Sev eral years ago I wa s asked a qu es ti on con cern ing my
ances tors wh ich I could rio t an swer , and i n tryi ng to find the
answer,I was surpri sed to learn how l it tl e I knew about th e
Tarleton fami ly . The relativ es wi th whom I talked were bu t
l i ttl e be tter informed . Abou t that time I saw sev eral p ubli shed
family h i stor i es , an d wi shed that some on e wou ld do for our
fami ly what o thers had done for th eirs . A s n o on e e lse seemed
i ncl i n ed to do so , I finally dec id ed to make the attempt myself.
O f the time , effort , and expen se gi ven to th i s work I need no t
Speak ; tho se who hav e had some experi ence w i ll real i z e what i t
has cost ; others can not , even if told . But I have also found
m uch O f i n terest and p leasure i n the work , and , better sti l l , have
fo und many pleasan t acquain tance s among my far-off cous in s .
Most O f thos e to whom I have written hav e taken some i n tere s t
i n the fami ly name and hi story , and sen t me the record s i n
thei r memory and possess i on ; a few hav e gi ven cord ial and
cons id erable h elp . To al l I herew i th ext end my thanks for the ir
assi s tan ce .
O f cours e I cannot v ouch for the accuracy of th es e record s .
I have on ly t ri ed to giv e them j us t as they were giv en to me,
excep t i n a few case s of ev iden t mi stake . When d ifferen t date s
have been rece i v ed , I hav e sometimes gi ven both and sometime s
the on e that seemed mos t l ikely .
Most O f the hi s tory O f the fam i ly for th e firs t hundred
years in th i s coun try has come from the publ i shed S tate and
Town Papers of N ew Hampsh ire and from th e co unty record s a t
Exeter , N . H ., wi th a l i tt l e help from hi s tori e s O f towns and
coun ti es , and from old n ewspapers . Our an c estors were n o t
l i terary , and hav e left scarce ly anyth i ng i n wri ti ng,excep t the
record s i n the Fami ly Bibl e , and even thes e are scan ty .
I am aware that the arrangemen t O f these records i s both
unu sual and i l logical . I began th i s col le ct ion by wri ti ng to
those l iv ing , and trac ing backward I came to S ix person s , back
6 PREFACE .
of whom I cou ld not go for some t ime . A s there seemed to bes ix separate groups not far from the same s i ze
,and each group
know ing somethi ng of i t s own members an d not much of the
others , I came to sp eak and wri te of the s ix branches — Sti leman ,Elias , I V
Illiam, Joseph , James , and John . Afterward s I found
that the fi rst four were son s of Elias3 , and that a more logi cal
arrangemen t wou ld hav e been i n to thre e branch es —Elias‘
3
Jamesg, and John
3; yet I dec ided not. to chan g e from my fi rst.
p lan . I hav e given the records of th e first two or three
gen erati on s fi rst , and then fol lowed wi th these s ix branches i n
genealogi cal order .
I have giv en most O f my spare t i me an d some money to th i s
work for four years . Perhaps more t ime and m onev would hav e
given better resu lts , bu t I have don e th e bes t my c ircumstances
wou ld allow . Mistakes w i ll be fou nd . for i t i s almost imposs ibl e
t o avo id them in a work O f th i s k ind ; imperfect-i on s yo u wi l l expect
to find,but probably not as manv as I have found .
”
If th i s l itt le
book shal l g iv e in tere st an d p leasure to any ; if i t. shal l lesse n
our s elfi shn es s and w i den our sympath i es ; i f i t shal l make us
more thoughtfu l of those who hav e gon e before us . and so more
worthy O f being remembered and lov ed by those who come after
u s , I sha l l n ot regret what it has cos t me .
Rev . Jacob Chapman , the compi ler of five fam i ly h i s tor ie s ,
w e ll says : We are deeply indebted to others w ho have gon e
before us for what we hav e and for what we are . If w e deny
our Obl igati on s to them ,we exhib i t. our ingrati t ude and our
fol ly .Every one who has l ived a decen t l ife des ires to be
remembered,and espec ial ly by h i s re lati v e s , and we are not
follow ing the Golden Rule un les s we also cher i sh the memory of
our ancestors .
And now I close w ith a cordi al greet ing to everv member an d
conn ecti on O f our fami ly , and with the earnest d es ire that ev ery
name may be written in th e Lamb ’ s book of l ife ,” so that when
the records are final ly exam in ed we shall al l hav e an entran ce to
our Fath er’ s home i n heaven .

