marriage, by whom he has left two 

 sons and three daughters. His re- 

 mains were deposited, with ^reat 

 funeral solemnity, in the family- 

 Tault at Nocton. His numerous tc- 

 iiautry assembled on the occasion, 

 to pay their last tribute of gratitude 

 and aftettion to a nobleman who 

 posscs.sed many virtues, and who 

 had never, in the whole course of 

 his life, and amidst the most tiying 

 exigencies of the times, raised their 

 Tents, but always held out to the 

 last tiiat excellent maxim, " Let the 

 poor man live.'* He is succeeded 

 by his son, Robert lord Hobart, late 

 his majesty's principal secretary of 

 state for the department of the war 

 and colonies.

 many amiable qualities, sir Henry 

 Hnnloke,bart. fourth baronet of his 

 family. He married Miss Coke, 

 eldest daughter of VVenman Coke, 

 esq. of Longford, Derb} shire, by 

 •whom he has left a numerous family. 

 Sir Henry, the lirst baronet, testi- 

 fied his loyalty by lending to king 

 Charles L a considerable Sum of 

 money, in his most pressing neces- 

 sity, even at a time when there was 

 little probabilitj' of ever being re- 

 paid. But his support of the royal 

 cause stopped not here, for he, at 

 his own expense, levied and accou- 

 tred a troop of horse in the regiment 

 of col. Frechevilie (afterwards lord 

 Frecheville) whereof he himself was 

 lieut.-col. and this voung hero, not 

 then 22 years of age, at the battle 

 of Edge-hill, so signalised hinlsclf, 

 that king Charles knighted him in 

 the field of battle, and soon after- 



wards created him a baronet. Not- 

 long after, making an attempt upon 

 the enemy near Bcstwood-park, in 

 Nottinghamshire, in a skirmish 

 with some of the adverse party in 

 ambush, he received a cut of a sword 

 in his elbow, which so disabled his 

 right arm, that it hung useless in a 

 scarf to his dying day ; and for his 

 loyalty to his sovereign was fined 

 17481. by the sequestrators. The 

 late baronet is succeeded in his ti- 

 tles and estates by his eldest son sir

 the national convention passed the
