John Groves of Crown Court, Russel Street, Covent Garden gent was a witness at the trial of Thomas Hardy for treason in November 1794. He said he had been a conveyancer for 22 years and that he first attended the LCS in order to spy on it on 20.1.1794. His first preserved letter as a spy was dated 13.2.1794; in it he said he had introduced himself to Daniel Jones, whitesmith, who was Clerk to a presbyterian meeting in Crown Court and a member of the LCS, in order to be invited to Div 2. Groves had voted from Crown Court 1788 Townshend and 1790 Fox and stood bail for one Richard Jackson…

Robert son of John & Elise Hawes bapt 27.12.1748 Bury St Edmunds
The best source for his family was the will proved PCC 10.4.1801 of his aunt Unica Hawes of Botesdale, Suffolk from which we see he had many cousins, his father had died by 1784, his grandparents John & Ellen Hawes were buried in Rickinghall churchyard, his uncle Robert was an apothecary of Bury St Edmunds (whose will was proved PCC 1784).
Robert Hawes was apprenticed 21.10.1761 for 7 years with a premium of £25 to William Green stationer of Bury St Edmunds. From 1770 he was in partnership with his fellow…

James Horne joined unnumbered division (QV) 26.2.1794 London St, Fenchurch St. (usually called Old London St)
Jas Horne 10 Old London St admitted Chr Smedley to St Thomas Hospital 10.9.1789

None of the James Horne records below seem to have had any links with Fenchurch St which is near Bishopsgate where Lestourgeon and Page, the two earlier members of this division lived. Maiden Lane and Huggin Lane were both near Aldersgate, half a mile to the west, and Holborn a mile to the west.

Thomas Hardy DNB 1752-1832 mentioned in his interrogation by the Privy Council in May 1794  (Nat Arch TS 11/963) Edward Hodgson printer of 22 Bell Yard. Unlike Bonney, Joyce and Thelwall, Hardy did not refuse to answer the Privy Council but the names he gave may have been deliberately innocent ones. Stationers Company records…

Morning Chronicle 25.3.1796 ad for subs for LCS sending deputies into the country, list of those receiving subs included Hughes, bookseller, Carthusian St, Charterhouse Sq (Thale p351 note 49).

CRABB ROBINSON DIARY 25.5.1820 Mrs Lanseer, mother of the artist - radical views

                                                  12.6.1827 "the late Mrs Lanseer was a firm believer and Unitarian Christian"

I could find no trace of the death of Mrs Ann Landseer but she seems to have been the person Crabb Robinson was referring to (see below for details). In noting her Christian beliefs Robinson was defending her against those who confounded her radical views with disbelief. He could not have meant John Landseer's wife Jane nee Potts who lived till 1840
