BONNEY DIARY Bush 10.11.1794 / 14.11.1794

GODWIN DIARY Bush 22.11.1794 at Tooke's trial / 8.3.1804 call on Bush, Doctors' Commons / 22.3.1804 letter from Bush

The Bush visiting Bonney in the Tower of London and at Tooke's trial could have been Atkinson Bush will PCC 1811 spirit merchant or his son Michael Bush will PCC 1820 attorney who both joined the Society for Constitutional Information in 1791. Another son of Atkinson Bush, James Bush 1764-1830 will PCC 1830 was a proctor at Doctors Commons (one of the Procurators General of the Arches Court of Canterbury) and he was very likely the two Bush entries in 1804 and also possibly the Bush at Tooke's trial. Quite likely Godwin's call on Bush concerned in some way his enquiries about Thomas West (qv and see Godwin, Harriet / Joslyn / Goodyer / Craven)

James of Atkinson & Sarah born 9.5.1764 Deptford baptised 27.12.1802 Lydon, Rutland (since I can't find marriage of Atkinson & Sarah or baptism of Michael this suggests Atkinson Bush was a deliberate non-baptiser).  AB rum & brandy merchant of Gt Ormond St 1772, died there Feb 1811 in his 76th year, his will PCC 1811. 1775 voted in Surrey on freehold in Rotherhithe  Morning Post 3.9.1775 for attack on AB by Cassius (because Bush was a partisan of the American revolutionists, also involves H Tibbs (qv) of Standard Tavern, Leicester Sq).
