*Tun here is probably a measure of volume rather than ton weight. A tun was the name for the largest barrel available holding 292 gallons.
                                                                                                                    

**Tunpail -A wooden vessel with a hole in the bottom and a pipe that fitted into the bunghole of a barrel; it thus acted as a funnel
