PREFACE

The compiler of this genealogy claims no credit for the assem­ bly of the data contained herein, except so far as the same has come to him through correspondence and otherwise, since the death of the Rev, Silas B. Tredway, which occurred on the 7th clay of July, 1917. For many years starting when the compiler was yet a small boy on the farm, his interest in the history of the Tredway family was aroused by the Rev. Silas B. Tredway, a distant cousin of his father, Crispen Tredway, who then resided near Warsaw, Coshocton County, Ohio, while the former came from his old stamping grounds in Harford County, Maryland.

The State of Maryland and particularly the vicinity surround­ ing the City of Baltimore in that State, is the native heath of those from whom the compiler and the Rev. Silas B. Tredway, who gathered the valuable data contained in this genealogy, as well as that of Oswell G. Tredway, now an eminent lawyer in Chicag-o, and William M. Tredway, Jr:., a lawyer at Chatham, Virginia; Col. Robert Rose Treadway, of Atlanta, Ga., now in the employ of the Federal Government at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas: and of the late Judge William M. Tredway, as published in this history.

'The compiler would be very ungrateful if he stopped with the above paragraph; for data a:, given from the family of Francis Wil­ cox Tredway, former Lieutenant Governor of Ohio, and his brother Lyman H. Treadway, Vice President of the Federal Reserve Bank at Cleveland, also from many others of those descended from Nath- . aniel Tredway, the weaver who settled at Sudbury and Watertown, Massachusetts, who married Sufferana Howe, running back into the fifteenth century.

Among those deserving special mention is Frank Stillman Tred­ way, on whose information the second chapter of this genealogy is founded, and who still lives as this publication goes to press, and resides at Corpus Christi, Texas.

Also among the descendants of N athan;el Tredway who mater­ ially aided with perhaps the most accurate data reaching back into England into the most remote history of the Treiway family and those intermarried with it, is Harry E. Tredway, of Dubuque, Iowa. also still living, whose charts and long years of work in assembling the same may be seen on pages 234, 235, 236, 237, 260, 26r, 262, 263, :::64. 265, 266 and 267.

We wish also to acknowledge the valuable assistance and infor- XIV HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

Adams and John Quincy Adams, Presidents of the United States; its production of lawyers, ministers, physicians, engineers, judges and lieutenant governors of states, make even to the author after the long months of hard work, a thrilling narrative which everyone of Tredway name or blood will prize and pass on to generations yet unborn.

The exhaustive index at the end of the volume makes a ready reference to every Tredway by name or blood, simply the family name being given of those of family connection, and the given name of those of direct line, and no separation by reason of the · spelling of the name "Tredway" or "Treadway" has been observed in noting the names in the index.

From the index it will be noted that the accurate and proper orthography of the name is "Tredway."

Practically every Tredway discovered out of the City Director­ ies of 400 cities of the United States, trace their ancestors back into England. One or two, however, go back to Ireland.

History of the Tredway Family CHAPTER I

HE TREDWAY FAMILY as far as can be discovered with any degree of certainty, descended from the Saxons, Angles and Jutes, all members of the great Saxon Con- •~ federation, a rough union of Teutonic tribes effected during the fourth Century, under the Saxori hegemony, for mutual advancement and improvement.

These tribes, celebrated for naval prowess, had made several piratical expeditions to the British coast before the abandonment of the island by the Romans. According to the statement of old histories, it was the knowledge of them thus acquired by the Britons that led these latter to call upon them for aid, when, about A. D. 449, Vortigcrn, the leading British chief of the time, found himself unable to withstand the increasing inroads of the Picts 2.nd Scots, the 1xirbarous tribes living in the north of the island, By invitation the Saxon princes aided in subduing the Picts and 1he Scots. From this time the Saxons constantly poured into the island, and by gradual steps, which it is now impossible to trace, the native Britons were completely subjugated by the new people, who overspread the whole country, introduced their laws, cus­ toms, and langu;,.ge, and became the acknowledged founders of most of its future institutions. The little that is actually known of the events oi the century following the landing of the first Saxon settlers may be said to be the one fact that at different times during that period new detachments of the invaders with their chiefs, founded eight kingdoms, as follows, mentioning them in their most probable chronological order : Kent, Sussex, Wes­ sex, East Anglia, Mcrcia, Essex, Bernicia, and Deria, the last two afterward joined in Northumbria. Gradually, during the eighth Century, these became united in the alliance called the Saxon hep­ tarchy-though it should be properly called the octarchy; and finally, about 827, they were unite.cl into one· kingdom, called An­ glia, or England (A. S. Engla-land), by King Egbert of Wessex. Mercia was the fargest kingdom of the Saxon heptarchy in the icClartd of Briton. The name is derived from mark, meaning fron­ tier, as this was the most western of the three kingdoms of the Angles. It was situated inland, being bounded N. by Cambria and Northumbria; E. by East Anglia and Essex, S. by Wessex, and W. by Wales, and included the modern counties ( or Shires) of Chester, Derby, Nottingham, Lincoln, Salop, Stafford, 'Leices­ ter, Rutland, Northampton, Huntingdon, Hereford, Worcester, V,7arwick, Glouce~tcr, Oxf'ord, and Buckingiham, and parts of Hertford and Bedford. It was founded by Crida, an Angle, about 58.5, was subject for a time to the Northumbrians, and afterward subdued East Anglia and Kent. Its more important kings were 2 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

Prnda, Ethelred, Kenred, and Wigle£, who was finally conquered by Egbert, king of Wessex, about 827. The king (cyning) at this period was held in high esteem as well as in subsequent ages. The queen ( cwen) was also held in great respect; offenses against her were punished like those against the king; and she often played a ·conspicuous part in the government. Next in rank were the aethelings or nobility; and this term included in early times only the immediate family and near relatives of the king.

Just below the aetheling, and in time coming to share many of his privileges, was the ealdorman .. Officials of many kinds bore this title, but it was at first generally applied to the governor of a province, who led its forces to war and superintended its affairs in peace. This title was not in early times hereditary, but became so after the reign of Alfred the Great. The Thanes ( thegnas) com­ posed the next class and were large landowners, forming a "nobil­ ity by service," as it is called by Lappenberg, divided, according to position and immediate attachment, into king's Thanes, and subordin­ ate 'Inanes. Upon the possession of a certain amount of landed property depended generally their title; though merchants who had made three voyages of a certain length were also entitled to the rank of Thanes. The Thanes were exactly similar to the barons after the Norman conquest.

In view of the many traditions concerning the high respecta­ bility of the family, and the certain fact, substantiated by the local and general history of Rutland, Northampton, Stafford, Hunting­ don, Oxford, Buckingham, and neighboring counties, that the Tred­ ways were large landowners and proprietors, and that they were in­ ter-married with many of the noble families of the community re­ ferred to above, it is reasonable to conclude that they in early time;; belonged to the rank of the Thanes, a class of high respectability in English civilization. So from these and other records the informa­ tion is obtained that the family was of more than ordinary charac­ ter; held in high esteem, and were often called upon to fill positions of honor and trust, not only in their own local government of Rut­ landshire, and other neighboring counties where members of the family resided, but in the nationa! government as well. Church and family records which have so much to do with religious and domes­ tic life, reveal the fact that they married into and were associated with the leading families of England through a long period of his­ tory; and the family generally, wherever living, have always main­ tained a character for intelligence, industry and honesty. At what period the family established their Coat of Arms cannot now be known, but is thought to have been about the time of the Crusades, or immediately afterward, as a Turk's Head is one of its main char­ acteristics. The Family Coat of Arms was ~Jlf Argent, a Chevron azure between 91-Jte trefoils slipped Vert, Crest, a dexter hand coup­ ed below thl'.cr-{\st, in armor proper, holding a sword of the last 1 hilt, or, on the point a Turk's head couped at the neck proper. That is a silver shield, with a Chevron of blue, three cut green leaves be- HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 3 tween.Crest, a right hand cut off at the wrist, in armor proper, holcl­ ing a sword of the Court; hilt gold, on the point a Turk's head cut off at the neck proper.1 As intimated above the crest strongly indi­ cates that at some time in an early period members of the family were associated with the Army in their opposition to the military movements of the hated Turk, who at one time threatene,.,d to over­ run and subdue all Europe. The martial spirit, the spirit of war and patriotism, has always been a strong and leading characteristic of the Tredway family; and they have not only been associated with the wars of England, but have participated in every war that has taken place since the American Revolution, filling e·very office in the army, from that of private in the ranks to that of general. ~ The earliest name in particular which has been obtained of the family is that of Henry Tredway, who had a second brother, Thomas Tred­ way, residing in Ammersham, Buckinghamshire, England. Of the other brother nothing is definitely known save this brief mention in the family record. Thomas 'Tredway married a daughter of a Mr.· Dundcomb, the fruit of which union were two sons, Richard and Robert. Richard Tredway, Esq., was a barrister, or lawyer, by./ profession, one of the ''Benchers of the Inner Temple," London and Reader of that Society in the thirtieth ( 1588) and thirty-ninth ( 1597) years of Queen Elizabeth's reign. At an early date in Eng­ land the science of law was taught in the Metropolis in certain buildings near the Courts of law which were known as Inns of Court. These hostels, or hotels, were occupied by the lawyers as offices and sometimes as dwellings, and contained also schools where law was studied. But in 1346 the knights hospitallers of St. John of Jerusalem, to Vyhom the Pope had granted the English estates of the suppressed order of Knights Templar leased the buildings and gardens of the templars in London to certain students of the common law, who established in them a hotel, or Inn of Court. The place continued to be called the Temple, from its for­ mer occupants. In a short time the Inns increased to four, which still exist: viz. Inner Temple, Middle Temple, Lincoln's Inn, and Gray's Inn, each of which contained two hundred members. Stow, in his history of London says, ( 1598) of the lawyers who occupied these Inns: These Societies are no corporations, nor have any judic­ ial power over their members, but have certain orders among them­ selves which by consent have the force of laws. The gentlemen in these Societies may be divided into four ranks: first Benchers, sec­ ond utter-Benchers, third inner Barristers, fourth Students.

In the course of time two bodies were formed, called the "hon­ orable Society of the Inner Temple," arid the "honorable Society of the Middle Temple." In the hall of the inner Temple, a noble room ornamented with emblamatical paintings by Sir James Thornhill, and by portraits of Littleton and Coke, dinner is prepared for the members of the Inn every day during term time, Students of the law must keep twelve terms; that is five years at the inns of Court before they are entitled to be called to the bar, and those of the Inner Temple are required to dine at least four times in each term. 4 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

Formerly the Inner Temple was celebrated for the ma(Ynificence of its entertainments, especially in the 16th and 17th cent~ries. Here Richard Tredway matriculated as a student of common English law, donned the wig and gown, passed a term of years "in the horn books of the law," in time admitted as a "Bencher," elevated twice to the position of Reader of that Society, and finally became a man of af­ fairs in his day. So the conclusion may be reached that he was a man who lived and. moved in the higher circles of English Society. He married and had one son, Sir \;\/alter Tredway, who was mace a knight by his Sovereign for some honorable act which is nnt named.

Sir Walter Tredway married and had two daughters: Lettice, a Nun, and Elizabeth, daughter and heir apparent, who married William Stafford, Esq., of Blatherwick, County of Northampton­ shire. In passing I may notice somewhat the history of this ancient little town. Blatherwick two hundred years ago was a village of thirty-two families, and as the account goes on to say, "hath King's Cliff and finished on the East, on the North and West, W akerly and Laxton and Bulwick on the South." The Manor at that time was old, but seemed unfinished. Over the gate house was a balustrade, with stone statues. In old records it is named Blarewiche and also Blarewike, growing out of the changes I presume in orthography. At the General Survey, Norman held of Robert de two hides in Blarewiche. The arable land was six carucates, which being eighty acres to a carucate, according to Norman methods of land meas­ urement was four hundred and eighty acres. There were also sev­ enteen villanes ( serving men) with five cottagers ( farmers on the estate.) There was also a mill of XXXd. yearly rent, six acres of meadow with an extensive forest, which was rated as eighteen shillings. Sir Humphry Stafford, who became seized of a part of Blatherwick Manor by his marriage with Alianora, daughter of Sir Thomas Aylesbury, was second son, by Elizabeth, daughter and heir of -Sir John Burdet of Huncote on County of Leicestershire. Sir Humphry Stafford, Knight, the grand son of Ralph de Stafford, descended from the ancient Barons of Stafford. He was Governor of Calais and in the insurrection of Jack Cade in the 28th year of Henry the sixth, was slain with William, his brother, at Seven Oaks in the County of Kent. William Stafford, son and heir of Sir Henry Stafford, the Seventh in descent from the original Sir Henry Stafford, married Elizabeth Tredway, daughter and heir of Sir Walter Treqway of Sepringham Manor, County of Rutlandshire. Lettice, the oldest daughter of Sir Walter Tredway being a Nun and assuming the vows of obedience, poverty, and chastity, was of course deprived of her birthright. William and Elizabeth (Tred­ way) Stafford had three sons, viz. Edward, Charles and William. William died in 1637, and was succeeded in his estate by Edward, his eldest son, a minor upwards of fourteen years of age. This young gentleman outlived his father not quite a year, and dying in 1637 left Charles, his brother, heir of the estate, at the age of thir­ teen years and seven months. Further than this I have not been HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 5 able to trace the descendants of Elizabeth (Tredway) Stafford. The name of Stafford, however, is a familiar and honored name both in England and America; and this brief notice is indicative of the fact that Elizabeth Tredway held a high position in the social world in her clay and was a woman of wealth, refinement and char­ acter; and doubtless the virtues of her life and character have de­ scended to her latest posterity. The traits and disposition of tem­ perament peculiar to the Tredway family in those earlier years of their history characterize the descendants of the present generation, which shows the strength of hereditary descent, as it applies its in­ fluence to the history of families.

Robert, the second son of Thomas Tredway, and younger brother of Richard, married Margaret, daughter of Guy Fisher, Esq., of Buckden, county of Huntingdon. He had a son, John/ Tredway; who married Elizabeth, daughter of Edmund Waller, Esq. of Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire. He died May the 10th, 1610, and is buried in C,hrist's Church,, Farringdon, within London, and left the following named children ~'Robert, born at Ketton, Lincoln­ shire, was appointed one of the Commiss'i6n of the Peace for Lin­ colnshire, and was made a Knight by his Sovereign in 1653. Ed-5 mund, second son, baptized in 1595. Sarah, baptized October 2rst( 1599. Mary, baptized November the 30th, 1601, married Thomas Harsman, Esq., of Burton, Lincolnshire, and was a widow in 1634. Cecily, baptized December the 27th, 1601, died, and was buried January the 27th, 1602. ~ Cecily, baptized October 2nd, 1603, mar­ ried Evers Armyne, Esq., about 1634. Alice, baptized November the 13th, 1606. It will be observed here that John Tredway and his wife Elizabeth, had two daughters named Cecily, growing out of the fact I presume, that the first one dying in infancy, the next born being a girl was named in memory of her departed sister. Robert , Tredway, of John, married Alice, daughter of Anthony Thorald, Esq., of Hough, and had the following named children: Anthony,. son and heir apparent, William, John, Robert, Thomas, George, and Alice; all living in 1634. Alice Tredway married John Thorald, Esq., son of Sir William Thorald, Bart. Anthony Tredway mar~ ried and had two daughters, Mary and Alice.-; Mary was baptized February the 9th, 1648, and buried the second of August, 1657, at Hough, Lincolnshire. Alice, buried at Hough, Lincolnshire, August the 22nd, 1657. These two. sisters died the same month, and I presume the above record is taken from their tombstones, the only recorded information which now tells that they ever lived in the world. George Tredway, of Robert, married and had the following named children: Hester, baptized at Fulbeck, and buried at Hough, Lincolnshire, August the 2nd, 1657. - George, born June the 12th, 1658. Alice, born June the 8th, 1659. ·· Robert, baptized August the nth, 166o. Thomas, baptized January the 17th, and buried April the 2 I st, 1664.

Evers Armyne, who married Cecily, daughter of John Tred­ way, was born at Willoughby, December the 19th, 1599, and was 6 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

Justice of the Peace for the County of Rutland ( or Rutlandshire) for a number of years, besides filling other positions of honor and trust. His Will is dated October the 19th, 1677, and proved July the 5th, 1680. Five children were born to this couple, the names of whom are the following: Mary, born August 27th, 1637. Eliza­ beth, born April the 24th, 1640. Evers, born May the 25th, 16.p. Cecily, born April the 12th, 1643, and Margaret, born January the 9th, 1645. Evers Armyne was the son of Sir William Armyne, Knight, Lord of Osgotby, Sheriff of Lincolnshire, in the 44th year ( 1.602) of Queen Elizabeth's reign, and the first year of the reign of James the r st. It may be conceded then that Evers Armyne, the husband of Cecily Tredway, was a man of character and responsi­ bility in his community, although some times great men have sons, who not only amount to a very little in point of character and moral excellence, but become vagabonds in the earth and a disgrace to their parentage. Ketton, written also Chetene, and Keten, probably derives its name from the swampy situation of the village, as the little rivulet called the Chater on which it is situate, seems to do, from the swampy valleys through which it passes, for we find Chat­ mosse, a swampy tract on the borders of the river Mersey in Lanca­ shire, and Catton, upon the banks of the river Trent in Derbyshire, written in Domesday book, Chetem, in a similar situation. Accord­ ing to Thomas Blore's history of Rutlandshire ( county) the town­ ship of Ketton contains about 3122 acres and 19 perches of land, and is bounded by 'Tinwell on the east, by Easton on the southeast, by Colly-Weston on the South, by Tixover on the southwest, by Bar­ rowdon on the southwest and west, by south Leffenham on the west, and by Eclith-\i\/eston and Epingham on the North. At the time of the Conqueror's survey, Cheten was accounted in Wiceslea ( Wichly), Wapentake in Northamptonshire (county). The King then held Chetene, and where were seven hides (taxed). The land was at that time fourteen carucates. In demesne were two; and (-there were) three serving men, twelve soe-men, twenty four vil­ laines, and five borderers, with a priest, having eleven carucate.,. There was a mill of six shillings and eight-pence (yearly) and ( there were) forty acres of mesdow, and sixteen acres of poor wood. The whole was valued at the time of King Edward ( the Confessor) :it one hundred shillings, and then at ten pounds.

Ketton, it seems, was divided into five Manors: viz. I. Grene­ ham's, 2 Gray's, 3 Hutchin's, 4 Sepringham, and 5 the Prebenclal Manor. Of all these Manors Sepringham Manor is the most inter­ esting. as with it commences the first written history of the Tred­ way Family. Sepringham Manor is situated in East Hundred, Township of Ketton, Rutlandshire (county), England. Mr. Robert Luterel, Rector of the Church of Irnham in Lincolnshire, having given lands in Keten, Cotismore, and Casterton, in Rutlandshire, and Stanford in Lincolnshire, to the Prior and Convent of Sepring­ ham in Lincolnshire; the Prior and convent, with the assent of Philip, Master of their Order, acknowledged that they were bound to Robert and his heirs for those lands, to sustain three chaplams HrsTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 7 to perform divine service for the health of his soul in the following manner: viz. one secular chaplain in the parish Church of St. An­ drew of Irnham; one in the chapel of the Blessed Mary within the Manor of Stanford, which they had of the gift of Robert; and one to celebrate mass of the Blessed Mary forever in the conventual church of Sepringham; and further to maintain scholars studying divinity and philosophy at Stanford, for the augmentation of their number in the convent. Which acknowledgment was sealed with the seal of John, Bishop of Lincoln, who presided over that See from the year 1300 to the year 1319; and was witnessed by Robert de Frigesthorpe, Philip de Paunton, John de Foleville, Roger Mor­ teyn, Ralph de St. Land, and Geoffrey de Brunne, Knights; and the foundation was confirmed by the same Bishop on the 3rd. o [ the ides of November 1303. King Henry the Eighth by his letters patent, elated on the 17th of July in the 37th year of. his Reign, granted the Manor of Ketton, formerly belonging to the late Priory of Sepringham, to James Gunter, who had license to alienate this estate by the name of Ketilsthorpe Grange, in the same year, to Sir James Harington, Knight, and his heirs, which Sir James, in the r 5th year of Queen Elizabeth's Reign, was called to show by what title he held the Manor of Ketilsthorpe; and in the 36th year of Queen Elizabeth's Reign, John Harington, Knight, ( Son and heir of Sir James) had license to grant the Manor of Ketton to Richard Stace and his heirs.

