Probably Dr John Moore. Godwin seems consistent in using Moore or dr Moore for the father and using initials for his sons and for the two unrelated Moores (M & H) he saw in the 1790s

Fuseli and Bonnycastle were present at each of the dinners above but that is not surprising as they were regulars at Johnson's. One of the mathematical assistants to Bonnycastle at the Royal Military Academy Woolwich was John Moore esq but no sign he ever had a rank in the army. James Moore (DNB 1762-1860) was a friend of Fuseli's and Godwin's and…
mrs Moore 24.5.1795 calls / 4.1.1808 call on
If this was the wife of Dr John Moore then it was Jean, nee Simson, married 17.6.1754, died 1820. Possibly also the wife or mother of Matthew Moore who was visiting Godwin around 1795, if he was the M Moore of the diary
2.5.1816 call on Moore (not seen)
This should be added on GD website to the person record for Thomas Moore DNB 1779-1852 poet. He was then living at Mayfield Cottage, Ashbourne and Godwin on his return journey from Edinburgh via Manchester went to Ashbourne presumably mainly to see Moore

HCR diary 12.12.1821 at Aders "I found the party all in raptures with the performance on the violin of a Mr Mori who they all extolled to the skies" "Mori has the look of a man of talent - Burrel says he is only a fine performer and stops short of genius and is not to be compared with Philippi (right name?)"

24.12.1810 write to Fairly on Morison
Fairly called the day before, on this day, and on the next day to say goodbye. His base was in Edinburgh. So this write to is a bit mysterious. The Morison may have been the recently deceased James Morison DNB 1762-1809, who was a bookseller and a Glasite, like Godwin's friend David Booth DNB 1766-1846 and his father-in-law William Thomas Baxter
call on Morland (& R Hunter) 13.9.1799 / 3.4.1806 Wedd's (Morland)
The first entry above was probably not the artist George Morland DNB 1763-1804 (according to the DNB he was in the Isle of Wight from April to November 1799) but the second must have referred to him (or his pictures) after his death as Wedd was the name of Morland's solicitor
HENRY ROBERT MORLAND (1716x19-1797)
CURRENT TEXT "(1716x19-1797), painter and engraver, the son of the genre painter George Henry Morland (d.1789) of St James's Square, London, was born on 6 October 1716 or in 1718 or 1719. Although his existence was doubted by Martin Davies (p.101), an entry for George Henry Morland is included in Ellis Waterhouse's British Eighteenth Century Painters in Oils and Crayons (p.247). Joseph Farington recorded on 15 June 1795 that Morland was seventy-six years old (Farington, Diary, 2.353)."
