Notes
The Stapleton baronetcy, of Carlton, Yorkshire, was created on 20 March 1661/2 (Old Style) for Miles Stapleton (1626-1707), the son of Gilbert Stapleton of Carlton.
He bought Drax and Berwick Hill and married twice, though all of his three children died prematurely. Miles Stapleton has left a reasonable number of papers including the earliest letters in the family archive. He was a recusant who was tried for complicity in the Popish Plot and acquitted by a jury of Yorkshire gentry who also acquitted a member of the Tempest family. A kinsman, father Thomas Thwing, was hanged, drawn and quartered making him the last Catholic priest to be martyred in England, in 1680.
