Hossick, Vanderlyn, Achard

names & addresses on flyleaf of Godwin's diary vol xv: Hossick, Vanderlyn painter, Jas. Achard 16 Bloomsbury-sq / 24.4.1809 Hossick calls

For the other names on the flyleaf see Graves, William; Davis/Davies after 1805; and Randolph, David Meade. I can find nothing to suggest who Hossick was except presumably a friend of Burr's.

James Achard was listed in directories at 8 Gt Ormond-st in 1802 and 1805, and in Land Tax lists 1806 to 1809 at Bloomsbury-sq, in a fairly substantial house rental £100.…


Housselaer

Housselaer 26.4.1795 at King's, 21.9.1795 there, 19.10.1795 adv at theatre, 9.11.1795 at King's, 3.12.1795 there

This was quite likely Godwin's mis-spelling of Haussoullier (sometimes spelt Haussoulier). See work notes below for similar names from the Low Countries, perhaps this was a French variant. At any rate Haussoulier was a very interesting character and a likely guest at John King's table. Notes & Queries Jan to June 1863 p 91 gave no sources but the facts check out well with records, saying he was a French Jew and fortune-hunter who married the wrong lady by mistake. The…
