5.7.1794 B Sewel / 13.7.1796 dine at Sewel.
Bartholomew Sewell was baptised 5.7.1759 son of Robert & Sarah (nee Harmer), apprenticed in 1777 to Simon Wilkin grocer of Norwich, married 27.11.1781, at St George Colegate Norwich, Anna Lincoln, was a grocer, brandy merchant and hop merchant of Coslany Street Norwich in 1784, and subscribed to William Gordon's America in 1788. Star 4.4.1795 witness (see Firth 28.6.1794). He may be the Bartholomew Sewell who was buried at Walworth, Surrey 26.11.1813.
The "dine at Sewel" 13.7.1796 may refer to Samuel Sewell farmer of Wood Dalling whose daughter Sally was referred to in Godwin's mother's letter (Abinger c.8 f20). Several of his children by his wife Elizabeth were baptised by John Sykes at Guestwick between 1787 and 1792. I can find no place called Sewel or Sewell in Norfolk in those days, and the appearance of Copland, another local farmer (see Copland, John Dawson), fits with Godwin having left Norwich for Dalling that day, though he drove with Copland some way to Caston, he was back in Dalling that evening and stayed there a few days. But it could also be Richard Sewell who voted in 1802 as a farmer of Great Witchingham, so a near neighbour of Copland.
