I think these could all have been Francis Jeffrey DNB 1773-1850 who has a person record on GD website but only mentions of him in Edinburgh are coded to him. The 1817 adv. Brougham is especially likely to have been him. To edit the Edinburgh Review meant he was probably often in…

Jobson 16.3.1800 at John King's

Godwin's diary Vol VII f 46v the first name in the 1796 list, Jocelyn. In the 1794 version Sir C Jocelyn

Conyers Jocelyn, of Hyde Hall Sawbridgeworth, baronet and Doctor of Medicine, died unmarried 1778 when the baronetcy went to his cousin and merged into the Earldom of Roden, see Burke's Peerage which wrongly gives his date of death as 1771. William Godwin's younger brother was christened Conyers Jocelyn Godwin on 8.1.1761. Godwin seems to have stayed at Hyde Hall on his way to London in 1773

Johns 17.1.1795 at Powel's

Johnson Cowper 21.4.1801 at Joseph Johnson's

John Johnson DNB 1769-1833

Johnson 5.8.1800 at Wallace's trial, Carlow

GD website has coded this to Joseph Johnson DNB 1738-1809 which seems extremely unlikely to me
