3 Swans 4.6.1797 at Horseman's Oxford / 6.11.1810 at Ward's (with Coleridge & Middleton)

Godwin's letter to Mary Wollstonecraft (Abinger c40 f168) referred facetiously to "Mr Swan and his two wives or sisters". Unlike the others Godwin met at Horseman's, there was no Swan at Oxford University at that time, the nearest in Alum Ox being Abraham Swanne son of Richard of Raphoe Ireland cleric, adm 17.12.1784 age 17 BA 1789. Maybe it really meant some swans rather than humans.
