Source: John Earle (1674-1749) came to Liverpool from Warrington in 1688, and by 1700 had established his own business trading in various commodities including an interest in the slave trade, which would continue in the family for over a century. John was Mayor of Liverpool in 1709. His youngest son William (1721-1788) became captain of the slave ship Chesterfield in 1751. John’s grandson Thomas (1754-1822) and his sons continued the family business, and in the 1830s the family acquired additional plantations in Guyana (formerly British Guiana). Hardman Earle (1792-1877) was John’s great-grandson. From here
