  • Birth Date: 1744

Godwin only meets Desenfans once, at what looks to be a visit to his dealership, which was at Charlotte Strreet, Portland Place. He also met there Desenfans informally 'adopted' son, Peter Francis Bourgeois (1756–1811), who had been abandoned by his father, a Swiss watchmaker. Although Godwin met Desanfans only once, he saw Bourgeois on twelve occasions.
