Do you know who the king was? If you can find a clan affiliated with that king, then the fact that Richard Huyshe used to hang out with him may be enough of a connection for the Huish name to be considered a sept of the king's clan. (If he has one.)
You can also design your own, as others suggested. I don't know what steps one goes through to get a tartan officially recognized though. But who knows, it might be fun!
And don't limit yourself either. As David posted, there's lots of district tartans to choose from. And don't forget the universal tartans either, like Black Watch. (Unless universal and district tartans are the same thing.) Or if you've got a good friend or relatives with a known family tartan, go with that one.
