Elbert de Hochepied

[5] His maternal grandparents were Maria Engelbert and Justinus Colyer, the Dutch Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire from 1668 to 1782 (who was a half-brother to Sir Alexander Colyear, 1st Baronet).

His paternal grandparents were Geertruyd Spiegel and silk merchant Jan Baptista Bathiste de Hochepied, burgher of Amsterdam.

The title of Baron and Magnate was conferred on his father, with limitation to his issue, by letters patent of Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor, under the great seal of the Kingdom of Hungary, given at Vienna, at the 8th April 1704.

[10] On 15 November 1735, Hochepied was married to Anna Margaretha Boelema (1715–1756) at Haarlem.

The title reverted, under the limitation of the letters patent, to his first cousin, George Porter.
