PREFACE.

Several years ago I was asked a question concerning my
ancestors, which I could not answer, and in trying to find the
answer, I was surprised to learn how little I knew about the
Tarleton family. The relatives with whom I talked were but
little better informed. About that time I saw several published
family histories, and wished that some one would do for our
family what others had done for theirs. As no one else seemed
inclined to do so, I finally decided to make the attempt myself.

Of the time, effort, and expense given to this work I need not
speak ; those who have had some experience will realize what it
has cost ; others cannot, even if told. But I have also found
much of interest and pleasure in the work, and, better still, have
found many pleasant acquaintances among my far-off cousins.
Most of those to whom I have written have taken some interest
in the family name and history, and sent me the records in
their memory and possession ; a few have given cordial and
considerable help. To all I herewith extend my thanks for their
assistance.

Of course 1 cannot vouch for the accuracy of these records.
I have only tried to give them just as they were given to me,
except in a few cases of evident mistake. When different dates
have been received, I have sometimes given both and sometimes
the one that seemed most likely.

Most of the history of the family for the first hundred
years in this country has come from the published State and
Town Papers of New Hampshire and from the county records at
Exeter, N. H., with a little help from histories of towns and
counties, and from old newspapers. Our ancestors were not
literary, and have left scarcely anything in writing, except the
records in the Family Bible, and even these are scanty.

I am aware that the arrangement of these records is both
unusual and illogical. I began this collection by writing to
those living, and tracing backward I came to six persons, back

of whom I could not go for some time. As there seemed to he
six separate groups not far from the same size, and each group
knowing something of its own memhers and not much of the
others, I came to speak and write of the six brandies — Stileman,
Elias, William, Joseph, James, and John. Afterwards I found
that the first four were sons of Elias^ and that a more logical
arrangement would have been into tliree branches — Elias",
James", and John^ ; yet I decided not to change from my first
plan. I have given the records of the first two or three
generations first, and then followed with these six branches in
genealoofical order.

I have given most of my spare time and some money to this
work for four years. Perhaps more time and money would have
given better results, but 1 have done the best my circumstances
would allow. Mistakes will be found, for it is almost impossible
to avoid them in a work of this kind ; imperfections you will expect
to find. Init probably not as many as I have found. If this little
book shall give interest and pleasure to any : if it shall lessen
our selfishness and widen our sympathies ; it it shall make us
more thoughtful of those who have gone before us, and so more
worthy of being remembered and loved by those who come after
us, I shall not regret what it has cost me.

Kev. Jacob Chapman, the compiler of five family histories,
well says : " We are deeply indebted to others who have gone
before us for what we have and for what we are. If we deny
our obligations to them, we exhibit our ingratitude and our
folly. Every one who has lived a decent life desires to be
remembered, and especially by his relatives, and we are not
following the Golden Rule unless we also cherish the memory of
our ancestors."

And now I close with a cordial greeting to every member and
connection of our family, and with the earnest desire that every
name may be " written in the Lamb's book of life," so that when
the records are finally examined we shall all have an entrance to
our Father's home in heaven.

C. W. TARLETON.

TARLETON PARISH. ENGLAND;^

A tew miles from Liverpool lies the parish of Tarletou,
separated from Croston by the Douglass, a small river rendered
navigable in 1727. It comprises some 5,380 acres of land,
flat and tolerably fertile, and 300 acres of unreclaimed bog to
the westward. A large part of the land is now under potato
cultivation for the never failing markets of Liverpool, Man-
chester, and Preston. The rent is from thirty to forty shillings
per acre and tending upward.

" Tarleton either gave or received its name, like many other
Lancashire townships, from an ancient family settled at this
place." As the family name first appears as Walter de (of)
Tarleton, it seems more likely that the parish gave its name to
the family.

Two old deeds, signed before 1400, are on record. Li one,
Adam de Tarleton and another person give lauds and tenements,
which they had (apparently as trustees) in the towns of Croston,
Tarleton, etc. ; in the other, Thomas Banastre del Bank gives to
his son Thomas "all his massuages, lands, and tenements in the
town of Tarleton, wliich were formerly John's, the son of John
de Tarleton." It would appear that originally a family by the
name of Tarleton held the property to which these deeds relate.
Although there is no proof of the statement, it is supposed that
all the Tarletons we know of are descended from this family.

There is a ti-adition coming from the Tarletons of Ireland that
the family originally came to England from Normandy about
the time of the Norman conquest (1066), but a recent and
competent authority states that "the family is of Saxon origin,

*For a fuller account see "History of the Hundreds of Lancaster, County
Palatine," and "History of the County Palatine and City of Cheshire," by
George Ormarod, 1882 ; also " Genealogical and Heraldic History of the

taking its name from Tarlcton (parish) in Lancashire. The
pretix ' de ' in English family names does not imply Norman
descent, the earliest form of surname being the distinction
betAveen two people bearing the same name ; thus, John of
York, John of Chester, the 'of being rendered ' de.' But
' de' was also used to imply landed estate."

In England the eldest surviving son inherits his father's titles
and estates, and his family record is carefully kept. Sir Alfred
H. Tarleton, of London, now represents the line of eldest sons,
and has in his possession the "pedigree roll" going back to
1240. The following abstract from Burke's "Landed Gentry"
shows briefly his lineage :

The Tarleton family were seated early in the thirteenth century
at Aigburth, near Liverpool, in the county of Lancaster. The
records of H. M. College of Arms give : Edward Tarleton^''. of
Church Stile House, Liverpool, sixteenth in descent from Walter
de Tarleton. He was commander of the man-of-war " Dublin,"
a justice of the peace, and mayor of Liverpool, 1682. He was
born 1620, married 1640 and again 1661, died 1690, buried at
St. Nicholas, Liverpool. He left two sons, John and Edward,
and the last had three daughters, the youngest of wliom married
Timothy Tarleton, showing there was another family of Tarletons
in Liverpool at that time.

John^*^ (M. D.), mayor of Lancastei-, b. 1650, m. twice, d.
1721, buried at St. Nicholas; had sixteen sons, but only two
had children.

Thomas^*, a merchant, b. 1G80, m. 1715, d. 1731, bur.
in St. Paul's Churchyard, London* ; had four sons and two
dauiihters, but onlv one son had children.

John'^, of Aigburth and of Bolesworth Castle, County Chester,
and mayor of Liverpool, 1764, was b. 1710, m. 1751, d. 1793,
bur. St. Nicholas. He had five sons, William, Thomas, Banastre,
John, and Clayton. Only Thomas left sons.

Sir Alfred H. Tarleton is justice of the peace for the county
of Middlesex, Lord of the Manor of Cranfield, and formerly a
lieutenant in the Royal Navy, where he served from 1874 to
1888. He holds the estates of Breakspars, Uxbridge, Cranfield,
and Brockley. His city residence is 58 Warwick Square,
London.

Sir Banastre Tarleton, son of John Tarletoi?^, was born at
Liverpool, Eng. , Aug. 21, 1754. At the breaking out of the
Revolutionary war, Banastre left the study of law, and purchased
a cornetcy of dragoons. In December, 1776, he commanded the
advance guard of the patrol which captured Gen. Lee in New
Jersey, and served with Howe and Clinton in the campaigns of
1777-8. After the evacuation of Philadelphia he raised and
commanded, with the rank of lieut. col., a cavalry corps of reg-
ulars and Tories, called the British Legion. This corps was
constantly rendering important service to Lord CornwalHs in the
south, until he and Tarleton surrendered at Yorktown. In May,
1780, he surprised Col. Buford, and massacred his entire force,
refusing to give quarter, and so " Tarleton's quarter" became
a synonym for cruelty. He was in many engagements, and
was a brave and skillful, though cruel, officer ; he was below
middle size, stout, strong, and heavily built.

in TARLETOXS OF ENGLAND.

After his return to England he was appointed colonel of the
Eightli Light Dragoons and later lieutenant (or major) general.
He was elected member of parliament from Liverpool in 1790,
and held that position for twentv-two years, acting with the
liberal and reform party.

In 1815, he was made a baronet, and later received the title of
Commander of the Bath. He published, in 1787, "A History
of the Campaigns of 1780-81 in the Southern Provinces of
America," 518 pages. He died Jan. 23, 1833, having a wife
but no children. He is the first Tarleton that we have found
with a right to a coat of arms. His name is continued throusrh
his brother Thomas, who inherited and transmitted to his
descendants the family estate at Aigburth.

The following is condensed from an article in the Boston Globe :
A priceless relic of Revolutionary days has just been placed in
the state house at Columbia, S. C, for safe keeping. It is the
sword which Tarleton used in leading the British troopers at the
battle of Cowpens. Col. "William Washington, the gallant
leader of the American cavalry, pressed Tarleton so closely in
his fight as«to be able to have one exchange of saber blows with
the British leader. Washington's sword cut Tarleton's fingers,
and the British colonel dropped his steel, spurred his steed, and
obtained safety by flight. An American soldier saw the fight
and picked up the sword, which has since been preserved in the
family. The sword is a yard long, curved and heavy, and bears
the marks of the fight. The sword of Gen. Marion hangs
near by.

Admiral Sir John Walter Tarleton, H. C. B., died on
the twenty-fifth of September, 1880. He was born 1811, the
son of Mr. Thomas Tarleton, of Bolesworth Castle, county of
Chester, and grandnephew of Sir Banastre Tarleton. He
entered the Royal Navy in 1824, and attained the rank of
admiral in 1879. He commanded ships, saw considerable serv-
ice, and held many high offices. He married, 1861, Finetta
Esther, daughter of the Hon. Baron Dinsdale, and leaves one
son, Alfred Henry, and two daughters, Mary Beatrice and Edith
Finnetta. — Abstract from the London Times.

EARLY TARLTONS IN LONDON.

The early home of the Tarletons was near Liverpool, and the
eldest sons, as heirs of the estates, have lived near there until
recent times ; but there were other members of the family living
in other parts of England, especially in London, before 1600.

