mrs Pagan 14.7.1802 adv at dinner (J Napier dining)
I've noticed that those who "adv" at dinners in Godwin's diary were often connections of the invited guests. I'd be interested to hear of any contemporary references to this phenomenon. In the above case that would suggest that mrs Pagan was a Yeovil connection of Mary Jane Godwin's, like the Napiers, but I found no-one called Pagan from that area, Scotland being the usual origin of the surname.
