Barton is a town on the side of the river Humber very near to Hull. The bank was begun by Jospeh
Pease and others including Thomas Marris. The Pease family name was, 'one of the great Quaker
industrial families of the nineteenth century, who played a leading role in philanthropic and
humanitarian interests. They were involved in banking, railways, mining and politics'. Thomas
Marris was an attorney. It is likely his only brother became a vicar, and two of his three sisters
married vicars.
