Hull, William

Submitted by edpope on

31.7.1795 general Hull at John Frank Newton's

There were no generals named Hull in the British forces at that time but the American general William Hull 1753-1825 (American National Biography) according to one report visited Europe about then. He lived at Newton, Massachusetts where he built a brewery in 1799 run by an English brewer, Newton the town may have had connections with John Frank Newton'sfamily. Another American general was at Newton's on 30.12.1795 (see Marshall, John)

Barrale, Miss

Submitted by edpope on

30.7.1795 miss Barrale at King's (possibly the same person as miss Bannal at King's 3.12.1795)

Judging by results on Ancestry website, the name Barrale was rare in England at that time, more common in France. But one strange anomaly is, there are quite a number of Barrale entries on Ancestry in the censuses of 1841, 1851 &c but absolutely none in the Death Registration Indexes.

Lang at miss Godwin's 23.7.1795

Because Hannah Godwin seems to have been friends with the Andersons (see Anderson, James) and particularly with his son George, I speculate that this Lang entry may have referred to Charles Laing 1771-1826 mentioned in George Anderson's will PCC 1817 as his partner.

Hamilton, Capt

Submitted by edpope on

17.7.1795 tea at Amelia Alderson's with John Walker & Capt Hamilton. adv  Dyer. Miss Alderson was perhaps staying with the Batty's but Godwin didn't mention them. An unmarried lady having four random gentlemen to tea was perhaps a bold and unusual event.
