Varland 10.2.1795 at King's.

Varland was a character in Cumberland's play The West Indian. Since the actor John Quick was famous for this role and appeared again at King's on 31.3.1795, Wolcot being present both times, it is possible that Varland referred to him. The name was very rare in England though slightly commoner in France, Norway &c

Samuel & Mary Varland dau Elizabeth = James Harper before 1804

call on Mulready cum Varley 15.3.1805 / 13.4.1805 mrs Varley at Thos Hope's

John Varley DNB 1778-1842 married Esther Gisborne in 1803 (see Gisborne) and his friend and pupil William Mulready DNB 1786-1863 married Varley's sister Elizabeth also in 1803 (said to have been an unhappy marriage, but she was an artist herself). John Varley's brothers Cornelius & John Fleetwood, both in DNB, were as yet unmarried. Thomas Hope DNB 1769-1831 was an "enlightened patron of young and promising artists"

6.8.1807 call on Taylor (Vaughan) / 12.8.1807 Vaughan at S(kinner) S(treet)

The two Vaughan entries above probably referred to the same person. The previous use of Vaughan was 1798 and the next was in 1810. Godwin seems to have been arranging for someone to sleep at his Skinner-st shop, so on 7.8.1807 Hooley sleeps 4 nights in S S, on 11.8.1807 Godwin himself sleeps at S S, on 12.8.1807 Vaughan at S S, so this Vaughan was probably someone paid to sleep there, possibly an apprentice or employee of Richard Taylor's.
