Likely to have been Joseph Johnson nephew of Joseph Johnson DNB 1738-1809 who has a person record in GD website but these entries left uncoded. He is identified in GD website (as JJ) in four entries in 1810. The 1801 entry Jn's was Godwin referring back to the call he made on Johnson earlier that day
11.6.1806 dine at Johnson's w. mrs Johnson / 2.7.1823 call on mrs Johnson, Eastcheap
Could have been the wife of Joseph Johnson's nephew Joseph. He married Alice Sutton at West Kirby, Cheshire in 1797 and their children's births were recorded at Bryom Street Baptist church, Liverpool. If not her then probably not a relative of Joseph Johnson's
R Johnson was in Godwin's 1796 list between Pope 30.11.1793 and Tresham 14.12.1793, and in 1794 version (and Joseph Johnson was strangely absent from 1796 list). Richard Johnson (History of Parliament) 1753-1807 of 104 Pall Mall was a 'nabob' MP, son of Dr Johnson of the Hague, he married 1.3.1792 Sophia daughter of John Courtenay MP, and his sister Mary (1740-1827) married Alexander Blair (died 1816). His most frequent guests were the Courtenays and Mackintosh, the Blairs appear twice as does una Italiana, and most of Godwin's visits are for tea. Johnson first came to Godwin's, along…

30.11.1793 Johnstone at Wright's. In a row with three other performers. Hewardine and Pope were in Godwin's 1796 list for 1793 and in the 1794 version; Dignum wasn't in the list, but J H Johnstone may be the Jonstone next to Baddeley (another actor) both crossed out in the 1796 list for 1787, and also in the 1794 version.

call on Ponsonby, Joinville 3.8.1800
I've found no references to this as a surname in Ireland or England but it was an aristocratic and historic name in France. It may have been the name of Ponsonby's residence near Dublin, as Godwin was on his journey to Carlow via Castle Browne

Louisa Jones daughter of Arthur & Ann Jones was baptised 13.8.1773 at Bath Abbey. Arthur Jones had married Ann Crosby on 4.10.1766 at Bath Abbey and in his will dated 8.9.1794 and proved 27.1.1795 (Nat Arch PROB11/1254) he called himself woollen draper of Bath, and mentioned 2 sons, Richard (in business at Frome who had "made improper use" of money) and Thomas; and 4 daughters Elizabeth, Margaret, Louisa & Frances. At St Dionis Backchurch, London on 4.7.1801 Louisa Jones, "spinster of this parish" married Henry Dibbin, bachelor of St Michael Bread Street,…
9.5.1797
Margaret Jones daughter of Arthur & Ann Jones was baptised 15.9.1772 at Bath Abbey. For her family see Jones, Louisa. On 4.3.1798 Godwin saw E & M Jones at Bath, clearly Margaret and her older sister Elizabeth. Their father died in 1794 and didn't mention their mother in his will. We can assume that the "Jones's" of 9.5.1797, 5.3.1798, 10.3.1798, 12.3.1798 and 14.3.1798 are these 2 sisters plus possibly their sister Frances and/or their brothers. Elizabeth Jones' will of 1804 (Nat Arch PROB11/1417) made it clear she was particularly close to her sister Margaret.…
