Often referred to as the "Banking Hoare's" as they are the founding, and still controlling, family of the private Hoare's Bank in London. As a result, one of the more modern day "known" families; especially in the 1800's. Includes Hoare families in Middlesex, Surrey, Wilts and Essex. The main source of knowledge on the family, Sir Richard Colt Hoare, is from Stourhead (Manor) in Wilts; now a National Trust site. His earliest ancestor he could find is Henry Hoare of Walton d.1654. The bank published some updated trees in the early 1900's (see below).
Sir Richard includes the Risford Manor Hore's of Devon in the first four pages of his work but states he is not sure if they are linked or not. Like others, he notes the similar / same Coat of Arms used by both families. He suspects his EKA Henry may be the brother of William who sold the Risford Manor in 1630. The similar Coat of Arms used in documents is the same argument made by licensed genealogists researching Hezekiah Hoar's line to link Thomas Hore of Axminster to Robert Hore of Risford Manor; but was not accepted by the college of heraldry when presented with this evidence in the 1990's.
Sir Richard Colt Hoare became a historian of nearby Stonehenge and his surrounding areas around Stourhead; as well as Italy and other subjects. He published many books on these topics in his time.
