Godwin Diary

Jacobs 4.1.1795 at Tooke's.

This could have been a singular surname or a plural of Jacob. It may have been William Godwin's friends the brothers John & Joseph Jacob. No particular reason to suppose they went to Tooke's dinners

Thomas Wardle of 9 Trump St, Cheapside proposed Society for Constitutional Information 23.11.1792 by George Williams 2nded John Horne Tooke

mrs Spence 2.1.1795 at Dyer's.

Sarah Spence of Bury St Edmunds whose poems were published 1796, subscribers included George Dyer, miss Chennill of Hatton Street (see Chennels, Lydia Frances) and miss Cristall. The book mentioned miss Harriot and master George Spence, children of Mr Spence by a former wife. She seems (from the content of the poems) to have had a son by him who died young.
