Stafford 8.6.1800 at John King's

MacMahon 2.6.1800 at Mary Robinson's / 14.9.1805 McMahon at Curran's

Probably John Macmahon DNB 1754-1817 at about this time became public relations man to the Prince of Wales, whose former mistress was Mary Robinson

meet Sarah Elwes & mrs Ketting 31.5.1800 / 26.3.1800 mrs Ketting at Sarah Elwes'

Perhaps a Dutch name

Massygar 25.5.1800

Nearest name I can find to this entry was the Swiss name Massuger (with umlaut on u). Jacob Massuger died 3.9.1821 at Antwerp Belgium was born 1787 Vallendas Suisse s of Benoit Massuger & Menga Pfester

col Thornton 25.5.1800 at John King's

Probably Thomas Thornton DNB 1757-1823, generally called Col Thornton in newspapers, fond of horses, gambling and often involved in disputes, Mentioned several times in Joseph Farington's diary. A likely guest at King's

mrs Aikin 24.5.1800 at Barbauld's

Probably Martha nee Jennings c1746-1830 who married John Aikin DNB 1747-1822, the brother of Mrs Barbauld (their mother was also a Jennings). None of Aikin's three sons were married by 1800 and he had no brothers.

21.11.1795 O at King's / 17,5.1800 dine at Milton Gallery with Opie; sup at Hoare's with O

John Opie DNB1761-1807 must surely have been the O at Hoare's in 1800 but GD website has it underlined. By the same token the Reynolds who supped at Hoare's was probably Samuel William the engraver rather than Frederick as the GD website has coded it. Read the whole entry for that day if you don't follow me. The O at King's 21.11.1795 was possibly also Opie who was there on 3.12.1795

(Beechey) 17.5.1800 at Milton Gallery

Presumably referred to William Beechey DNB 1753-1839, but unidentified in GD website. The brackets perhaps implied the person was only talked about or seen at a distance

Covered by event tag in GD website but underlined as if unidentified. Godwin added news events in red ink
