Godwin records her death.

We have assumed that her death is the only reference. There are four more refs to plain Seward: 19 May 1793, 23 January 1798, 13 October 1820 and 16 October 1820.

The 1820 entries post-date her death. Of the others, the first is at Tooke's and the second at Johnson's, but as there is no 'Mrs'/'A' or other supporting evidence, we have left these uncoded. Godwin does include Seward in the 1796 under 1793, which might make the identification more plausible, but she was known to be sceptical about the French revolution and there is no reason to link her to radical circles.
