Hello,

Professor Samuel Hawley should have an answer but in case he misses your
post,
here are some names;

Seoul
1. Mrs. Foote
2. Minister Foote's personal secretary(young male) - lived at the Legation
3. U.S. Navy Lt. Bernard, Smithsonian(museum) attache - lived at the
Legation

Busan
1. Mr. Joey, Smithonian Attache
2. a couple Westerners (British?) working for the Korean Customs Service.

According to U.S. Navy Lt. George Foulk(He arrived in Korea May 31, 1884),
Lowell had a Korean woman and had a boy between them.
