Legacy
Coleraine bequeathed, with certain reservations; his drawings and prints of antiquities and buildings in Great Britain to the Society of Antiquaries; but the codicil being declared void, and the society not caring for a chancery suit for their recovery, Rose Duplessis (see below), at the persuasion of Coleraine's friend Henry Baker, presented them to the society, and afterwards a portrait of Coleraine when young by Richardson, with other minor bequests.[2]
His library was purchased in 1754 by Thomas Osborne, the bookseller, who took many private papers and deeds lodged in presses behind the bookcases. Among them was the second Lord Coleraine's manuscript history of Tottenham. The pictures and antiques were sold by auction on 13 and 14 March 1754.[2]
Family
Coleraine married, 20 January 1718, Anne, eldest daughter of
Coleraine, finding a reconciliation impossible, formed on 29 April 1740 a "solemn engagement" with Rose Duplessis (1710–1790), daughter of François Duplessis, a French clergyman, by whom he had a daughter, Henrietta Rosa Peregrina, born at Crema, Lombardy in Italy 12 September 1745. Having had no issue by his wife, Coleraine bequeathed his Tottenham estates to this illegitimate daughter; but she being an alien they escheated to the crown. A grant of them was later obtained for James Townsend, whom she married on 2 May 1763.[2]
Lady Coleraine survived until 10 January 1754, and asked to be buried at Bray, Berkshire. Gabriel, third son of her uncle Sir George Hanger, was, in 1762, created Baron Coleraine.[2]
