Kingden

19.12.1801 meet, at Fenwick's, Kingden, &c, £75

The surname spelt Kingden is virtually nonexistent, so this was probably Kingdon, common in Devon particularly, or Kingdom, less common. The only other amounts of money noted in Godwin's diary around this time were 4.9.1801 £30 to Ht (=Holcroft) and 11.12.1801 £262 (which had Ht beneath it in very small letters). Thomas Holcroft's letters to Godwin show that Godwin and James Marshall were looking after his financial affairs in London while he was in Europe. In his letter from Paris dated 1.1.1802 (Bodleian Abinger c7 f80-1) he thanked Godwin for sending him £266.6s. On 2.2.1802 (Abinger c7 f89-90) he wrote "Fenwick, I hear, is to make his fortune by his Journal". See work notes below for possible Kingdons
