Perhaps Donald Campbell DNB 1751-1804 whose will PCC 1804 dated 5.5.1804 mentioned his reputed son William aged 2 or 3 years and Augusta Kendall, probably the mother. His legitimate son Frederick William is also in DNB 1782-1846 so could have been included in the plural Campbells as well as his mother Mary whose dates are not given in DNB

mrs Cannon 15.3.1795 at King's / 22.3.1795 there / 14.11.1804 call on mrs Cannons / Cannon calls 24.1.1815

On 16.1.1791 Cannon contributed £50 (one of the largest donations) to the Socy of Const Info's subscription to relieve the French. Since Carbine also gave £50 these may have been joke names ( a rather dangerous political joke). A Mrs Cannon of Little Chelsea kept a seminary for young ladies (post-1800) (DNB J G H Jay 1770-1849). Edward Bacon Cannon attorney of Leicester Pl Soho voted Paull 1806 Burdett 1818. Cannons was a surname though far less frequent than Cannon, e.g. John…

31.3.1795 Casey at King's (= Carey see original) /16.9.1795 Cary at John King's / 23.11.1795 House of Commons with Cary

The entries at King's were surely Captain John Carey later Viscount Falkland, (as all Carey entries at King's have been coded in GD website), and that at the House of Commons very likely him too, Godwin having seen Carey at King's only two days before on 21.11.1795. The topic of debate in the House on 23.11.1795 was the so called "two bills", for the security of the King, and against seditious meetings, and the many petitions for and against them.

The mrs Carter who died 19.2.1806 was Elizabeth Carter DNB 1717-1806 and perhaps too respectable a "bluestocking" to have been a guest at John King's

John Edward Carter gent of Leicester was a party to the marriage settlement of Augustus Butler (qv) to miss Danvers, his will PCC 1813. Thomas Leveson Prescott…

Darval 17.11.1799 at John King's / 5.1.1800 Derville at John King's / 9.2.1800 again / 17.1.1802 again

The first entry above is transcribed Da[-rn?]al in GD website. The original is hard to read but in the light of the three Derville entries following it was probably Darval. Robert Dupont Derval was a Major in the York Rangers from 26.12.1796 until 1797. He was named as a defendant in a Chancery cause in 1807 to 1809 Timothy Stansfeld (will PCC 1829 obit of Feld House, New Cross in 75th year) vs Augustus Bultler Danvers (qv), Robert D'Ervall (abroad), John King, Jane Countess of…

Elisee 17.11.1799 at John King's / 29.12.1799 at Lanesborough's

Probably the surgeon Marie-Vincent Talochon 1753-1817  known as Pere Elisee or Elysee, a favourite of Louis XVIII considered by some to be a charlatan.
