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)