Richard Tarlton* was an actor in London at the time Shakes-
peare wrote his plays. One writing at that time and naming
the great men of England, excuses himself for mentioning "stage
players " by saying that "• excellence in the meanest things
deserves remembrance." He names " Richard Bourbridge and
Edward Allen, two such actors as no age must ever look to see
the like ; and to make their comedies compleat Richard Tarleton,
who for the Part called tlie Clown's Part never had his match,
never will have." For " writers of plays " he names William
Shakespeare and Benjamin Johnson. If Tarleton's profession
gives liim no great honor, his associates may at least save him
from contempt. Another Avriter says of him : "Our Tarleton
was master of his faculty. When Queen Elizabeth was serious
(I dare not say sullen) and out of good hvmior, he could
un-dumpish her at his will." His name also appears as author
of several small books. He was born at Coudover, Shropshire,
about one hundred miles northwest of London, and died in
1.5b8, probably in London. If his manners and morals were
rather too free even foi' his times, we may hope that his professed
repentance and reform were genuine.

The Harleian' Society of England has published more than
twenty volumes, consisting of copies of the Parish Records ^of
christenings, marriages, and burials in different parishes in
England, beginning with the reign of Queen Elizabeth. In the
preface to the first volume it is stated that " our business is only
with the records of those who, at the time the entiy was made,

* The People for Whom Shakespeare Wrote, p. 12.

12 TARLETONS OF ENGLAND.

were persons of recognized social position." Tlit; original
records would probably give more information, but being out of
reach these copies have been used.

The name of Tarleton first appears on these records at the
burial of William Tarleton, Feb. 6, 1588, in St. James Pai'ish,
Clerkenwell (then a suburb of London). Margaret Tarleton
was married in the same parish the next year, and another
Margaret in St. Thomas Parish. May 17, 1599. The name
appears on these records only these three times before 1600, but
in the next hundred years it occurs more than thirty times.
While there is some conjecture in arranging these separate
items into families, the following list of Tarlton families in the
vicinity of London is probably correct but not complete :

1. Richard Tarlton and Elizabeth Greene, mar. July 9, 1618,
in St. James parish. Frances, tlieir daughter, born and died in
1618.

2. Matthew Tarlton, " show maker." by his first wife, Brigete
(d. Apr. 24, 1653), had Elizabeth (d. 1637). and Mary (d.
Aug. 6, 1648) ; and by his second wife. Elizabeth, had Joseph
(chr. Apr. 24, 1655), Matthew (chr. Nov. 18, 1656 and died
next mouth), and Elizabetli (chr. Mar. 7. 1657), St. Mary's
Parish.

3. Henry Tarlton and Sarah , mar. . had William

(chr. ¥eh. 10, 1638), and Margaret (bur. July 1, 1639" .

4. Thomas Tarlton and Elizabeth . had Elizabeth (chr.

Feb. 16, 1661).

5. Ritchard Tarlton and Edeth Lockson, mar. May 22, 1666,
in St. James Parish. From the name, marriage, and date (see
will of Ruth Tarlton) we think this may be the Richard who came
to New Hampshire, but there is no proof.

6. Robert Tarlton, "Clerk of Pewterer's Inn" (bur. Aug.
15, 1720), mar. Sept. 27, 1667, Kathrina Heath (d. Aug. 9,
1704), and had Robert (chr. June 7, 1676), Sarah, Elizabeth,
Sarah, Thomas (all four died before 1680), Thomas, Pleasant,
and Catherine (chr. 1680. 1681. 1685). St. Dionis Parish.

7. John Tarlton, mar. , and had Elizabeth (bur. Aug.

10, 1670).

LONDON TARLETONS. 13

The burial of several servants of Tarltons are mentioned,
showing some of the families were not poor. Many of the
bnrials were in the churches, as in the "North Isle," the
"Great Vault," and "in ye 5th seat behind the pulpit." The
relation of these families to each other and to the emigrants is
not known.

LATER TARLTONS IN LONDON,

Thomas Waldon Digby Tarltou's father was a military man
and his mother was a Quakeress. Thomas married Elizabeth
Stephenson, lived fifty-two years, and had four children : i,
Richard, who had three children, Walter, Annie, and Jessie ;
ii, Amelia ; iii, Robert, who married Rose Spooner, and had
Arthur, Matthew, Lucy, and Anne; iv, Anne Ruth, b. 1827,
d. 1898, m. 1849, Mark Bean. Tlieir daughter, Emily C, m.
Rev. J. W. Atkinson, for thirty-two years pastor of the Latimer
Congregational Church, Stepney. Their sou, Montague Atkin-
son, barrister-at-law, sends these facts.

The Robert and Matthew above are the ones whose names
appear on the London directory as drapers, living in St. George
street.

The only other Tarlton name on the directory is Sir Alfred
H., 58 Warwick Square (p. 9), who has given valuable infor-
mation.

There are said to be two soldiers in the British army in South
Africa by the name of Tarlton ; a French family of this name is
also reported.

NEW CASTLE.

"New Castle, Historic and Picturesque," by John Albee,
1884, is a very interesting little book to all lovers of "ye olden
times," and well worth reading by those who want to know the
early history of our family in this country. From this source
most of the following account is selected.

New Castle is the largest of several islands lying in Ports-
mouth harbor, and was generally called Great Island by the
early settlers. It is some two miles long by one mile wide, and
is rectangular in shape, witli an irregular coast line. Bridges
connect it with Portsmouth, which name was often applied to
both places in early times.

A little southwest of New Castle, just across an arm of the
sea called Little Harbor, is Odiorne's Point, where the. first house
in New Hampshire was built, in 1623. Near by is the Odiorne
homestead, which has been in the family since 1660; and also
Mason Hall, once occupied by John Alason, to whom was granted
the whole province of New Hampshire. New Castle is in full
view from the Point, and was first occupied between 1623 and
1635, for between these dates the company sent out by Mason to
occupy his grant, " did build many houses upon the great
island," and " erected a tlbrt, and mounted it with tenn Guns,
for the Defense of said Island and River." This fort was at
the northeast point of the island, and was first called The
Castle, afterwards Fort William and Mary, then, during the
Revolutionary war. Fort Hancock, and when it was rebuilt in
1808, it probably received its present name. Fort Constitution.
Since the Civil war it has been only an unfinished, desolate rum,
garrisoned for some years with one soldier, and then by none.
The first commander of the fort that we know of was Richard
Cutts, in 1674, and when he died he, was succeeded by his
lieutenant, Elias Stileman. The old fort has been several times
alarmed, but has never fired a belligerent gun, though it has
once been captured. Before Paul Revere's famous ride to
Lexington, " on the nineteenth of April, seventy-five," he rode on

16 TARLETONS OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.

a somewhat similar errand to Portsmouth, on the thirteenth of
December, '74. He was sent by the Boston Committee of
Safety to a simihir committee in Portsmouth, to inform them
of the British order that no more gunpowder should be shipped
to America. Accordingly the Portsmouth Sons of Liberty, with
the patriots of New Castle, in all about four hundred, invested
the fort and summoned Captain Cochrane and his five soldiers to
surrender. It was not the fort they wanted but the hundred
barrels of powder, which they carried away and secreted imder
the meeting house in Durham. Most of it was afterward used
in the battle of Bunker Hill. During the war with Spain, a
company of soldiers was stationed at the fort, and two large dis-
appearing guns were put in position near by.

Very uear the fort is Fort Point lighthouse. At the first, the
only light was a lantern hung from the flagstaflT of the fort, but
in 1771, Governor Wentworth had a massive eight-sided wooden
lighthouse built there. It was forty feet in diameter at the
base, and ninety feet high. Kew Hampshire ceded it to the
United States in 1789, and in 1879 it was torn down and an
iron tower put in its place. The light was kept by Elias Tarl-
ton^ for some years after the Revolution, and also by his great
grandson, Elias Tarlton^, some eighty years later. The homes of
the different Tarltons who have lived at New Castle, have been
within a half mile of the fort and lighthouse. Jerry's Point, at
the southeast of the island, was early known as JaiFrey's Point.
from one of the early settlers who built here, more than two
.centuries ago, Jaffrey's cottage, now owned and occupied by
John Albee. In its parlor was held the Provincial Assembly in
1682-83. The old fortifications here have been leveled at
different times to make room for those that took their place.
Several heavy guns were put in position here in 1898, command-
ing the outer harbor of Portsmouth. The United States life
saving station is also here, and their watchman has a wide
expanse of ocean to scan, while the crew have a full share of
rough and dangerous work. They are sometimes called to the
Isles of Shoals, six miles distant. Elias Tai-lton^ is one of the
crew.

NEW CASTLE. 17

Near the southwest corner of the island stands the AYentworth
House, a beautiful and spacious summer hotel, built in 1874, but
twice enlarged. From its lofty towers, one hundred and seventy
feet above the sea, a wide expanse of sea and land is visible —
the inner and outer harbor of Portsmouth, the many bays and
creeks and islands, the Isles of Shoals, many hills in the distance,
and, in a very clear day, Mt. Washington, of the White Moun-
tain range, due north, and ninety miles away. The free bridge,
close by, across Little Harbor, connects with the main land.
Although this is the site of the earliest settlement, but few
private houses are now seen, for the village moved to tlie north
side of the island many years ago. Two small islands lie
between the northwest corner of New Castle mid Portsmouth,
and so a bridge connects New Castle and Goat Island, this and
Shapley's Island, and this with Frame Point, in Portsmouth.
Here is the toll house, where the traveler must '•'stand and
deliver when he crosses the ' Three Bridges.' " From these
bridges is a good view of Seavey's Island, where Spanish
prisoners were kept in the summer of 181)8, of Piscataqua
river, which is simply an arm of the sea, of the ship channel to
the wharves of Portsmouth, and of the United States navy yard,
just across the river, but in the state of Maine. In New Castle,
near the bridges, is Riverside Cemetery, of modern use, for the
early inhabitants were mostly buried in little groups about the
island, with no name, nor date, and often with not even a stone
to mark the spot.

