Tysoe Hancock

Painting by Joshua Reynolds in the Gemäldegalerie Berlin showing Hancock, Indian maid Clarinda, daughter Elizabeth and wife Philadelphia, 1765

Tysoe Saul Hancock (December 1723 – 5 November 1775) was an English surgeon who served the English East India Company in the Madras Presidency. His daughter Eliza (later Eliza de Feuillide, still later Eliza Austen) was referred to as the "exotic cousin" by Jane Austen. A painting depicting him with family, made by Joshua Reynolds had also been the subject of debate. He was also a close associate of Warren Hastings.
