General Notes

Beorge Talbot entered upon his inheritance of Carr Hall about 1645 under unfavorable conditions and in troublous times.  In addition to the mortgages placed on Carr hall by his father and grandfather, the estate was subject to further fines by Parliament.  In addition to this, George was unwise enough to join the Royalist uprising in 1651 under King Charles II, and the Royalists were defeated.  For his participation in this rebellion, the Carr Hall estate wa sequestered by Parliament and subject to additional fines.  To clear his estate, in 1657, he deeded it to his second cousin, Edward Braddyll for a term of 31 years.  So from 1657 to 1685, George was totally out of possession of the Carr estate.  During this period he lived at Preston, Lancaster fro9m 1674 to 1676.  It was during this period at Lancaster that his son, Peter George Talbot sailed to Am,erica.  For a few years previous to 1682, he lived in Ireland where his mother's relatives, the Carletons, had settled.  he broght a chancery suit in 1682 against Edward Braddyll, by which he redeemed his ancestral estate of Carr Hall in 1685, which he thereafter possessed and occupied until his death in 1709.
