Hazlitt was a writer with a dissenting background. Reference to the Hazlitt family first appears in the diary in 1794, when Godwin had tea with the 'Hazlitts' - referring to William and his older brother John. In 1794 and 1795 William is taken as being included in references to the 'Hazlits', but not when it is singular - these refer to his painter brother John. It is not likely that they refer to their father, John, who was settled in Shropshire at this stage. There are no references to members of the family in 1796 or 1798, but it is known that in 1797 the essayist was calling on Godwin himself, as he left the only known eyewitness account of Godwin and Wollstonecraft together. So, in 1797, and from 1799 onwards, 'Hazlit' is taken as referring to William, now the primary contact.
Hazlitt and Godwin were very close for a number of years until Hazlitt published a disparaging essay about his dull conversation in The Plain Speaker (1826) which caused a breach.
Godwin recorded his death.
