In Memory of Sr. Thos. Hare, Bart, who
departed this Life the 1st day of January, 1693, aged
35 years, and left a lady and 4 Sons and 5 Daughters.
The Glorious Sun which sets at Night,
Appears Next Morn as clear and bright;
The Gaudy Deckings of the Earth,
Do every Spring receive new Birth;
But Life when fled has no return,
In Vain we sigh, in Vain we Mourn;

Yet does the Turtle justly grieve her fate,
When she is left behind without her Mate,
Not less does she who raised this Tomb,
And wishes here to have a Room;

With that dear He who underneath does lye, Who was the Treasure of her Heart and pleasure of her Eye.

he was implicated in the general rising then concerted against the government of Cromwell: the seizure of Shrewsbury was that branch of the enterprize for which he undertook, but it was frustrated by the indiscretion of one of those engaged, Ralph Kynaston, of Maesbrook. "This gentleman," says Blakeway, "publickly enlisted troopers on the 7th March, 1655, and the forces were to have been mustered in Boreatton Park, on the 9th at night: however, on the morning of that day, the governor of Shrewsbury, Humphrey Muckworth, receiving intelligence of the design, instantly impressed the best horses, in the town, marched to Boreatton, and seized the insurgents, with their ammunition, which consisted in part of bullets made from the lead on the roof of that mansion. It is difficult to say how Sir Thomas escaped with his life, but he survived to the Restoration." Sir Thomas m.

HARRIS, OF HAYNE.

Lineage.

1. THOMAS HARRIS, esq. of Boreatton, in Shropshire, master in Chancery, son of Roger Harris, draper, of Shrewsbury, and grandson of William Harris, yeoman, of Wheathill, in the parish of Condover, was created a BARONET in 1622: an elevation which rather shocked the feelings of the age, for, at its first institution the baronetcy was confined to men of descent, and Captain Simon Leeke impleaded Sir Thomas Harris in the court of Chivalry, as unworthy of the distinction. Nevertheless he transmitted the honour to his son and heir,

II. SIR PAUL HARRIS, of Boreatton, who succeeded his father in 1629, and served the office of sheriff of Shropshire in 1637. At the breaking out of the civil war, he remained firm in his allegiance, and was an active commissioner of array. "He sent out warrants," says Gough, "requiring and commanding all men, both householders with their sons and servants, and sojourners and others, within the hundred of Pimhill, that were between the age of sixteen and sixty, to appear, on a certain day, upon Myddle Hill. I was then about eight or nine years old, and went to see this great show; and there I saw a multitude of men; and upon the highest bank of the hill I saw one Robert More standing, with a paper in his hand, and three or four soldiers' pikes stuck upright in the ground by him, and there he made proclamation, that if any person would serve the king as a soldier in the wars, he should have fourteen groats a week for his pay. Sir Paul was a person," adds our rustic historian," not well beloved by the ancient gentry of the county, for, being as they termed him, but a buck of the second head; yet being a baronet, and a proud, imperious person, he took place of those of ancient knight's degree: neither was he beloved by the common people." He died in 1644, and was s. by his son,

III. SIR THOMAS HARRIS, of Boreatton, who also devoted himself to the royal cause, and compounded for his estate in the sum of £1542. In the year 1655

JOHN HARRIS, a younger son of the Harrises of Radford, was father (by his wife, the heiress of Stone, af Stone) of

WILLIAM HARRIS, who wedded Thomasine, daughter and heiress of Walter Hayne, of Hayne, and was s. by his son,

JOHN HARRIS, esq. of Stone, a lawyer of high repatation, who was chosen in 1535, autumnal reader of Lincoln's Inn, and called in 1540, to the degree of ser jeant-at-law. He was subsequently a King's serjeant and recorder of the city of Exeter. "The emenency," says Prince, in his Worthies of Devon," of this great lawyer in his profession, we may infer from that considerable estate he acquired, and left to his family. For to his own fair inheritance he added, the hun dred, manor, and advowson of Lifton, near adjoining to Hayne, which he purchased from the Lord Nevil, Earl of Westmoreland."