This beautiful and valuable estate was afterwards the property of Robert Tredway, Esq., who, in 1623, served the office of Sheriff for this coimty (Rutlanclshire). In the 17th year of the Reign of Charles the rst. Evers Armyne, who married Cecily, daughter of John Tredway, and his wife, Elizabeth, as stated above, had with his mother-in-law (Elizabeth Tredway), lands rated here in a subsidy at six pounds. Evers Armyne was a Magistrate under Parliamentary authority, and one of the most active persons in the public business of this county at that period. His estate was esti­ mated at £ 150 per annum in 1660, and at £200 per annum in 1662. By his Will elated the 19th of October, 1677, and proved in the Praerog Court of Archbishop of Canterbury on the 5th of July, 1680, by John Bullingham, the father and gtiardian of Armyne Bul­ lingham, a minor, one of the executors, he, by the name of Evers Armyne, of Osgotbe in the county of Lincoln, Esq. gave and devised the reversion of his Manor of Ketton and Ketilsthorpe, with its ap­ purtenances in the county of Rutland, to his wife during her life; remainder to Armyne Bullingham, their grand son, and the heirs male of his body; remainder to the heirs male of the body of the tes­ tator's grand daughter, Elizabeth Sanders, daughter of Samuel San­ ders, of Ireton, in the county of Derby; remainder to his own right heirs. And the testator gave his Manors of Willoughby and Pick­ narth in Lincolnshire, to Armyne Bullingham, and heirs male of his body, with remainders as before in the Manor of Ketton, and ap­ pointed his wife and Armyne Bullingham joint Executors. John Bullingham who married one of Evers Armyne's daughters, served 8 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

the office of Sheriff of this county in 1685, as did also his son, Armyne Bullingham, Esq., in 1695; and his successor Nicholas Bul­ lingham, Esq., in 1703. It will be observed by these extracts from Wills and bequests, that the marriage of the daughters of the Tred­ way family into other families of the community, carried the pro­ perty of the Tredways into those families and so became largely lost to the name and family of Tredway; and while it seems sad that nature was more fortunate to our early ancestors at that period of the family history, it is all right ; for they secured other homes doubtless, which were just as attractive and comfortable, as those which by inheritance went into other families.

In looking through English history, family records, as well a:5 other sources of information concerning the life and character of the Tredway family, I have not been able to find any evidence of any persons who are not related directly or indirectly, to those who had their central home Rutlandshire, or Rutland County, England. It is true that members of the family, females particularly, married and made their homes in other counties, as in Lincolnshire, Northamp­ tonshire, Stafford, Derby, and other nearby communities, but the home county was that of Rutlandshire in that period of which I write. about I 538. Here then was situated near Ketton, Sepring­ ham Manor, in the centre of which was the old Manor House. with its ample rooms, its wide and spacious halls, great porches and ex­ tended lawns. Not far away were the stables for horses and cattle, and kennels for hounds; for every English landholder had his fine riding horse and pack of hounds for fox hunting, which was then, and still continues to be, one of the leading amusements of English country life; and there are few men of the Tredway family today who do not like to hear a pack of hounds in full cry, pressing Renard to his den in the earth. Blood and rank being leading characteris­ tics of the English people, the Tredways, some of whom were Knights and leading men in the county of course must have been self-respecting to a degree that made them the equals of all their friends and neighbors, which was doubtless understood and fully appreciated. I feel satisfied that the written record of the Tredwa:v Family in England has been continued and preserved by the. de­ scendants up to the present period, but owing to the lack of means to fee a barrister in the city of London, and other circumstances over which I have no control, I have been unable to come into pos­ session of copies of them, or in any way get the information which they contain. A few years since I wrote to London for information concerning family records and received the following reply.

Ge:ieral Register Office, Somerset House, London, W. C. August the 28th, 1888. Reverend Sir:- I am directed by the Register General to acknowledge the re­ ceipt of your letter without date, and to state in reply that searches such as those to which your application appears to point, cannot be undertaken at this office except on the personal application of Hrs'l'ORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 9 some one capable of identifying the desired entries when found. I am to forward to you the accompanying list, showing the Records in the custody of the Register General, and the fees payable for searches and certified copies of entries. The Paper enclosed in your letter is herewith returned. You may probably be able to de­ pute some person to attend at this office and search on your behalf, should you find on perusing the list, that the Registers here are likely to contain any of the entries on which you wish to obtain copies. I am, Reverend Sir, Your Obedient Servant, EDWARD WHITAKER, Chief Clerk. The foregoing correspondence shows that it is impossible to get from the General Register Office the information concerning fam­ ily records without personal investigation on the part of some one who is interested in the matter. I entertain the hope, however, that at some future period the opportunity will be afforded whereby the desired information can be obtained and incorporated into this family narrative, even if it only interests those pers.ons who bear the family name. Other things, however, as well as those of carefully written records give satisfactory evidence in the identity of persons and branches in the general makeup of family history. Of course in the period of England's history previous to the reign of Henry the 8th, the people were all members of the Roman Catholic Church, the Tredway Family included; but in the ecclesias­ tical issues and controversies which took place between church and state, priest and people, at that time, affecting every phase of private and public life, separated the Church in England from the Roman Catholic Church, and for reasons which do not appear in any family record the Tredway Family held to the home Church. Later an­ other division in the family took place on ecclesiastical questions and many of them became identified with the Nonconformists, among whom were the Puritans~The word Puritan came from the word pure, growing out of the fact that these people strongly opposed English Church Government and extreme ritualistic forms of wor­ ship, and sought for the simple and real truths of religious life, as set forth in primitive christianity. Representatives of these simple views of religious life and ecclesiastical government formed the bulk of the settlers of New England, from whom have descended some of the greatest men of modern times, men who have shaped the destinies of the American Republic, and shed the radiance of their wisdom and statesmanship on all English speaking peoples. Religious sentiment which grew out of extreme ritualism at that period of English Church history was very intolerant of people who loved the ways and manners of a plain and simple life, and forced many of the Puritans to leave the country and settle in other lands, as well as in the wilderness of North America.

Among the early settlers of New England from the Old Mother country was Nathaniel Tredway ( sometimes spelled Treadway) IO HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY who emigrated f.rom England to New England about the year 1635, fifteen years after the landing of the Mayflower; it is not definitely known from which particular family in England he descended; all family traditions, however, point to Rutlandshire (County) as the original home of the New England branch of the Tredway family, and he is regarded as the connecting link between the English ar,cl American branches of the Tredway Family. There is also a family tradition that Josiah Tredway, who doubtless was a younger brother to Nathaniel, came over about the same time and made his home in New England. Nathaniel Tredway was a weaver by trade, and settled first in Sudbury, Mass., and afterwards moved to Water­ town previous to 1645, where he married Sufferan~e daughter of Elder Edward Howe of that town .. He was one of the appraisers of the estate of Robert Woodward, who came over from England in 1634, and died in Watertown in 1666. Nathaniel Tredway was of a public spirit, and a man of business affairs in the town, and a person of more than ordinary intelligence, as is shown by being often called by his fellow townsmen to fill offices of trust and re­ sponsi,bility. He was chosen Selectman for Watertown in 1653, '64, 66, '69, and '72. · He and his wife lived to a ripe old age, she passing away on July 22nd, 1682, and he on July 20th, 1689. I presume their remains were interred in the church yard at Water­ town, Mass., where they spent the greater part of their married life.

His Will, made for the benefit of his sons, is dated June the 25th, 1687. Three sons were the fruit of this union: Jonathan. James and Josiah. Jonathan married Miss Judith Thurston of Medfield, March the 1st, 1666, and had born unto them eight child­ ren: Lydia, Nathaniel, Jonathan, James, Hannah, Ephraim, Huldah, and Benjamin. Jonathan Tredway, the father of these children, died at Sudbrook May the 28th, 1726. Benjamin 'Tredway (young­ est child of Jonathan and his wife Judith') married Miss Mary Maynard April the 19th, 1714, and had born in Framington, Mass., the following named children: Hannah, Mary, Abigail, Jonathan, Judith, James, and Beulah. Judith of this family married Nathaniel Severn of Narragansett. Jonathan married_ Elizabeth Hayden in 1774. Mrs. Mary (Maynard) Tredway, after she became a widow was baptized in 1758, and died in Framington November the 27th, 1766. · Josiah Tredway married Dorothy Cutler, February the 3rd, 1697, and had issue.

The following record of the original settlement of the Tredway Family, and the immediate descendants in the new world, is little more than a synoptical history with many items which might be in­ teresting to some descendants, left out; as it would make the history disproportionately lengthy. Nathaniel and Josiah Tredway came with other immigrants from England that they might establish homes for themselves and their posterity; and if we may judge of the parents by the children we may safely and readily conclude that they were men of religion, great. moral excellence, and splendid force of character, commanding the respect of all with whom they HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY II came in contact, and exerting an influence on literature, in science, and in representative government that will last as long as time endures.

. The correct orthography, or spelling of the name has not been changed since 1550 in England or America, except in two instances: one in a division of the New England branch, and one in a division of the Southern branch. The early hi:sto~f the country passed through two or three generations of illiteracy, and it is not at all surprising that the name Tredway would be written Treadway, and Treddaway, by strangers or state officials, or even by members of the family who were not deeply interested in the correct ortho­ graphy of the name they bore. As time advanced the extra a with these families was incorporated and has now become permanently fixed as the proper name of the family, but it is a modern digression and those who follow it ought to return to the original and correct orthography of the name.

By way of slight digression I might say here that the members of the family generally are of a strong social disposition, with a certain quickness of temper and positiveness; and yet a refined affableness and quaintness of humor withal, as to attract rather than to repel men. Supersensitive along the line of personal interest, but not selfish in any sense of the word. In many instances strong in intellect and the love of literary and scientific culture and refine­ ment. In past periods as well as at present many of the members of the family were and are agreeable conversationalists as well as men of literary and professional accomplishments. ·

The endowment of patriotism with its concomitant marshal spirit has always been a marked feature in the family, so that no war has existed in the time and period of the family in which they have not participated. From a private in the ranks to that of a General in the Army, they have answered the call of their country in every crisis, and the history of American warfare cannot be completely written with the military history of the Tredway Family left out. They are slow to resent an insult and unfortunately just as slow in forgiving unless an apology or explanation is made by the 9ffend­ ing party. Of a sanguine temperament generally, they look upon the bright and cheery side of life, hoping for the best under all cir- cumstances. ··

These are some of the characteristics which have marked the family for more than three hundred years, and by which they may be known today in any land and from what can be surmised they are likely to put their stamp on the generations yet to come, giving them a distinctiveness peculiar to the name. Settlements in the Connecticut Valley followed soon after the landing of the Puritans, by men from the colony as well as by immigrants directly from Eng'ancl. The first sod was turned in 1636, sixteen years after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth and six years after the Puritans located 12 HISTORY OF THE TREDW A y FAMILY in the vicinity of what is now known as Boston. On May 31st of that year the Members of the Rev. Thomas Hooker's Church at Newtown, now known as Cambridge, having disposed of their homes in the colony of Massachusetts Bay, turned, with others, their faces towards the Connecticut Valley. After a journey of two weeks, which can now be made in almost as many hours, this band. of pio­ neers crossed the Connecticut River and located on the land that was subsequently known as Hartford. Among the early settlers we find men of the Tredway Family, who felt and heeded the migra­ tory spirit so rife in that period of the early settlement of the Ameri­ can wilderness. Among the early records of the Connecticut Colony the fact is set forth that Josiah Tredway, son of J §cmes Tredway and his wife ( maiden name Biglow) of Massachusetts, married Eunice Foot, May the 13th, 1735, and had the following named children, all born in Connecticut: Josiah, Amos,-he ( Amos Tredway) is buried in Mortimer Cemetery, Middletown, Connecticut; the grave is marked with a tomb of Portland stone. The grave is on the east side of a North and South alley near the granite monument of the Walkinson family in the extreme west of the yard. The inscription is: "In memory of Mr. Amos Tredway, who died December nth, 1814. Aged 77 years."-Eliphalet, Eunice, Sarah, David, Mary Charles, James, Alpheus, Elijah, John, Lois. This family furnished a number of soldiers to the Revolutionary War, and one (David) to the seige of Quebec in 1759. Josiah, the oldest son of Josiah and Eunice Tredway, his wife, married Urana Cook the 3rd day of March, 1784, and settled in Sharon, Conn. He was thirty-nine years old when the battle of Lexington was fought, and of course in the prime of life. In a Government document filed in the Pen­ sion Office in Washington, D. C., we learn that he was a private in the Connecticut line of the Continental Army, and served in the regiment commanded by Colonel 'vVebb, from the 28th day of May, 1777, to the 28th day of May, 1780, making three years in the regu­ lar service, and this is approved by a,n accompanying certificate of Henry Kilborne, Esquire, Controller of public accounts. He died in Sharon, Conn., on the sixteenth day of November, 1814, in the seventy-ninth year of his age. He had the following named child­ ren: Uranna Tredway, born December the 24th, 1784, and died in infancy. Uranna Tredway, born May the 10th, 1786. Abigail Tredway, born January the 27th, 1788.

Sallie Tred­ way, born December the 10th, 1793, and died January the 21st, 1794. Sallie Tredway (2nd. child), born December the 12th, 1795. Har­ riet Butler Tredway, born January the 29th, 1797.

Harvey Tredway, son of Amos, of Josiah, and Eunice (Foot) Tredway, married Sallie Cotton, July the 4th, 1801, and she died May the 4th, leaving two sons: George Tredway, born April the 16th, 1802, and Richard M. Tredway, born April the 13th, 1804. Harvey Tredway (widower) then married Sallie Draper July the 5th, 1805, and had the following named children: James Harvey HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 13

Tredway, living in Chicago and Richard Blake Tredway, who was killed in April, 1876, _by falling down an elevator shaft in Chicago~

The death of Richard Tredway created a profound impression as he was a man well known in business circles, and of great public spirit. The public prints of the city gave extensive notice of his sudden death. He married the daughter of Daniel H. Marsh, a prominent lawyer of Oswego, New York, by whom he had three children. His wife having died in 1867, his children were sad orphans at his death. At a meeting of the Chicago Board of Trade held on Saturday after his death, the following Resolutions were adopted:

WHEREAS, this Board has learned with feelings of unmixed sorrow of the sudden and terrible accident which has in a moment removed. by death Richard B. Tredway, for many years associated with us as a member of this Board, and prominently engaged in the active business of this city, therefore, Resolved That in the death of Mr. Tredway this Board has been deprived of one of its oldest and most respected members; the Church of one of its most zealous children; his family of a fond and loving father; his associates of a cherished friend, and the community of a most upright and honor­ able citizen.

RESOLVED, That we extend to the fatherless and now or­ phaned children of the deceased our most heartfelt sympathy and condolence in this, their great sorrow and affliction, and do most tenderly and. confidently commend them to the care of Him w½r1 neither slumbers nor sleeps, who gathers. the lambs to his bosom, and enfolds them in his arms unto everlasting peace.

RESOLVED, that in extending to all the relatives and friends of the deceased our sympathy in this our common affliction, we would humbly call to their and our rememberance the lesson which this dispensation of Providence is intended to teach: "Be ye also ready."

RESOLVED, That these resolutions be engrossed upon the Minutes of the Board, and a copy of the same be sent to the family of the deceased.

Richard B. Tredway was very much interested in all chari­ table work of the city, ancl the following excerpt from one of the Chicago papers will give some idea of his philanthropic labors: St. Luke's is a new Chicago hospital to which liberal contributions are being made. Among the latest is one which is described in the following correspondence, which we reprint from the Chicago Journal: To the President and Directors of St. Luke's Hospital: 16 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

I herewith present you with the bookcase and two hundred and fifty volumes of books, heretofore sent by me to the hospital, as a memorial of my deceased friend, Mr. Richard B. Tredway, whose life-long generosity to the poor and needy renders it peculiarly appropriate that he could be commemorated by a monument of th1s kind. Fully sympathizing with you in the good work in which you are engaged, I am with great respect. Yours, D. Goodwin, Jr. "Chicago, July 7th, 1871. Daniel Goodwin, Esq.: Dear Sir:­ The Board of Directors of St. Luke's Hospital beg leave to ac­ knowledge your noble gift of a bookcase containing two hundred and fifty eight volumes of excellent books to St. Luke's Hospital, as a memorial of your friend, the late Richard B. Tredway. They gladly accept the gift, and will with your permission have inscribed upon the bookcase the words "The Tredway Memorial." Nothing could be more useful to our poor patients, and many an inmate of our house will bless your kindness in helping him to while away the weary hours. By order of the Board, Clinton Locke, President of St. Luke's Hospital. The following label is pasted in each volume: Tredway Memorial Library :-This volume is one of a library presented to St. Luke's Hospital, by Daniel Goodwin, Jr., ;;ts a memorial of his friend, Richard B. Tredway, who died at Chicago, April the 7th, ( 1871) aged forty years. He was a gener­ ous friend to the orphan, the destitute, the needy, and the sick. Let all such keep his memory green." Rev. Amos C. Tredway ( father of Richard B.) after his ordination organized St. Stephen's Parish in New Hartford, New York, which prospered greatly un­ der his ministerial care. He afterwards became Rector at Lewis­ ton, opposite Niagara Falls, where he preached for some years. His wife having died he went with his children to California and spent the balance of his active life in the ministry. He afterwards returned to Oswego, where he ended his days in great peace. He was an acceptable preacher, a faithful pastor, and a true friend to all who sought his counsel and wisdom. The writer has many clippings from the public prints which speak in high praise of his life and character. "Requiescat in pace." Eliphalet Tredway, third son of Josiah and Eunice (Foot) Tredway, was born at Colchester, Connecticut, April the 3rd, 1739, and died July the 21st, 1787. He married Abigail Dodge, in 1764, and had a son named Dyar Tredway, born at Colchester, Connecti­ cut, December the 24th, 1778, and died April 1845, at New Salem, New York. He married Jerusha Horey, born at Windham, Con­ necticut, September rst, 1780, and died at Russellville, New York, December the I 1th, 1825. They had the following named children: Lucy Manniry, born August the nth, 1801, at Colchester, Connec­ ticut, and married Peter Hendrickson and had one son, William Tredway Hendrickson. She died at New Salem, New York, Janu­ ary 1866.

