Maurice 26.11.1794 at Parr's / 5.4.1796 at Mackintosh's / 2.4.1813 at Museum.
Thomas Maurice DNB 1754-1824 as he was Dr Parr's pupil, his anti-Jacobin politics would not have excluded him from Parr's or Mackintosh's table. At Hatton Parr dined with the local Tories; Hewerdine is another example of an enthusiastic anti-radical Godwin sometimes met. There was also Michael Maurice DNB 1766-1855 dissenting minister who was evening preacher at Hackney in 1792 and married Priscilla Hurry in 1794, but in all three contexts Godwin saw Maurice, Thomas seems more likely
7.5.1807 dine at Philips's with mrs Mavor
The wife of William Fordyce Mavor (DNB 1758-1837) who has a person record on GD website. According to DNB her maiden name was Ann Harris. Her death was recorded in Jackson's Oxford Journal 21.9.1822.

Joseph Mawman of York bought in 1800 the business of Charles Dilly DNB 1739-1807. His will PCC 1827 bookseller of Ludgate St. The 1808 entry could possibly be him. Godwin once spelt him with a u and had just shortened Sharp

call on Goldsmith with McAdam 16.3.1802 / 19.3.1802 sign with Goldsmith & McAdam
The event tag on 19.3.1802 in GD website suggests this related to Godwin renegotiating his tenancy. See my Goldsmith entry for Godwin's neighbour Charles Goldsmith. John Loudoun McAdam DNB 1756-1836 roadbuilder is an unlikely possible, becoming settled in Bristol at this time. The name was surprisingly rare also in the variant McAdams, most London instances I found were paupers. William Mackadam glover of Church Row Strand voted Fox 1784. PCC 1815 George Craig MacAdam physician to Forces Malta
7.10.1808 dine at Johnson's w. Macarthur / 8.10.1808 meet McArthur
Quite likely John McArthur DNB 1755-1840 seaman and author, as authors often dined with Joseph Johnson even if he did not publish them. In Holdens 1811 Directory there were two Macarthurs (both Mr John) in the Court section: in the Trades section were a bookbinder, an innkeeper, a shoemaker and a pilot

James McCabe gent insured 13 Primrose St on 1.11.1806. He was probably a lodger in the house of John Smith appraiser (see Smith, John at Joseph Godwin's) who was listed for that house in the rate books from 1800 to 1807. The first and third entries above were in a list of calls that included Godwin's brother Joseph, who seems to have assisted Godwin in mamaging the Primrose Street houses, and in the first case Edward Ball (see Ball), another of the tenants. McCabe was perhaps…

K B, Mcgrain v. Armstrong 8.7.1800 / 12.7.1800 Macgray (at Curran's?)
Perhaps John Warneford Armstrong Dict Irish Biog 1770-1858 noted for his active suppression amd harsh treatment of rebels and radicals. The only possibility I could find for Mcgrain/Macgray was Dublin Trades 1797 George Magrane hat manufacturer and merchant. K B was presumably Kings Bench. Sadly I don't have easy access to Dublin newspapers which may have covered this case
