BART, Sir Edward O Hoare

From the Catalogue of the National Archives, at Kew: Series PRO 30/70 - Sir Edward O\'Bryen Hoare, 7th Baronet: Collection of Papers relating to 1st Earl of Chatham and his son, William Pitt:

"Donated by Timothy Edward Charles Hoare, 8th Baronet Hoare, in 1973:

"The Chatham and Pitt papers listed here must have originally formed part of the collection in PRO 30/8, but remained in the possession of the Taylor family, William Stanhope Taylor, also a great-nephew of John, Earl of Chatham, being the other executor. They then passed to Sir Edward Hoare who inherited them through his mother, a direct descendant of W. S. Taylor and, therefore, of the elder Pitt.
As well as the correspondence of the elder and younger Pitts, Sir Edward Hoare\'s papers (formerly part of PRO 30/8 ) include some of John, 2nd Earl of Chatham, and also correspondence, etc. of the Taylor family. The papers as a whole consist of official, semi-official, estate, personal and family correspondence, etc. As might be expected, much of the Chatham/Pitt correspondence consists of solicitations for appointments, promotions and preferments, but the papers also cover a wide variety of other subjects"
