-tin oiWrine Hall^ in Chejhire, Efq. Sir Hugh married Jane, daughter of Sir A7- 

 cholas StrelleyyX>i Strelleyf'm the county oi Nottingham, Knt. ; by her he had a 

 fon named Henry, of whom I do not find any account. They were originally 

 of Rifeley, in Derbyjhire ; Sir Hugh is ftiled by Camhden, of Rifeley. Tlxroton 

 adds the fame title to an anceftor of the fame chriftian name, who died in 1491. 

 They changed their refidence to JVollaton, in Nottinghamjhire, the princely and 

 venerable feat of Lord Middleton, who acquired it by the marriage of his anceftor 

 ^\x Perceval Willoughby, with Brigitta, daughter and fole heirefs of Sir Francis 

 Willoughby, founder of that noble pile. The portrait of the celebrated Sir Hugh 

 is to be feen there ; a whole length, in very large breeches, according to the 

 fafliion of the times, in a room, hung with velvet, with a table covered with 

 velvet, and a rich carpet. From his meagre appearance, the fervant tells you, 

 that it reprefents the attitude, &c. in which he was found ftarved. This trivial 

 .account is all that is left of fo great a name.

 lake; it fwarms with fifh. In lat, 61. it receives the river Irtifche : at this 

 jundlion the Ob divides into two channels, and runs feparated for a long trait ; 

 unites again, and near Berefow, its ftream is broken by numbers of fmall ifles. 

 Near Obdorojkoe Ojlrog it takes an eaflern courfe, and difcharges itfelf into the 

 great bay of its own name. 



The Irtifche has alfo a moft extenfive courfe : it rifes in lat. 47. runs through 

 the great lake Saifan, takes a north-wefterly diretStion, and in lat. 58. 12. receives 

 another great river, the Toboi: and on the forks of thefe rivers, on the northern fide 

 of the Irtifche, ftands Tobolfki, the prefent capital of Sibiria.
