The will PCC 1812 of Henry Newnum of Dorking Surrey dated 7.7.1812 mentioned his brother-in-law Rowland Hunter of St Paul's Church Yard bookseller, (one of Joseph Johnson's heirs) but no wife, so she had probably died before him. Not found Henry Newnum's marriage but Hester dau of Henry and Hester Newnum was baptised 14.12.1787 at Dorking and their son Henry was baptised 2.4.1796 there, Lloyd's Evening Post 13.10.1800 Mrs Newnum died at Dorking. Rowland Hunter married 3.7.1802 at St Gregory by St Pauls Ann Bellworth widow of St James' Piccadilly who as Ann Kent widow had married John Bellworth widower in 1799 at St Geo Han Sq. Henry Newnum married Elizabeth Hunter 20.3.1820 at Liverpool (where the Hunters and the Johnsons came from - Rowland's grandfather Rowland Hunter had married Joseph Johnson's sister Sarah at Walton on the Hill, Lancs on 24.8.1752). Henry Newnum had been articled clerk to Henry Newnum attorney of Dorking in 1764, and had voted Mawbey in Surrey 1775. The first two entries above were probably spelt Newnham in error, but the two later mrs Newnham's at King's were very probably another person. The J Johnson in 1811 must have been Joseph Johnson's nephew as Johnson died 20.12.1809, and was perhaps too ill to see Godwin on 4.10.1809, or else at his house at St Pauls where he died.
