Harris, of Turvile, in Bucks; 4. Philip, who died unmarried; 5. Percy-John, died young; 6. Robert, captain of the WestKent militia; 7. Algernoun-Bysshe, died young. This family is of high antiquity in the county of Sussex, and is descended by the female from William the Conqueror. Sir Bysshe was the son of Timothy, son of John, son of Timothy, son of John, son of Richard, third son of Henry Shelley, of Worminghurst, in Sussex, esq.; whose father was ancestor of the families of Shelley, of Michel - grove, baronets; and of the Shelleys, of Lewes, both in Sussex. Jan. 12. At her house on Claphamcommon, after a short illness, in her 76th year, Anna-Maria, widow of Thos. Astle, esq. late Keeper of the Records in the Tower of London, and daughter of the Rev. Philip Morant, the learned Historiau of Essex. Few people have passed through life more generally respected and esteemed, as the numerous and lasting friendships which she enjoyed amply testify. Her conduct in her own family was so unexceptionable on all occasions, that the only contest seemed to be, who should serve her best and love her most: she may be truly said never to have caused a tear to any of them, till they were deprived of her society. Jan. 14. At Lezant, near Launceston, in Cornwall, Rev. Charles Mayson, D.D. rector of Lezant, and formerly fellow of Wadham college, Oxford. His clear and vigorous understanding, his inflexible integrity, and his ardent desire to promote the public good, rendered him an able and active magistrate. As a' neighbour, he was kind and hospitable; as a friend, o Day of zealous and constant; as a Christian minister, pious and diligent, without enthusiasm or ostentation. In upholding the welfare of the Church and State, he shrunk from no difficulty, and sought no concealment. The opinions which he conscientiously held, he fearlessly avowed and strenuously maintained, leaving an example most worthy of imitation in these days of affected candour and spurious liberality. Vol. LXXXIV. Part ii. p. 507. Arthur Phillip (not Phillips), vice-admiral of the red, was the son of Jacob Phillip, a native of Francfort, who settled in England, and maintained his family by teaching languages. His mother was an Englishwoman. He was born in London, October 11, 1738, entered the naval service in 1755, and was made lieutenant in 1762. During the Peace of 1763, he was in the Portuguese service, which he quitted in 1778; and, in the year following, he was made master and commander; and post captain in 1781, when he was appointed to the Europe, a 60 gun ship, in which he was actively employed in the Indian Seas. On his return to England, he was appointed commodore to the little squadron which took out the Convicts to Botany Bay, of which Settlement he was the first governor, where he remained until 1795.
