Johnson senr 14.8.1798 at Joseph Johnson's

Joseph Johnson's father was long dead so this was probably his older brother John, who according to A Liberal Publisher was a brewer of Everton who died in 1800. Directories also showed his address as Dale St Liverpool. No PCC will (John Johnson of Warrington PCC 1802 was not him) but probably PCYork will which I access less often

Fontana 14.8.1798 at Joseph Johnson's

Perhaps Gregorio Fontana 1735-1803 colleague of Volta's at Pavia, wrote to Sir Joseph Banks 1787, or Felice Fontana 1730-1805 Florentine scientist. I could find no reference to either of them visiting England at this time in the Italian Biographical Dictionary though I don't read Italian very well

Ashburnham

Submitted by edpope on

Ashburnham 29.7.1798 at Horne Tooke's / 11.3.1824 write to E of Ashburnham

John Ashburnham 2nd Earl of Ashburnham died 1812. This was perhaps his son George Ashburnham, 3rd Earl who died 1830, as Godwin was more likely to have written to someone he had once met. See his son George 1785-1813 Hist of Parl & Farington diary
