Late librarian of the collegiate church died 5.7.1817 age 64 (newspapers) buried Westminster Abbey 11.7.1817. Not found in Oxford, Cambridge or Dublin lists. Perhaps a son of James Horsfall, son of Joseph of Slaithwaite Yorks, who was admitted Middle Temple 1767 librarian there from 1767-1776 and Under-Treasurer 1776 till his death in 1785.

Samuel Horwood butcher Newgate-market (his will PCC 1838) / James Horwood Esq 66 Wynyatt-st sheepskin salesman & Thomas Horwood 122 St John-st sheepskin salesman.

names & addresses on flyleaf of Godwin's diary vol xv: Hossick, Vanderlyn painter, Jas. Achard 16 Bloomsbury-sq / 24.4.1809 Hossick calls

For the other names on the flyleaf see Graves, William; Davis/Davies after 1805; and Randolph, David Meade. I can find nothing to suggest who Hossick was except presumably a friend of Burr's. John Vanderlyn 1775-1852 wikipedia was a friend of Burr's and was in Paris in 1809. James Achard was listed in directories at 8 Gt Ormond-st in 1802 and 1805, and in Land Tax lists 1806 to 1809 at Bloomsbury-sq, in a fairly substantial house rental £100.…

Housselaer 26.4.1795 at King's, 21.9.1795 there, 19.10.1795 adv at theatre, 9.11.1795 at King's, 3.12.1795 there

This was quite likely Godwin's mis-spelling of Haussoullier (sometimes spelt Haussoulier). See work notes below for similar names from the Low Countries, perhaps this was a French variant. At any rate Haussoulier was a very interesting character and a likely guest at John King's table. Notes & Queries Jan to June 1863 p 91 gave no sources but the facts check out well with records, saying he was a French Jew and fortune-hunter who married the wrong lady by mistake. The…

All the above entries (except the rev Hudson 1804) are coded on the GD website to John Corrie Hudson, although the editorial notes on his person record say that they shouldn't be. The second entry should obviously be coded to the person record of Hudson Gurney.
