HUISH, OF NOTTINGHAM.

Lineage.

In this family there is a tradition that its ancestor, having joined in Monmouth's rebellion, fled after the battle of Sedgmoor, and to escape the persecution of Judge Jefferys, quitted altogether his native place, Taunton, and settled at Leicester. The arms of Huish and Avenell have been borne quarterly by this family, and they possess a Bible of the date 1676, with the name of Elizabeth Huish, Taunton, Somersetshire, on the binding. These traditions, coupled with the coincidence of the rather uncommon christian name of Mark recurring with that of Robert at that precise period, afford the strongest grounds for believing them to be of the same race.

MARK HUISH, of St. James's, Taunton, whose will was proved in 1651, had issue, Robert and Mark, the latter baptized 14th November, 1630. Robert was father of Mark, baptized 18th June, 1654, and Robert, baptized in 1659.

Future enquiries may decide whether either of these was the Robert Huish, of Leicester, who follows,

ROBERT HUISH or HEWISH, as it is sometimes spelt in the registers of St. Martin's and St. Nicholas's, Leicester. He m. 30th April, 1693, in the latter parish, Sarah Cooke, and together with his wife, was alive in 1720. They had issue,

He appears from family records to have been, upon his intermarriage with the Carew family, a person of large possessions, but like many others at that memorable period, experienced the vicissitudes of fortune by embarking in the South Sea and other wild schemes, promoted by the government of the day. He was buried in the south cloisters of Westminster Abbey, in March, 1753, and his wife Dorothy in the same place some years previously. Of this marriage there was issue, a daughter, Ann,
