Henry Hope (Quebec lieutenant governor)
Henry Hope( c. 1746 – 13 April 1789) was a soldier and a colonial administrator in the Province of Quebec( 1763 – 1791).
Genealogy references sometimes call him Henry Hope- Vere, but he does not appear to have been called this by his contemporaries.
He was most likely born in Scotland, the son of Charles Hope- Weir( or Hope- Vere) by his second wife Lady Anne Vane, and the grandson of Charles Hope, 1st Earl of Hopetoun.
He served in the 27th Foot Regiment and fought for the British in the American Revolutionary War, where he transferred to the 44th Foot soon after arriving.
He was soon promoted to major; in January 1778 to lieutenant- colonel; in 1782 to colonel; in 1784 to brigadier- general.
He was a lieutenant governor of the Province of Quebec from 1785 to 1788 during the second term of Guy Carleton( Lord Dorchester) as governor.
In those days, the" lieutenant governor" simply was the deputy of the governor; there is no connection to the modern-day Lieutenant Governor of Quebec.
The town of Port Hope, Ontario derives its name from him, as do the township municipality of Hope, Quebec and the municipality of Hope Town, Quebec.
Through his brother Charles, he was the uncle of his namesake Henry Hope, a Royal Navy officer.
He has a monument in the North Transept of Westminster Abbey, by the sculptor John Bacon.
He married Sarah Jones of Mullaghbrack; there were no children.
The fact that he predeceased his father gave rise to the case" Graham against Hope" in the Court of Session of Scotland, over the question of whether his widow's sister's daughter was entitled to the legacy bequeathed by his father.

Charles Hope-Weir
The Hon.
Charles Hope-Weir (or Hope-Vere) (8 May 1710 – 30 December 1791) was a Scottish politician.
Born The Hon.
Charles Hope, he was the second son of Charles Hope, 1st Earl of Hopetoun and Lady Henrietta Johnstone, daughter of William Johnstone, 1st Marquess of Annandale.
In 1730 he inherited the Craigiehall estate, in the parish of Dalmeny, West Lothian, from his uncle, the 2nd Marquess of Annandale.
He adopted the name Hope-Weir, and the arms of the Weir family, on his marriage in 1733 to Catherine Weir, daughter and heiress of the Weir Baronets of Blackwood, Lanarkshire.
The family name was later changed to Hope-Vere.
On 13 May 1743 he was elected Member of Parliament (MP) for Linlithgowshire, a seat he held until 1769, when he stepped down.
He was appointed Governor of Blackness Castle in 1744.

In 1754, with the encouragement of his uncle, the Marquess of Annandale, and his brother, the Earl of Hopetoun, Hope-Weir set off for Italy on the grand tour.
His son William was already in Italy with his tutor.
At his brother's suggestion, Hope-Weir took with him the young architect Robert Adam, who had been advising Lord Hope on the decoration of Hopetoun House.
The pair met up in Brussels in November 1754, and travelled through France and Italy together, on the typical grand tour route, taking in Lyon, Marseilles, Nice and Genoa.
They met William at Pisa, and arrived in Rome in February 1755.
They then fell out over travelling expenses, and over the Casa Guarnieri, a house which they both hoped to rent.
Although they remained civil whenever they met, Adam wrote in a letter that Hope was a "poor, vain, affected, childish coxcomb".
After Easter, Hope-Weir went on to Naples, taking with him the minor Scottish painter and art dealer Colin Morison (1732–1810) in Adam's place.
He returned home in late 1755 with his son, travelling via Frankfurt due to the political situation in France, and arriving in Britain in May 1756.
On his return he set about improving his estate at Craigiehall, building a grotto, bridge and temple, all to designs by the Adam Brothers (James Adam, John Adam, and Robert Adam).
The bridge is carved with Hope-Weir's initials and the date 1757, as well as a quote from Horace, "UTILI DULCIthe useful with the sweet".
The bath house is now ruined, and the temple, at the top of Lennie Hill, was truncated in the 1970s due to its proximity to Edinburgh Airport.