EARLY TARLTONS IN LONDON .
The early home of the T arletons was n ear L iverpoo l , and the
eldest son s,as he irs O f the estates , have l i ved n ear there un ti l
recen t t imes ; but there were other members of the fami ly l iv i ng
in other part s O f England , especial ly i n London , before 1600.
R i chard T a rltona‘e was an actor i n London at the time Shakes
peare wro te h i s p lays . On e wri t i ng at that t ime and nam ing
the great men of England , excu ses h imself for mentio n ing “ stage
players by say ing that excel lence in th e meanes t th ings
deserv es remembrance .
’ He names R i chard Bourbridge and
Edward A l l en , two su ch ac tors as no age mu st ev er look to see
the like ; and to make the i r comedi e s compleat R i chard Tarleton ,who for th e Part called the C lown
’
s Part n ever had hi s match,
he names Will i am3 , 2 )n ever w i ll h av e . For “ wri ters O f p lays
Shakespeare and Benj ami n John son . If T arleton’
s profess io n
gives h im no great honor,hi s associ ate s may at l eas t sav e h im
from con tempt . A no ther wri ter says of h im :“ O ur Tarleton
was master of h i s faculty . When Q ueen Eli zabeth was s er iou s
( I dare not say sul len ) and ou t of good humor , he could
un -dumpi sh her at h i s w i l l . ” His name also appears as author
of sev eral smal l books . He was born at Condov er , Shropsh ire ,abou t one hundred m i le s n orthwest of London , and d ied in
15 8 8 , probably in London . If hi s man ners and morals were
rather too free ev en for hi s t imes,we may hope that hi s p rofes sed
repentan c e and reform were genu i ne .
The Harleian ‘ Soci ety of England has publ ished more than
twenty vol umes , con si st i ng of copi e s o f the Pari sh Record s bf
ch ri s ten ings , marr iages , an d buri al s i n d ifferen t pari shes i n

were person s of recogn i zed soc ial pos i ti on . The original
re cord s wou ld probably give more i nformation,but be ing out of
reach these cop i e s have been used .
The name of Tarl eton firs t appears on these record s at the
bu r ial of I'Vi lliam Tarleton , Feb . 6 , 158 8 , i n S t . James Pari sh ,Clerkenwell ( then a suburb O f London ) . Margaret Tarleton
was m arried i n the s ame paris h the next year,and another

appears on thes e record s on ly thes e three t imes before 1600, but“
in the n ext hundred years i t occurs more than th i rty t imes .

SPELL ING.
The name first o ccurs as Walter de Tarleton , Adam de Tarle

had been . dropped . The T a rletons of L i verpool h av e always
reta ined the “ e ,” bu t th e Tarlton s o f Lo ndon general ly omi tted
the “ e ” after 1600. The early settl ers in N ew Hampsh ire,
and in Maryland , omitted th e “ e , wh ic h i s on e ev iden ce that
th ey both came from London . Those who l iv e in N ew Castle,
and i n S t . Mary ’ s county , Md . , now omit th e e .
” There i s
no ev iden ce that members of e i th er fami ly i n th is coun try used
the e unt i l after 1800; but s in ce then i t h as been gradual ly

