Notes

Liverpool's overseas trade expanded remarkably in the eighteenth century and the Tarleton family of Liverpool contributed to and benefited substantially from this expansion. These online papers relate primarily to the careers of John Tarleton IV and his sons, who belonged to the junior or 'Bolesworth' branch of the Tarleton family, after Bolesworth Castle in Cheshire which was purchased around 1790 by Thomas, the eldest son of John IV. This residence remained in the family's hands only until 1826 when it was sold. At the time that Bolesworth was first purchased, however, the family already possessed considerable property in north-west England and the West Indies.
