_Harris._--The Rev. William Harris, B.A., was presented, by Thomas Pindar,
Esq., to the vicarage of Luddington, Lincolnshire, on the 7th August, 1722.
Mr. Harris died here in June, 1748, aged eighty-two. On his tomb is
inscribed,--
"Illi satis licuit
Nunc veterum libris, nunc
Somno, et inertibus horis
Ducere solicitae jucunda oblivio vitae."
A tradition of his being a wizard still lingers in the village, and I
should be very glad to receive any particulars respecting him. From an
inspection of his will at Lincoln, it appears that he used the coat of the
ancient family of Harris of Radford, Devon, and that his wife's name was
Honora, a Christian name not infrequent about that period in families of
the West of England also, as, for instance, Honora, daughter of Sir Richard
Rogers of Bryanstone, who married Edward Lord Beauchamp, and had a daughter
Honora, who married Sir Ferdinand Sutton; Honora, the wife of Harry Conway,
Esq., of Bodrhyddan, Flint; Honora, daughter of Edward Fortescue of
Fallapit; besides others.
