William Hodgson DNB 1745-1851 who was in Newgate on the state side in 1794 and 1795. When first tried and imprisoned for uttering seditious and inflammatory words he was recorded in newspapers and official records as Hudson and the criminal register gave his age as 30 in 1794 which contradicts by 19 years the birth date in DNB (which seems…

Hodson 1.2.1799 at Mrs Fancourt's with Vardons & Chandler

Hoffmans 21.6.1799 at John king's / 17.11.1799 again

28.2.1794 after 'call on Gray'

The GD website has Hogan as an Idenified Person but knows almost nothing about him.The mentions of Hogan in Godwin's diary were approx 200 from 16.3.1812 to 12.2.1816, most of these were Hogan calling on Godwin, and taking tea and supper with him. 24.8.1814 was the last time Hogan came to Godwin, after which Godwin wrote to him a few times, called on him once, and heard from him via others (mostly Charles Clairmont). While Hogan was coming regularly to Godwin's, Godwin only called on him a few times and wrote to him a few times. Near the start of their acquaintance Godwin invited him a few…

6.6.1795 Hogg at Lauderdale's (with Sir J Henderson, adv Moore)

Probably Thomas Hogg of Newliston, Lauriston who married Lauderdale's sister Mary-Julian on 9.3.1773. His father had been a merchant in London, and he was probably the Thomas Hogg who entered the Faculty of Advocates in Edinburgh in 1765 and voted in the minority with Sir John Henderson for Henry Erskine, the incumbent Dean, against the Lord Advocate Robert Dundas (nephew of Erskine's lifelong rival Henry Dundas) who became the next Dean of the Faculty of Advocates 20.1.1796

Sir harry Houghton 30.12.1788 / Hoghton 6.5.1789 at London Tavern / 13.2.1790 with Anti-Tests.

Appeared in Godwin's 1796 list as Hoghton, last name in 1788. Sir Harry Hoghton (1728-95) was MP for Preston (History of Parliament) and see Majendie, Lewis who married his daughter. Boyle's 1792 33 Upper Brook St. He supported dissenters. But consider also Pendlebury Ho(u)ghton 1758-1824 a prominent dissenter
