Wikipedia Biographical Summary

"Thomas Howard, 16th Earl of Suffolk, 9th Earl of Berkshire (18 August 1776 – 4 December 1851), Viscount Andover, Baron Howard of Charleton, Colonel of the Wiltshire Militia and FSA, was a British peer and politician.

Suffolk was the second but eldest surviving son of General John Howard, 15th Earl of Suffolk, and Julia, daughter of John Gaskarth of Hutton Hall, Penrith, Cumberland. He gained the courtesy title Viscount Andover on the death of his elder brother, Charles Nevinson, who was killed by the accidental discharge of his fowling-piece in 1800.

Lord Suffolk married the Hon. Elizabeth Jane, daughter of James Dutton, 1st Baron Sherborne and Elizabeth Coke, in 1803. Elizabeth Jane was a double first cousin to Jane Elizabeth Coke, the former wife of Charles Nevinson, Viscount Andover, and thus the niece of agricultural reformer Thomas William Coke, 1st Earl of Leicester and his wife Jane Dutton.[4] She died in April 1836, aged 60. They had six children:

• Lady Elizabeth Howard (6 November 1803 – 20 July 1845), married her first cousin James Dutton, 3rd Baron Sherborne and had issue
• Charles Howard, 17th Earl of Suffolk (1804–1876)
• Captain Hon. Henry Thomas Howard (16 November 1808 – 29 January 1851)
• Jane Elizabeth Howard (25 July 1809 – 28 July 1861), married Sir John Ogilvy, 9th Baronet
• Hon. Richard Edward Howard (1812 – 27 February 1873), barrister
• Hon. James Kenneth Howard (5 Mar 1814 – 7 January 1882)

Lord Suffolk survived his wife by 15 years and died in December 1851, aged 75. He was succeeded by his eldest son, Charles."
