Holyoke, Francis

In Latin: Not far from hence lie, now indeed sterile and languid The Root, Shoot, and Branches of the Holy Oake, viz. Francis Holyoke, or the Root of the Holy Oake, Thomas the only Shoot of Francis, Both of them Lexicographers of superior Character. Judith the Wife of Francis, Anne the Wife of Thomas, The Branches of which Thomas & Anne, twelve in Number, Were not entirely of no Account in the World, One of which, the Master of the School at Rugby, in the County of Warwick, during 43 Years, Erected this Table to supply the Place of Annals; Who also himself withered away on the 10th Day of March, in the year of our Lord 1730, of his age 72.
