Hatchett, Charles

21.3.1792 Hatchet at Holcroft's.

This is likely to have been Charles Hatchett 1765-1847 chemist and mineralogist who married Elizabeth daughter of John Collick a Westminster magistrate. Godwin met Collick at Shield's 27.11.1794, and Collick mentioned Shield, Crosdill and Clementi in his will (PCC 1807) and is mentioned as well as Crosdill in the will (PCC 1794) of Henry Waller (see 6.7.1792). Another possibility is that it was Horatio McGeorge, an eccentric actor known as Hatchet after one of his roles (Highfill, Burnim and Langhans)