New Castle was in early times the capital of the Province,
the seat of government, and the residence of many prominent
men. In 1693, alter long eifort, it obtained a separation from
Portsmouth and became "'aTowne Corporate, by the name of
New Castle," by a royal charter from William and Mary, dated
May 30, 1693. The original charter is now in existence, and a
copy is given in Albee's book. The town records from 1693 to
1726 were long supposed to be lost, but in 1873 they were
returned from England. Wlieu and how they got there no one
can now tell.

18 TARLETONS OF NKW HAMPSHIKK.

The Province House stood on a slight eminence not far from
the fort, and its fonndations are still visi])le, and its well is still
in use. A part of it was moved away, and is now used as a
dwelling-house. Most of the Tarleton homes were near this
place.

The list of settled ministers of the Congregational church goes
back to 1682, and all were educated men. The first church
stood very near the fort; it was sold and another built in 1704
near the site of the third and present one, which was built in 1835.
In the first house was a bell of remarkably sweet tone, a gift of
the English government, which was transferred to the second
house. For many years it called the people to worship and to
funerals ; it sounded out tlie peace after the Revolution, from
sunrise to sunset ; it tolled for the death of Washington and for
his funeral; it summoned the people to defend their shores in the
war of 1812 ; and, when the news of peace with England in
1816 reached New Castle late one evening, it rano; out the
joyful news all night long, and in the morning became silent
forever. Benjamin Randall was born here in 1749, was con-
verted nnder the preaching of Whitefield, and joined the
Congregational church. About 1780, he began to spread hi§
peculiar views, and became tlie founder and a noted preacher of
the Free "Will Baptist denomination. A cluirch of this faith
was organized here about 1787. which has since taken the name
of '■'■ Christian cluirch." Schools were early established and
well maintained, but at first were only for boys.

The population has not varied greatly for tw^o hundred years,
and has seldom been less thau five, or more than seven hundred.
In 1696, there were one hundred and eight taxable men on the
island, and at the next official census, in 1773, there were six
hundred and one inhabitants, of whom thirteen were slaves. In
1884, there wei-e one hundred and thirty-six houses and six
hundred inhabitants, but the census of lb90 gave only four
hundred and eighty-eight.

The bi-centenuial of New Castle w^as celebrated Aug. 17,
1893. A neat pamphlet gives an account of the services, and
the addresses.

SPELLING,

The name first occurs as Walter de Tarleton, Adam de Tarle-
ton, and John de Tarleton, before 1400, but by 1600 the " de "
had been dropped. The Tarletons of Liverpool have always
retained the "e," but the Tarltons of London generally omitted
the "e" after 1(300. The early settlers in New Hampshire,
and in Maryland, omitted the "e," which is one evidence that
they both came from London. Those who live in New Castle,
and in St. Mary's county, Md., now omit the " e." There is
no evidence that members of either family in this country used
the "e" until after 1800; but since then it has been gradually
coming into use, till now the majority spell their name Tarleton.
Of those now living, all of the Stileman, William, and James
branches use the "e"; also all of the Elias branch, except
those living in New Castle and Portsmouth, and all of the
John branch, except the descendants of Thomas Tarlton of
Portsmouth. All of the Joseph branch omit tlie " e," except
John W. In these records we have tried to spell the name
of the individual as we think the person named spelled it,
or spells it now, but when using the name generally, we have
spelled it Tarleton. In some places the name is pronounced
as if spelled Tolton, and this may have given rise to the curious
ways in which others have sometimes spelled it — Tarliugton,
Tarrington, Tarrinton, Toulton, Tolton, Talton, Talten. Thei'e
is no evidence that any of the name ever spelled his own name
otherwise than Tarleton or Tarlton, unless it be Richard, the
emigrant. Some of the various spellings of his name seem to
be his own use.

FIRST NAMES.

Several names occur so often, especially in the earlier history,
that they may be considered family names. The most note-
worthy of these is Elias. The father of Ruth (Stileman) Tarl-
ton was named Elias ; so was her grandfather, and her great-
grandfather, and probably back still further. She named her
first child Elias, and there has been an Elias Tarlton in direct
descent ever since. Each of them has made New Castle his
home for a part of his life, and all but the first two for nearly
all of their lives. Elias', Elias^, and Elias**, grandfather, father,
and son. are now living on the inland, near the home of their
ancestors. A look at the index shows the partiality for Bible
names, while king Richard, and "William, and George, and
John, and our own presidents, are not forgotten. The name of
Stileman Tarlton (sometimes spelled Stilman), borne by at least
three persons, points back to the emigrant's wife. Mary occurs
twenty-six times, John twenty-four times, William twenty-one
times, and George twenty times.

Some were satisfied with two names, but most have a middle
name ; and one was so generous he gave each of his four chil-
dren two middle names.

RESIDENCE,

Of the residence of Richard Tarlton^ the emigrant, before he
came to this country, nothing is positively known, although there
are some reasons for thinking that he lived in London. After
he came to Great Island (or New Castle, as it is now called), he
lived very near to Fort Point, and here his four children, Elias,
William, Richard, and Ruth, were born. There is a tradition
common in the family that " there were three brothers who

came from England ; one settled in Portsmouth, one in
New Castle, and one went south." This does not agree with
the records at all, but if " se father" is inserted in the blank
space above, it agrees exactly. Elias Tarlton- removed about
1720 to a farm in Portsmouth some three and a half miles from
the city, and five or six miles from liis olil home, where he died
in 1785. The farm was owned by his children, and finally sold by
his gi'and children about 1840. Richard^ remained at New Castle,
and some of his descendants are now living near the same spot.
As we can find no further trace of William-, we accept the
tradition that he " went south," but when, and where, and if
he had a family, we cannot learn. It is quite certain he is not
the ancestor of the Tarltons of St. Mary's county, Md. We
only know of Ruth by her mother's will, and do not know if she
married, nor where she lived, nor when she died.

Elias'', son of Elias", returned to New Castle, and some of his
descendants have lived there ever since, and so have some of the
descendants of Jolm', son of Richard-. These two branches
were united by marriage in 1792, and again in 18o3. The first
resulted in a numerous posterity, but the second did not.

Probably none of the Tarltons (except William-) lived outside
of New Castle and the adjoining towns of Portsmouth, Rye,
and Greenland, till about 1760, when William^ went to Pier-
mont in the northern part of the state. Soon after, his brother
Stileman* removed to what is now Newfields, near Exeter, N. H.

22 TAKLETONS OF NKW HAMPSHIRE.

According to the United States census there were fifty-four
Tarltons in New Castle in 1850, forty-two in 1860, seventeen
in 1870, and fifteen in 1880. There are about a dozen living
there now and a half dozen in Portsmouth, but there is only one
boy under twenty-one in both places to keep up the name.
Members of the family are now living in other parts of New
Hampshire, and in Massachusetts, Vermont, New York, Ala-
bama, Michigan, Colorado, Nebraska, California, Washington,
and the Sandwich Islands.

OCCUPATION.

The Tarleton family seems to have been of the middle class
from the first. The early parish records of London show that
they were of some social standing-, yet not wealthy, nor holding
important office. The Tarletons of Liverpool seem to have been
rather more prominent. In this country, too, most of the
family have been of the common people. Few have been found
in office and none in jail ; few have been wealtliy, and only
three are known to have been in the almshouse, and these were
old people, with no children to care for them. Many of those
who lived in New Castle or Portsmouth have followed the sea at
least a part of their lives, and often had command of vessels.
Many have been farmers, and several have been in trade, from
the small country store to the large cotton commission merchant.
A dozen have been connected Avith railroads, and half as many
have been bookkeepers. There has been no lawyer nor doctor
among the Ncav Hampshire Tarletons, and only one minister.
Four have been college graduates, and several have been school
teachers, though no one has made teaching a life work. No
man, and only three women, are known to have signed their
name with a X, which is unusual for a history of two hundred
years. Many have been members of some church, but more
have not. A few have been strong temperance men, but many
followed the customs of early times, and drank more or less New
England rum ; several injured, and some ruined themselves by
strong drink. On the whole, it is perhaps an average family of
the early New Hampshire settlers and their descendants.

MILITARY HISTORY,

COLONIAL WARS.

The only record of our name that we find at this time is that
of Elias Tarlton. If others were engaged their names have not
been kept.

ASSOCIATION TEST.

In March, 1776, Congress passed a resohition advising the
colonies to disarm all who were "■ notoriously disafi'ected to the
cause of America," and who "refused to associate to defend by
arms the United Colonies against the hostile attempts of the
British Fleets and Armies." Accordingly, the New Hampshire
Committee of Safety sent the following pledge to all the towns
for signatures. It was in fact, if not in name, a declaration of
independence by the people of New Hampshire similar to, but
earlier than the National Declaration of July 4, 1776 :
"AVe, the Subscribers, do hereby solemnly engage, and
promise, that we will to the utmost of our power, at the Risque
of our Lives and Fortunes, with Arms oppose the Hostile Pro-
ceedings of the British Fleets and Armies against the United
American Colonies." Among the fifty-seven signers in New
Castle were Elias Tarlton and John Tarlton. Only four on the
island refused to sign. Among the five hundred and nine
signers in Portsmouth were Richard Tarlton, James Tarlton,
Jr., and Elias Tarlton. Fifteen refused to sign. In the state
there were eight thousand one hundred and ninety-nine signers,
and seven hundred and seventy-three refusals. The descendant
of a signer of the Association Test is eligible to membership in
the Sons of the Revolution, or in the Daugliters of the Revolu-
tion. So the first four branches of the family are eligible by
both the signing of the Test and the military service of Ellas'^,
the fifth branch is uncertain, and the sixth branch is eligible
through John^.

MILITARY HISTORY. 25

REVOLUTIONARY WAR.

Among those who rendered military service during the Revo-
lutionary War are :

Elias Tarlton, William Tarlton, Elias Tarlton, Jr., George
Tarlton, Isaac Tarlton, Mary Tarlton's husband.