Esq., a prominent attorney of Chicago, Illinois .. Dwight Tred­ way, born about 1843, enlisted from the 1vVisconsin University in the 23rd Wisconsin Infantry, and was promoted to Captain, and in 1866 was commissioned Brevet Major, and now ( 1908) resides in St. Louis. There are other children of this family whose names I have not been able to obtain, which I very much regret. The following letter from General William Tredway will be inter­ esting:

"Madison, vVisconsin, September the 23rd, 1886. Silas B. Tred­ way, Dear Sir :-Your very interesting letter of the 20th instant was received this morning. I have for many years past gathered information in regard to the history of our family, and, although your description of your "Coat of Arms" corresponds exactly with ours, showing that we are of the same stock. My descent is clear­ ly traced to Nathaniel Tredway, who was one of the Selectmen of Watertown, Massachusetts, from 1663 to 1672, and was one of the early settlers of that place. More than sixty years ago (being then in my twenty-second year), I visited David Tredway ( a brother of my grandfather, Eliphalet Tredway), then about eighty years old, and who died at the age of ninety-eight; was a seven­ teen year old soldier at the battle of Quebec, and saw General Wolf fall in battle on the plains of Abraham, September the 14th, 1759. My youngest son, Dwight Tredway, now a prominent mer­ chant of St. Louis, Mo., enlisted from our State University in his nineteenth year ( senior year) as a private, served with distinction rose by regular degrees to Captain and acting Quarter Master by the President, and Major by Brevet, and served to the close of the war. In January, 1834, I was commissioned by Governor Marcy of New York as Major of a separate battalion of cavalry in the militia of that state, and served five years. I removed to Wiscon­ sin in 1842, and in May 1861, at the request of the Governor ac­ cepted the office of Quarter Master General. I have never served in the field. I thank you heartily for your interesting letter, and although the ties of consanguinity are but slight, I always meet a Tredway with kind interest, and I should be happy to meet you; yet at the age of more than eighty-two years I cannot reasonably hope to visit Washington again. I shall be glad to see you in our pleasant city of Madison at my pleasant home; Very respectfully Yours, William W. Tredway." I presume the public prints of Madison, \,Visconsin, published obituaries of General Tredway's death, but I have not been able to procure any of them for this brief record of his life's work.

Rhoda Tredway, third child of Dyar and J erusha (Horey) Tredway, born at Mansfield, Connecticut, October the 17th, 1806, married William D. Minor, and died November the 18th, at Dehorn Wisconsin. r8 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

Erastus Tredway, fourth child of Dyar and Jerusha (Horey) Tredway, born at Horida, New York, February the 3rd, 1809, mar­ ried Anna Townsend at New York City, and died in New Yor:{ City March the 31st, 1868. Albert Tredway, fifth child of Dyar and Jerusha (Hore?) Tredway, born at Milton, New York, August 29th, 1812, died May the 29th, 1814, at Charlestown, New York. Archibald Tredway, sixth child of Dyar and Jerusha (Horey) Tredway, born at Charlestown, New York, March the rst, 1815, married Adelaid C. Dodge, of New York City, September the roth, 1855. He died February the 20th, 1886, at Milwaukee, Wiscon­ sin, and is buried at Madison, Wisconsin.

Lucretia Tredway, seventh child of Dyar and Jerusha (Horey) Tredway, born at Scheharra, New York, October the 7th, 1817, married Ira Woodford about 1845. She died August the 7th, 1876, in Michigan. Mary Brown Tredway, eighth child of Dyar and J erusha (Horey) Tredway, born at Bethlehem, New York, October the 5th, 1822, married Daniel W. Kent. She died November the 17th, 1862, at Waukesha, Wisconsin. David Tredway, the fourth son of Josiah Tredway and Eunice his wife, was a boy of considerable strength of character. The military genius as well as the spirit of adventure was strong in him and made him a restless youth. At seventeen years of age the war between England and France was still raging, the storm center of which hung over the city of Quebec, and at that time a strategic point in military movements on the North American Continent. Young David like his great Jewish prototype of Hebrew renown., shouldered his flintlock musket, enlisted in the Connecticut Militia under the British flag and marched with General Wolf's army to the siege of the city, in the autumn of 1759. Reaching the heights of Abraham by a secret path on the morning of September the 14th, the British. regulars and the American Militia brought on a hot en­ gagement with the French, in which the commanders of both armies lost their lives. David Tredway, often speaking of it afterward, said that he saw General Vv olf fall on the field of battle mortally wounded, dying almost immediately. And so he perished, having gained the proudest victory yet won by English arms in the new world. It may seem a little strange to us that a boy at his extreme period of life should experience such active service. But in his days boys were Indian fighters at twelve years of age and did as much execution with their muskets as their fathers and older brothers. Arriving at manhood he married Sarah Gaston about r 76 5 and had the following named children: Sarah (Sallie), David, Jr., Hannah, Ezra, Philotheta, Betsey, Daniel, and Dan. Of these children, David, Ezra and Dan raised families and perpetuated the name. Three of the daughters also raised families. When the HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

Revolutionary War broke out he was thirty-three years of age and had five children, but at the beat of the drum which made every American patriot's heart hot within him, he took his place in the ranks with his brothers and responded to the call of his country. He enlisted in the United States service July the rst, 1776, at his :home in Colchester, Connecticut, and joined the company of Cap­ tain James Ransom, of Colonel Throop's Regiment, of General Par- son's Brigade, and marched by land to King's Bridge on the Hudson River, near New York City. Here he joined the Continental Army under General Washington, and then marched to White Plains and was stationed at West Chester County and did garrison duty until the last of November, and was then discharged by order of General Parsons, Commander of the Brigade; a period of service which lasted about four months. In the month of August, 1778, he en­ listed again in the Connecticut Militia, and became a member of Captain Seth Homes' Company, of Colonel Goroten's Regiment, marched to Rhode Island, and was in all the engagements fought there, and then retreated off the Island, crossed over to Bristol, and was there discharged verbally by Captain Homes the last of Octo­ ber. On the 6th of September in the year 1781 he again entered the service and went to the relief of New London which the British under the traitor, Gen. Benedict Arnold, had sacked and burned, and where he remained and did garrison duty for about two weeks.

James 'Tredway, fifth son of Josiah and Eunice (Foot) Tred­ way, born October the 19th, 1748, married Rhoda Foster of Colches­ ter, Connecticut. He was a Revolutionary soldier and saw very severe military service. He was confined aboard the New Jersey prison ship, where the English guards were in the habit every morn­ ing of standing at the hatchways and saying to the Americans con­ fined there: "Prisoners, bring up your dead," for there were always dead to bring up for burial. James Tredway contracted a disease from which he never recovered, and which carried him off in middle life. He had the following named children: Lucy, born February the 2nd, 1774; Phebe, born July the 31st, 1775; Enoch, born June the 16th, r 778 ; Amos, born January the 24th, I 780; Charles, born March the 5th, r 782; Sallie, born June the 5th, I 784; Harriet, born February the 17th, 1787; James and Nancy (twins) born April the 15th, 1789. Enoch married and settled in St. Lawrence County, New York, and left two daughters, no sons.

Charles Tredway, of James, of Josiah and Eunice (Foot) Tred­ way, married Lucretia Miner, (born February the 21st, 1780), and had eight children.

Charles Tredway, of Charles, of James, of Josiah and Eunice (Foot) Tredway, was born April the 20th, 1806, and died December the 3rd, 1787, in New London, Connecticut. He married Mary L. . Woodward, (born July the 9th, 1834), April the 18th, 1865. Had one daughter, Jennie Woodward Tredway, who was born August the 18th, 1871, and married Mr. Frederick W. Jacques. Mary L. 20 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

Woodward (Tredway), wife of Charles, is a lineal descendant of Richard Woodward, who arrived in Boston in 1634, and afterward permanently lived in Watertown, Mass., where he died in 1664. Nathaniel Tredway was an intimate friend, and one of the apprais­ ers of Richard Woodward's estate. Mrs. Harriet Tredway (Keith) of Spencer, Massachusetts, are the only ones of this family of which I have any late records. A short newspaper editorial says of this subject: Charles Tredway, one of our oldest and best citizens, 1s dead. He was a man of sterling worth in the community, conscien­ tious, highminded and honorable in every walk and way of life. He was at one time prominent in our local public affairs, and was es­ pecially interested in the cause of popular education. He died in the full confidence of a Christian's faith, lamented by his neighbors and the community at large. Such a commendation is worth more than silver and gold. A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold. Prov. 22: r. The last years of his long and successful life were spent in Plain­ field, New York, where he is buried. Alpheus Tredway, another brother of this family, born in 1751, was a soldier in the Continental Army and saw a great deal of hard service. He states that he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers: About the first of June, 1773, I enlisted as a private soldier in Captain Joseph J owits Company of Connecticut Troops in Colonel J edadiah Huntington's Regiment ~o go to the relief of Boston, then in possession of the British Troops and rendezvoused with said company at Norwich, Connecticut, and then marched through -Providence to Roxbury, Massachusetts, ancl was attached to General Artemus vVard's Division. We were sta­ tioned in Roxbury until some time in December, 1775, when I was discharged, having served out the time for which I enlisted. I well recollect the arrival of General Washington to take command of th2 army and also seeing troops detached from Roxbury for the Canada Expedition under General Benedict Arnold. Skirmishes took place with the British soldiery and seamen who attempted to capture and carry off stock from the inhabitants, in which some of our own division were killed and wounded. In the month of September, 1776, I was drafted for a tour of military duty in Captain Amo;; Jones' Company of Connecticut Militia in Colonel Dyar Troop's Regiment and marched with said company then commanded by Lieutenant James Ransome by way of New Haven to the State of New York. The first stand we made was at a place called Fell's Point. We then marched by King's Bridge to a place called Rye Ponds, and from there to near White Plains. We were stationed at different times at all the above places and were frequently harassed and driven by the enemy, had some skirmishing, but no general en­ gagement.

In the summer of the year 1778, I embarked on board a private armed vessel at New London, Connecticut, commanded by John Smith, of Glastonbury, Connecticut, on a cruise, and after being out HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 21 a while run into New Port Harbor, Rhode Island, soon. after which Count D'Eestang arrived in the Harbor (July 29th, 1778) with his squadron, but soon after put to sea, the British Fleet being of the Harbor, which left New Port mostly in possession of the British garrison. I then enlisted as a private soldier in a company com­ manded by the above John Smith, and was attached to a regiment in the command of General Sullivan. vVe had frequent skirmishes with the enemy and had to retreat to the northern part of the Island and upon the retreat of General Sullivan from the Island (August 28th, 1778). I went on board the vessel and returned to New Lo:1- clon. In the early part of the year 178o I enlisted at Hartford un­ der Ralph Pomeroy who was then Deputy Quarter Master, took an oath of Fidelity and received a Paper, which was either a Commis­ sion or Warrant, which I am now unable to state, authorizing me to act as a Captain or Conductor of teams and for my services I was to receive two rations and forty dollars per month for myself and horse. Soon after my enlistment I had twelve teams under my command ( we then called them a brigade of teams) and loaded the1n at Middletown, Connecticut, with axes, spades, spirits and other military supplies, which were furnished by Elijah Hubbard, Com­ missary of Supplies, and went on to the State of New York, crossed the North River and joined the Continental Army at, or near Dobb's Ferry. I was then with my Brigade of teams attached to General Knox's park of artillery and served with them until late in the year, and was with the army at the execution of Major John Andre, the English spy. In the year 1781 and according to the best of my re­ collection early in said year I enlisted under the aforesaid Ralph Pomeroy, at Hartford, Connecticut, was sworn, and appointed by commission, as Captain of a Brigade of teams, under the same pay and rations that I received in the tour above stated, and soon after joined the Continental Army at White Plains, and marched with the army carrying supplies to the South as far as Elkton, Maryland, where I remained; a part of my Brigade was detached and going with the army to York Town, Virginia. I remained at Elkton till the teamsters came back, their cattle mostly dying in the expedition. During the Revolutionary War and prior to the year 1780 I was an enlisted teamster under the said Ralph Pomeroy nearly two years, and was employed in carrying supplies for the army between Windsor and · W eatherfield, Connecticut; and New Burg in tlte State of New York, and was stationed in New Burg one wint:.-.r. In my tour of duty in 1781 my teams carried the baggage of a Con­ tinental Regiment from Rhode Island commanded by Colonel Olney, Bam:m Stuben and General Lafayette were with the army during my time of service. In his application for a pension to the vVar Department, the above detailed account of the military career of Captain Alpheus Tredway shows him to have been an intelligenL and brave soldier and officer, commanding the respect of his super­ iors in a way commendable to him as a man.

Elijah Tredway, a younger brother of Alpheus, was als1J a Revolutionary soldier, and makes the following statement in a 22 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

public document of the War Department:~July 12th, 1832, Elijah Tredway, of Salem, Connecticut, states that he is seventy-nine years old, that in April, 1775, soon after the battle of Lexington he joined a company commanded by Captain John Isham at Colchester ;n said New London, Connecticut, as a volunteer and marched with said company to Roxbury, Massachusetts and remained encamped at · said Roxbury for about two months until the rest of the cnmpany were relieved by other troops when he was dismissed by Captain Isham. That in the forepart of September, 1775, he was sergeant: in the military company commanded by Amos Jones in Colonel Dyar Throop's Regiment, marched with said company and joined the Continental Army near New York, and soon marched through east. to West Chester, Morrisanna, Kingsbridge, and White Plains, w Rye Ponds, and from there to N orthcastle, where he with the rest of said regiment was dismissed by General Order which was read before them the fore part of December, making said tour of service about three months. The militia to which he belonged acted part of the time under General Parsons and the remainder of the time un­ der General Huntington. That in January, 1778, he was drafted to perform a tour of military duty as Sergeant for two months, that he soon after joined Captain North Harris' Company in Colonel Throop's Regiment at New London, Connecticut, and performed tour of duty and was dismissed by said Colonel Throop at New Lon­ don at the expiration oi said two months. That in April, 1778, he was called out with Captain Ransom's Company to which he be­ longed in Colonel Huntington's Regiment of Militia and performecl duty at New London, working on a redoubt for about two weeks, when he was dismissed by said Colonel Huntington.

Elijah Tredway was a public spirited man and one of more than ordinary intelligence. He was a leading farmer in Colchester which included the town of Salem, where he was Town Clerk, Justice of the Peace, and a Representative in the Connecticut Legislature. In r 777 he married Deborah Harris, born at Norwich, Connecticut, June 1756, daughter of Benjamin Harris and Ann Waterman, and a great grand daughter of William Hyde of the third generation. Like her husband she stood at the head of the community and was held in high esteem by all her neighbors. She was a lady of fine presence, intelligence, accomplishments and worth. She was ever her hus­ band's truest, wisest counsellor, and at the close of their long union, he knew no word that she had ever spoken, no deed she ever did, which he would wish to forget, or the memory of which would give him pain. She never neglected any household duty, nor regarded anything as beneath her notice which contributed to the happiness of her husband, her children, or the kindest friends who visited her dwelling, and were always welcome to its cheerful hospitalities. All the records that I have seen or, make hononable mention of "Debby Harris Tredway" of Salem, Connecticut. She died at Salem J anu­ ary the 15th, 1842, aged eighty-six years, and her husband died January 23rd, 1847, at the age of ninety-four years, and side by side HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 23

on the bosom of mother earth, after life's fitful fever, they sleep well. They had the following named children :-Alfred Tredway, born September the Ist, 1781 at Colchester. He married October the roth, 1807 Catherine Hart, of Hart's Village, N. Y. He was a physician and resided in Hart's Village, where he died April 15th, 1826. He had four children born at Hart's Village: Isaac, Susan, Elizabeth, and Catherine Amelia. John Tredway, born July 28th, 1783, at Colchester. He married in 1826, Nancy Worthington, of Salem, who died, and he had by her five children: Mary, Justin, John, Alfred, and William. He then married Lydia Beautell. He was a merchant and broker in New York City where he died May the 5th, 1847. He had by his last wife three children: Caroline, Julia, and Ellen. Elijah Tredway, born December the 26th, 1793, at Colchester. He was a farmer and in 1861 lived in his paternal homestead at Salem, unmarried. J erusha Tredway, born April the 4th, 1778, at Colchester (oldest child). She married Deacon Eli­ phalet Hilliard, of Salem, who died in 1835. She was living with her brother, Elijah, at the paternal homestead in 1861. Eunice Tredway, born January the 26th, 1780, at Colchester. She married Seth Tiffany, February the 2nd, 1802. He was a farmer and re­ sided in Salem, where she died November the 2nd, 1813. They had three children: Alfred Eli, Catherine Hart, and Francis Henry. Lydia Tredway, born August the 1st, 1785, at Colchester. She married Joshua Raynesford, Esq., of Montrose, Pennsylvania, and died October the 7th, 1854. Nancy Tredway, born January the 13th, 1788, at Colchester. On December the 15th, 1816, she married Seth Tiffany, whose first wife was her sister Eunice Tredway. He died October the 18th, 1849, at Salem, where she was living a widow in 1861. Fanny Tredway, born November the 1st, 1790, at Col­ chester. She married John Fitch of Montville, in May, 1836, where she was living in 1861.

Jonathan Tredway, a descendant of Jonathan Tredway, son of Nathaniel, of Watertown, Massachusetts, in an application to the War Department for a pension makes the following statement:­ March the 3rd, 1818, Jonathan Tredway of Shoreham, Vermont, states: That I was born in Lebanon, in the State of Connecticut, in the year 1755. That I was sixty-two years of age the 18th day of April, 1817. That in the year 1775 in April I turned out a volun­ teer to check the British Troops at Lexington. From Lexington I marched directly to Roxbury near Boston, and about the first part of May I enlisted in the Continental Army Service under Captain Levi Well's Company, of Colonel George \i\Tylly's Regiment, Gen­ eral Spencer's Brigade, Continental Line. I enlisted for eight months and served out the time of my enlistment, and at the expira­ tion of said term, at the request of General Washington, I agreed to serve in the army two months longer. Before the expiration of the said two months I again enlisted under the same Captain Levi Well's Company for one year more, and remained in Colonel Wylly's Regi- 24 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY ment, and General Spencer's Brigade until the expiration of my en­ listment, which completed one year and ten months in the Contin­ ental service, excepting a furlough which I had for thirty days in the second year. At the expiration of my enlistment I obtained an honorable discharge and returned home. Again about the first of May, 1777, I enlisted under Captain Hoaglin, Colonel Sheldon's Regiment of Dragoons with Brass Caps. My enlistment expired the first of January, r 778. I was discharged and returned home. These services I performed as a private soldier. I again entered the service and was stationed at Fort Griswold at Grotten, in Con­ necticut, under Captain Huntington's Company, Colonel Lidgard's Regiment. After Colonel Lidgard was killed, Colonel McClannen commanded the Regiment. I remained in service this tour about six months, and was discharged as Sergeant and returned home, and was again out a number of times for short tours. So we learn by this Government Document that Jonathan Tredway experienced considerable military service during the Revolutionary War, being honorably discharged at its expiration. I have no record or tradi­ tion of his marriage.

While noticing the military history of the family in the Revolu­ tionary period, I will submit two names whose close family connec­ tion I cannot directly trace, except by the spelling of the name, the Coat of Arms, and family tradition, together with United States Government Documents in the War Department in Washington City, D. C. Disraeli says: "The traditions of a nation are a part of its existence," and what is true of a nation may also be true of a fam­ ily. I will therefore embalm these two names here in this family narrative, as they stood for their country in the time of its sore;t need, and are well worthy of "honorable mention" with other mem­ bers of the family who lived in a time and crisis that tried. men's souls. It may be moreover, that this brief mention may Help the descendants of these two old Revolutionary soldiers to put them­ selves in direct connection with the history of the family.

"September the 16th, 1837, Mary Tredway of Anson County, North Carolina, states that she is eighty-two years old. That she is a widow of Daniel Tredway, deceased, who was a soldier of the United States in the Revolutionary War, who died the 27th day of September 1824, and her husband has often told her he was three years older than herself, when she was married. She resided in Cumberland County, North Carolina, on Little River, running into Cape Fear River, not far from Fayetteville. She was married by Rev. David Smith, who resided on Cape Fear River, not far from Fayetteville, on the 8th day of August, 1776. She believed it to be the forepart of the war. Daniel Tredway at the time of their mar­ riage was a soldier and belonged to the Militia horse company sta­ tioned in Fayetteville, and to the best of her recollection she was in­ formed by her husband before the company left the town her hus­ band was detailed by some of the officers, the names of whom she does not now recollect, for the purpose of recruiting men for the HrsTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY service, and continued there in that service to the spring of the year 1778. He then moved to South Carolina to her brother's near Broad River and after being there a short time he went into the service of the country again. She recollects her husband hired her brother, Jacob Jones, as substitute, who was in the battle of Brier Creek. She recollects hearing her husband state that he was in the service at the siege of Augusta. Of his officers names in North or South Carolina, or the length of service in either state she has no recollection at this time. She thinks in the spring of the year after the close of the war, her husband moved to Anson County, North Carolina, in the settlement of the Threadgills and resided in the said county to the day of his death."

