10.2.1795 at King's / 27.3.1795 at Geralds (with King) / 1.4.1795 Godwin meets him before dining at King's. In Godwin's 1796 list for 1795, inserted above with King's other guests G Rogers, Anderson & Davis.

I found a Henry Kaines butcher of Dukes Shore, Limehouse, will PCC 1801, and a Thomas Kaines of St Marylebone buried 24.10.1827 age 65 at Countess of Huntingdon's Chapel, Spa Fields but no good reason it should be either of them except that the name is rare.

19.4.1802 write to Geo King / 20.4.1802 again

Abinger c7 f115-20 has George King's letter to Godwin of 17.4.1802 from Liverpool and his two further letters of 21.4.1802 and 22.4.1802. He was clearly a son of John King DNB c1753-1824, perhaps by a Scotch woman (Mary Barbara Mackay?), and claimed to have had no education but reading and writing and to have spent 9 months in a school in Yorkshire where the pupils were put to farm work.
