John Minter Morgan was a founder of the London Co-operative Society and an anti-Malthusian who was interested in ideas of communitarian endeavour. He was the son of John Morgan, stationer, who may also appear in the diary, although he died in 1807 and the first reference to Morgan (stationer) is in 1809. There are only three references to Morgan stationer (1809, 1820 and 1822). This suggests that Godwin is distinguishing this Morgan from others - but it is difficult to be confident that he does so wholly rigorously.

J M Morgan (one entry in 1828) and instances of Morgan, stationer have been coded as John Minter. Morgan seems to have sustained his connection with the Stationary buisiness that he inherited from his father (along with a huge fortune), despite devoting most of his energies to proselytising on behalf of Owenism. In the British Book Trades Index there are several entries for Morgan, stationer, but they all seem to relate to the same family, with the exception of a G M Morgan, who is recorded as bankrupt in 1822.