August the 21st, 1832, Robert Tredway, of Sullivan County, Tennessee, states that he is seventy-one years old: That he enlisted in the army of the United States in the year r78r with Captam John Carns, and for the. term of nine months, served in the fourth Regiment of North Carolina volunteers under the following named officers: General Francis Marion, General Nathaniel Green, and Colonel Washington, and Captain John Carns. I was discharged and left the service in the year 1782. I enlisted in Sullivan County, then in the State of North Carolina, now in Tennessee, and was in a battle at the "High Hills" on Santee River, October the 25th, 1780, and also in. a battle at the "Cross Roads," near Charleston, South Carolina, the battle of "Monks' Corner" April the 14th, 1780, also the battle of "Goose Creek," near Charleston. and marched through North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. So by these docu­ ments we learn that these two men rendered considerable service for their country in the Revolutionary Period.

In returning to the Connecticut section of the Tredway family and its ramifications, after this slight digression, I desire to submit the family record of 0. Carleton Tredway as it relates directly to him, although a part of it is given above, with some slight discrep­ ancy as to dates of birth which are not material. 0. Carleton Tred­ way in r888 was an attorney at law in Sioux City, Iowa, where he had resided for a number of -years. In answer to a communication I sent him he wrote me the following letter:

Sioux City, Iowa, March 20th, r888. Rev. S. B. Tredway, Dear Sir :-Your letter of March the 13th reached me today, and I take pleasure in answering it as fully as I am able. I have an im­ perfect record of my ancestors back as far as 1735. At that date the oldest one of which I have any knowledg-e was married, being then probably from twenty to twenty-five years of age, which would bring his birth well back to 1700. My ancestry were from Connec­ ticut; all my information locates the starting point at Colchester, Connecticut. The following is the History of the Tree: Josiah Tredway married Miss Eunice Foot, in 1735, and to them were born the following- children: Josiah, born in 1736, Amos in 1738, Eli­ phalet in 1739, Eunice in 1740, Sarah in 1742, David in 1743, Mary HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY in 1745, Charles in 1747, James in 1748, Alpheus in 1750, Elijah in 1753, John in 1755, and Lois in 1757. Of these thirteen children, I have only a slight record which I will give for what it may be worth, as it may be a clue to other information. David ( of this family) was my great grand father and I will tell you fully of him. Charles died a bachelor. James married and lived at Williamsfield. Al­ pheus married Phebe Gales and raised a family. Elijah married Miss Debby Harris. John married a Miss Camps. Lois married her cousin John 'Tredway. David Tredway, my great grand father, married Sarah Gastin and had the following children: Sally (Sarah) born in 1766, David (my grand father) born in 1769, Hannah born in 1771, Ezra and Nancy (twins) born in 1776, Philotheta born in 1779, Betsey, (Elizabeth) born in 1782, Daniel born in 1787, and Dan born in 1791. Of these children David, Ezra and Dan raised families and perpetuated the name. Three of the daughters also raised families.

David Tredway (my grand father) married Rebecca \Varner in 1795, and raised the following children: Bela R. Tredway born in 1796, Ralph R. Tredway born in 1797, Electa 0. Tredway born in 1799, and Sarah W. Tredway born in 1803. Bela R. Tredway (my father) was the only one of this family that raised a family. Bela R. Tredway married Philotheta Marshall in Herkimoner County, New York, and raised a family of six children, named as follows: Elvira, Amelia, John M., Ogilvie C., Mary E. and William T. Tred­ way. My great grand father and my grand father came from Con­ necticut in 1796, and settled in the south part of Herkimer County, New York, and there spent nearly all of their lives, and there lived my father all his life. My grand father on my mother's side was John Marshall, and he too came from Connecticut. He was at Yorktown at the surrender of Cornwallis, and was of the Rhode Is­ land, Virginia and Kentucky Marshalls. The Tredways are nearly extinct in my branch of the (family) tree. I have no children. Like Logan, the Mingo Chief, I am compelled to say, "There nms not a drop of my blood in the veins of any living creature." My brother John has one daughter, and my brother \i\Tilliam has one son, a lad of fourteen years next month. We three brothers now live at this place having come hither from New York. We were country raised boys with the advantage of a common school education, such as New York common schools afforded many years ago, but I being a little more wilful than the others struck out for myself in 1848, and spent two years at Oxford Academy in Chenango County, New York, then entered Union College at Schenectady, and remained there three years graduating in 1853 in the class with ex-Governor Hartranft of Pennsylvania. After graduating, being in poor health, I travelled one winter in the southern states, and returned north in the spring of 1854, read the profession of law at New York, and was admitted to practice in the city of Utica in January 1855. I then travelled through the west, visiting Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Indiana and Ohio, and then returned to New York and commer.ced the practice of my profession at Herkimer County where I had com- H1s'fORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMlL~ 27 menced my reading. · I remained there till the Fall of fifty-seven when I q1me to ~his ]Jlace and settled, where I have passed my life. I am now fifty-eight years old and am about to retire from the profession, practically closing my profess10nal life with the defense of John i\rnsdorf, one of the most remarkable criminal cases on record. For the last sixteen or eighteen years I have each winter visited \Vashington, only missing two winters in that many years, and one of those misses was the present winter. I should be pleased to meet you and know more of you. I have met some Tredways in vVashington. By the way, I note that you spell your name as l do, but my father and grand father spelled it Treadway. I dropped the "a" for brevity's sake. Shall be glad to know of you, if our families come together in any manner. I chanced to have this old pedigree, having obtained it from my uncle, Ralph R. Tredway, who died a bachelor. I omitted to mention the name of our only lad of fourteen summers. His name is Ralph Bishop Tredway, the Bishop being his mother's maiden name. I trust the personal of my long letter will not ex­ haust your patience. Sincerely yours, 0. C. Tredway. It will be seen by this communication that 0. C. Tredway and his immed­ iate relations descenciecl from David Tredway, the Revolutionarv soldier of Connecticut, and brings his family record up to the present time ( 1908). It is a little remarkable that he without tll':: necessary information with reference to the orthography of the name should correctly spell it. The quaint manner in which he indicts his letter shows a strong family characteristic. Since re­ ceiving the above letter Ralph Bishop Tredway, who was born in 1874, has matriculated in Yale University, and became known in the athletic worid as "Tredway of Yale," and become a success­ ful student.

John Tredway. son of Elijah Tredway, and his wife (Deborah Harris), was born August the 28th, 1783, and married Nancy Worthington Febmary the 8th, 1808, and had the following named children :-John W., born December the 5th and died.

It has been ~een by this record which has been fairly well kept that Alfred Tredway was a man of more than ordinary char­ acter, in highly honoring the "household" from which he sprang, and maintaining with high respect the name he bore. He died November the 5th, 1897, in the city of his adoption, Dubuque, Iowa, and the follmving obituary in the Daily Telegraph evidences the high esteem in which he was held by his fellow citizens:- H1s'roRY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

"Mr. Alfred Tredway died Friday at 4 :IO P. M., II82 Locust street. His passmg away was quiet, peacerul and tree from pam. Despite his extreme age, his rugged health, and strong will made 11im almost impervic,us to the i11s and ailments of declining years. Eighteen years ago, in 1879, although then sixty-two years oi age, he was possessed ci foll vigor and left Dubuque with a party of friends to enjoy an outing and a vacation from the arduous duties of his business, he had well earned. While in the midst of his pleasures, an unforeseen accident, a runaway stage, resulted in his serious injury, and for several years thereafter his condition was critical. His strong constitution, however, enabled him to par­ tially recover from the effects of his accident, but his health was impaired. Excepr for brief intervals, he has been able to drive and get round as much as most men of years, until three weeks ago his fatal illness came on and gradually exhausted his vitality. Mr. Alfred Tredway was a native of New York city, having been born there near the Battery, August the I Ith, 1817. He was educated in the common schools ther.e and attended college at Col­ chester, Connecticut. At the age of eighteen years he began his mercantile career as a clerk in the hardware store of Smith and Ruthven, with which firm and its successors he remained eight years, or until 1843. It was with this firm Mr. Tredway master­ ed the details of che business in which he has m2de such a success and given Dubuque one of its most substantial business institutions the wholesale house of the A. Tredway & Sons' Hardware Com­ pany, of which i1e was president. In 1843 he had his first ex­ perience as a merchant, opening up that year a general store at Lyons, New York, where he remained until 1851, in which year he came West on ;, prospecting tour. He came first to Chicago and then to Dubuque, and becoming favorably impressed with the busy hustling little lead mining village, determined to cast his lot here. "The opening he considered most propitious here for a foun­ dry and machine shop, and returning to New York, he formed a partnership with .Mr. H. A. Rouse, then purchased a complete out­ fit of tools, machinery and appliances necessary for the business and immediately se1 out for Dubuque. The trip to Chicago was made by canal and the lakes. From Chicago a railroad ex­ tended to Elgin, Illinois, and from Elgin to Dubuque the journe_v and transfer of machinery was made by wagon. Arriving here Mr. Tredway selected the site of the Iowa Iron vVorks for his new enterprise, purchased the property from its St. Louis owners, and founded the institution which, through the Ericsson and Win­ dom and hundreds of river boats, has made Dubuque famous. Mr. Tredway remained in the foundry and machinery business only until 1853, when he sold out to J. P. Farley and in company with . \Villiam Andrew, under the firm name of Andrew and Tredway, he engaged in the hardware business at 484 and 488 Main street. HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

He afterward succeeded to the whole interest of the firm, an'J took his sons into the company with him and in 1879 removed to the present quarters of the company, on Iowa street. All the old settlers are familiar with the growth of the business and its steady increase in volume under the skillful management of himself and his sons. For the younger generation who know it only as one of the keystones of the foundation on which Dubuque rests, its fame as a jobbing center, it is sufficient to say it is a magnificent monu­ ment to the integrity, perseverance and business sagacity of the much esteemed deceased merchant. Mr. 'Tredway was married in September, 1846, at Lyons, New York, to Miss Elizabeth L. Taft, and their eldest son was born there. Mrs. Tredway has ever beeh a true helpmate to her husband, and their life has ever been simple and unostentatious, yet withal most happy and satisfactory. Last year they celebrated their golden anniversary, and the esteem and love of the light hearted ambitious merchant of a half century ago was mellowed in that of, the white haired husband of 1896, as was the confidence and fondness of the bride of fifty years ago, and the pride in her husband, only augmented in the silver haired wife. The perfect love and affection of the aged couple illum­ ined the happy family jubilee and was its characterizing feature. Mr. Tredway leaves surviving him besides his aged widow, five children: three sons and two daughters as follows: Alfred W. Tredway, Harry E. Tredway and John C. Tredway, and Mrs. Ed­ ward C. Peasler and Mrs. Charles M. Peasler. Mr. Tredway was essentially a home man. His concern always was his family and home, and away from his business he shone brightest at his own fireside and among a circle of intimate friends. Some years ago he relinquished the active management of the large con.. cern he founded tc- his sons who, trained by him, have taken up the work, extended its scope and in their achievement have real­ ized his fondest expectations. \/\Tith such a home as had Mr. Tredway and with the ambition of his life realized by him and his sons, as it has been, the venerable gentleman passed his de­ clining years in ease and quiet enjoyment. Reaping in his advanced years the reward of sacrifices and hardships in his youth, he was surrounded with comforts and cir cumstances most congenial. His wife, children and grand child­ ren became more devoted to him every clay and his demise will enshroud in gloom that can never be dispelled one of the very hap­ piest homes in Dubuque. Outside of his family, there are many who will feel Mr. Tredway's death very keenly. Of such long residence here, and being by nature exceedingly affable. kind and charitable, he enjoyed an exceptionally large number of acquaint­ ances, by all of whom he was highly esteemed for his many manly virtues, and above all for his high honor and strict integrity in all his business and private a;,sociations, and with many acquaintance has ripened into the warmest friendship." HrsTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 31

The foregoing obituary of Mr. Alfred Tredway, in the Daily Telegraph of Dubuque, is a correct account of his life, as it ex­ actly portrays the essential characteristics of the family-affable­ ness, fraternity, rcaciy utterance, personal honor, and love of home and family. Children reared by such a man are fully equipped to serve well their clay and generation.

CHAPTER II

American Ancestors of FRANK STILLMAN TREADWAY, his Sisters and Brothers (.Father's Side).

The name has iJeen spe:led by different branches of the family Treadway, Tredway and Treadaway. Bond's History of Water­ town, Mass., which may be found in the principal public libraries, gives the family of Nathaniel Treadway, and a fac-simile of his sig­ nature which shows every letter very plainly spelling the name as here given.

Nathaniel Tredway came from England, landing at Massa­ chusetts Bay in 1628. With him was a brother, Josiah, but I have no trace of a family of his. Judge Barbour's book "My Mother," says that he had no sons, and that Nathaniel and Josiah were "the only ones of the name whose arrival is mentioned." Nathaniel was a weaver, and was repeatedly elected Selectman at Sudbury. I have gained the impression that Sudbury was formerly a suburb, now a part of Boston. After his marriage Nathaniel moved to Watertown, also now a part of Boston. Ne>

FREDERICK, born March 12, r8rr, died April 14, 1877. Aunt Es­ ther, whom Martha and I met at St. Louis in 1880 or 1890, at the Southern Hotel, of which her daughter's husband Mr. Bates was proprietor, was the widow of FREDERICK. In 1908 Mr. and Mrs. Bates were still living in New York City. Mr. Bates with his son-in-law being the managers of the Murray Hill Hotel, where I met them and the daughter. Their son Benjamin was then man­ ager of the Hotel Belmont, which I understand he planned, financed and built. In r9or Mr. Bates, Sr., was manager of the Hotel Everett, where I met him.

ELIPHALET, born April 3, 1739, died July 21, 1878 ( ?) Dwight Tredway's line, late of St. Louis, Mo., died recently I think in 1912, whose father was a resident of Madison, Wis., in 1881 or thereabout. EUNICE, born July 4, 1740, died May 18, 1762. SARAH, born March 31, 1742. DAVID, born April 25, 1743, diecl ---- His son David, born March 5, 1769, and 8 other children, the two youngest being named Daniel, born February 19, 1787, and Dan, born Feb'y 16, 1791, had a son Bela R., born 1796, the oldest of two sons and two daughters. Bela R. had three sons who were living in Sioux City, Iowa, where I met 0. C. and one of his brothers in 1881, when neither of us knew much of the family history. The three are Ogilvie Carleton, born 1829; John M., born 1827; Wm. B., born 1835, latter "is only one having male issue and his only son is Ralph B. Tredway, being "Tredway of Yale" who was born in 1874"-from letters of 0. C. Tredway, attorney, dated Sioux City, Iowa, September 30, 1897. I quote from the same and other letters of the same month and year by same writer. "I have in my possession a letter written by Alpheus Treadway from Colchester, Conn., Sept. 19, 1798." "My father's family spelled the name with an "a" in it, but my gen­ eration dropped the "a." Mr grandfather came up into New York and settled first in Otsego County, as early as 1795 or 1796, as my father Bela R. was born in Springfield, Otsego County, N. Y., in 1796. My great grandfather came up into New York at an early date and lived is Otsega County till near the close of his life with his son Dan, but Dan moved to Oswego County, N. Y., taking his father with him and there the old man died at nearly mo years of age."

Attended College at Colchester, Conn. First busi­ ness experience at Lyons, N. Y., in 1843. In 1851 located in Dubuque, Iowa, where he died November 5th, 1897, being the head of the wholesale hardware firm of A. Tredway & Sons, and survived by his widow (Elizabeth L. Taft, married in Sep­ tember 1843, at Lyons, N. Y.) three sons as follows: Alfred Vv ., Harry E. and John C., and Mrs. Edward C. Peaslee and Mrs. Charles M. Peaslee. Both Alfred W. and Harry E. have fur­ nished me with much information on the subject of the older family history. I met the family in Dubuque in r88r, when none of us knew any of the details. I met John or Harry at HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 37

'Washington in December 1907, when we were delegates to the National Rivers and Harbors Congress. We met Francis 'Treadway, of Cleveland, at the same time, he being likewise a delegate, and there was much amusement occasioned as we were together a great deal when introductions were frequently made to "Mr. Treadway-Mr . Treadway-and-Mr. Tread­ way-." Francis Treadway's line is same as mine, but of his family more later.

JoHN, B., born May I I, 1755, died April 16, 1800. Lors, born September 24, 1757, died July 25, 1851. August 15, 1901, at Osweg@, N. Y., I called on Miss Lois Treadway-I guessed her to be about 68-who gave me the following infor­ mation: Her father was A111os COTTON TREADWAY, born Nov­ ember 11, .1.796, died September, 1882. Her sister was wife of Rear Admiral Russell of United States Navy, whose son, Jack, ( then aged 28) was a Captain of Marines in the Navy, and had taken part in the Battle of Santiago. A sister of Jack, and niece of Miss Lois-Miss Russell-was present during my call. Miss Lois' grandfather was probably the Amos who was brother to my great grandfather Harvey. Mr. A. R. TREADWAY, Vice President and Manager, Peck, Stow and Wilcox Co., of Cleveland, 0., advised me under date of Novem­ ber 6, 1899, that his grandfather and my great grandfather Harvey were brothers. Hence were sons of AMOS, 1738-1814. Mr. Treadway's letter referred to says: "Harvey 'Treadway, of Middle­ ton, Conn., a splendid old man, father of Richard and George Tread­ way and a brother of my grandfather. My father Russell Treac:­ way, your grandfather Richard Treadway and George Treadway all lived in New Haven at the same time. At that time George was in the harness and saddlery and trunks business ; Richard, printer and publisher; Russell, my father, in the stove and tin business." Mr. A. R. TREADWAY had two sons that I know of, as I m-t an older brother with Francis in vVashington in 1907. Francis is an attorney and was elected Lieutenant Governor of Ohio in 1908.

