The crest and coronet are those of Hampden, as borne by Thomas Trevor, afterwards Hampden, 2nd Viscount Hampden, born in 1746. His father, the 1st Viscount, assumed the name of Hampden in 1754 in compliance of the will of John Hampden, of Great Hampden, Buckinghamshire, whose estates he inherited. The 2nd Viscount succeeded to the title in 1783, having married in 1768, Catherine, only child of General David Graeme. A long-winded and spiteful account of the Viscount and his wife is to be found in The Female Jockey Club published in 1794, but the most serious charge against him is his having left the Whigs on the outbreak of the French Revolution, and against her that she was languid and insipid, and addicted to musical parties and card-playing. She died in 1804, and the 2nd Viscount married as his second wife the following year Jane Maria, daughter of George Brown. He died in 1824, leaving no issue, and the title passed to his brother.