In the War of 1812 the following sei'ved at the forts in
New Castle and vicinity : Jonathan Tarlton, William Tarlton,
Joseph <|>arlton, Elias Tarlton, Ellas'^ Tarlton (navy), Nathaniel
Tarlton . / A . c/^^ . T^, r/e / •■

In the Mexican War were B. Frank Tarlton and perhaps
Stileman Tarlton.

In the Civil War, on the Confederate side, was Lieut. <^_^y;
j^il^'^y Robert Tarleton ; on the Union side, William B. Tarleton
(navy), Stephen B. Tarlton, Charles W. Tarleton, Mary J.
Tarleton's husband, Cornelia Tarleton's husband, Frances A.
Tarleton's husband, Catherine R. Tarleton's son, Betsey Tarl-
ton's son, Lucretia Tarlton's son, and Mercy Tai'lton's two sons.
This list does not include the Maryland Tarletons.

In the Cuban War it is not known that any New Hampshire
Tarleton was in the military service.

ENGLISH ESTATES,

Rumors of great wealth in England that belonged to heirs in
America have disturbed our family as they have others. Tn
1872, Rev. J. W. Tarleton was notitied by an agent for foreign
claims that there was an advertisement for the heirs to a Tarleton
estate in England, and that if he could prove his relation, he
would doubtless receive the money. Old letters show that he at
once began the collection of the family records, but how long he
continued, and what results he obtained, is not known, for none
of his records can be found. As he seems to have accepted the
erroneous statement made in tlie *•' History of Rockingham and
Strafford Counties," 188-2, that Elias Tarlton (father of William,
Stileman, and Joseph) was the emigrant, he certainly did not
trace our ancestry back to England.

William A. Tarlton, of New Castle, is said to have under-
taken the same work for the same purpose, but at what time is
not stated. The extent of his work is not known, as his written
records cannot be found. The writer of this has found it difRcult
to convince some that he was not engaged in this work for the
same purpose as the others. It might be thought that these
rumors originated with the claim agents, if Amos Tarleton had
not himself seen the notice — "Wanted, the heirs of William
Tarleton" — posted on a door in Liverpool, Eng.

If any of our family in this country have great expectations of
becoming rich in this way, let them remember that there are
Tarleton s in England more nearly related than we are ; that it is
very doubtful if all our ancestry can ever be proved by the
evidence required by law ; that the administrator of the estate
could not divide the property till he knew the exact nvimber of
heirs ; and that the endless lawsuits required to prove heirship
and disprove false claimants would give the lawyers a chance to
take the whole estate.

THE STILEMAN FAMILY.

The name of Elias Stileman* (or Styleman) appears on " The
Herald's Visitation of Hampshire, England," in 1634, and his
coat of arms and crest are described. This was either the
emigrant, or more likely the father of the emigrant, Elias Stile-
man\ who was one of the early settlers in Salem, Mass. (perhaps
1629). He was tavern keeper, constable, and clerk of court,
and died 1662. He seems to have had a daughter, Damaris,
whose daughter, Ruth Langford, is mentioned in Rutli Tarlton's
will. He also had one son, Elias Stileman-, who was born in
England in 1615, and lived with his father in Salem till he
removed to Portsmouth, N. H., in 1658. He was admitted to
the church in Salem in 1639, and made a "freeman" iu 1642.
His first wife was Mary, who died soon after 1684, over sixty
years of age ; the second Avife was Mrs. Lucy Willis. By Mary
he had one son, Elias Stileman', who was baptised in Salem,
Mar. 15, 1640-1, and married, Apr. 10, 1667, to Ruth
Mannyard. He died soon after, leaving a daughter, Ruth, who
married, about 1692, Richard Tarlton, of New Castle, and from
whom all the New Hampshire Tarletons are descended.

Elias Stileman- had a cousin, Richard Stileman, who was born
iu England in 1611, and lived some years iu Cambridge and
Salem, and in 1655 removed to Great Island (New Castle), where
he died 1678. By his first wife he had a son, who died young;
and by his second wife three daughters, two of whom married,
and one son, Richard, who died before 1708, probably unmarried,
leaving a will now on record. And so, while the cousins, Elias
and Richard Stileman, have many descendants now living, they
have none bearing the name of Stileman.

Hon. or Maj. F^Has Stileman^ was "almost always in office"
while he lived in Portsmouth ; for while his residence was on the
island, both parts were practically one at that time and often spoken
of as Portsmouth. He was one of the original members of the
Congregational churcli there. His name appears some thirty
times in Vol. I, New Hampshire State Papers, as selectman,
councillor, commissioner, lieutenant, etc., in connection with
various kinds of public business. He died in 1695, leaving a
will now on record, and a copy of which is given below and also
a copy of the will of his granddaughter, Ruth (Stileman)
Tarlton.

They had a son, Robert, born Oct. 6, 1678, and five days later
the mother died, aged twenty-two. Within a year he married
Deborah, daughter of Daniel Gushing, of Hingham, Mass., but
lived less than a year after this. No further ti'ace of their son
Robert occurs, and he probably left no children. The relation
of Henry to Richard Tarlton, of New Castle, is not known.

TARLETONS OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.

[Note: When the town is in New Hampshire the N. H. isusiially omitted in
the following pages.
The figures before names refer to pages in the book.]

Richard Tarlton. In the parish records of St. James
church, Clerkenwell (then a suburb of London, Eng.), is recorded
the marriage of " Ritchard Tarlton and Edeth Lockson, May
22, 1666." The will of Ruth Tarlton (p. 31) second wife of
Richard, provides, "if my husband Richard Tarlton deceased,
his daughter shall come to this country she shall receive a gold
ring," proving that Richard Tarlton married in England, and
that his wife died leaving a daughter there. If this Richard of
the parish register is the one who came to New Castle, he was
probably born near London about 1640. Richard Tarlton is
the ancestor of the New Hampshire Tarletons, and probably came
to New Castle with John Mason, between 1685 and 1690, and
w^as employed by him as " chief artificer," or head carpenter,
in the erection of houses on the island. He probably owned the
house in which the Assembly met in 1693-1696, for the follow-
ing bill is given in "State Papers of New Hampshire," Vol.
XVII, p. 647 :

" The Counsel & Assemblv is to Rich: Tarrinton for house
room D"". To 34 days theire two Last Siting, 2 days whereof ye
Counsel sate by themselves, at 2^ 6'^ p diem, is — but leave it to
yo'' discression. Rich''. Tarrinton.

29 Nov. '94.

"Allowed this ace', of 34 days at 18" £2. IP.

Adjusted Nov. 29—1694."

In 1693, the name of Richard Tarletown and others is
attached to a petition for the separation of New Castle from
Portsmouth into a town by itself. About the same time Richard
Tarlton 's name and thirty-two others appears on the following peti-
tion : "To y" Honorable, y*^ Lieut Govern"" and Councill of this their
Maj'ties Province of New Hampshire; — the humble petition of
the Inhabitants of the Great Island, humbly sheweth : That
whereas we, being part of y"' twone of portsm'^' : and having

tent number to make and uphold a twoneship, doe humbly beg

we may be constituted a Twoneship by our selves. ..."

'* At a Councill held at Portsmouth Apr. 27"^ 96.

. . Rich''. Tarlington's ace", to the 27"' April 1696, for the
house where the Councill and Assembly- satt, am° to £2 : 5 : 0
allowed and ordered payd."

"At a Councill held at New Castle, Aug. 10 — 1694, at 12 of
the clock," mention was made of " Rich'' Torlington (Tarlton)
Constable of New Castle" ; a much higher office then than it is
now.

The name of " Rlch'^ Taulton " appears among tlie ninety-
eight inhabitants of New Castle in 169o.

His second marriage was at New Castle about 1692 to Rath
Stileman, probably the daughter of Elias Stileman, Jr., and
certainly the granddaughter of Major Elias Stileman of New
Castle, as appears by his will (p. 28), now on record at the
register of probate for Rockingham county, in Exeter, N. H.
By the treasurer's statement of payments in 1693 (State Papers,
Vol. XVII, p. 621), it appears that 10s. was paid to Ruth Tar-
lington. and again, July, 1693, £2, 6s. was paid to Ruth Tar-
rinton.

While Richard Tarlton and a party of fishermen were casting
anchor, he was caught by a turn of the rope, pulled under water
and drowned, 1706. His widow survived him a few years.
Her will (p. 30), dated Jan. 4, 1707, was admitted to probate,
Mar. 4, 1708.

38. Elias Tarlton- (Richard^), bora ia New Castle, Aug.

13, 1693, " being Lord's day." The most that is known of him
comes from old deeds now on record in the office of register of deeds
for Rockingham county, at Exeter, N. H. He married Mary

C\/\ about 1720, and it is probable that the farm on which they

3^ lived was hers, for in the same year that he died his son gave a
mortgage deed of the farm: "Said tract lying common and
undivided among the heirs of Mary Tarlton, of Portsmouth,
deceased," The mortgage was for £59, only a small part of
the value of the farm, and was dated Oct. 24, 1785. The
mortgage was afterward cancelled and the property divided among
the heirs, and remained in possession of their families till about
fifty years ago.

In 17 04, the " inhabitants of the parish of Rye and the
inhabitants of the South West end of Portsmouth " signed a
petition "for a road across the woods from or near Thomas
Cotton's farm iu Long Lane, so called, to the highway in Rye near
to Wallis Foss's." The petition was granted by the House of
Representatives, May 10, 1764, and the road is now known as
the "Ocean Road." Among the sixty-four signers were EliaS
Tarlton, Sr., his sons, Elias, John, Richard, James, and Benja-
min, and his grandson, Elias, Jr. As this road was very near
his farm, it shows he was living there in 1764. This farm was
bounded on the southeast by the " main road leading from Ports-
mouth to Rye," or "Long Lane, so called," but known, since
Gen. LaFayette traveled over this road on his visit to Ports-
mouth, in 1826, as the "LaFayette Road"; on the northeast by
"land of Nathaniel Cotton"; on the northwest by "land of
Thomas Seavey," and " of John Banfield" ; and on the south-
west by "a cross-road leading from Greenland to Long Lane."
It contained " 100 acres more or less," and was three and one-
half miles from the city. A part of this farm is now owned by
S. S. Whidden. The old house that Elias and his family used
was torn down a few years since, but their barn is now standing,
though remodeled.

