SIR JOSEPH BANKS. 381 



obtained from the Government a salary for Mr. Bauer, 

 but if not, he charges it on his Lincolnshire estates. So 

 far the bequests. The directions were, that he should be 

 interred in the parish where he might happen to die; he 

 entreated his relatives to spare themselves the affliction 

 of attending the ceremony; and he earnestly requested 

 that they would not erect any monument to his memory. 

 He left his widow surviving; she was the daughter 

 and co-heiress of Mr. Hugessen, of Provender in Kent, 

 and had been married to him in 1779. His mother only 

 died in 1804, at a very advanced age; and his sister, 

 who always resided with him, died in 1818. He never 

 had any children ; and his large estates devolved upon 

 his wife's relations, the Knatchbull and Stanhope families, 

 the late Sir E. Knatchbull having married Lady Banks' 

 sister, and co-heiress with her ; and his property in Derby- 

 shire and Lincolnshire being left by his will to Colonel 

 Stanhope, brother of the present Earl, who was the grand- 

 son of his aunt, Margaret Eleanor Banks, by Henry 

 Grenville, brother of Earl Temple. Sir E. Knatchbull, 

 his nephew by marriage, was appointed executor of his 

 last will.
