 Scarborough ; and afterwards advanced to the com- 

 mand of the regiment, on his brother declining to

 59th year, to go out as his substitute to Tangiers ; 

 where the worthy old knight died, not long after hig 

 arrival. Young's Hist, of Whitby. p. 839 et passim.

 to the period of his departure for Tangiers, in 1666 ; 

 but how long the family had previously resided 

 there, I have not been able to ascertain. 



The old mansion house has long since gone to 

 decay, and few memorials remain to indicate where 

 it once stood. Fragments of stone and mortar, as 

 well as other inequalities in the surface, induce me 

 to place its site on the north side of the old chapel, 

 which is still remaining; and in this supposition I 

 was further confirmed by th remains of an old or-