May 26, 1718, " EliasTarlton of New Castle, cooper," bought
of Katherine Weymouth and her three daughters, for £40, a

38 TARLETONS OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.

"peice of land on ye Great Island in ye aforesaid town of New
Castle, being batted on the highway ; being land purchased by
James Weymouth of George Vaughn."

May 6, 1723, Elias Tarlton of Portsmouth sold one acre of
land in New Castle, for £12, 10s., and his wife Mary joins in
the deed ; so he moved to Portsmouth soon after he was
married.

In 1731, he was one of a committee of three to dispose of
undivided land in New Castle, and gives a deed accordingly. In
1737, he was one of several signers to a petition for a second
meeting-house in the south part of Portsmouth.

He bought one and one-fifth acres of marsh in the parish of
Rye for £21, 12s., Jan. <S, 1742, and was then a resident of
Portsmouth.

In 1749, " Elias Tarlton of Portsmouth, cooper," bought
another one and one-half acres of marsh in Rye, and ten years
later two other lots of marsh in Rye, of one and one-fifth acres
each, paying for the four lots £323, 12s.

July 9, 1771, he sells fifty acres of land in Portsmouth to
Benjamin Tarlton, his son, for £50. No wife joins in this deed,
and perhaps she was dead.

He died 1785, aged 92, and a I'ow of mounds in what was once
a field near the barn, and some rough stones without any name or
date mark the last resting place of Elias and his family.

The following deed is dated Mar. 2, 1789. "We, Elias
Tarlton, Benjamin Tarlton, John Tarlton and Richard Tarlton
of Portsmouth, and Ruth Tarlton of Rye, Spinster," (the daugh-
ter and heir of Joseph Tarlton, deceased), sell to "James Tarl-
ton of Portsmouth, cooper," for £50, land in Portsmouth, " it
being the seventh part of a farm lately owned and improved by
Elias Tarlton, deceased."

EAELY SETTLERS. 39

Three of the six sons — Elias, Joseph, and Richard — lived
away from home, but the other three always lived on the old
homestead, and left it to their children, but they do not seem to
have had any grandchildren, and the farm passed out of the name.

"^ \,y^' Richard Tarlton^ (Richard^), born in New Castle. The
exact date of either birth, marriage or death is unknown, but he
was probably born soon after 1695, and died a little before 1759.
As he had four children old enough to sign deeds at the last date,
he was married perhaps thirty years or more earlier. He was a
"freeholder" in New Castle in 1723, and one of 131 tax-payers
in New Castle, in 1728, his tax being £1, 10s.

Although it is probable that lie always lived in New Castle he
was one of the original proprietors of Epsom, as shown by the
following Charter : *

" George, By the Gi-ace of God, of Great Britain, France
and Ireland, King, Defender of the Faith.

To all People to whom tliese presents shall come, Greeting :

John Wentworth."

The first meeting of the proprietors was in the ferry house in
New Castle, Monday, Dec. 4, 1727. Other meetings followed.
Nov. 9, 1732, a Committee reported that there were forty-seven
proprietors in New Castle, thirty-three in- Rye, and sixty-three in
Greenland. " The proprietors then proceeded to draw their sev-
eral lots as follows. . . Richard Tarleton lot 16. . . "

He kept this lot of forty-seven acres, "more or less," till his
death, and then his son John bought it of the other heirs, as
appears by the following abstract: "We Richard Tarlton of
Portsmouth, Cordwainer (shoemaker), and Benjamin Bell Jr.
Mariner, and Elizabeth Bell, his wife, in her own right and Ruth
Tarlton, all of New Castle" sell for £120 old Tenor, to "John
Tarlton of New Castle, Cordwainer," " all our right, title, and
interest in a certain lot or Grant of Land in the township of
Epsom, . . being the 1 6"' Lot in number. Said Lot of land
was granted to our father Richard Tarlton, deceased." Dated
Feb. 3, 1759. (Reg. of Deeds, Vol. 113, p. 404.)

John owned this land as long as he lived and at his death we
shall hear from it again. All that is known of the first three of
Richard's family comes from the above mentioned deed.

38. Elias Tarlton^ (Ellas', Richard^) , born in New Castle or
Portsmouth in 1720 or 1721. The name of his wife and date of
marriage are lost. His name appears on three deeds. The first
Oct. 24, 1785, when he borrowed £59, at the death of his father,

42 TARLETOXS OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.

and gave a mortgage of the farm as security ; second, Mar. 2, 1 789,
when with his brothers he sold a part of the farm to his brother
James; and hist, May 24, 1791, when he sokl for .£74 his share
of his father's farm, "bounded easterly by road from Portsmouth
to Eye," " southerly by road from Portsmouth to Greenland,"
"northerly by land belonging to the heirs of my late father,
Elias Tarlton, deceased." In the first deed his occupation is given
as a carpenter, and in the last as a ship carpenter. In each deed
his residence is Portsmouth. Perhaps his wife would not be
expected to join in either of the first two deeds; but we should
expect her to join in the last if she were living. Her name
does not appear on either. His name is found several times in
Vols. 14, 16 and 20 of the N. H. State Papers. Under the
head of "French War Rolls," Vol. XIV, is " A List of the men
under the Command of Cap' Job Clement a Gard for Rochester
& Barrenton," April 7, 1848. Among the sixty-six names in
the company is "Elias Talton," who joined June 3. The
length of his service is not known. In the same volume is "A
Pay Roll of Cap' John Calfe's Company in Coin' Pierce Long's
Regiment in Continental Service, Stationed at New Castle at the
Entrance to Piscataqua Harbour, in the State of New Hamp-
shire, From the Time of engaging in the Service to the 7"^ day
of December 1776."

On this roll is the name of Elias Talton, private, mustered
Oct. 5, place of abode. New Castle, amount of wages £4, 2s.,
8d., eighty-six men in the company. Another pay-roll, with the
same names, dates from Dec. 7 to Jan. 7, 1777. At the same time
there is "A Pay Role for that part off Cap' John Calfs Comp-'
"Who are fit to March to Ticonderoga, being for one m°
pay in advance from the 7"" Jan-^' to the 7"' Feb-'' 1777," and on
it is the name of Elias Tarlton, private. On "A Return of
Soldiers Who have not Marched for Ticonderoga " is the name
"Elias Tarleton," Feb. 25, 1777.

In 1784, he was keeper of the lighthouse at Fort Point, for
the President and Council " ordered the Ti-easurer to pay Elias
Tarlton five pounds seventeen shillings and four pence for attend-
ing the Light House at Fort Point from 22'' July to 20"^ Oct,

EARLY SETTLERS. 43

1784." Later there is " A Pay Roll for the Company stationed
at New Castle from y^' 13* Oct^ 1785 up to y*^ 13"^ Febry 1786,"
signed by Meshaeh Bell, Capt. Only eight names are given and
the company was probably only a small guard for the fort.
Elias Tarlton, private, received .£16, just double the pay of
the other privates. The next pay-roll carries the same names
forward four months, and four months later, Sept. 13, 1786,
there is another pay-roll of the company bearing the names of
Elias Tarlton, George Tarlton, Elias Tarlton, Jr., and others.
The last Elias was probably a son of the first. As Capt. Bell
died July 18, " Then Elias Tarlton (who was specially appointed
to the care of the Fort William & Mary, and the Company Lately
Commanded by Capt. Meshech Bell, deceased) personally
appeared and made Solemn Oath to the truth of the foregoing
Roll, by him Signed." On the journals of the House and Senate
for Sept. 19, 1786, is '' A vote that the pay-roll of Elias Tarl-
ton amounting to forty nine pounds be paid out of the Treasury
by order of the President." Then there is " A Pay Roll for the
Matross Company, Commanded by Capt. Titus Salter, Stationed
at Fort William and Mary, From September 14* 1786 to Janu-
ary 14"' 1787." The other names on the roll are the same, but
Elias Tarlton is now sergeant at £4 per month, or twice that of
the privates.

There is another and last pay-roll of this company, with the
same names and pay, dated May 31, 1787. June 14, 1791,
there is "A vote to pay Elias Tarlton JC4, 13s., 4d. on Capt.
Salter's Roll."

He seems to have kept his position as light house keeper
while a soldier, for there is a vote that "the monthly pay of
Elias Tai'lton of forty shillings for attending said light " at New
Castle be paid.

It is probable he spent his last days with his son Joseph at Rye,
for in an old newspaper we find that "Elias Tarlton lived in
Rye, and when he was upwards of 91 years of age, walked from
there to South Newmarket to spend Thanksgiving with his
grandson, Samuel Tarlton, and returned to Rye the next day, in
the same way, the distance being 12 miles; and when he was

44 TARLETOXS OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.

upwards of 92 years of age, and only a few days before his
death, he walked from Iiis home in Rye to New Castle to see his
brothers, from there to Portsmouth, took dinner with a oraiid-
daughter, and from there home, a distance in all of nine miles, a
remarkable performance for one of his great age." He died
Dec. 2, 1811, aged 90, according to a Family Bible, but this
does not agree with the statement above. There is no record of
his family, but it is certain that those named below were a part
of his children :

CHILDREN.

i. Mary (?), b. 174o ; d. June 3, 1836.

ii. Stileman, b. 1745; d. Jan. 4, 1«07.

iv. William, b. 17-52 ; d. Mar. 19, 1819.

V. Joseph, b. 1762 ; d. Apr. 6, 18.52.

But very little can be told of the other children of Elias", and
that little comes mostly from old deeds and one old will. Even
the order of their birth is unknown, and so the names are given
in the order in which they appear on the deed of Mar. 2, 1789.

