James Saxon DNB 1772-1819+ was certainly the later two of the above entries as he painted a portrait of Sir Richard Philips in 1806.

He had married Ann Bolton at Manchester Cathedral 12.6.1791 and had fathered four children by 1797. This leaves open whether he was in London in 1800 but he would have been a likely…

11.3.1791 Scott MD at Miss Williams'. The only London MD named Scott at this time seems to have been Dr Charles Scot of 67 Queen Anne St East who died March 1794 (newspapers) age 35 son of late Dr John Scot of 30 Titchfield St. (Boyles 1792 Court Guide also lists a Dr Scott at 22 St Alban St)

These four entries have been coded on GD website to a generic Scott person record but with no attempt to guess who they were. Up to 1807 Godwin often noted Thomas Hobbes Scott and his family, either as Scotts at Tooke's, or distinguished from each other by an initial. After 1807 there were no Scotts in the diary for some years till he met Sir Walter Scott in 1816. The four entries above could…
