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 called "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, with 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 Potomac river and the Chesapeake bay, in the most southern part of Maryland. One of the earliest settlements in 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 lived and were probably born near Hagarstown, in the northern part of Maryland, and were Protestants, as most of their descendants have been. Whether 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 differences 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 descendants of James Tarlton, who was probably the emigrant. Later, it was learned that there were wills of other Tarletons on record in St. Mary's county, and |