38, Benjamin Tarlton'^ (Elias-, Richard'), born in Portsmouth
and lived on his father's farm and worked as cooper. With others
he took a deed of goods, tools, and stock, Feb. 12, 1767. He
bought twenty acres of land in Portsmouth of his father for £50,
July 9, 1771 ; and twelve years later bought the " remaining
two-fifths" of fifty acres of land in Portsmouth for £22, 10s.
In 1785 he bought a quit claim of fifty acres in Portsmouth
(probably the above) . He joined with his brothers in a deed
of part of his father's farm, Mar. 2, 1789, and in 1793 he bought
from Ruth Tarlton, daughter of his brother Joseph, her s-hare of
the farm for i£39, 12s. He made his will Mar. 3, 1799, making
bequests to his wife Mary, his son Benjamin, his daughter Molly,
and his daughter " Hannah Bab." It is not likely he had other
children then living. The will was proved Oct. 20, 1813.

CHILDREN BORN IN PORTSMOUTH.

i. Benjamin, b. 1779 ; d. June, 1842.
ii. Molly,
iii. Hannah.

EARLY SETTLERS. 45

Jan. 24, 1829, the son Benjamin, " of P. husbandman," sold
for $93 land in Portsmouth " being i part once owned by Elias
Tarlton and afterward owned by Ruth, heir of Joseph Tarlton,
formerly of Rye, deceased, and conveyed by Ruth to my father
Benjamin, Mar. 20, 1793." It "lies between the shares of
Elias and John." The northern part of the old farm went out of
the family name Dec. 22, 1833, when Benjamin sold fifty-two
acres with buildings to William and S. W. Whidden for $723.
This land is now owned by vS. S. Whidden, son of William, who
remembers Benjamin amd thinks he died, unmarried, between
1840 and 1850. Benjamin served as a private in Capt. William
Marshall's company of "Sea Fencibles ", from May 27 to Nov.
27, 1813, and from Apr. 1(3 to July 17, 1814, at New Castle.

The Portsmouth Journal of Jan. 5, 1828, gives the death of
" Miss Mary Tarlton aged 65," and this may be the Molly men-
tioned before. The Portsmouth Journal of June 11, 1842, gives
the death of " Mr. Benj. Tarlton aged 63 of Lafayette Road."
Of " Hannah Bab " nothing more is certainly known. If " Bab "
was her middle name, she may be the one given in the census
list of Portsmouth, 1850, as Hannah Tarlton, aged 77.

38. John Tarlton"' (Elias-, Richard^), born in Portsmouth,
and seems to have lived and died on his father's farm. He sells
twelve acres of land in Portsmouth, with barn on said land, and
one third part (all he owns) of the house where he lives, and all
his stock and utensils to his son, Daniel Tarlton, for Si, 000, Nov.
7, 1809. No wife joins in the deed, but in the Portsmouth Journal
of Mar. 18, 1826, is the notice: " Died suddenly Mrs. Abigail
widow of Mr. John Tarlton, aged 82."

Daniel, b. 1785(?) ; d. Jan. — 1849, aged 61.

Daniel sold this land to Amos S. Parsons for $200, Apr. 10,
1821, " also my share of the house and land where I now dwell
near said land, and being all the land I own." Jan. 8, 1849,
he again quit his claim to the dwelling house, " reserving to
myself the right of living in said dwelling house during my
natural life, or until I shall cease to live therein." There is no
record of his mai-riage.

46 TAKLETONS OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.

38. Richard TARLTON''(Elias-, RichartV), born in Portsmouth.
It seems likely tliat he lived in Greenland, adjoining Portsmouth,
for June 2G, 1775, with fifty-iive others, he signs the following
petition: ^ ^»,c^^ (L . «y^ ^^ <^v ^"X^^^T

He also signs petitions from Greenland in 1783 and 1789.
Neither names nor dates can be given for any of his family with
certainty. An " Indenture " is recorded between "Thomas
Packer of G. husbandman and Molly Tarlton of G. Spinster,"
Dec. 5, 1771) : " whereas mai-riage is intended and proposed
shortly to be solemnized " they sign a contract in regard to prop-
erty. She was very likely a daughter of Richard. (State
Papers, Vol. 12, p. 69.)

In the family history of Leonard Weeks is given the marriage
of Walter Weeks and Sarah Tarleton, of Greenland, and it is
likely she was either daughter or granddaughter of Richard.

38. Joseph Tarlton" (Elias-, Richard^), born in Portsmouth.

Joseph Tarlton and Comfort Tarlton, of Portsmouth, " yeo-
man and spinster," sell one acre of land in Portsmouth, Apr. 4,
1788. He probably moved to Rye and died soon after, for his
daughter Ruth signs the deed of Dec. 2, 1789, and Mar. 19,

1793, she sells to her uncle " i part of land owned by Elias
Tarlton, which came to me as being the heir of Joseph Tarlton,

Ruth. No record of her birth, marriage, or death.
Comfort was probably a sister, possibly a niece of Joseph.

38. James Tarlton'^ (P^lias-, Richard^), born in Portsmouth;
date unknown. All particulars of liis marriage are lost. He
was a cooper by trade and also a farmer. He signed a petition
for a road in 1764 ; bouglit two acres of land in Portsmouth'in
1768; two acres of " cedar swamp" in 1770, and one-seventh
of his father's farm in 1781), where he probably lived. Date of
death cannot be found.

Perhaps others.

Lydia and Ruth, of Portsmouth, " single women," sell twelve
acres of land in Poi-tsmouth (part of their grandfather's farm) ,
with their right of the building on the same, being "• all the land
they owned," June 4, 1839, and in 1847, they sell four acres of
land in Portsmouth. They probably spent most of their lives on
the farm wliere they and their father were born and where their
grandfather Elias" lived and died.

o

44. Mary Tarlton'*, born in Portsmontli ( ?) , about 1743.
Probably a daughter of Elias^. Married about 176.5, Abraham
Libby * (1739-171)9) of Rye, as his second wife. He was a
farmer in Rye, afterwards kept tavern, and about 1789 removed
to Chester, where he died. He was a sergeant in Capt. Joseph
Parsons's company of state troops in the Revolution. After his
death his widow lived with her son, Joseph, in Gilford till 1833,
and then with her daughter in North Sandwich, where she died
June 3, 1836, aged nearly 93.

STRAY NAMES.

Tlie following names are found in various places with no clue
to the names of their parents, their brothers and sisters, or their
children, if anv. It is certain they are not of the first or second
generation, and almost certain thev are not of the third, and so
must belong to the fourth or fifth. Some are very likely descend-
ants of Richard", by his son, Richard'', although there is no
record of his marriage or family.

Isaac Tarlton, private, enlisted July 6, 1780; discharged Oct.
20, 1780; time of service, three months, fifteen days; rate per

sage from New Orleans to Havre, Mr. William A. Tarlton, aged

ELIAS BRANCH.

41. Elias Tarlton^ (Elias-, Richard').

[Note. The followin<!; item copied from the New Hampshire
Gazette, Dec. 10, 1811, came too late for insertion in its proper
place and so is given liere.]

" Died in this town on the 2'' inst Mr. Elias Tarlton aged KG.
His posterity were seven children, fifty-five grandchildren, one
hundred and ten great-grandchildren and three great-great-
grandchildren; total, one hundred and seventy-five. So he lived
to see four generations, himself making the fifth."

As the statement is made tliat Ellas'* was related to the
Sheafes, it is probable that Elias' married a Sheafe. The names
of five of his children are given on page 44, but the names of the
other two are unknown.

44. Elias Tarlton^ (Elias\ Elias', Richard'), was born
probably in Portsmouth, Oct. 14, 1749. Married, Nov. 22,
177U, Mary Randall, of New Castle. She was born .Ian. 1(5,
17.52, and was a niece of Elder Benjamin Randall, the noted
preacher and the founder of the Free Will Baptist denomination.
Elias Tarlton, " hnsbandiuan," and his wife Mary, sold one-
half acre of land in New Castle, formerly owned by her father,
John Randall, on Mar. 10, 1S21. He followed the sea enough
to be called a "mariner," and was one of the signers of the
Association Test in 1776. His wife died " after a lingering ill-
ness," Nov. 12, 182i), aged 78, and a few weeks later he also
died, Dec. 5, 1829, aged 80.

August, 1840, Ann Doyle, daughter of David and Sarah M.
(BrcAver) Doyle, of Boston. "Soon after leaving school and
before he was out of his teens he moved to Boston, and while still
a young man, commenced a sea-faring life. He made a number
of long voyages before the mast, after whicli he gave up the
business and went to work for a blacksmith on B^ulton street.
He learned the trade and continued in the business until 1849,
when he gave it up to accept a position on tiie Boston police
force. He proved himself an officer faithful in his duty, and his
courage and fearless nature, backed by the strength of a giant,
made him a man who could be depended on in any emergency.
His qualifications and ability were recognized by the heads of
the police department, and after successfully filling the berth of a
patrolman and that of a lieutenant, he was promoted in 1856 to
the captaincy of the harbor police." In 1835 he joined the

WILLIAM BRANCH,

44. William Tarlton* (Elias^ Elias'-, RicharcP), born in
Portsmouth or Rye, Nov. 23, 1752. He married, first, Betsey
Fisk (born Jan. 29, 1762; died Nov. 4, 1791); and, second,
Polly (Mary) Melvin (born June 20, 1776), daughter of Benja-
min Melvin, of Chester. His name appears in a list of those
who had improved laud in Orford in 1772, and also in a
list of the young men of Orford the same year, when he was
but twenty years old. He soon moved to the adjoining town of
Piermont, for in 1774 he was keeping a tavern on the turnpike
road in that town, five or six miles from the Connecticut river and
near a beautiful sheet of water about two miles long and nearly
a mile wide, to which he gave the name of " Tarleton Pond."
This was his home for the remainder of his life. "• He was a
man of large ability, intelligence and influence, and held many
positions of trust and honor in town, county and state." His
position of tavern keeper was one of considerable rank and
influence in those days. The old sign is now in possession of his
grandson, Amos Tarleton, who lives in the adjoining town of
Haverhill. It is made of a single oaken board, beautifully
painted. On one side at the top is the name " William Tarl-
ton," at the bottom " 1774," and between is a painting of Gen-
eral Wolf in full uniform with drawn sword. On the other
side is a representation of "Plenty."

