John Scott-Waring

The second son, Richard, rose to the rank of lieutenant-colonel, and served under Sir Eyre Coote against Hyder Ali Khan.

[1] John, the eldest son, entered the service of the East India Company about 1766, and became a major in the Bengal division of its forces.

[1] The charges against Warren Hastings might have been allowed to drop, but Scott reminded Edmund Burke on the first day of the session of 1786 of the notice which he had given before the preceding recess of bringing them before parliament.

A year or two later he bought Peterborough House at Parson's Green, Fulham, and gathered around him varied company: royal princes, politicians, wits, and actresses.

[1] It contributed to a long-running debate on the religious toleration policy of the East India Company, in the face of missionary efforts.

[3] When John Weyland wrote an open letter to Sir Hugh Inglis in 1811, Scott-Waring replied to it.

[4] A Vindication of the Hindoos from the expressions of Dr. Claudius Buchanan, in two parts by "a Bengal Officer" (1808), was attributed to Scott-Waring (DNB first edition).
