First to identify geostationary orbit?

Does anyone have a citation for the idea of geo[or any other
primary]stationary orbit earlier than Tsiolkovsky? He gives the
altitude for GEO and its counterparts for the sun and several other
planets, in _Dreams of Earth and Sky_ in 1895, and in his notebooks
some years earlier.

I'm taking it for granted that anyone after Newton (Lagrange?
Laplace?) could have worked out that there'd be one circular,
equatorial orbit -- or more generally, a family of synchronous orbits
-- for any rotating primary. But so far, no astronomer or historian of
astronomy I've queried has come up with an earlier citation.

My working hypothesis is that if anyone did notice it earler, it would
have been dismissed as a trivial curiosity, since astronomy offered no
natural example of a synchronous orbit as it does of tide-locked
satellites... and by extension, that Tsiolkovsky was the first to call
attention to it because he was starting to think about artificial
satellites.