On a pay roll of Capt. Edward Evei'itt's Company in Colonel
Bedel's Regiment, June 24, 1776, is the name Sergt. William
Tarlton. Dec. 15, 1777, he received a captain's commission in
Colonel Timothy Bedel's Regiment. This regiment was on duty
upon the upper Connecticut river frontier, "raised for frontier
duty or Continental service, as occasion might require."

farming. There is a report that he was in the Mexican war,
and died soon after his return. This would agree with the date
of his death as given in the family record, June 30, 1848. It
also agrees nearly with a notice printed in tlie Portsmouth
(N. H.) Journal that year: " Died, at Mobile, June 29th, Mr.
Benjamin F. Tarlton, aged 40, a native of New Hampshire."
But there is a letter in existence, written December, 1872, at
Prattville, Autauga county, Ala., and signed Frank I. Tarle-
ton, and the allusions to his father, William, of New Hampshire,
and to his brothers leave no doubt that he is the Benjamin F.
above. Those who could have explained the different dates have
failed to do so. His wife died in 1855.

Portsmouth in 1764. Neither the date of his first marriage,

He went to sea until he married, and was mate of a vessel at

father. He lived at three places m the town of Epsom ; first at
the end of the " New Portsmouth road," then near the church
at the " old center," and then at "Yeaton's corner " or toll gate.
After the death of his second wife his daughter kept house for
him till her marriage in 1832, and he probably lived with her
afterwards in Fisherville and Pembroke, where he died on the
evening of May 9, 1837, "after an illness of one hour and a
half."

JOHN BRANCH,

41. John Tarlton'^ (Richard-, Richard'), horn in New
Castle, Aug. 31, 1736. Married Abigail White, of New Castle,
born June 18, 1738. (See deed, 1765.) When he was
twentv-three he bouirlit from the other heirs the lot of land (No.
16) in Epsom, granted to his father (See page 31)), and owned
it during his life; his son John then bought it of the other heirs,
and some years later sold it to his brother William, who owned
and was then living on the adjoining lot (No. 17). At his
death he left it to his son and grandsons. His grandson, the
writer of this, was born there, and at one time owned a part of
this lot. A part ofl)oth lots are now owned by J. G. Chesley. At
the'^nnual town meeting in 1758, when John Tarlton was twenty-
one, lie was chosen tythingman, and held that office four years.
In 1765 he was constable and surveyor of highways. The town
records of New Castle are missing from this date till 1801,
when his name appears as moderator, and in the foUowdng years
he was moderator, school committee, selectman, etc. He was
one of the signers of the "Association Test" in 1776, and
received £20 from the state in 1778 for rent and damages to his
house, which was one of "sundry houses improved as Barracks
in the years 1775 and 1776, by Capt. Parr's riflemen and other
Continental troops."

His name is found on several petitions, and lie bouglit or sold
land in New Castle in 1765-1778-1787. He was a " cord-
wainer," or shoemaker, and always lived at New Castle, prob-
ably near the Fort. At his death his son John bought from the
other heirs four lots of land in New Castle that " were the
property of the late John Tarlton, of New Castle, deceased."
One of these lots was bounded "northerly by land of the United

States, and eastward by the seaside," and the family burying
ground was in a corner of this field, near the stone wall on the
north side, some three hundred yards west from the seaside, and
one hundred yards south from the Walbach Tower. No names
or dates were placed on the headstones, and even the mounds are
now leveled. It is likely the old homestead was located near by.
His wife died in 1801, aged 68, and he died June 29, 1819,
aged 83.

TARLETONS OF MARYLAND,

EARLY SETTLERS.

When writing to persons in different parts of the country for
their genealogy, a numerous family of Tarletons was found
whose ancestors lived in Maryland. To distinguish the two
families, one is culled " New Hampshire Tarletons," and the
other "Maryland Tarletons." The southern family, like the
northern one, divides naturally into six branches, for all of this
family yet found, witli perhaps one or two exceptions, can be
traced back to one of six ancestors: Jeremiah (Catholic),
Thomas, Caleb (Virginia), John, Jeremiah (Protestant), and
Caleb (Kentucky). These six, though not of the same age,
were all living in the year 1800, and probably for twenty-five
years before and after that date. The first two were born in St.
Mary's county, a narrow stretch of land lying between the Poto-
mac river and the Chesapeake bay, in tlie most southern part of
Maryland. One of the earliest settlements 'n\ the state was
made here, of which the encyclopedias give an interesting account.
These two were Catholics, as many of their descendants are now.
The last four once liverd and were probably born near Hagarstown,
in the northern part of Maryland, and were Protestants, as most
of their descendants have been. Wliether the ancestor of these
four came from England, or from St. Mary's county, is not yet
decided, but various traditions of 'religious and political diflfer-
ences in the family, leading to a separation, and also a similarity
in names and dates, favor the latter view.

When only a part of the following wills were known, it was
supposed that these six were all dcfjcendants of James Tarlton,
who was probably the emigrant. Latei-, it was learned that there
were wills of other Tarletons on record in St. Mary's county, and

178 TARLETONS OF MAUYI.AND.

a few weeks before tlie printing of this book, the following copy
and abstracts of wills was received from the register's office,
through the kindness and liberality of Mrs. J. C. Sherley. A
study of these wills shows that the above supposition was a mis-
take, and we are forced to the confession that we know nothing
positively of the i-elation of tliese six to each other, unless
it be the accepted tradition tliat the last three were brothers.

It is now supposed, though on very slight evidence, that Jere-
miah (Catholic) was the son of James Tarlton (Will I) ; that
we know^ nothing of the ancestors of Thomas; that Caleb (Vir-
ginia) was a nephew to the last three, his father being their ehler
brother; that the last three were brothers and sous of John Tarl-
ton (AV'ill II), although Caleb (Kentucky) was born after tlie
will was made; and that this family removed from St. Mary's to
Hagarstown before 1790, as there is a record that Jeremiah
Tai-lton bought land there at that date. Not many years after,
Calel) removed to what is now West Virarinia, and the last tliree
to Kentucky. The town clerk of Hagarstown wrote in 1899 :
" There is no one of the name of Tarleton living within the
county, nor does the memory of some of our oldest citizens
recall the name."

It is probable that James Tarlton (Will I), and Thomas Tarl-
ton, who witnessed his will, and John Tarlton (Will II) were
living in Maryland near each other in 1756, but though some
think James and .John were brothers, we can learn nothing with
certainty of their relation to each other, nor when, nor where
thev were born. Nothing has vet been found to show the name
of the first Tarlton who came to Maryland, nor when he came,
nor where from. Any one with an inclination and with time and
money to spare can iind a wide field for further research here.

Many claim that the Maryland Tarltons are closely related to
the family of Colonel Tarleton, the noted British cavalrv officer
of the Revolution (page 9), Init no evidence has been found to
support this claim, and a study of English records and wills
makes the claim appear ver}* rtmprobable. The spelling of the
name is different in the two families, although this fact has but
little weight. If the ancestor of the Maryland family came to

EARLY SETTLERS. 179

St. Mary's at its first settlement, as some claim, he could not
have been a descendant of even Edward Tarleton, the great-
great-grandfather of Colonel Tarleton (page 9), for the first
settlement on the mainland of Maryland was made in 1634,
when Edward was only fourteen years old. Jf the emigrant
came to Maryland before 1650, the connection with the Liverpool
family must be quite remote, perhaps as much so as that of the
New Hampshire or London Tarltons. One tradition says the
first Maryland Tarlton came from London, which may be true,

, but has no proof.

The frame of an old looking glass bears this inscription :
"This glass belonged to Steplien Tarleton, who was my great-
grandfather, and died in the year 1687. I have had the present
frame put to it tin's 14"' of December, 1794. Charles Wood-

■ son." The grandson of Mr. Woodson, and bearing the same
name, lived in Prince Edward county, Va., in l<So6. This
Stephen Tarleton may have come to Virginia, but further infor-
mation concerning him and his descendants is lacking.

No private papers of early Tarltons in Maryland are known to
exist, and many of the ])ublic records of tliose early times have
perished in time of war and by fire, but all wills of St. Mary's
county, from 1658 to the jiresent are on record at Leouardtown,
Md. Tlie following are all of the wills made by Tarltons in this
county, and furnish the earliest positive intormation concerning
the family. Of most of these persons Ave know nothing but what
the wills give us, and it is likely there are many others of whom
not even the name is known.

SPELLING.

The name is spelled iu two ways. All who lived before 1800,
and all who have lived in Maryland, seem to have omitted the
"e." Of those now living it is believed that all members of the
Jeremiah (Cath.), Caleb (Va.), and John branches spell their
name Tarleton ; while all members of the Thomas branch, all of
Jeremiah (Prot.), except the descendants of Alfred (who take
the "e" froiu their mother), and all of the Caleb (Ky. ) branch,
except Joel C, spell their name Tarlton. AVhen using the name
in a general Avay on the following pages it is spelled Avith an "e,"
this being the oriofinal form, but the names of individuals are
spelled according to the usage of the person named, so far as
known.

So many dates and facts are missing tliat a different arrange-
ment of the names is required from tlie one used with the New
Hampshire Tarletons, and no complete and accurate charts could
be made. AU records and facts that could be obtained are here
given, but there would have been much fuller records if so many
had not failed to answer letters. The writer will be glad to
receive any corrections or additions that may be sent to him.

