41. ELIAS TARLTON (Elias2, Richard1).

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

"Died in this town on the 2a inst Mr. Elias Tarlton aged 90. His posterity were seven children, fifty-five grandchildren, one hundred and ten great-grandchildren and three great-greatgrandchildren; total, one hundred and seventy-five. So he lived

to see four generations, himself making the fifth.”

As the statement is made that Elias was related to the Sheafes, it is probable that Elias3 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", Elias2, Richard1), was born probably in Portsmouth, Oct. 14, 1749. Married, Nov. 22, 1770, Mary Randall, of New Castle. She was born Jan. 16, 1752, and was a niece of Elder Benjamin Randall, the noted preacher and the founder of the Free Will Baptist denomination. Elias Tarlton, "husbandman," and his wife Mary, sold onehalf acre of land in New Castle, formerly owned by her father, John Randall, on Mar. 16, 1821. 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 illness," Nov. 12, 1829, aged 78, and a few weeks later he also died, Dec. 5, 1829, aged 80.
