s of the County of Leicester"

It is in here because the Scropes of Bolton were also Lords of the Manor of Blaston and also had connections with Bowden Magna where Geoffrey Scrope (d.1380) was Rector.
The information accompanying two Pedigrees matches your information. However, under Emanuel Scrope, Lord Viscount Howe it says he died in Barbados in 1735 "leaving by his lady, Mary-Sophia-Charlotte, daughter of baron Kilmansegg, three sons; George-Augustus, Richard, and William; besides six daughters."
I notice you have a son Joseph.
Langar (Nottinghamshire), where Thomas Lord Scrope (d.1609) and Thomas Lord Scrope (d.1627) are buried is only about ten miles from where I live.
The Pedigree of Lords Scrope of Bolton, Lords of the Manor of Blaston, refers to Martha Jones, alias Sandford, as Emanuel Scrope's "concubine"
It refers to Anabella Scrope, alias Jones, alias Sandford as "filia bastarda"

Oh the contradictions of genealogical sources!
I was in the local library this morning and looked at Thorotons "Antiquities of Nottinghamshire"
and he records that Scrope Howe (d. Barbados 1735) and his wife Sophia Charlotte Kilmansegg had six sons
and four daughters
I found it interesting to read Thoroton because he was obviously a contemporary of Richard Howe. Referring to the sons of Scrope Howe and Sophia Charlotte he says:
"...one of which was George Augustus, the late Viscount, who was killed at the attack on Triconderago, July 5 1758; Richard, the present Viscount; and Sir William Howe, who commanded against the Americans in the late war, and to whom the honours of the family are likely to descend, the present Lord Howe having no male issue."
Thoroton goes on to say:
"The Right Honourable Richard Howe, Viscount Howe, Baron of Colonawley, also Viscount Howe of Langar, by birth, was lately created Earl Howe, by his present Majesty, and Vice-Admiral of England at the death of the brave Lord Rodney in 1792. He married Mary, daughter of Chiverton Hartopp Esq. of Leicestershire, by whom he had issue......."
Of course you already know this!

FamilySearch shows two wives named Agnes that married James Hoge son of William & Barbara; evidently two genealogies for the same person.
The first one, "Agnes Crawford (AFN: 4VFL-SV)" shows a son James married Elizabeth Howe, daughter of Joseph Howe, son of James Howe
(AFN:CVHB-GH), son of General Emanuel Scrope Howe
(AFN: 9G8N-N9) & Ruperta
(AFN: BEQJ-CW). In other words, it has the grandfather of Joseph Howe as General Emanuel Scroope Howe rather than his brother Scrope Howe, 1º Viscount Howe
. And his father as James rather than Emanuel Scrope Howe, 2º Viscount Howe
This would make Joseph Howe 1st cousin to Lord Howe and 2nd cousin to his sons George Augustus, Richard, & William, rather than son of Lord Howe and brother to his sons.
This Agnes shows sons Daniel (b. 1744), John (b. 1730) and James (b. 12 Jan 1742), the latter marrying Elizabeth Howe.
The other Agnes,"'Agnes (BVJK-04)", shows a birth of Abt 1720, and her first child when she was about the age of 10 as John Hoge (b. 1730). The children of this Agnes conform to The Family of Hoge
being Mary, John, and James (b. 1731). It shows Mary married to Robert Evans and their children, but no wives or children for John or James.
