Galton was born at The Larches, a large house in the Sparkbrook area of Birmingham, England, built on the site of Fair Hill, the former home of Joseph Priestley, which the botanist William Withering had renamed. He was Charles Darwins halfcousin, sharing the common grandparent Erasmus Darwin. His father was Samuel Tertius Galton, son of Samuel John Galton. The Galtons were famous and highly successful Quaker gunmanufacturers and bankers, while the Darwins were distinguished in medicine and science.