M1ss LAURA E. TREADWAY, Fredonia, N. Y. MRs. M. L. FRENCH, Malone', N. Y. l\fRs. THEODORE TROMBLEE, Court St., Plattsburg, N. Y. MRS. G. M. (Adeline Treadway) LOBDELL, 88 Brinkerhoff Stre2t, Plattsburg, N. Y. M1ss MILDRED TREADWAY, Malone, N. Y. HISTORY OF THE 'TREDWAY FAMILY are daughters of JOHN WESLEY TREADWAY, Son of WILLIAM TREADWAY, Son of JONATHAN 3RD. who was in the Revolutionary \Var as a Drummer Boy, and crossed the river, it is said, in the boat with Washing­ ton the night before the Battle of Trenton. There is an extensive branch of the family in the South. In a letter from REV. SILAS B. 'TREADWAY, dated September 7th, 1897, at Belair, Md. ( In 1902, I am advised he was located at Cambridge, Mel.) a copy of which I then mailed to every Treadway I knew or had heard of, I learned that he is a descendant of RrcHARD TREDWAY, who settled in Baltimore County, (now Har­ ford County) Mel. in 1698, where he "opened his tobacco plan­ tation, built his log cabin in which was born his oldest son RICHARD TREDWAY, December 8, r706." This was quite near the parsonage occupied by Rev. Silas, at the date of his letter to me. The Rev. Silas had at that time gathered considerable in­ formation relating to his own line, having published a short biography of his father which included a short history of the English branch, which, as I remember (I having mislaid the copy he sent me) went as far back as RICHARD TREDWAY, "A bencher of the Inner Temple," whose so:1 \VALTER TREDWAY, was knighted by his Queen, for services in her behalf. My impression is that it was in Elizabeth's reign 1558- 1603. The elates only, are uncertain in my mind. At that time Rev. Silas did not have the American line complete, but did have the family of JOSIAH, 2ND. and Eunice Foote, so could give me little regarding my line. However, his letter was very interesting- to all Treadways, and I added a P. S. to the copy I sent out requesting the receiver to communicate with him, giving all the information they had regarding their ancestors, and from the replies I received they must have done so pretty generally. At the same time I was soon in possession of my line as given in the preceding sheets. Rev. Silas says of him­ self: "I am fifty-one years of age, and have been a minister in the Maryland Conference, Methodist Protestant Church, twenty-six years." "I am preparing a short history of the fam­ ily which, when completed in manuscript, I will publish if I can get the members who are interested in the matter to purchase enough of the copies to meet, or nearly meet, expenses." "There are about one hundred and eighty families of English extraction in this country who are registered families, that is families who have a coat of arms and the Tredway family is one of them; a fact of which I am very proud." In the short history of the English branch which he sent me and which I have mislaid, there was a description of the Treadway coat of arms, from which it could be drawn by consulting published HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 39 works on Heraldry. I visited the State Library in Albany, N. Y. in 1901, and there found a cut of the Treadway Crest, which, those who are versed in such matters indicates that members of the fam­ ily must have participated in the Crusades. Briefly described from memory it was: a bearded Turk's head impaled on a dagger held up­ right by a mailed hand. (The "mailed fist" we read about?). It is my intention to get into communication with Rev. Silas again and learn what progress he has made. I have met Treadway's-Tredway's-and Treadaway's-from the South, and have heard of many others. One John, I think was prominent in the development of the Port Arthur, Texas, oil fields about 1902. I have a letter from Little Rock, Ark., elated August 13, 1907, signed by Theodore C. Treadway of the Treadway Electric Com­ pany, composed of : M. A. TREADWAY, I assume, the father. THEO. C. TREADWAY, and LEO TREADWAY, The letter says: "My great grandfather's name was JOHN N. TREADWAY, my great great grandfather's name was JOHNATHAN TREADWAY. As far as we can trace back our name was spelled TREDWAY and my great grandfather added the 'a.' I have a cousin FRANK D. TREADWAY, living at 505 Main Street, Houston, Texas. Cass County, Illinois. is full of Treaclway's, all more or less re­ lated to our family." \VESLEY P. TREADWAY, age about 25, resides here in Jamestown, N. Y. He has two brothers that I know of who live in this part of the State, and his father, TREADWAY, lives near Frewsburg, Chautauqua (this) County, N. Y., was born in West Virginia. JmrN TREADWAY, in 1897, 120 Summer St., Bostorr, Mass., then 71 years of age, wrote me that he was of the Maryland and Vir­ ginia branch, a cousin of Silas B., that his sons are: CHARLES TREADWAY, whom I met twice in Indianapolis, Ind., in 1888 and 1896, when he was selling shoes from Brocton, Mass., FRANK H. TREADWAY, of Chicago, whom I think at one time lived in Kansas City, when my home was there, but I did not meet him, though my father did, Juuus H., of Boston. John's father's brother (William T ?) lived near Virginia, Cass County, Illinois, and raised a large family. John's Uncle, AQUILLA, had three sons who lived in Illinois, but who went back to Maryland and raised families there. Their names: AMOS TREADWAY, MARTIN TREADWAY, AQUILLA TREADWAY, John writes me: "They all spelled their name with an 'a' or most of them as you and I do, although I think part of them did not use the 'a'. In the early settlement of this country they were not particular about spelling. 40 In the Official Register of the United States for r905, which contains a list of all emp'oyes of the Government, I found the following:-

In r9rr, at Chautauqua, N. Y., I met Mrss C01u TREADAWAY, and sister of Monroe, Ga., the first of those using the third 'a.'

In my travels I have heard of but never met, and did not learn how they spelled the name, Treadways at Chula, Mo., Clinton, Mo., Hannibal, Mo., and Platte City, Mo.

Fur:ther particulars of descendants of JAMES HARVEY TREAD­ WAY, 1807:----1855, St. Louis, Mo., see page 34.

ISAAC LITTLE TREADWAY left two children, WILLIAM T. TREADWAY, and MARY ELizARETH TREADWAY, and in 1897 were living in St. Louis, Mo. FRANCES A. TREADWAY SMITH had four children: Thomas A. Smith; Harvey T. ( died in infancy) ; Harvey T.; and Grace D.; and in 1897 were living at 4293 Finney Ave., St. Louis, Mo.

ELLEN J. TREADWAY Dow, has two children: Nathaniel Farnham Dow, and M3:ry Amelia Dow, living at Carson City, Nev., '97. GRACE A. TREADWAY WASSON, in 1897 living at 1812 Pierce Street, San Francisco, has seven daughters and one son. SAMUEL TREADWAY, 1816------1876, St. Louis, Mo., previously men­ tioned, left "three daughters in St. Louis, all married. I am ig­ norant of their names and addresses."-Mrs. Ellen J. Tread­ way Dow, Oct. 14, 1897.-l think two of them must be: Mrs. Eliza Green, whose husband was Mr. Ed. Green, a merchant tailor in St. Louis many years ago, both of whom I met in the '7o's or 'So's, and Miss Zerlika Treadway, whom I also met at the same time.

In a letter dated \!Vallingforcl, Conn., October 30, 1897, from Mrss EMILY C. TREADWAY, I am informed that her sisters, Mrs. Glosen Hall, Mrs. A. D. Bailey, both ,of New Haven, and Mrs. J.B. Kendrick, of Wa1lingford, are the daughters of LYMAN TREADWAY, born · 1814, at New Haven, who moved his family from New Haven in 1872, died in 1880, leaving his widow (Mrs. A. A. Treadway) and daughters named, residents of Wallingford. He was a son of ELIJAH and HANNA TREADWAY, one of twelve children. Miss Tred­ way wrote to the effect that if a book was published she want­ ed a copy. In fact many have so expressed themselves to me.

In a letter elated 22 Truman St., New London, Conn., October 30, 1897, Mrs. Mary L. Treadway advises me that her husband was: CHARLES TREADWAY, born April 20, 1806, died December 3, 1878, and he was the son of CHARLES TREADWAY, born March 5, 1782, died---, who was the son of }AMES TREADWAY, born October 19, 1748, who was the son of Josiah 2nd. and Eunice Foot. Mrs. Mary L. further says: "One of 42 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

Mr. Treadway's sisters a while ago saw a MRs. JoHN STOUGH­ TON, of Greene, Chenango County, New York, whose maiden name was TREADWAY, she said the family had an occasional re­ umon.

I was the second wife, no children of the first wife who was Eliza W. Lee are living. My ancestor Richard \Voodward landed in Boston in 1634, lived in Watertown where he cliecl 1664. I notice that NATHANIEL TREADWAY was one of the appraisers of his estate. Just a little more about myself. I can trace my ancestry through the Mather's to Richard Mather, born in 1596 back two generations to his grandfather."

See page 34 relative to the family of GEORGE TREADWAY, 1802-1894, my grandfather's own brother. I learn that there was also a son, DR. F. TREADWAY, "who was buried in New Haven some time in the seventies." 'Also I have learned that "Aunt Esther" was the widow of FREDERICK, 181 r-1877, and that another daugh­ ter of theirs was Mrs. Mary M. Barker, 3909 Locust St., Philadel­ phia ( in 1897), and that Mrs. Bates' name is Emma J. From a legal paper captioned "In the matter of the Estate of Martha H. Crittenden, Deceased." At a Surrogate's Court, held at Utica, N. Y., on the 8th clay of February, A. D. 1897.

I find the following "next of kin" of Martha H. Crittenden, whose names have not heretofore been mentioned herein: MARY B. CoIT, 51 Worden Ave., Bridgeport, Conn., and SARAH A. THOMPSON, Middletown, Conn., and MARY E. SMITH, Middletown, Conn.

In a letter to my father Charles Cotton Treadway at Kansas City, Mo., dated Meriden, Conn., March 14, 1894, from Mrss ELLEN LAWTON, she advises me that her mother was CAROLINE TREADWAY LAWTON, one of twelve children of ELIJAH TREADWAY, who was a son of ELIJAH TREADWAY, ( 1753-1847). "This branch of the fam­ ily settled in Colchester, Conn. The Town Clerk from this plac writes me that ELIJAH TREADWAY married a DEBORAH HARRIS, no dates given, 8 children were born to them." "My mother had two brothers in New Haven, on State Street, in the hardware business, Lyman and Russell TREADWAY." "My great great grandfather was a Revolutionary soldier, also a pensioner."

In the August IO, 1912, issue of The Saturday Eveninq Post, there was concluded the story of "My Lady's Garter," by Jacques Futrell, who was a victim of the "Titanic" disaster, and I think a Southerner, as I noticed quite recently that his mother had died at or near Atlanta, Ga. I did not read all the story, having noticed HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 43 only the last two or three installments. Perhaps if I had I would not be making this reference to it, but here goes: The Hero had told the heroine that the name Bruce Colquhoun, by which he was known was not his true name_. and of course in the closing chapter the time came when she asked him what it was. I quote:

"Oh my name! It's Treadway-Bruce Treadway, of Virginia stock. My mother was a Colquhoun, a descend­ ant by the way of the Countess of Salisbury to whom in 1344 Edward III gave the jewelled garter."

In the August, 1912, issue of Smith's Jfagazine, the story, "The End of the Journey" by Grace Margaret Gallaher, the scene laid in the Valley of the Connecticut, the heroine, Melaine Gault, is made to say:

"Seems if I called home a verse in th' Scriptures, 'though I flee to th' uttermost parts o' th' earth', I can't get way from myself. ·well, I don't know as Pettipaug's overrun Palestine yet, an' there's India where Uncle and Aunt Treadway was missionaries."

My attention was called to the latter case by an acquaintance. These are the only two instances I remember of seeing the name used in fiction.

I believe I have herein included all the information I have in outline, of the TREADWAYS. Should the Rev. s;1as B. Treadway ( excuse the spelling-Reverend-habit, yon know) or any one else ever undertake the publication of a history I would like the privi­ lege of furnishing some particulars of my father's and grand­ father's lives.

Believe me, I approach the end hereof with a fe~ling of great relief that a work I have long had on my mind is so far advanced.

CHRISTIAN FRATERNITY

SERMON OF DR. S. B. TREDWAY

Preached to the Maryland Annual Conference at Crisfield, Maryland, on April 5, 1899.

TExT :-But be ye not called Rabbi: for one is yonr Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. MATT. xxrn, 8.

There have been great men in the world, whose utterances at critical periods have made new epochs, changing the currents of thought and feeling, not only for individuals and communities, but for states and nations as well. They seemed to have been born, not only for the period in which they lived, and the purpose they ac­ complished, but all forces and agencies, converging on different lines and moving to a common centre, contributed their influence to the final end. Such declarations, and the results flowing therefrom have been the standards of action and the rules of conduct in states and nations for long periods of time. But, however great have been the utterances and actions of men with their farcreaching results in a worldly point of view, they become insignificant when compared to the utterances of Him, who spake as never man spake; and the words of the text by the Lord Jesus Christ, although spoken nearly two thousand years ago, not only embody the profoundest wisdom that the human mind can conceive of, but have a more binding force upon the heart and conscience of men than any instruction that we have, or can receive. The language of the text therefore, is as needful for us today, as in the clays when Christ tabernacled in the flesh; for no man knows at what period conditions may arise in which attempts will be made to fetter the action and bind the con­ science of the christian individual.

Concerning the exegesis of the text, the Revised Version em­ ploys the term Teacher, instead of the term Master; and the term Christ is left out altogether; which is authorized, as Tischendorf and other eminent scholars show, by most of the ancient manuscripts.

In the Revised Version we have a correct translation of the term, Didaslwlos, which signifies Teacher; and occasionally Master. Kathegatase; although the element of meaning in the original, for the latter term, is very slight. \Ve think therefore that in this Scripture the Saviour's meaning is clearer in the Revised Version which says: But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Teacher, and all ye are brethren. Rabbi was the official title of the custodians a_nd representatives of the Jewish Church, and so popular was the title, with all that it signified in public sentiment, that the individual,· except in some instances was entirely lost in it. An exception is that HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY of Gamaliel, whose depth of learning in the Old Testament Scrip­ tures, and knowledge of Hebrew poetry and literature made his name greater than any title that could be conferred. So clear and strong was his well stored mind that he rose above the mere letter of the Law and dwelt in the atmosphere of its spirit, and was called by his contemporaries the "Beauty of the Law." He was Paul's Professor in Hebrew, and if we may pass upon the antecedent by the consequent, we can reach satisfactory conclusions as to the intel­ lectual standing of the Teacher, by the character of the student whom he graduated and sent into the world to do his work and meet his destiny. Nicodemus was a Rabbi of similar attainments and character where Hebrew culture made his mind so intuitive and inquisitive that he must needs seek the Saviour personally, and in a private interview learn the pith and substance of those wonderful doctrines given to the multitude by the Divine 'Teacher. These with others which might be named were honorable exceptions, but the general fact obtained that the title of Rabbi shadowed the individual name and lost its moral and spiritual significance and degenerated into mere officialism; and was refined, divided, and sub-divided, un­ til three distinct classes, with many subordinates, were named and set apart in the Jewish Church. So we have the term Rab: Master, Doctor, Rabbi, my Master, Rabboni, my great Master. Rabbi was more honorable than Rab, that is, great, much. Master was more than Rabbi. A .Rabbi was a Teacher in the synagogue, but Master was the head of a whole section, a leader who might be followed by many Rabbis, hence the development of centralization and the grow­ ing tendency of ecclesiastical power with all its evil results. We see here the power of cast and the tyranny of the rulers, which were strong and congent reasons why the Saviour opposed an officialism of the Jews that engendered spiritual pride and a false sense of superiority, which would come finally to domineer more and more over their brethren as inferiors, bringing forth that servile spirit of cringing submission which is a reflection on all true manhood, and an element of destruction in all institutions established for the wel­ fare of humanity, the Church itself not being an exception. If there were no other Scripture to indicate the mind of the Saviour on this feature of Jewish Church life, this utterance alone is sufficient to substantiate the fact of His unqualified opposition to a system of tyranny, that had degraded the people, dismantled the Church, and sapped the foundations of the spiritual life of the nation. But this whole chapter goes on to give a history, expressed and implied, as to the true cause of the great disorder which warranted the declar­ ation, and the destructive prophecies which met their complete iul­ fillment in the seige of Jerusalem and the overthrow of the Jewish people. The woes multiply as with terrible eloquence He sets forth their distinct features, and emphasizes their certain visitation. Av­ arice and hypocrisy, unbelief and fanaticism, fanatical proselyting, hypocritical legalism, spiritual deadness, and the awful judgment as a final consequence. In the winding up of this paragranh of woes, the loving Saviour grieves and mourns over His own ruined J erusa­ lem. All the messages of the Almighty Father, whether adverse or HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 49 commendatory, which had come to the chosen people from the time of Moses to that of the Messiah, and which had formed the ground of Israel's judgment, to Him appeared now rather as so many ef­ forts and impulses of the Highest to save them; and particularly had this impressed Him during the time of His active ministry. His whole mission to the world was troubled by distress for His own people; and He bears His bleeding heart to the pitying eye of the whole future Church when in that sad lamentation He cries: ".O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not." In the perspective of that sombre pic­ ture, He saw the coming of the Roman eagles that would light upon the doomed city and destroy all its inhabitants, because they had re­ fused to heed the oft repeated warning and tlee to the protection of His outspreading wings. From the words of the text which em­ body the underlying principles of the gospel, concerning the particu­ lar relation of the Saviour and His saints in all ages of the world, the fact is easily deduced that the Church of Jesus Christ, in her organic capacity, methods and modes of operation and expression, for the recovery of the race from the thraldom of sin, is not based on the theory of inequality or officialism, but upon the fundamental principle of equality among the brethren. The utterances of the Saviour upon this question are so clear and strong, as to silence at once and forever the voice of all controversy. The truths uttered, the declarations made by the Divine Teacher when upon earth are to be blessed to the full benefit of every member of the Church.

See how clear and apt the teaching and illustration of the Sav­ iour when questioned by His disciples as to who was greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. He called a little child and placed him in their midst and said: "Verily I say unto you, except ye become con­ verted, and become as Ettie children, ye shall not enter into the Kingdom of God. \Vhosoever, therefore, shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven."­ Matt. XVIII, 3-4.

The humility, the willing obedience, the unquestioning confi­ dence and sincere affection of a little child were to be marked char­ acteristics of the children of God. If a disciple should display heir­ archical tendencies, or in any way give vent to such feelings, the question would naturally arise, whether he was converted at all. And furthermore, the declarat1on of the Divine Teacher implies that in a strong sense all hierarchism is opposed to, and incompatible with the Kingdom of Heaven. It seems a little remarkable at first sight, that the Jewish plan of Church polity in the time of Christ ~hould be the cause of so much evil among priests and people; but mvestigation shows that a svstem of administration to meet the de­ mands of all the interests involved, must not only be in accord with the administrator, but must have and hold in its power the truths and facts to be made known and uti'ized, and thes.e truths and 50 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

facts must be of such a nature as to fully meet and satisfy the de­ sires of all those to whom they are administered. So that deeper investigation shows that the Church, the thought, the embodied idea, the organized plan of God, in order to be the true mode and expres­ sion of all the principles of the Kingdom of Heaven necessary for man to know, must be on its human side based upon the principles of equality, otherwise a true knowledge of God with all that it im­ plies must be cut off. A man has the faculty of vision and the organ of sight, and if the two are placed together upon a plane that harmonizes with the laws of light, objects are brought into view and the joy of noting all their features fully gratified. But if the organ of sight is made defective by being placed· out of har­ mony with the laws of light and the faculty of vision, the whole plan and purpose of gratifying the sense of sight ac1d the enlargement of the spirit is a failure. So the Jewish Church, by its false notions and corrupt practices, being incompetent to give full expression to all the principles of the Kingdom of Heaven, all communication between God and the people were cut off, and they simply held the form without having the power of Godliness. See how apt and ap­ propriate the Saviour's quotation of the prophecy of Isaiah: "For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing and their eyes they have c:osed, lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them." The administration of a polity based upon the theory of gross inequality among the people, had brought on a condition of degeneration whose sad results had paralyzed the seat of the affections, had blunted the sense .of hearing as to make it practically useless, and so beclouded the vision as to render it incapable of seeing even the clearest gleams of divine light-the Son of Goel Himself. The fault of all this moral corruption must be laid at the door of the Jewish Church, that claimed to be the channel through which flowed the water of life. How can light be transparent and vitalizing when illuminated by an atmosphere murky with the miasma of a boggy territory? How can water, even from the mountain side, be pure,. medicinal, and life-·giving, that flows through an impure channel?

