Subsequently the same crest and coronet was used by the descendant earls, amongst whom is George King (1771-1839) 3rd Earl of Kingston.

The Marquis of Waterford, a Victorian silver coaching horn, in presentation case, London 1838, William Fitchew, the horn engraved, 'The Marquis of Waterford to his GUARD, J.L.W.' and with double crest, the stem of the engine-turned horn also engraved with a spiralling band of coaching scenes within oak leaves, the largest of the coaches with a coat-of-arms on the door and a coachman blowing his horn on top, the presentation case with a silver plaque engraved with the names 'J.L. Wellesley' above a double crest and '12th Royal Lancers.', case dimensions 71.3x10.9x9.8cm, length (of horn) 65.12cm, weight (sans case) 222g/7.13ozt approx Note: The 3rd Marquis of Waterford (1811-1859), well known for his love of sport and his 'gentlemanly larks', his participation in the riot in Melton Mowbray, when a number of doors and a pub sign were daubed with red paint, and his duel with Lord George Loftus - when each exchanged shots without injuring the other- was also a keen participant in the Eglintoun Tournament as the Knight of the Dragon. It may be that this horn relates to the fashionable processing which formed part of this tournament in Ayrshire and at practice jousting sessions in St. John's Wood prior to the tournament. The Honourable James Long Wellesley (1815-1851), whose father became the 4th Earl of Mornington, was brought up under the guardianship of the Duke of Wellington after his mother died. Wellesley, educated at Eton, joined the 12th Royal Lancers as a cornet in 1833, leaving as a Lieutenant in 1841. The Richmond Driving Club was founded in May 1838, reviving the earlier ‘Four-in-Hand Club’, with the Earl of Chesterfield as president. Its aristocratic members included the Earl of Chesterfield, Marquis of Waterford, Earls of Waldegrave, Sefton, and Rosslyn, Count Batthyany, Viscount Powerscourt, Lords Alford, Alfred Paget, and Macdonald, the Hon. Horace Pitt, Sir Edward Smythe, Mr. A. W. Hervey Aston, Mr. T. Bernard, Colonel Copeland, Mr. George Payne, Mr. Lewis Ricardo, and Mr. H. Villebois, Jr. Each drove elaborately colored coaches with teams of bays, greys, or mixed horses. John Warde, though not listed, was also a member and once drove himself at age 84.The club met at Chesterfield House in Westminster and drove to George Topham’s Royal Hotel in Richmond for dining and toasts. Members were expected to “drive like coachmen but dress like gentlemen.” As reported by The Morning Post on June 4, Chesterfield was called the “Chief,” and Saturday meetings were planned during the season. Members could bring three guests—Chesterfield, as many as he liked.Artist James Pollard painted the club’s procession through Hyde Park; it was engraved by J. Harris and published in December 1838 by Ackermann & Co., with a copy held by the British Museum (accession no. 1880,1113.1894).

Baltic 1854-55 (Honble. Frederick Amherst H.M.S. Royal George.) contemporary engraved naming, fitted with Hunt & Roskell silver ribbon buckle, slack suspension, contact pitting overall and attempted scratching to remove naming £260-£300 --- The Honourable Frederick Arthur Amherst was born at Montreal, Sevenoaks, Kent, on 6 December 1838, second son of the 2nd Earl Amherst. He joined the Royal Navy as a Naval Cadet in August 1851, and was appointed to the Rattler the following month and to the Rodney 9 days later. After further service aboard Bellerophon (1851-53), Waterloo (March-August 1853), and London, now a Midshipman (August 1853-March 1854), he joined the Royal George in May 1854 in the Baltic and served in her throughout the Baltic campaign of 1854-55. He left the Royal George in June 1855 and appears to have resigned from the Navy shortly afterwards. In May 1858, Frederick Amherst was appointed Cornet, without purchase, in the 14th Light Dragoons, and joined the regiment in India but seemingly too late to qualify for the Indian Mutiny medal. The regiment returned to the United Kingdom in June 1860, and Amherst purchased a Lieutenancy on 13 October 1862. He was gazetted Captain, by purchase, on 30 December 1864, and, on 7 June 1865, he was presented by Lord Sydney to the Prince of Wales at the Levée held at St James’s Palace. He was appointed Baggage Master to the Cavalry Brigade of the 1st Division during the manoeuvres held at Aldershot during the summers of 1874 and 1875, and later in the latter year, the regiment received orders to prepare for embarkation for India. Probably not wanting to return to India, Amherst retired from the service, by the sale of his commission, on 17 December 1875. He was commissioned a Lieutenant in the West Kent Yeomanry on 26 February 1875, and resigned that appointment on 16 February 1881. He died unmarried at the family home, Montreal, Sevenoaks, on 15 March 1895.

He was dismissed by General Court Martial on 18 March 1848, but was reinstated as Captain on 16 November 1853, and retired the same date. Following his dismissal from the Service he was appointed in 1848 an Assistant in the Accountant General’s office at Calcutta. During the Crimean war he was appointed a Local Major in the Turkish Contingent and was awarded the 4th Class of the Medjidie (London Gazette 5 March 1853). Major Plowden died in England on 27 June 1865, aged 47.
