31.7.1795 general Hull at John Frank Newton's
There were no generals named Hull in the British forces at that time but the American general William Hull 1753-1825 (American National Biography) according to one report visited Europe about then. He lived at Newton, Massachusetts where he built a brewery in 1799 run by an English brewer, Newton the town may have had connections with John Frank Newton'sfamily. Another American general was at Newton's on 30.12.1795 (see Marshall, John)
Hume 3.8.1800 at (Castle) Brown's
GD website has coded this to Joseph Hume DNB 1767-1844 but there's no reason to think he was in Ireland in 1800. Perhaps Gustavus Hume Dict Irish Biog 1732-1812 surgeon or his sons Thomas MD 1769-1850, Arthur, Gustavus & Travers. Sub 1798 to D R O'Conor Travers Hume DD Glebe Hill, Ardee, co. Louth. Rev Travers Hume = Oct 1787 Miss Balaguirere in Merrion Sq Dublin / Dublin Trades 1797 Arthur Hume agent Dublin Castle
Joseph Hume DNB 1767-1844. Mentioned 540 times in Godwin's diary, only exceeded by Godwin's second wife, his two children, James Marshall, Thomas Holcroft, Charles Lamb, Thomas Turner, David Booth and John Fenwick. The DNB knows very little about him and most of their article concerns a practical joke he and Lamb played on William Hazlitt. He was born 9.4.1764 in Bishopsgate Street, London son of John Hume and Sarah Weatherly, who had been married on 14.3.1758 at St Augustine Watling St, London as bachelor and spinster. The births of their three children John, Ann and Joseph were…

James Humphreys DNB 1768-1830 said in DNB to have been a friend of Horne Tooke, was perhaps all 5 entries at Tooke's, despite a change of spelling, and may have also been the two at…
18.1.1792 Huniades.
John Huniades was a Hungarian general who defeated the Turks and died in 1456. Godwin mentioned him in St Leon. By the time he wrote St Leon he was reading the 12 volume 1797 edition of Gibbon's Decline and Fall (te0884) but Gibbon was the most likely source of information on Huniades so he may have referred to an earlier edition at this point
mrs Hunt 6.4.1797 at mrs Inchbald's
Possibly Catherine wife of Capt Hunt (see Hunt, Nehemiah Augustus)
capt Hunt 24.2.1797 adv at Northcote's

The brothers Archibald & Joseph Hunter both signed the Declaration of the Friends to the Liberty of the Press 1792 and both joined the London Corresponding Socy (see Thale; and Trials for Treason & Sedition vols 4 & 5). Archibald was a witness at Thomas Hardy's trial. He was in Hardy's division of the LCS and said he was introduced to it by his brother Joseph. He lived in Greek Street with his wife Sarah and voted for Fox in 1796. Joseph was a perfumer/…
16.3.1789 Hunter at Miss Williams' and 11.3.1791 (where it is wrongly coded to her husband John) as the 'Mes' makes it clear it was female both times. Anne Hunter DNB 1742/3-1821. In Godwin's 1796 list for 1791 and in the 1794 version as mrs J Hunter, which suggests that the 1789 entry might have been her daughter Agnes. The 1796 list entry has not been coded to her person record on the GD website

There are 5 entries in the DNB for Doctor Hunters in 1798, but Alexander H 1729?-1809, Andrew H 1744-1809 and John H 1745-1837 were more likely to have been found in their respective professional spheres of York, Edinburgh and St Andrews. John Hunter DNB 1754-1809 physician worked in London and the first edition of his Diseases of the Army in Jamaica had been…
6.7.1806 Mrs Hunter at Joseph Johnson's
Perhaps the wife of Joseph Johnson's step-nephew Rowland Hunter, or possibly Hunter's mother Elizabeth née Gaskell who died in 1815. Rowland Hunter bach = St Gregory by St Pauls 3.7.1802 Ann Bellworth wid of St James Westminster. Hunter was her third husband and probably ten or more years her junior. John Bellworth wid = St Geo Han Sq 3.12.1799 Ann Kent wid by lic. She had three children by her first husband Thomas Kent, the eldest of whom, Mary Ann, married the poet and essayist Leigh Hunt (DNB 1784-1959). According to the Leigh Hunt…

19.1.1808 Mrs Hutton calls
This was the only instance of the name Hutton in Godwin's diary, so it's hard to make any definite identity, but I think it was quite probably Catherine Hutton DNB 1756-1846. She was unmarried but aged 52 so it would be normal if a little old fashioned for Godwin to call her Mrs Hutton. Her novels had not yet been published. Read her DNB article and judge for yourself. There may be among her letters and diaries at Birmingham something which could confirm or deny my guess