The cordial assistance of Hon. B. D. Tarlton, Mrs. J. C.
Sherley, Mrs. J. C Tarleton, Mrs. E. C. Bailey, and others, is
here gladly acknowledged.

J-EREMIAH (CATHOLIC) BRANCH,

Jeremiah Takleton (Catholic), born probably in St. Mary's
county, Mtl., Feb. 11, 1755, where he married Eleanor
Medley. So€rn TttW- t^t^'ne removed with his family to White
Sulphur, eight miles west of Georgetown, Scott county, Ky.,
and became a prosperous farmer. He helped to establish here a
Catholic churcli, and build a chapel, both of wliich are still in
existence. He served as first lieutenant in the Revolutionary
war. The traditions concerning his rehition to Jeremiah Tarlton
(Protestant") are conflicting. Some say he was no relation,
others that he was first cousin, and others that he was second
cousin, and one claims that he was an uncle. If this Jeremiah
is tlie one mentioned in Will I; if Jeremiah (Prot.) is the one
mentioned in Will II ; and if James and Jolm Tarlton, the
testators of those wills, were brothers, as seems probable but not
certain, then Jeremiah (Cath.) and Jeremiah (Prot.) were first
cousins. His will is on record at Georgetown. In the Catholic
burying ground at White Sulphur, now overgrown with poplar
sprouts, are three stones, with the following inscriptions :
"Jeremiah Tarleton, born Feb. 11th, 1755, died July 6th, 1826,
aged 72 yrs. ; Eleanore Tarleton, died 1845, aged 82 ; Eliza A.,
consort of Geoi'ge W. Tarleton, born Jan. 28th, died May 1st,
1848."

JEREMIAH (PROT.) BRANCH,

Jeremiah Tarlton (Prot.), born in 1761, either in St.
Mary's county, in the exti-enie southern part of Maryland, or
near Haj^arstown, in the northern part. If he is a son of' John
Tarlton (Will II), at what time his father's family made this
change of residence is not known. Jeremiali bought land near
Hagarstown in 1790, and was living at Carroll's Manor, three
miles ti-om Hagarstown, in 1800. He married, June 29, 1786,
Mary Herbert Briscoe (born 1771, d. 1848), daughter of Dr.

Ralph and — (Freeman) Briscoe. Ralph was the son of

John and Mary (Herbert) Briscoe, and the grandson of Phillip
and Susannah (Williamson) Briscoe. Susannah was the daugh-
ter of Ralph and Anne (Tarleton) Williamson, married in 1705,
and the granddaughter of Dr. John Tarleton'" (page 8). In
this way the descendants of Jei-emiah Tarlton (Prot.) are con-
nected with the family of Liverpool Tarletons mentioned on pages
8 and 9. About 1806 he removed with his family to a farm
three miles east of Georgetown, Scott county, Ky. The farm is
now owned by Henry Blackl)ui-n, and the old house is yet stand-
ing "in pretty good condition." He, with liis brother Caleb,
"joined the Continental army at an early age and served with
Greene and Morgan." The Tarltons have ever been lovers of
good horses, and it is said that Jeremiah had the best race horse in
Kentucky in his time. His will was on record at Georgetown,
but afterward perished in the flames. He died of cholera in 1833,

aged 72.

CALEB (KY,) BRANCH,

Caleb Tarlton (of Kentucky) was a younger brother of
Jeremiah (Prot.), and is said to have been with him in the Con-
tinental army. He was born at Hagarstown, or possibly in
St. Mary's county, Md., and married Nancy Bean. He removed
from Hagarstown about the same time as his brother Jeremiah,
1806, and bought a farm of one hundred and eight acres, adjoin-
ing his, three miles east of Georgetown, Scott county, Ky., and
one mile from what is now known as Johnson's Mill. The Mid-
land railroad now runs through this tract. In 1829 he sold this
farm and bought one hundred and sixty-four and one-half acres
in the adjoining county of Fayette, and built a house which is
now occupied by his granddaughter. Two years later he bought
more land, and here he lived till his death in 1S41. His widow
died two years later. Their first three children were born at
Hagarstown, the others in Kentucky.

THE JOHN TARLTON UNIVERSITY
• OF TEXAS,

A college with the above name is to be opened at Austin,
Texas. John Tarlton is described as an "eccentric old fellow,"
whose early life is not known, but who lived from about 1855 to
1875 in Knoxville, Tenn. ; then went to Texas, married, was
divorced, lived almost a hermit, and finally died near 1895 at
Granbury, Texas. He had a large property in estates and bonds,
and having no heirs, left it by will to found a college. James J.
Tarleton, from whom we have most of this account, heard of liis
name and habits through his bank correspondent at Granbury,
and wrote to him on account of a common name, hoping to cheer
up a sad and lonely life, but the letter was never answered, and
the old man died a recluse and alone. He probably belongs to
the Maryland family, though just how he is related is not known.
An unsuccessful effort has been made to learn the present condi-
tion of the college. The city clerk of Austin writes, under date
of Sept. 25, 1900, that he has never heard of any such insti-
tution.

TARLETONS OF IRELAND,

TARLETON FAMILY OF CLONMIN, COUNTY OF FER-
MANAGH, IRELAND.

[Note : *The following sketch comes from a member of this
family. Comparing this account of Colonel Tarleton with the
one of Colonel Banastre Tarleton, on page 9, and it seems proba-
ble that there were two British officers with this name and rank
whose history has become somewhat mixed.]

No regular written records have been kept of this branch of
the Tarleton family, but the earliest traditions point conclusively
to the founder as coming over from Normandy, with William,
Duke of Normandy, when he invaded England in. 1066. The
name is occasionally mentioned in history as army officer or court
attendant. At the outbreak of the American Revolution, Colonel
Tarleton Avas sent out as a British cavali-y officer to fight in the
Carolinas. When this war closed he was sent to Ireland, which
was then in a disturbed state. The trouble here between the
different religious parties was often very violent. It is not quite
clear at what time he left the army, but we next find liim occupy-
ing a large tract of land in the west of Ireland.

His wife died shortly after the birth of her second son, William.
The name of the eldest son was Henry. The colonel was after-
ward murdered by a mob that was let into his house at night by
treacherous servants. Armed only with his sword he killed one
and wounded several of his assailants before he w^as overcome.

His eldest son, Henry, afterward joined the army and is lost to
history. WiUiam, his other son, went to the nyrth of Ireland,
where there were large colonies of English and Scotch settlers.
Here he settled on a farm called Clonmin, in the county of Fer-
managh ; he was also a captain of a company of yeoman soldiers.

228 TARLKTONS OF lUKLAND,

He iiinrried Mavsaret T)oii<rlierty, and had a family of four sons:
James, William, .lolin and Isaac, and one daughter. He lived to
be ninetv-iiine vears old and his wife one hundred and (nie. He
was five feet eight inches u\ height and strongly built.

His daughter married an artist by the name of Ryan and has a
large family, most of whom are living in New York. One of
the family, John T. Ryan, is a prominent politician in New York
city.

James Tarlkton married and went to Australia about 1840;
the faniilv have lost all trace of him, but think he died without
issue.

William Tarlkton married Miss Woods and had two sons :
John, who married Miss Hutchison and had one boy and two
girls, and Robert, who married Miss Armstrong but had no issue.

John Takletox married Fanny Russel and had seven child-
ren : James, John, William, Margaret, Fanny, Elizabeth, and
Jemima. Most of these are yet alive in various parts of the
world.

Isaac Tarleton married Jane Swindell and had a family of
three sons and four daughters. He was born about 1810 and
both he and his wife are now living (May, I'.IOO) on the old farm
in Clonmin over ninety years of age. Their children are : Chaides,
John J., William, Mary Anne, Margaret, Elizabeth, and Caroline.

i. Charles Tarleton, son of Isaac, came to America in 1861
or 1862, and soon after enlisted in the Fourth Iowa Cavalry,
from which he was discharged in 1865. He died of malaria
fever in Tennessee, July, 1898, liis wife having died some years
previous. They left one daughter named Mai'garet.

ii. John J. Tarlton, son of Isaac, came to Amei'ica in 1867,
when he was seventeen years old, and entered the grocery busi-
ness in the emi«loy of Albro Brothers. He remained with them
three years and then spent two years in traveling through the
western countrv ; returning to New York citv, he engaged with a

TAKLETON FAMILY OF CLONMIN- 229

partner in the grocery business, but three years hitcr the partner-
ship was dissolved. For several years he has been doing busi-
ness as a wholesale grocer at 679 to 681 Hudson street, New
York city. In 1879 he married Mary Delany, who died Dec. 8,
1897, leaving two children, John William, l)orn 1880, and
Mabel, born 1884.

iii. William Tarleton, son of Isaac, and his sisters are now
living in Ireland. He is umnarried and living on the old farm in
Clonmin.

The Tarletons of Ireland have always used the "e" in their
name, excepting John J., who now omits the "• e," not seeing
the need of it.

TARLTONS IN MONTREAL P. Q.

The followiug abstract of a letter may be of interest :

Montreal, P. Q., Feb. 20, 1897.
Dear Sir :

In answer to inquiry regarding our ancestry, ray father's name
was William, and he was sixty years of age when he died and
left a family of tliree boys and tliree girls. They are all dead
but the one who is writing to you. I cannot tell my grandfather's
name — only heard he was a soldier in the British army. I came
out to Canada in 1858, and have a son and danghter named Wil-
liam and Jane. Mv ancestors came from Ireland, but belonsred
to England originally. * * * We are a working but respect-
able people. My son (living in Montreal) * * * j^^s been
hill clerk with a coal merchant in Scotland, in one place for about
twenty years, and has the best of testimonials. * * *

Yours truly,

John Tarlton.

In a newspaper soon after was this item : " Died at Montreal,
Apr. 9, 18i)7, John Tarlton, 80 years." Probably the writer of
the above letter, and perhaps his father was the William men-
tioned in the preceding page as a son of Colonel Tarleton. There
are other Tarltons living in Montreal, from whom we have not
heard.
