George Hyde Clarke (1743-1824)
George Hyde Clarke, of Berkeley Square, London & Lancashire
Called "an execrable villain," his uncle referred to him as "my profligate nephew". Having run up gambling debts he fled to Europe to escape his creditors. He abandoned his first wife in favor of another with whom he ran off with to Jamaica. When he got bored of her, he paid a Frenchman to marry her, taking her off his hands. Returning to England, he kept a mistress before his death in London.