F IRST NAM ES.
Several names occu r so often,esp ecially i n the earl ier h i story
,
that they may be con s idered fami ly names . The most note
worthy O f thes e i s Elia s . The father of Ruth ( Sti leman ) Tarl
ton was named El ias ; so was her grandfath er , and her great
grandfather , and probably back st i l l further . Sh e named her
first ch i ld Elias , and there has been an Elias Tarlton in d ire c t
descen t ever s i n ce . Each of them has made New Cast l e h is
home for a part of hi s l ife , and al l bu t th e first two for nearly
all of th ei r l i ve s . E lia sT , E liass, and Elias
", grandfather , father ,
and son , are now l i v i ng on the i s land , near the home of th e ir
ancestors . A look at the in dex shows the part i al i ty for B ib le
n ames,whi le k ing R i chard
,and Wi ll iam , an d George , and
John , an d our own pres i dents , are not forgotten . The name O f
Sti leman Tarlto n ( somet imes spelled Stilman ) , born e by at least
three p erson s , po ints back to the emigrant’ s wife . Mary occurs
twenty- s ix t imes , John twenty-four t imes , IVi lliam twen ty-one
times , and George twenty t imes .
Some were sati sfied w ith two names , but most h av e a m idd le
name ; and one was so generous he gav e each of h i s four ch il
dren two middle names .
RESIDENCE .
O f th e res idence O f R i chard Tarl ton ‘
, th e emigran t , before he
came to th i s cou n try,noth ing i s pos i t i ve ly known , altho ugh there
are some reason s for th i nk ing that he l i ved i n London . After
h e came to Great I sland ( or N ew Cast le , as i t i s n ow cal led ) , he
l iv ed very n ear to Fort Poin t , and h ere h i s four ch i ldren , Elias ,Wil li am
,R i chard , and R uth , were born . There i s a trad i ti on
common i n th e fami ly that “ th ere were three brothers who
came from England ; one settled in Portsmouth , on e i n
N ew Castle , and one wen t s outh .
” This does not agree wi th
the re cords at al l , but if se father i s i n serted in the blank
space abov e , i t agrees exac tly . Elias Tarl to n2 removed about
17 20 to a farm in Portsmouth some three an d a half mi le s from
the ci ty,and five or s ix mi les from hi s o ld home
,where he d ied
i n 17 8 5 . The farm was own ed by h i s ch i ldren , and fi nal ly so ld by
hi s grand ch i ldren about 1840. R i chard? remained at New Castle,
and some of h i s descendants are now l iv ing near the sam e spot .
A s we can find n o further trace O f W illiamg, we accep t the
trad i t ion that he “ wen t sou th ,” but when , and where , and i f
he had a fami ly,we cannot learn . I t i s q ui te certai n lie i s no t
th e ances tor of the Tarl ton s O f St . Mary ’ s coun ty,Md . We
on ly know of R u th by her mother ’ s w i l l , and do not know if She
marri ed , nor where Sh e l i v ed , nor when sh e d ied .
Elias3 , son of Elias i’ , retu rned to N ew Castle , an d some of h i s
de scendan ts have l i ved there ever s i nce,and so hav e some of th e
descen dan ts O f John 'i, son of R i chard? These two branches
were un i ted by marriage in'
1792 , and again in 18 53 . The fi rs t
re s ulted in a n umerou s posteri ty , but the secon d d id not .
Probably non e O f th e Tarlton s ( except Wi lli am?
) l i ved ou ts i de
of N ew Castl e and the adj oi n i ng town s O f Portsmouth,Rye
,
and Green land , t i l l abou t 17 60, when Willi am4 went to Pier
mon t i n the northern part of the state . Soon afte r , h i s brother
S ti l eman" removed to w hat i s now N ewfield s , near Exeter , N . H .
22 T A R L E T O N S O F NEW H AMPSH IRE .
Accordi ng to the Un i ted S tates cen su s th ere were fifty-four
Tarlton s i n N ew Castle i n 18 50, for ty-two i n 18 60, s ev ente en
i n 18 70, an d fifteen i n 18 80. There are about a dozen l i v i ng
th ere now and a half dozen in Portsmouth,but there i s on ly one
boy under twen ty-on e i n both places to keep up the name .
Members of th e fam ily are now l i v i ng in other p art s of New
Hampshire,and in Massachu setts , Vermont , N ew York , A la
bama , Michigan , Colorado , Nebraska , Cal iforn ia , Washington ,and the Sandwich Is lands .
OCCUPATION .
The Tarleton fami ly seems to hav e been of the midd le clas s
from th e firs t . The early pari s h record s of Lon don show that
th ey were O f some social s tand ing , yet not weal thy , n or ho ld ing
importan t offi ce . The T arletons of L i verpoo l seem to hav e been
rather more promin ent . In th i s country , too , most of th e
fami ly hav e been of the common peop le . F ew have been found
i n Offi ce an d n on e i n j ai l ; few hav e been wealthy , an d on ly
three are known to hav e been in th e alm shou se , and thes e were
old p eop le , with n o ch i ldren to care for them . Many of thos e
who l i v ed in N ew Castle or Portsmouth h ave fol lowed the s ea at
l east a part O f th e ir l i v es , and Oft en had command O f v esse l s .
Many have been farmers , and sev eral have been i n trade , from
th e smal l coun try s tore to the large co tton commiss ion merchan t .
A doz en hav e been con nected w i th ra i lroads,and half as many
have been bookkeepers . There has been no lawyer n or doc tor
among th e New Hampsh ire T arletons , and on ly on e min i s ter .
Four hav e been co ll ege grad uates,and sev eral h av e been schoo l
teachers , though no on e has made teach i ng a l ife work . N o
man , and only three wom en , are known to ha ve s ign ed the i r
n ame w i th a X , which i s unu sual for a hi s tory of two hundred
years . Many have been members of some churc h , but more
h ave not . A few have been strong temperan ce men,but many
fol lowed the cu stoms O f early times , a nd drank more or le s s New
England rum ; s ev eral inj ured , and some ru i n ed themselv es by
strong drink . On the whole , i t i s p erhaps an average fami ly of
th e early N ew Hampsh ire settlers and the ir d escendan ts .

