Thomas (The slave trade: the story of the Atlantic slave trade, 1440-1870) says the ship was named after Banastre Tarleton, but he provides no evidence for this. It is more likely to have been named for Banastre Parker. (See article about the Banastre) The link to the article about the ship Banastre it’s worth keeping for its link to the Tarleton family, but I will delete the reference to Banastre Tarleton.

Tarleton wives

edit

Jane and Bridget were beneficiaries of the slave trade and, as such, are listed in the slave voyages database. However, given the role of women at the time, I excuse them. (Any well-off husband in Liverpool was probably involved in the slave trade in some way.) Jane is also the link with Banastre Parker. Banastre Tarleton is excused because he was a child at the time. (For accuracy, I will rephrase his role in another edit.) I have an illustration of the Tarleton genealogy for the article about Banastre Tarleton.