We can see now how a pure Church, with a pure adrninistra­ tion, has so much to do with the salvation of the world; and the Saviour's plan of Church Government and Church life, laid down in the text, if carefully followed, will produce in the individual cliristian that godlike image which sin has obliterated. Not only were old ideas, long slumbering, to be awakened, but a new creation with loftier ideas was to be included in the new order of Church life, followed by the Holy Spirit, who was to stimulate the memory that it might hold in full possession all the utterances of the Divine Teacher. The teaching of the Old Testament's prophets by the Lord was by the method of inspiration. When the thought first came to the human mind, how can the Infinite commune with the finite? doubtless that which at first suggested itself was a com­ mtmication from without. The thought of man in his early his- HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY SI

tory was that God spoke in the wind and storm and other of nat­ ure's voices, while some held that communion with the soul came through the ministry of angels, as doubtless it often did. But the inspiration proper which constituted the Old Testament mode of prophetic illumination was by dreams and vision. The wise men of ancient times called it ecstacy, or absence~a getting out of their bodies to think. E::c, out of Histanai, to set, to stand. A state in which the mind is rapt, or carried away beyond the reach of ordin­ ary impressions and surroundings. A state in which the natural sense are closed and another class of agencies made to appear, ris­ ing rank beyond rank, producing the teal and visible evidence that uncovers eternal verities to the human gaze. The prophet of God in the olden time was lifted out of himself, lifted beyond his own consciousness, and separated for the time from his individual per­ sonality. For the time being he is made a breath of the Infinite mind, and the recipient of a message which he could not always un­ derstancl. The old prophet had no labored process to go through, he saw; he had no logical or constructive proof to develop, he bore witness; and the testimony was so authoritative, complete, and di­ rect, as to bring conviction to every earnest mind and heart that it was the message of the Divine Father to his chosen people. By the force of habit long established we are accustomed to say, the prophecy of Isaiah, or of Jeremiah; but the real fact is they were the utterances of God passing the lips of those ancient worthies of Old Testament times. But Revelation is different in that instead of the creature being depressed, or pushed out of his body to make room -for the activities of his Creator, he is elevated to a spiritual plane with the Creator and ever afterwards kept there. In the I 5th Chapter of John this fact is clearly set forth by the Divine Teacher Himself. "Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you." 3rd. v. "If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you." 7th. v. So we see how Christ lifts us up to Him­ self. No mind can discover itself to another mind unless they meet on the same level. The school teacher does not go down to, and live on the pupil's level, but lifts him up by placing him in school and putting books in his hand; and the plane on which he teaches his pupil is not the point in which he is his superior, fout the point in which he is his equal; and this is the point of contact, where the medium is set up that carries the information from the mind of the teacher to that of the pupil, making it a revelation. It is precisely because the pupil has found a spot, in which his mind is not different from that of the teacher; precisely because the pupil has experienced a feeling which corresponds and responds to the feeling in the teacher's heart, that he is able to recognize in the teacher's words a revelation to his own mind; and the process goes on until the pupil becomes in every sense the equal of the teacher. So the Divine Teacher our elder Brother, in His own school, 52 HISTORY OF TI-IE TREDWAY FAMILY lifts us up to Himself, and finding in our hearts and minds the spot and point of correspondence, reveals Himself to us; and the likeness to Him becomes more perfect as the spiritual unfolding progresses; and though the future completeness of spiritual confor­ mity baffles all the powers of our conception, yet the work and the resemblance commences here, and from glory to glory, as by the spirit of the Lord we advance in likeness to Him.

In following the thought of the Apostle Patil in his communi­ cation to the Corinthian brethren, he rather disparages supernat­ ural gifts in comparison with habitual attitudes of mind. Very clearly is this manifested in the thirteenth chapter of first Corin­ thians. He tells the rr;embers of that Church, that he might have all the eloquence of men and of angels, and it would be an empty sound without love. Might have the gift, or inspiration of proph­ ecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and without the possession of love it was a profitless accomplishment. The giant strength of his faith might lift mountains from their firm foundations and cast them into the sea; but without the perman­ ent and stimulating force of divine love it would account for nothing. The possession of prophetic illumination, of mystical knowledge, of supernatural tongues, is but a transitory state, be­ cause the prophet is lifted out of himself and becomes a passive organ, and when he returns to himself again he loses his inspira­ tion. But to be in love, is a condition which can only exist, when there is already in existence a point in common between two minds, which is based upon the possession of a quality common to both. A meeting can only take place "in love, where a meeting has already taken place in nature"; and no man can reach unto the knowledge of God who is not himself rooted and grounded in love. Listen to the apostle in his letter to the Church at Ephesus: "That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his spirit in the inner man; that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled with all the full­ ness of God."-Ephes. 3 :16-19. And what may be felt today in the individual christian heart is but a re-echo of the gospel's original expression: "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see Goel." -Matt. S :8.

Looking superficially at the physical world around us it seems solid and fixed, but in the presence of the laboratory it declines from solids to liquids, and from liquids to gases, and perhaps to more simple elements. The physical universe is but the shadow and dream of the spiritual universe; and the work of the most emin­ ent scientists today is not downward toward a grosser materialism, but upward toward the highest spiritual philosophy where the divine light of revelation merges into the blaze of scientific invention and discovery. The conservation of forc.e, therefore, the conservation HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 53 of life, and the conservation of spirit, are today, the themes which move in the loftier realms of science and theology.

John attributes the work of creation in very pointed languagt to Jesus Christ, when he says: "Without Him was not anything made that was made." It is a popular notion to read the latter clause as a redundancy, which does not bring out the whole meaning.

The Evangelist meant to declare, that by the Divine Logos ev­ erything was made which was required to be made. But he strongly implies that there was something which did not require to be made; something already in existence which only needed to be utilized; and he does not leave us long in doubt as to what that something was. In the following verse he says: "IN HIM was life, and the life was the light of men." Other things were created by Him, but life was eternally IN HIM. Spiritual entities therefore, are the only real things in the universe. The thought stimulated by divine love, that sweeps the horizon of an intelligent mind; an idea that grows into a system, which draws men to its support as guests come to a banquet; a revelation which exerts an influence as the waves of the sea when ships are destroyed, is the real perma­ nent thing in this world. And this is what every Christian may feel in his heart and recognize in his mind.

It is this that makes martyrs who witness to the truth with their lives; that develops preachers for a pure gospel; that raises up Reformers in the Church of Jesus Christ when the church stands sorely in need of them. Evil in any shape in the Church is so antagonistic to righteousness that good men must criticize and oppose it or lose their hold on Goel; and it is this fact that makes men so tenacious of religious liberty ancl spiritual purity.

A great spiritual force of divine love and flowing out of rt 1s the great principle of the Brotherhood of Man. Other-regarding otherism, or altruism, the struggle for the existence and well-being of another, is the principle that is attracting- the attention of the world today. Humanity in the mass under the old order of eccles­ iastical centralization was not, and could not be intelligently com­ prehended ; it was therefore necessary to limit the extension to the individual man that a clearer knowledge of the race might be ob­ tained; so the prophets and seers in social science, under the in­ fluence of the higher forms of christianity, left the mass and took up the study of the units-the individual man in order to fully ttn­ derstancl the mission and destiny of humanity. Scholars and wise men who have formed the outlook committees for the last century have reached the satisfactory conclusion that every thought and plari of the individual, every affection of his nature is a shadow and image of his inner life, so that a spirit may come to be known t1ow from only a single thought as Agassiz came to know a fish by only a single scale; and with this knowledge of the individual a more exact knowledge of the race is possible. The bunching pro- 54 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

cess, the synthetical method of studying and comprehending the race for the purposes of improvement, has been largely superseded by the analytical method, and, as experience shows, with more satis­ factory results. Questions in Church and State affecting the Brotherhood of Man in its social and individual features, mark the trend of all wise interrogation today.

Such questions as the ethical influence in the economic problems of the present age; the sacrifice of conscience in the social world; material resources in relation to spiritual liberty; New Testament teachings in relation to private property; the social force of relig­ ion and the functions of the pulpit in the realm of discussion, are some of the lines along which all soul questionings are running to­ day, because the ethical principle is the source and real basis upon which they are established, and form which must flow not only their shape and complexion but final solution. In this sense all is sacred and nothing is secular, for all things terminate on Christ.

Already the impression is abroad that in the order of obligatiou the care and preservation of the Church in the individual, must al­ ways take precedence of the care and preservation of the Church in the mass; and this can be better accomplished by that Church that establishes its polity and methods of administration upon the prin­ ciple of equality; the capital fact of which our forefathers saw and felt the influence of when they stood boldly up for representative Methodism. The inroads of the representative principle in Church and State has held the thought of the world now for many years. Autocratic government is fading away and kings slipping into the background; and the individual man coming to be accounted a val­ uable factor. In our student clays we made note of the decline and fall of the Roman Empire; but now we realize the truth that noth­ ing which has life in it can decline and fall. 'The wasting away of empires made and perpetuated for the benefit of the few as against the many. is but the breaking up of the clods above the growth of the individual man. There have been born into this world and sanctified by the grace of God, men who have been more to the race than the standard values of whole empires; because men have been right and empires wrong; and it is written in the woof and fibre of man's being not to be satisfied with wrong. This altruistic prin­ ciple then, this brotherhood of man in Christ, moving in an atmo­ sphere so elevated and rare as to reduce all material magnificence to toys, has in it all the elements that go to make up a christian char­ acter. Under this tuition of the divine Master religion may become to every man, not merely the expression of a creed with what it may signify, but a vital experience; not a restraint, keeping him from that which he needs and loves, but a dynamic force that feels the touch of humanity, appealing to all that is highest and best within him, not so much an insurance of the life to come, but a program for the present world with all its developing activities. Here in this life is the work to be clone that is to bring the full recognition of a brotherhood in Christ. The Saviour's mission in the world was to HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 55 rescue men from a narrow selfishness, give them deeper feelings, wiser choices, and broader views; and his efforts in the world were rooted in the struggle to develop and preserve the spiritual life of His people. And just as he labored for the improvement of men, out of his great affection for the world, so every christian is mor­ ally bound to the extent of his ability to do good to all men, espec­ ially unto them who are of the household of faith. Furthermore the witness of this catholic fraternity, this universal brotherhood, is never spurious or pretentious; but its common testimony is as loya1 to this great principle as the needle to the pole star. There is a spiritual infallibility in the concurrent testimony of the christian ex­ perience in all departments of the Church's activity. Vital touch with this fraternity is essential to membership in the living Christ. Love of the brethren is direct evidence that we have passed from the blighting, withering, influence of death, to the quickening, stimu- 1ating power of spiritu2.l life. To be in fellowship with the Church of Christ, is to be in fellowship with Christ Himself. This is the episcopacy that the world is hungering for today, and not the make believe, the counterfeit, that is so popular with ambitious men. Bib­ lical episcopacy is not, and never has been a question of inequality, and of class legislation; a question of governing, an authority of law, but of love; and the whole clecalogue of truth which grows out of love.

Jewish officialism as the Saviour found it, and which brought from His lips the utterance and sentiment of the text, was what de­ stroyed the city of Jerusalem and wrecked the Jewish Theoracy; and episcopacy as it is found in the world today, has always been a disturbing element in the Church. It gave birth to the fiction of apostolic succession with all its attendant evils through which a cor­ rupt hierarchy became drunk with the blood of the saints. It pro­ duced the doctrine which depreciated marriage and made celibacy an artificial virtue. It brought forth ecc1esiastical centralization and popish prestige; and this anti-Scriptural institution, based upon the erroneous theory of inequality, with its long roots sunk into the sub­ soil of the Church's life has been the source of all the trouble the Church has ever had. Instead of men in the humility of their heart giving themselves as a living sacrifice to the welfare of the Church, they have demanded that the Church should minister to their spir­ itual pride. It is no wonder that reformations have arisen; rather it is a surprise that they did not come sooner that the injuries which wrought such havoc might be corrected. Like the Divine Teacher men who have instituted these movements of reform in the Church, who have been called of Goel to improve the condition of their fellowmen and lift the race to a higher destiny, were not found to be in that class which the economist calls producers. Empty­ handed, they were not gatherers of material wealth in any strict sense of the term. Poor in this world's goods, they have been scholars, poets, historians, martyrs, reformers, and the builders and makers of empires and civilizations. Men like Moses, Paul, Luther, Bunyan, Fox, \Vesley and the Reformers of American Methodism. HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

This charmed circle of choice spirits and their fellows, living in other ages of the world, constitute a privileged class who seem to have had access to the profound secrets and structure of nature and of being, by some higher methods than those employed by ordinary men.

Depth of experience and clearness of vision, brought on by a crisis for which they were not responsible, led ocu forefathers to conclusions which could not be realized in the Church founded in 1784 by the preachers alone, and without the consent of their breth­ ren, the laity. They had come up into zones of feeling and ex­ perience where such a Church polity offered no place for the play of those higher activities which were necessary to the further growth and unfolding of their spiritual life. They would not there­ fore be hushed to silence, or lost in the multitude, or shelved by a problem, or buried beneath the actual as it then presented itself. In the movement for a representative principle where the ministry and laity could have and enjoy equal rights and equal responsibili­ ties, they met all the contingencies which heroes have been forced to meet since the dawn of history. With eminent propriety it may be said of our forefathers what Carlyle said of Martin Luther: "Great, not as a hewn obelisk, but as an Alpine mountain,-so simple, hon­ est, spontaneous, not setting up to be great at all; there for quite another purpose than that of being great. Ah yes: unsubduable granite, piercing far and wide into the heavens; yet in the clefts of its mountains, and green beautiful valleys with flowers." Ah, yes, my brethren, true spiritual heroes were our forefathers, for which all the present and all the future in American Methodism will be grateful to Heaven. What are some of the facts which place us where we are today, the representatives of a Church committed to a high mission in the world? One authority assumes to say that Mr. Wesley, in 1784, sent over three regularly ordained clergymen; but, preferring the episcopal mode of Church government to any other, he solemnly set apart, by the imposition. of his hands and prayer, one of them, Thomas .Coke, Doctor of Civil Law, late of Jesus College, in the University of Oxford, and a Presbyter in the Church of England, for the Episcopal office, and having delivered to him letters of episcopal orders, commissioned him to set apart Francis Asbury, then General Assistant of the Methodist Society in America, for the same episcopal office. M. E. Discipline, page r6. Long before that event, which has had so much to do with Ameri­ can Methodism, Mr. Wesley, in studying Lord King's account of the history of the primitive Church, became convinced that bishops and Presbyters were synonymous terms; and no one expressed himself more clearly and unequivocally on episcopacy, than did John Wesley, on this great question which has agitated the Church for some many years. It is an undisputed fact that Mr. Wesley took all necessary care of the Methodist Societies in England and Ireland, and super­ intended the American Societies, up to a period just previous to the Revolutionary War, without seeking or obtaining episcopal orders from any bishop in the Church of England; and if so why was it HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 57 necessary to ordain a bishop to take Mr. Wesley's place? It is claimed that Dr. Coke was ordained as bishops usually are in the Church of England, which was always done in public with very im­ pressive ceremonies. The only persons present when Dr. Coke was set apart as superintendent of the American Societies, were Rev. James Creighton, Dr. Coke, Mr. Whatcoat, and Mr. Vasey. Mr. Wesley ordained as elders Mr. Vasey and Mr. Whatcoat. They at once in connection with Rev. James Creighton, assisted Mr. Wes­ ley in setting apart Dr. Coke as superintendent of the American Societies. So that he could not have been ordained as bishops usually are.

The Acts of the Apostles notes a similar transaction which took place among the prophets and teachers of the Church in Antioch. "As they ministered unto the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, separate me Barnabus and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away to Cyprus and other points where they did missionary work for the Church-Acts XIII. But nobody believes that in the laying on of the hands by their brethren, ordained them as permanent officers in the Church to rule and gov­ ern it for life; nor did Mr. Wesley.

In a letter to Mr. Asbury dated London, September the 20th, 1788, nearly four years after the organization of the Church in Am­ erica, Mr. Wesley had this to say on the question of episcopacy: "But one point my dear brother, I am a little afraid both the Dr. and you differ from me. I study to be little, you study to be great; I creep, you strut along. I found a school, you a college. Nay and you call it after your own names. 0, beware. Do not seek to be somethiqg. Let me be nothing, and Christ be all in all. One in­ stance, of this your greatness, has given me great concern. How can you, how dare you, suffer yourself to be called a bishop? I shudder, I start at the very thought. Men may call me a knave, or a fool, a rascal, a scoundrel, and I am content, but they shall never, by my consent call me a bishop. For my sake, for God's sake, for Christ's sake, put a full end to this."-Moore's Life of Wesley, Vol. 2, page 28. We must conclude then, if Mr. Wesley recommended the episcopal form of government for the American Societies, and then in less than four years write the letter, a part of which has been quoted in your hearing, he must have been a very different man from what we think he was. My brethren, the trouble was not with Mr. Wesley; it was with someone else. It is accepted by all intelligent people that a Church has the right to choose for itself a practical form of polity or government at the beginning of its existence. The members possess also the right to change, alter or amend it at, or in any period of the Church's his­ tory after it has been adopted. The Methodist Societies of Am­ erica in 1784 held it in their power to organize themselves under any form of government deemed by them the most acceptable and judicious; the Congregational, the Episcopal, or the Presbyterian. 58 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

But our forefathers contended that the travelling preachers under the erroneous notions of Dr. Coke, had no right to organize a Church without the knowledge and consent of those societies, but wholly against their desires and convictions as to the character and polity of the Church. It was at this point that an issue was raised that finally resulted in a division of Methodism in these United States.

Rev. Dennis B. Dorsey, fired with an energy for the spread of God's Kingdom and moved by the Holy Spirit to enter the minis­ try, joined the Baltimore Conference in 1820. It was a time of great prosperity and Methodism was in the early flush of its glory. It was, however, an eventful period, growing out of the fact that sagacious and thoughtful men discussed questions of Church polity, and sought to bring about a change in the Denomination as to make it in its essential features a representative Church; as all passed his­ tory and experience, all ecclesiastical abuses warned them of the danger toward which they were drifting. In the fifth year of his ministry, Dennis B. Dorsey met with a copy of the "Mutual Rights," the contents of which made a deep and lasting impression on his mind and heart.· He loved Methodism in all its features with the ardor of his young manhood; and it is not a matter of surprise that deep solicitude took possession of his heart, that the Church should endeavor to divest itself of such aspects of governmental arrange­ ment as seemed to be at war with her permanent peace and useful­ ness. For eighteen months he was quiet and thoughtful. ·Then deeply considering all the possibilities involved, pondering all the contingencies that might arise, and conscientiously surveying the whole question, reached his conclusions and took his position. He was cited before the Conference for reading the Mutual Rights and admonished to desist. Dennis B. Dorsey stood up in his pla,~e and in a quiet but firm manner gave his reply that it was his privilege to read what the bishops read, what the preachers read, and what the book agents read, and exchanged the Methodist Magazine for. The address was not satisfactory; a vote was taken and recorded against him. He was called before the body the next day and again in­ terrogated. He took the floor again, strong in the defence of his own christian manhood. Again was a vote taken, now as to the passage of his ministerial character; and the response was NO; and. so the deed was done; and the Rev. Dennis B. Dorsey by the delib­ erate action of the Baltimore Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, was left without an appointment, and at the next session of the Conference was formally expelled from the comni.union of the Church. Asa Shinn, that genius for Biblical exegesis and holy meditation addressed a letter to the Conference in which he said: "You have laid a heavy arm of authority upon a young man be­ cause he has recommended and circulated our periodical publication. Have you any law for this? Where is it? In the discipline? Iri the Scriptures? In the Codes of the United States, or of the State of Maryland? If in none of these, must you not own that it was a perfectly lawless act? And is the Baltimore Conference without HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 59

law to God, or is she under the law of Christ? Nicholas Snethen, in an article reviewing the action of the Baltimore Conference said: "The fiery trial has come upon one who is as the skeleton of a man, and yet I go free. Mysterious Providence. Thank God the afflicted man's soul is in health; his fortitude is unimpaired by dis­ ease; he has the courage and constancy of a martyr." Then lift­ ing up his heart to God he wrote: "Let the young man live and not die. Let not the wife of his youth be a premature widow. I can­ not now desert the cause and be harmless."

