Life edit
He was the only son of Sir Richard Colt Hoare, 2nd Baronet and his wife Hester Lyttelton (1762–1785), daughter of William Henry Lyttelton, born 17 September 1784.[2][3][1] He matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford in 1803.[4]
An unambitious pleasure-seeker, Hoare married in 1808. In 1811 he suffered a breakdown, and his father took against his wife Charlotte, leading to a family rupture. He separated from Charlotte, and was heavily in debt.[2][3]
Hoare was a member of Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) and made known appearances in three high-level matches from 1823 to 1824. He died 18 September 1836 at Hastings, Sussex.[1]

Hoare married on 20 February 1808 Charlotte Dering, daughter of Sir Edward Dering, 7th Baronet. They had a daughter Ann(e) (1808–1872), who married in 1835 Sir George Benvenuto Buckley Mathew.[2][3]