ENGLISH ESTATES .
Rumors of great wealth i n England that be longed to he irs i n
Ameri ca hav e d i s turbed our fami ly as they have others . In
18 7 2 , Rev . J . W . Tarleton was notifi ed by an agent for fO I eign
claims that th ere was an adv erti sement for the he irs to a Tarleton
es tate in England , and that if he co uld prov e h i s rela tion , he
wou ld doubtl ess rece iv e th e money . O ld letters Show that he at
on ce began the col lection of the fam i ly records , but how long h e
con tin ued , and what resu lts he Obtained , i s n o t known , for none
of h i s records can be found . As he seems to hav e accepted the
erroneou s statemen t made i n the H istory O f R ockingham and
Strafford Count i es ,”18 8 2 , th at El ias Tarlton (father O f
’
Wi lliamSti leman
,and Josep h ) was the emigran t , he certain ly d id not
trace ou r an cestry back to England .
Willi am A . Tarl ton , O f N ew Castle , i s said to hav e u nder
taken the same work for th e sam e p urpose , but at what time i s
n ot stated . The exten t of h i s work i s n ot known , as h i s wr i tten
records cannot be found . The wri ter of thi s has found i t d iffi cu l t
to conv in ce some that h e was n ot engaged i n th i s work for the

rumors origin ated wi th the claim agents,i f Amos Tarle ton h ad

If any of our fami ly i n th i s coun try hav e great expectations O f
becoming rich in th i s way, le t them remember th at there are
T arletons i n England more nearly related than we are ; that i t is
v ery doubtfu l i f al l our ance stry can ever be proved by the