So this quiet young minister of the gospel of Christ, pure in heart and life, industrious and faithful in pulpit and pastorate, is suddenly and unexpectedly confronted with extraordinary condi­ tions ; but the hour strikes, and he is found equal to the emergency and entitled to all the honors that representative Methodism can bestow. Until the expulsion of Dennis B. Dorsey, Methodist Re­ form to a great extent was nebulous and shadowy, an issue of words, controversy, agitation and experimer,t. But when he stood up and struck for religious liberty the sky was cleared and the time for decision at hand; and the conflict set in motion seventy years ago is still being waged until now the members of the Maryland Conference, with the laity their brethren, as soldiers of the cross, like the old tenth legion in Caesar's Roman army have safely crossed the Rubicon of fear, and doubt, and experiment; and with dented shields and splintered spears, indicative of your prowess on many a hotly contested field are marching in from the jungles and far off frontiers scarred and battered veterans, with the battle song on your lips and triumphant over every opposition.

In the crisis now upon our forefathers there was nothing to do but to organize a Church whose polity and doctrine would meet the views and feelings of all concerned; so on April the 2nd, 1829, after a year's wise preparation, the Maryland Annual Conference held its first session in St. John's Church, Baltimore, Mel.

If a principle may be known by its correlative, if an effect by its magnitude can in any way minister to the explanation and im­ portance of a Cause, if it deepens the life, if it gives keener per­ ception to the moral sense, if it enriches and gives larger grasp to the mental forces and makes broader and grander the spiritual life of humanity, then we must conclude that the Cause must be corre­ spondingly great. Looking, therefore, at the results of the reform movement which took place seventy-one years ago; the interest it has awakened, the breadth of mind it has developed, the questions in Church government it has solved, the great volume of public sen­ timent, which like honey has percolated all Methodism, we may logi­ cally conclude that that which produced such an effect must have been of sublime magnitude. In the organization of the Methodist Protestant Church our forefathers laid wires on which at some fut­ ure clay the vitalizing currents of all higher things in representative Methodism might travel. 60 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

. Who shall describe that conference of christian men-historic now for ever more? The interest, the unparalleled sympathy and communion of these brethren, their conviction and faith, and work; the beauty and tenderness and steadfast charm of their association; of these inner facts no clear record can ever be given that will out­ line a perfect picture of that group of remarkable men whose in­ fluence is to run commensurate with the whole history of the Meth­ odist Protestant Church. Gathered there from all parts of the State, they were fused and governed by the principle of equality of the brotherhood in the Lord Jesus Christ. The depth and tone of its ordinary conversation, the Bible reading in the beginning of its sessions, and the solemn hush which fell upon it in the hour of opening prayer. The sHbjects and questions presented for serious consideration and wise solution, and the genuine simplicity of de­ bate and mutual interchange of views by these men of God whose life interests were now committed to the cause of a Church polity and doctrine whose inherent truth was the inborn right to worship God according to the dictates of their own conscience-a conscience enlightened by the word of God and developed by a religious ex­ perience will never be forgotten. There was just enough opposition and rivalry among the members I imagine, to give to the Confer­ ence as a whole that deep interest and vital force which has l;>een characteristic of every convention of men, which has convened for the uplifting of the human race since this land has become a refuge for the down trodden and oppressed. The presence of these repre­ sentative men, the self-evident success of the gathering, the har­ monious, the joyous beginning of the Conference, all had in them the proof and the prophecy of final success, and in the presence of these signs of victory all spirit of faction and opposition was fused into one generous glow of righteous emulation. All this under the blessed influence of that Scripture, long ago uttered by the Saviour: -"But be ye not called Rabbi: for one is your Teacher, and all ye are brethren. CHAPTER IV

Re-TVrittcn by WILLIAM T. TREDWAY, Editor and Publisher of the TREDWAY GENEALOGY.

History of the English branch from the family tree, giving the progenitors of the Tredways, of Harford County, Maryland; Cosh­ octon County, Ohio; Dubuque, Iowa, and others as noted in the following pages.

(The small num"rals following names of Tredways indicate the generation from Henry Tredway of England, earliest ancestor.)

John Tredway, who had a son Crispen Tredway, left Rutland­ shire, England, for the Province of Maryland, in America, in 1700. He died on the voyage and was buried at sea. His son Crispen Tredway landed in the Province of Maryland, Baltimore, ( now Har­ ford) County, and settled at the head of Bush river, in the year 1700.

By turning to the pedigree of the family of Tredway, copied from Blore's History of Rutland, as shown o::i page 32 of this his­ tory, it will be seen that this John Tredway was 17 years of age in 1634: also that he was the second son of Robert Tredwav, who was in the Commission of the Peace for Lincolnshire and a Knight m 1653.

This Robert Tredway was in turn a son of John Tredway, who died in r6ro, and is buried in Christ Ghurch, Farrington, within London.

This last named John Tredway was a son of Robert Tredway, second son of Henry Tredway, who was a second brother of Thomas Tredway. This last named Robert Tredway was of Eas­ ton, County of Northampton, adjoining Stanford, and married Mar­ garet, daughter of Guy Fisher.

It will be noted also that Henry Tredway, the eldest ancestor of whom we have knowledge, married the daughter of Duncombe, and had a son Richard Tredway, Esquire, one of the Benchers of the Inner Temple, at London, and Reader of that Society in the 30th ancl 39th years of Queen Elizabeth ( 1634).

While we do not have the date of the birth or death of either Thomas Tredway or Henry Tredway, they are the oldest progenitors and it must be believed that they were both born back around 1580 or 'go, towards the end of the r6th Century.

Turning to Crispen Tredway, who is in the sixth generation, a son of John Tredway, who emigrated from England and settled near Baltimore, in r 700, we trace the direct lineage back 200 years in 70 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

England, and down more than 200 years in America. The ·,rac-­ ing in America of the direct descendants being as follows:

The last named Crispen Tredway, settling in America in 1700, had a son Thomas Tredway (7) of Harford County, Mel., who in turn had sons and daughters, as follows:

JoHN TREDWAY (8) married Sarah Hanson, of Harford County Md., died December 24, 1767, having one daughter, Elizabeth Treci­ way, whose history we have been unable to trace,

The second son of the last named THOMAS TREDWAY (8) was DANIEL TREDWAY, who married Sally Norris, November 22, 1744, both of whom lived, died and were buried at Black Horse, Mel.

This DANIEL TREDWAY is in the direct line of descent of that branch of the family now being treated; and in addition to JonN TREDWAY, previously mentioned, he had brothers and sisters, the sons and daughters of the said THOMAS TREDWAY, as follows:­ WILLIAM TREDWAY, (8) AARON 'TREDWAY (8) MOSES TREDWAY (8) MARY TREDWAY, (8) who married a Cunningham, and lived and . died in Harford County, Md. MosES TREDWAY settled in Virginia, married and raised a very respectable family.

Going back to DANIEL TREDWAY and his wife Sally Norris, we find there were born to them ten children, as follows:-

THOMAS TREDWAY (9) who married Christina Saunders, of Havre de Grace, Harford County, Md. After the d~ath of his wife he migrated to Ohio, and died there in 1819.

The second son of Daniel and Sarah Norris Tredway was DANIEL TREDWAY (9) who married Hannah Magness, of Harford County, Mel., migrating west. This DANIEL TREDWAY came back east and died in Philadelphia. His wife died in Kentucky among her own children whose names and places of residence we have not been able to learn. The third child of Daniel and Sally Norris Tredway was SusAN TREDWAY (9) who married George Hughes, who died in Harford County, near Black Horse, Md. She then married George Ran­ stan, of Philadelphia, who died there. The fourth child of Daniel and Sally Norris Tredway was NANCY TREDWAY, (9) who married George Norris; both lived and died in Harford County, Md. The fifth child of Daniel and Sally Norris Tredway was EDWARD 'TREDWAY (9) born in 1749, and died in Harford County, Mel., April, 1833, in his 84th year. His wife's maiden name was Nancy ---, born in 1764, and died in Harford County, Md., May 18th, 1849, in her 85th year. HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 71

Biographical Sketch of JonN NoRRrs TREDWAY, SR., (1769-1853.)

JoHN NoRRIS TREDWAY, SR., was the youngest son of DANIEL and SARAH (Norris) TREDWAY, and was born September 17, 1769, in Harford County, Maryland, and died in the same community of paralysis February 2, 1853. His boyhood days were not marked by any special event that would be worthy of record. With his broth­ ers and sisters he grew to young manhood in a Quaker home on a tobacco plantation in West Harford, lately wrested from the In­ dians, and known as "Upper Node Forest." He had very little edu­ cational advantages, as compared with the wonderful facilities of the present age; but was possessed of an active mind and a taste for literature, and he soon learned to read and with little assistance mas­ tered the arithmetic, and by close application soon became a fairly well informed man for that day. '

In 1793 he married Miss Ruth Peteet, a daughter of James and Elizabeth (Crabtree) Peteet, of French descent and a large land­ holder in West Harford. He settled on a farm given to him by his father, which was a part of a tract known as Hoenslowheath. Being skillful with tools he built himself a fine log house and settled with his young wife in this new home, that for many years was one of the centres of the community. Here were born his six children who grew to old age, without ever having to call a physician into the home; a fact that was remarkable even for that period. Their names are as fo!Iows: Chenoweth, Thomas, Daniel, Sarah, Ruth and John Nor­ ns.

Although he was born and raised in the atmosphere of a Quaker home, the mystical cast and spirit of the religion of the Friends was not sufficient for his active mind. The qualities of his nature were saturated with an energy that called for greater activity in the sphere of religious life. After the Revolutionary \Var, Freeborn Garrettson, a young Methodist preacher of East Harford began holding meetings throughout the county which made a deep impres­ sion upon the mind and heart of John Tredway, and these impres­ sions were deepened by meetings which he attended at Lovely Lane Meeting House in Baltimore Town whenever he had occasion to visit that centre of interest. In 1803 he became converted and .i oin­ ecl the Methodist Episcopal Church, and became identified with a Classmeeting that was formed in his immediate vicinity. Having no church building in the community he at once threw open his house for preaching which was kept up for many long years, until the Society finally became housed in M'Kendree Chavel which was built within a mile of his home, near Black Horse, on West Harford Circuit. The early Methodist preachers when holding services in private homes stood in front of a stool chair, with the back turned from them, and covered with a reel bandanna handkerchief which HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY every preacher carried at that period of early Methodism. The Bible, discipline and hymnbook were placed upon the seat of the chair, and thus equipped the Messenger of God thundered forth the "sinfulness of sin" to his terror-strickened congregation. John Tredway, however, wished to improve upo:1 this temporary ar­ rangement and adopt one of a more permanent character and dig­ nity, so he constructed with his own hands a portable pulpit for the circuit rider and benches for the people, and in this way added to their comfort, besides giving greater dignity and permanency to the services in the community.

Winning the confidence of his brethren and the preachers on the circuit, he was in time made trustee, steward, classleader, and finally exhorter in the Church, exercising his gifts whenever 02ca­ sion required which was quite often. He was a great friend of the young, and did much to help them to a better life, and his home, in the flash and glow of the preaching hour became the gate of Heaven to many a sin-burdened soul. He, with John Wright, a dear and intimate friend in religion, became the centre around which the in­ terests of the Church revolved for many years, and it can be said with truth that he never betrayed in single trust committed to his care, in the long run of a half century in the Methodist Episcopal Church.

War breaking out with England in 1812-14, he was called into military service by the Government which was very much against his taste and feeling, having in his Quaker home been taught to regard war as a cruel way to settle national questions. He at first said he would not shoot at men, even in battle, but after Admiral Cockburn had captured and laid waste the town of Havre de Grace in his own county, his feelings became intensified against the "Redcoats" and declared he would level his musket at their breasts. Touch a man in the "tender spot" and you will get a response in a vigorous way, which shows that human nature in the main is the same the whole world over. He became a member of Captain Joshua M. Amoss' Company, 42nd Regiment, Maryland State Militia, and served nine months at Fort Madison, near Annapolis, the Capitol of the State. And in 1814, he, with his second son Thomas Tredway, joined Captain J aines Ramply's Company of the same Regiment, then com­ manded by Col. Andrew Turner and Lieut. Col. William Smith. The Company matched from Cooptown, via Rouse's Tavern on the Philadelphia Road to Baltimore, and encamped on Chincapin Hill east of the city, where the command held position until after the Battle of North Point September the 12th, 1814; when the younger men were dismissed to their homes, and John Tredway with other veterans were detailed to occupy the fortifications at Annapolis until after the British had retired from the Chesapeake Bay; when they were also discharged and never afterwards called out. The money paid John Tredway for military service was expended in the pur­ chase of a tenp:ate cooking stove, the first one the family ever own- HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 93 ed. The plates were two inches thick and the stove had to be taken to pieces every time it was removed in spring and fall.

The following interesting letter from Mr. John B. Henderson will give an idea of the high esteen in which John Tredway was held by the people of his own neighborhood:

Black Horse, Harford County, Md., February the 18th, 1886. Rev. Silas B. Tredway, My Dear Brother :-My brother Thomas having in due time received your letter of the 3rd instant, requested me to answer it, as from the difference between his age and mine, and my knowing more of your grandfather in early life than he did, he supposed I could render you more satisfaction on that subject. Your grandfather obtained religion in this neighbor­ hood, and the first class he ever joined was held either in his own house, or else at a small log church called Mt. Horeb, which your father well recollects if he retains his memory. The house in which your grandfather long lived, and in which he died, was a preaching place for our Church for many years. I have been intimate with him and his family ever since about the close of the \i\!ar of 1812-14, for which he, my own father, and a number of our neighbors, were drafted. My first recollection of the matter of your enquiry is, that your grandfather and grandmother, with many others in the neighbor­ hood, held their classmeetings and other religious meetings at Mt. Horeb, from the time of the War until about 1821; at which time Mr. Henry Beck, a very profane tavernkeeper, living at "Black Horse," was strangely brought under the awakening power of the Holy Spirit, to the astonishment of his neighbors, and became sound­ ly converted. He gave up his sinful habits and opened his house for preaching. The aforesaid class of Horeb was held there (Black Horse) I believe, until Mr. Beck moved to near Lake Erie in the spring of 1827. From which time for a number of years that c'ass was held at Widow Henderson's residence in the neighborhood, and in sight of your grandfather's place. When our Church (M'Ken­ dree) was built in 1843, part of this class met there, and part of it (including your grandfather's and grandmother's) still remained at Aunt Sallie Henderson's, as we used to call her, until she died in the early part of 1847. The late Mr. John W. Wright, who was older than your grandfather, had charge of this class from an early date until he removed to Belair in this county about the year 1822 or '23. When he left your grandfather was appointed leader of that class, and so remained until from the infirmities of coming age he re­ signed about 1834. I never heard of his being an exhorter, except that sometimes at prayer meetings he would make a few mild and feeling remarks; not many. He was a son of consolation and not a son of thunder; not boisterous. I don't know that he had an enemy in the world. Every person who knew him, sinner as well as saint, respected him, and I think that had any charge been brought against him in the Church, the evidence against him would have had to have 94 HISTORY OF THE 'TREDWAY FAMILY

been exceedingly clear and strong to have led the committee to con­ demn him. While he was a soldier, and at Fort Madison, he and a few others held daily worship; and I have heard it said, though not by himself, that when some of the soldiers were about to use profane language they would look around to ascertain whether or not your grandfather was in hearing distance, and if he was they would hold in "until a more convenient season," such was their respect for his christian character.

Two things which he related to me prove to my satisfaction that he lived when he joined the Church, at the same place at which he died fifty years afterwards. One was that when he became re­ ligious your grandmother was very much opposed to the Methodists and spoke against them freely. Shortly after this conversation, perhaps on that evening they both went to prayer meeting. Your grandfather of course prayed very earnestly and frequently for his clear companion, and that night the spirit of the Lord reached her heart, convinced and converted her, put a new song into her mouth insomuch that the loudest shout they had among them was seconded by her. She afterward continued steadfast in the faith, until death removed her to a better world in 1857. The other instance was that while he was engaged in family worship in his own house, near this, then the home of your great uncle, Crispen Tredway came to the house and stood outside listening to your grandfather's prayer for him. After prayer was ended your uncle said to him: "John, what made you pray as you did? You nearly broke my heart." He was (in his person) about-live feet, nine or ten inches high, corpulent, and remarkably well built for strength. In his younger days no or­ dinary man could have handled him had he been disposed to exert himself. But it would have required a necessity to have brought him to this point. He was eminently a man of peace. I believe he had some Quaker blood in his veins. He once told me (in proof of this) that had he been called into battle during the early stage of the British War he intended to discharge his musket into the,, air, such were his convictions about taking the life of even an enemy. But, continued he, after Admiral Cockburn had burned Havre de Grace and abused defenceless innocent old men and wo­ men, I could have drawn as true a sight on him as ever I did on a squirrel. Such was his patriotism, for he was no tory. He was al­ ways considered one of our most upright and quiet citizens. He loved home and its scenes, but was a very friendly and obliging neighbor; and none would more quickly resign the quietness of home than he, if duty required it. But his long race is ended. He has long since laid his armor off. I went over to see him on the day he was carried home paralyzed and speechless. There he lay, touched by the shaft of his final foe, his eyes closed as he approached-his dissolution and the sleep of death. When spoken loudly to, he would suddenly move his head, and if anyone would feel his wrist, he would instantly draw his arm away, fearing the lancet. I believe he never would let a physician bleed him. And in conclusion let me say that if the Angels in Heaven rejoice when a sinner is converted, HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 95 then we may believe that he rejoices that one of his grandchildren has been placed on Zion's walls to blow the trumpet of the gospel and call sinners to repentance.

I am sorry I have been so tedious, but I have aimed to gratify you. I remain, very truly your friend and brother in the gospel. Pray for me. JOHN B. HENDERSON.

Mr. Henderson knew more about John Tredway in his married life than he did in his earlier life, as his letter shows that he was not informed of his Quaker descent, and knew not that he lived and died on the farm given to him by his father who lived just one mile away, his birthplace and boyhood home, and where his remains are now interred in the old family burying ground, close to his father, Daniel Tredway, and his grandfather, Thomas Tredway.

"I like the ancient Saxon phrase which calls The burial ground, God's Acre. It is just; It consecrates each grave within its walls, And breathes a benison o'er the sleeping dust." -Longfellow. CHAPTER Vlll

Biographical Sketch of CRISPIN TREDWAY (1767-1855)

By REV. SILAS B. TREDWAY

CRISPIN TREDWAY was the fourth son, and tenth child of DANIEL and SARAH (Norris) TREDWAY. He was born November the 25th, 1767, in Harford County, Maryland, near Bethel Presby­ terian Church. He grew up on his father's farm with all the range of field and forest which characterized a farmer boy's life at that period of Maryland's history. In his early youth he learned to handle the rifle with consummate skill, and rarely went to the forest that he did not return with a plentiful supply of game which was abundant at that time. He took a bone from the wing of a wild turkey and cleansed and fashioned it into a whistle, so that with it he could perfectly imitate the call of these shy birds, bring them within shot of his place of concealment and kill one or more at every fire. On his way to "Baltimore Town" one morning before dawn with wagon and four horses, he saw on the limb of a large chestnut tree about half a mile from his home, two wild turkeys roosting. He left his team in charge of his sister Sallie who gener­ ally accompanied him to town, returned to the house for his rifle, and killed them both at one shot, taking them on to town and selling them in the market. He was also skillful in the use of tools. In his younger manhood days he spent most of his winters making wooden mouldboard plows, the only kind then in use. He would go into the forest, find an oak tree that was twisted in the proper shape, ancl from it make his handles six feet; and when it was finished with a wrought iron share it was considered a good plow for that stage of Maryland farming. Often the harrow was made entirely of wood, the teeth being made of good seasoned hickory, which seemed to answer the purpose of smoothing the ground. He built cider mills, flaxbreaks, meat barrels and· butter churns, not only for him­ self but his neighbors as well. He married Elizabeth Peteet, of Harford County, Mel., October 13th, 1794, and settled on a tract of land given to him by his father, known as Hoenslowheath, where all seven of his children were born and where John the oldest one died.

