Newman Knowlys DNB 1758-1836


Knox

Dr Knox 9.11.1791 at Bosse's / Knox 13.1.1802 at Wycombe's / 6.9.1821 Knox dies / 27.6.1828 call on Dr Knox

The 1791 and 1821 entries above have been coded on the GD website to Vicesimus Knox DNB 1752-1821, correctly in my view. The 1802 entry (which is uncoded in GD website) may have been him also but no special reason to think so. Of the Knox entries in the Dictionary of Irish Biography the one with the most radical sympathies was George Knox 1765-1827, the others were stong government supporters.

Krimee

M(arshall) dines; agreement for Krimee 26.3.1802

See Bodleian Abinger c7 f95 and c7 f101, letters from Thomas Holcroft in Europe to Godwin. Holcroft sent Voyage dans le Crimee to give Marshall a book worth translating, it had already been translated from Russian to German to French, and was published by Robinson in 1802 as Travels in the Crimea, by a secretary to the Russian embassy. It had to compete with two other travel books on the Crimea issued in England in 1802

Kyan

Kyan 16.8.1800 on post coach Chirk to Shrewsbury

Perhaps John Howard Kyan DNB 1774-1850, his father John Howard Kyan of Mount Howard, Ballymutagh, co. Wicklow who died 1804, or Esmonde Kyan DNB 1750-1798. Not everyone Godwin met accidentally got into the DNB but a remarkable number did and Kyan is not a very common name even in Ireland
