preceded by Jos (crossed out). In some of Godwin's autobiographical notes (these ones don't seem to be scanned online, I read them on microfilm Duke MF 75 in Bodleian Library) he wrote "Jacob's - admiration of Jos" shortly after his arrival in London 1773

John Jacob died 15.7.1804 in his 70th year. In his will (Nat Arch PROB11/1411) he made his brother Joseph of Fulham, coachmaker, an executor. In Ann Godwin's letter of 1805 (Abinger c.9 f2) she said of Mr Benford (who had just died) "he was a trustee for a 150 3 per…

Jacobs 4.1.1795 at Tooke's.

This could have been a singular surname or a plural of Jacob. It may have been William Godwin's friends the brothers John & Joseph Jacob. No particular reason to suppose they went to Tooke's dinners

Matilda Hill Clarke (QV*) her will PCC 1835 mentioned her friend Elizabeth Mary James spinster "now living with me" (1831). The friend of Mrs Aders in the letter of 1830 may or may not be the same person. An Elizabeth Mary James translated works of…
