16.4.1798 call on Cowie

On GD website the above entry is not underlined as unidentified but there is no person record for Cowie. See letters Abinger c4 f18-19(8.5.1798), c4 f20-1(10.5.1798), c15 f20-1, c22 f86 (2.1.1798), c22 f96 (Wed - presumably 9.5.1798). Cowie appears to have been a business associate of Gilbert Imlay and also of R Sherman. Cowie and or Sherman must have been assignees of Moore & Co, carpet manufacturers, founded by Thomas Moore DNB 1700?-1788 and their attorneys must have been Rowland & William Maltby. Sherman referred to a letter from Mrs Godwin (Mary…

31.5.1808 call on Northcote; adv. E Cowper / 1.9.1817 again

Clearly a long term acquaintance of James Northcote DNB 1746-1831 artist. I considered a mistress of the bachelor Northcote but decided it was more probably Peter Leopold &c, the 5th Earl Cowper 1778-1837, (succeeded 1799) who perhaps enjoyed Northcote's famous conversation.

5.4.1793 Crawford at Nicholson's. In Godwin's 1796 list in 1793 and in 1794 version.

 Maybe Adair Crawford DNB 1748-95 physician and chemist; as a chemist likely to have been a friend of William Nicholson. He married Eleanor Stone (sister of William Stone who was tried for treason in 1796) on 22.5.1786 at Tiverton, Devon, and died at Lymington, Hants. His will PCC 1796 makes his brother Dr Alexander Crawford of Lisburn Ireland joint executor with serjeant James Adair (DNB 1743? - 1798), they had presumably a family connection in northern Ireland.

W Cree 2.7.1800 at Curran's, Rathfarnham / 4.7.1800 Cree there / 5.7.1800 Crees there

Probably referred to the family of Curran's estranged wife Sarah, daughter of Dr Richard Creagh. They married in 1774 and separated in 1794. According to Leslie Hale's book John Philpot Curran p136 they never saw each other again but Curran retained the respect of his father-in-law.