a few weeks before the pri n t ing of th i s book,the following copy
and abstrac ts of will s was recei ved from the regi s ter ’ s office,
through th e ki ndn es s and l iberal ity of Mrs . J . C . Sherley . A
s tudy of th ese wi ll s shows that th e abov e suppo s i ti on was a m i s
take,and we a re forc ed to the confess ion that we kn ow n oth ing
pos it ively of the relati o n of thes e S ix to each other,unle ss
i t be the accepted tradi tion that th e last three w ere brothers .
I t i s now supposed , though on v ery sl igh t ev idence , that J ere
m iah (Cathol ic ) was the son of James Ta rlton (Will I ) ; that
we know noth ing of th e an cestors of Thomas ; that Caleb (Vir
gin ia ) was a n ephew to the last three , hi s father be ing the i r e ld er
brother ; t hat the last th ree were brothers and son s o f John Ta rl
ton ( lVi ll II ) , al though Caleb (Kentucky ) was born after the
wi l l was made ; an d that th i s family removed from St . l\Iary’
s to
Hagarstow n before 1790, as there i s a record that J erem iah
Tarl ton bought land there at t hat date . Not many years after ,Caleb removed to what i s n ow West Virgin ia
,and the las t t hree
to Ken tucky . The town clerk of Hagarstown wrote in 1899 '
“ There i s n o on e of the n ame of Tarleton l iv ing wi th in th e
co unty , nor does the memory of some of o ur o ldes t c i t i z en s
recal l th e n ame .
”
I t i s probable that Jam es Tarlton (Will I ) and Thomas Tarl
ton , who w i tnessed h i s w i l l , and John Tarlton (Will II ) were
l i v ing i n Maryland near each other in 17 5 6 , bu t though some
th ink James and John were brothers , we can learn n othing w ith
certain ty o f the i r relati on to ea ch other,nor when , nor where
th ey were born . Noth ing has ye t been found to Show the name
of the fi rs t Tarlt on who came to Mary land , nor when he came ,n or where from . Any one w i th an in cli natio n and with t ime and
mon ey to spare can find a wide field for further research here .
Many cla im that the B'Ia i 'yland Tarlton s are closely related to
the family of Colonel Tarleton , the n oted Bri ti sh cava lry officer
of th e R evo luti on (page but no ev idence has been found to
suppor t th i s c laim,and a study of Engli sh record s an d w i ll s
makes the c laim appear very«im probabl e . The Spel li ng of the
n ame i s d ifferen t i n th e two fami l ies,although th i s fact has bu t
l i t tle we ight . If th e ancestor of th e Marylan d fam i ly came to
P
EARLY SETTLERS . 1 19
St . Mary ’ s at i ts fi rst se tt lemen t , as some claim , he could no t
have been a descendan t of even Edward Tarleton , the great
great-grandfather of Colon e l Tarleton ( page for the fi rs t
s ettlemen t. on the main land of Marylan d was made i n 1634
when Edward was on ly fourteen yea rs o ld . If the emigrant
came to Maryland before 16 50, the connec tion with the L iv erpoo l
family mu st be qu i te remote , perhaps as much so as that of the
New Hampshi re or London Tarl ton s . One trad it ion says the
fi rs t Maryland Tarl ton came from London , which may be true ,bu t has no proof,The frame of an old look i ng glass bears th i s i n scri pt io n
Th i s glass belonged to Stephen Tarleton , who was my great

S tephen Tarleton may have come to Virgin ia , but further infor
mation concern ing h im and hi s d e scendants i s la cking .
No pri vate papers of early Tarl ton s i n Maryland are known to
ex i st,and many of th e publ i c record s of th ose early times have
p eri shed i n time of war and by fire . bu t al l wi l l s of S t . Mary ’ s

Md . The follow ing are al l of the w i ll s made by Tarlton s i n th i s

O f those now li vin g i t i s bel ieved that a ll members of the

name Tarleton ; while all members of the Thomas branch , all of
Jeremiah except the descendants of A lfred (who take
the “ e ”from the ir mother ) , an d all of the Caleb (Ky. ) branch ,
except Joel C. , spell their name Tarlton . “T hen usin g the namei n a general way on the fo llow ing pages it i s spelled w ith an “ c

this being the origin al ‘
form,but the names of indi v iduals are
spelled accordi ng to the u sage of t he person named , so far as
known .
So many dates and facts are miss ing that a different arrange
