• Notes

  The lease of Wester Tartraven was granted, to John, in 1802 at a rent of 35 pounds. This lease was renewed for 20 years in 1820. This then takes us to 1840 when John died. There are no records as to who leased it from 1840 until 1847 when records show John's son, Robert, in possesion. ------ From Source Attached To: Occupation ------ Death Cert, Cit.
