GODWIN DIARY: 14.10.1791 Pearson and his character talked of at J Hollis', with Dr Lister and Barry. Up to this point no Pearson had appeared in the diary, nor did any Pearson ever appear in the 1796 list. Most likely to have been George Pearson DNB 1751-1828 lecturer at St George's Hospital, as a public character and of special interest to Dr Lister. The next Pearson was 4.2.1793 at tea at Godwin's with Jardine, Fenwick and Symonds. If this was Thomas Symonds the barrister who proposed Fenwick as a member of the Constitutional Society on 5.10.1792 then this may have been John Pearson (…

13.7.1796 drive with Copland to Caston : Peasant

This was a long drive, Caston is 30 miles from Dalling, it's near Thetford and right next to Thompson where Colonel William Harwood inherited a property. They also must have driven back as Godwin supped at Dalling. I can find no record of an inn at Caston known as the Peasant. Peasant does occur as a surname but is rare. For Copland see Copland, John Dawson. See also Sewll, Bartholomew, and Flower
