I have not been able to find the advertisement I mentioned although I'm sure
it's the one Tom Apple references from 1807.
As to the mention of the Yorkshire Widow, it is copied below:
From The Norfolk Herald of March 6, 1801 comes the following:
>
> NOTICE
> Is hereby given, that I Bennet Conklian,
> Being intoxicated with liquor, was
> Seduced into the house of Mrs. Griffin,
> Commonly called the Yorkshire Widow,
> Was artfully drawn to give a note of hand
> To the said Widow, which I refuse to pay
> As never having any value for said note.
> Bennet Conklin
> Norfolk, March, 5, 1801
>
> The Simmon's Directory of Norfolk for 1801 lists a Jane Griffin running a
boarding house at 16 Commerce Street. She is not listed in the 1806
Directory.