The growing of tobacco, which was for many years the staple crop, without any fertilizer save that of barnyard manure, made the land very poor and unproductive, which rendered it difficult to make a comfortable living with many farmers. The habit was to open a field in the virgin forest and plant it in tobacco five or six years, or until its fertility became exhausted, and then abandon it and clear a new field in the forest for future crops. These impoverished fields were given over to the cattle in the community, and in time would have names attached to them, as Finley's old fields near Jarretts­ ville, and Scott's old fields near Belair, etc. The last war with Eng­ land closing in the latter part of 1814, men began to look with long- HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 97 ing eyes towards the fertile valleys of the Great West which were attracting the attention of the old soldiers of the American Army, as well as other persons who wished to plant homes in that region where rich land could be "had for the taking." In r8r6 frost fell every month in that year in vVestern Maryland, so that it got the nickname of "eighteen hundred and starve to death." All corn and oat crops were destroyed except that planted late in the season and on high hills. This with other surroundings caused many people to leave Maryland and settle in the West, hoping thereby to improve their worldly condition.

Crispin Tredway sold his farm to Robert H. Henderson in 1817 and in the autumn of that year disposed of all his personal effects, except a wagon, two horses, and some household necessaries and mementos, among which was the Family Bible given to him and his. brother John jointly by their father. Placing his family in the wagon with this limited amount of household goods which was to constitute the foundation of family life in their new home, he bid farewell to relatives and neighbors and turned the heads of his horses toward the Ohio River. His oldest living son, Thomas, was then in his eighteenth year, and his youngest child, Sarah E., was in the first year of her age. Some of his grown nephews, with other relatives, accompanied the small wagon train for several miles 0~1 the way before the final separation took place, which was to he maintained for years by some of them, with others for iife; as only two of them, Crispin and his son Thomas, ever returned to visit ·che friends and associations of their old homes in Harford County, Md. They entered the - National Pike at Frederick, Maryland, passing through Hagerstown, Cumberland, through the wilds of the Allegheny Mountains in old Virginia ( now vVest Virginia) and on to Steubenville where they crossed the Ohio River. Their course then lay directly westward until they reached the Wolhoncling Val­ ley in Coshocton County, Ohio, where the family took up their per­ manent residence. Some of the children being young and the wagons laden with all they could carry, short stages was the plan of travelling as being the most successful in a long, and tedious jour­ ney. 'They reached their destination in Ohio about three weeks after leaving Harford County, without any mishap to mar the peace and contentment of the travelers, except in one instance, Crispin Tredway broke the front axletree of his wagon. This would have greatly discouraged an ordinary man in modern times, but not so these hardy pioneers who were always ready for any emergency. They immediately went into camp by the roadside where they re­ mained a day and a night while Crispin Tredway, with the few tools which he had with him, constructed another from a green tree taken from the forest. His mechanical skill stood him in good stead as blacksmith and wheelwright shops like angels' visits were few and far between. In their pilgrimage westward the weather being fine they often camped by the roadside which was the settled custom of many emigrants at that time. The first three years was spent on a rented farm, when a home was secured in the forest of Jackson 98 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FA;vfILY

Township and a log house and barn erected. These buildings like others in that day did not require much time or skill in their con­ struction. The house was built of logs laid one upon another, all being notched, so that the encl and side logs would hold each to the other. The roof was made out of boards split out of. short blocks or pieces of logs, called "clapboards." The cracks between the logs were filled in with clay mortar. A place for the do'or was cut in the side of the house which was made of clap-bo2.rds;, such as were 0:1 the roof. At one encl was the fireplace made of a few stones an:! the chimney, formed of sticks daubed over with mud. There was a small opening that could be covered with a board for a window, or sometimes with a piece of greased paper or rag. With the help or neighbors these houses were generally built in one day.

I had the privilege of paying a visit in 1876 to this ancestr;il home of the Tredway family in Ohio, which I appreciated very much indeed in view of all the circumstances with, which it stands associated. It had plank doors and glass windows and otherwise being improved presented a modern rather than a primitive appear­ ance. In company with Thomas, the oldest son of Crispin Tred­ way, then in the 78th year of his age, and the proprietor of the farm, I stood within its walls, made sacred by so many hallowed as­ sociations, and thought of how much it had to do with the formatio:1 of the character of all those who had dwelt under its roof; some of whom have scattered to other states. while others have gone to that bourne from whence no traveller hath ever yet returned.

CRISPIN TREDWAY died May the 20th, 1855, aged 87 years, 5 h1onths and 26 clays, his wife Elizabeth dying October the r rth, 1865, aged 79 years, Ir months and 9 clays. On the old Patriarch's tomb is this inscription:

"A loving friend. a husband clear, A tender parent lieth here; An honest man in all his ways, In truth and justice spent his clays."

CRISPIN TREDWAY was a man of good native talent and strong force of character. In perseverance, in self-command. in fore­ thought, in all the virtues which conduce to success in life he was far above the average character. He was not only an interesting but a prosperous man as well, in all the relations of life; and the record he has left behind is in strong proof of the fact that the world is better off for his having lived in it. CHAPTER IX

The editor of this genealogy takes up and treats of the de­ scendants of CRISPEN TREDWAY and Elizabeth Peteet, who died and were buried on their own farm, in Jackson Township, Coshocton County, Ohio, the great-grandfather and grandmother of Vv. T. TREDWAY, the compiler, editor and publisher of this work, and of this chapter.

CRISPEN TREDWAY, who married· Elizabeth Peteet, was born November 5, 1767. Elizabeth Peteet was born February 2, 1777. This Crispen Tredway was of the ninth generation removed from his earliest known English ancestor Henry Tredway, of England, in Queen Elizabeth's time. Running hack briefly to make the con­ nection he was the son of Daniel Tredway ( eighth generation) and Sallie Norris Tredway. This Daniel was the son of Thomas Tred­ way, of the seventh generation. of Harford County, Md., who in tum was the son of Crispen Tredway, of the sixth generation, and who settled in Harford County in the year 1700.

CRISPEN TREDWAY, who married Elizabeth Peteet in Harford County, Md., migrated in September 1817 to Ohio, and settled 0:1 a farm near what was called Zeno, in Jackson Township, a short distance ( about five miles) up what is now known as Simmon's Run, from Warsaw, in Coshocton County, Ohio. He died and is buried as otherwise stated in this genealogy on the old farm on which he settled, and which is believed to be the highest pinnacle in Coshocton County, Ohio, and can be seen for many miles from every directio,1, capped as it is and with a huge tree which still stands near the grave of these ancestors. This couple had children of the tenth generation as follows :-

r. Jm-rN TREDWAY, born in Harford County, Mel. Nov. 6, 1796 2. THOMAS TREDWAY, born Aug. r8, 1799, Harford Co., Md. 3. EuzABETH TREDWAY, born May 5 1802, Harford Co., Md. 4. HANNAH TREDWAY, born February 2, 1805. 5. MARY TREDWAY, born December 29, 1809. 6. CoRBIN TREDWAY, born October II, r8rr. 7. SARAH TREDWAY, born February 20, 1817.

Of these children of the tenth generation, nothing is known of John Tredway, the first born.

THOMAS TREDWAY, of the tenth generation, married Olive Severns, of Monongahela County, West Va., March 4, 1823. She cliecl September 1, 1840. Later he married Mary Clark, born July 27, 1809, in Washington County, Pa., who died July 31, 1868. When the writer of this article was a boy six years of age, he at­ tended the funeral and remembers well the long procession which followed her to the grave at Blooming Grove Cemetery (Methodist 100 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

Episcopal); in which cemetery Thomas Tredway and his two wives are buried. This Thomas Tredway was the writer's grandfather.

ELizABETH TREDWAY, of this generation, migrated west with her parents in September 1817, as did also Hannah Tredway, of this family and Mary, Corbin, and Sarah.

THOMAS TREDWAY by his first marriage with Olive Severns had the following children, being· the eleventh generation:~

r. MAHALA, born March 18, 1825, who married James Greer, of Knox County, Ohio, where she lived and died. 2.

THOMAS TREDWAY, by his second marriage, to Mary Clark, had children as follows, of the eleventh generation, (half brothers and sisters of the writer's father).

r. GARRET S. TREDWAY, born October 8, 1844. 2. THOMAS FRANKLIN TREDWAY, born June 30, 1848. 3. WILLIAM H. TREDWAY, born August 20, 1851.

THOMAS F. TREDWAY, born June 30, 1848, (second son of Mary and Thomas Tredway) married Lavina Dickerson March 17, 1870, and had the following children: THURZA M. TREDWAY, born May 16, 1872. CHARLES E. TREDWAY, born November 18, 1882.

THOMAS TREDWAY of the 10th Generation Born in Maryland, August 18, 1799 Son of Crispen and Elizabeth Peteet CHAPTER X

Biographical Sketch of THOMAS 'TREDWAY, (roth. Gen.) 1799-1881.

THOMAS TREDWAY, second son of CRISPIN and EuzABETH PETEET TREDWAY, was born in Harford County, Maryland, August the 18th, 1799. From his youth he was heavy set, strong, and of fine physique. The family traditions concerning his youth leaves the impression that he was somewhat indolent and very much given to the playing of pranks of an innocent kind upon his young associ­ ates in the community. He would ride a horse if he could get astride him anywhere between his ears and tail, going like Jehu at a breakneck pace. On one occasion, however, he came near losing his life when about twelve years of age, by being kicked in the forehead by a vicious horse, seriously fracturing the frontal bone and leaving a deep scar which he carried to his grave.

When in the advance years of his boyhood, being very fond of .hunting, it sometimes got the better of his conscience, and he woutd slip his rifle out the kitchen door and spend the Sabbath in the for­ est, bringing down wild ,turkey, rabbits and other game which were abundant at that time. In one of these Sabbath excursions, how­ ever, the fates were against him. A religious service was being held in his father's house on his return home. His little brother Corbin, seeing him drawing near the house cried out in the midst of the service "Here comes Tom but no game"; which in the nature of things was a great mortification to Tom, ancl to his parents as well; but a· source of a great deal of humor and merryment among Tom's young friends in the neighborhood. He was always the centre of attraction in any company with whom he was associated. In his eighteenth year he went to Ohio with his father's family. Being a robust young man, and the wagon heavily loaded, he walked nearly all the way with the boys who accompanied the other wagons in the train. Soon after his arrival in his new home the change from boyhood to manhood took place and made a profound impression upon him~that wonderful intuition which sometimes manifests it­ self in young men but which cannot be accounted for upon philo­ sophical principles, making a very remarkable change in his tem­ perament and disposition.

In those clays in that new country little or nothing could be accomplished without great manual labor, as farming tools of all kinds were few and simple in their construction. Knowing this, and feeling the forces of the future in him he laid aside his habits of fun ·ancl frolic and earnestly applied himself to the task of not only making a living, but of securing a competency of this world's goods that would make him comfortable in his old age. In his twentv­ first year he, William Carr and Isaac Dorlan were employed by· a drover to drive a lot of stock from Ohio to Baltimore, Md., for which they received a dollar a clay and expenses. They came through HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY rr3

in about six weeks crossing the Allegheny Mountains at Cumberland. Mel. Settling with the drover Thomas Tredway, with his two friends, paid a visit to Harford County for the purpose of seeing his relatives and viewing the scenes of his old home. They arrived in the night at the home of an intimate cousin, Thomas Tredway ( son of John), who was called out of bed to greet the visitors from the west. The meeting between the two cousins of the same name, the sons of two brothers and of two sisters as well, can hardly be de­ scribed. Tfhomas Tredway raised the hat of his western cousin, and placing his finger in the print of the horseshoe in his forehead established at once his identity, and then came the joyful greeting and the overflow of the old hilarity which had been pent up for more than three years. Thomas and his two western friends remained for two weeks enjoying the hospitality and association of beloved kindred; then bid farewell to loved ones and turned their faces to­ ward their western home in the Buckeye State.

DANIEL TREDWAY, (son of John) accompanied the travelers a short distance on their journey, and the main feature of their part­ ing ceremony was a "four handed reel" in the middle of the coun­ try road, which when completed they separated never to meet again on this side of the grave. Daniel Tredway sleeps peacefully in West Liberty M. E. Churchyard, where he was class leader for forty years, Baltimore County, Maryland, and Thomas Tredway, a faithful christian gentleman for many long years has laid down to slumber in Blooming Grove M. E. Churchyard, near Warsaw, Coshocton County, Ohio, with his two friends near him in the great W olhonding Valley of their adopted state. But I am anticipating.

THOMAS TREDWAY, while in Baltimore, purchased a piece of fine cloth with a part of his wages for his future wedding suit, as all clothing in Ohio at that period was "home spun," and unfit as he doubtless thought for so very important occasion as that of taking a wife. On March the 4th, 1823, he was united in marriage to Miss Olive Severns, born 1799 in Monongahela County, Va., (now West Virginia), but who with her parents at the time resided in Coshoc­ ton Coun.ty, Ohio, their new home. Four girls and five boys were the fruit of this union, all of whom reached maturity, married and raised families.

He purchased of his neighbor, Col. Simmons, a fine tract of heavily timbered land at $350 per acre, which in course of time he by arduous labor and wise economy he turned into a beautiful farm, with a fine brick residence and all necessary out buildings, which constitute an attractive home. He was a very successful farmer and in maturer years was the proud possessor of about eight hun­ dred acres of valuable land, including his father's ( Crispin Tred­ way) home place.

On the rst of September, 1840, he lost his wife which was a source of great affliction to him, being a man of strong home tastes II4 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY and feelings. He afterwards married Mrs. Mary Clark who pre­ ceded him to the grave in July 31st, 1868.

He died May the 13th, 1881, in the eighty-third year of his age, full of christian hope. Being a leading man in the community his death made a deep impression and the whole community attendee! his funeral in high appreciation of his character. The end of the good man is peace.

In 1876 I paid him a visit in his pleasant home which he highly appreciated. Though in his 78th year he was a fine rider, and to­ gether on horseback we rocle from farm to farm, salting sheep, ancl cattle and colts in which as a successful stock raiser he took un­ usual interest. He made an appointment for me at the· Mohawk Valley M. E. Church on the Sabbath where a large congregation assembled to hear the gospel and trust some good was accomplished in the name of the Lord.

History of CRISPEN TREDWAY, of the Eleventh Generation (1834-1895)

The history of CRISPEN TREDWAY as published in this chapter was written in 1895, by his son William 'T. Tredway and transmitted to the Rev. Silas B. Tredway, in Maryland, and by his children re­ turned to V\/. T. Tredway with other data for the publication of this genealogy. It is for this reason given just as it was then written.

Before starting it, however, for the benefit of the hundreds of Tredways and those who carry Tredway blood in their veins, we give his actual forebears back to the time of Queen Elizabeth.

A more minute history of the early progenitors will be found in the first chapter of the genealog-y on pages S to 32, so that coming down to Crispen Tredway the tenth generation, and the subject of the following sketch, we give the ancestors by name and generation as follows: Henry Tredway, rst; Robert Tredway, 2nd; John Tred­ way, 3rd; Robert Tredway, 4th; John Tredway, 5th; and Crispen Tredway, 6th, all natives of England. Then starting with Crispen Tredway, the 6th, in the Province of Baltimore, we have Thomas Tredway, 7th; Daniel Tredway. 8th; Crispen Tredway, 9th; Thomas Tredway 10th; and Thomas Tredway, II th.

CRISPEN TREDWAY, second son of Thomas Tredway, was born August 9, 1834, at the old Thomas Tredway homestead near the village of Warsaw, in the County of Coshocton, and State of Ohio.

Amid the busy cares of life on a large farm and the rude facili­ ties then afforded, he obtained only a fair education in the common branches, then taught in the common schools of Ohio. He received, however, what seemed at that date, and still obtains largely in farm­ ing circles as the more important drill for success in life a thorough training in all the lines and duties necessary to make a good, honest, industrious, intelligent and successful farmer.

At the age of twenty-two, or in his twenty-third year, on Octo­ ber 9, 1856, he was united in marriage to Miss Melvina V. James, a daughter of Thomas James, the owner of an adjacent farm in J ef­ ferson Township, and at once moved upon and purchased the farm in Bedford Township, nearby, where the remainder of his life was spent and where he died September ro, 1895, at the age of 61 years, r month and r clay.

He was thrice married. By his first wife he had six children, three boys and three girls, all of whom he lived to see well educated. All married but the youngest daughter and all well established in their various and useful occupations and professions. HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 117

He was a thrifty, frugal, industrious farmer. For a number of years-between 1860 and 1870--he was associated with Robert bean, Daniel Shaw and John G. Elder, all neighbors on Simmon's Run, as partners in a horsepower threshing machine. He was the youngest of the four by a number of years, but what is strange is the coincidence in their death. John G. Elder still survives ( Oct. 1895) but Daniel Shaw, Robert Dean and Crispen Tredway died in the order named within seven months. They were: "Comrades, Comrades, Ever since they were boys, Sharing each other's sorrows, Sharing each other's joys." and it seemed that when the thread of life was broken m one it brought down all.

In 1873 Crispen Tredway undertook the work of erecting on his farm of 265 acres a large dwelling house. He attended to the cut­ ting and hauling of the timber to the saw mill for all the lumber necessary for its construction, and his good helpmate Melvina V. Tredway did all the duties of boarding the sawyers, the carpenters, plasterers, stone masons painters and tinners made necessary as an incident to the farm life. In 1875, the structure was completed and was said to be the best farm frame dwelling house in Coshocton County. 'They had only gotten moved into their new home and had it well furnished when on May 27, 1876, death after two days' ill­ ness of acute inflammatory rheumatism attacking the heart, ruth­ lessly tore from him his life partner and almost broke up his home. This was the one great sorrow of his life. He was never the same man again, and, while everything was clone by his children in the remaining 19 years of his life that could be done to make him com­ fortable and happy, his heart was broken and he never again entered into life with the same zest.

In July 1878 he married Mrs. Susan Lease, who died in August 1882 and on November 7, 1884, was married to Mrs. Lida E. Pier­ sol who survives him. He was laid to rest in the cemete-ry of the Blooming Grove Methodist Episcopal Church where he had been a member for 37 years at the time of his death.

His children are: Clara V. Sharples, wife of Russel L. Sharples residing on their own farm near Tunnel Hill, Ohio; William Thomas Tredway, an attorney-at-law, practicing in Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pa.; Joseph F. Tredway, a merchant and Postmaster at Tunnel Hill, Ohio; Sadie Olive Elder, wife of Cyrus E. Elder, re­ siding on their own farm at \i\Tarsaw, Coshocton County, Ohio; Garret Emmet Tredway, principal of the Eighth Ward School, Al­ legheny City, Pa., and Miss Cora Iva Tredway, a teacher in the pub­ lic schools at Coraopolis, Allegheny County, Pa., living with her brother William T. Tredway.

On August 9, 1893, his birthday, his children presented him an II8 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY elegant gold watch which was at his death to go to his oldest son liv­ ing and always to be held in the possession of the oldest living son, after which it was to go to his oldest daughter, if living, and to go to and remain in the possession of his oldest living daughter till all his daughters were dead, and on the death of all his child­ ren was to go to and remain at all times in the possession of his oldest grandson by name of Tredway and to go to and remain from time to time in the possession of the eldest male lineal descendant of the name Tredway and if ever the lineal descendants of name Tred­ way became extinct, then to go to the eldest male lineal descendant of whatever name, and after their extinction to the eldest female lin­ eal descendant of whatever name, the name Tredway either in male or female descendants to take first and always have preference in possession of the heirloom.

The funeral services were held in the Blooming Grove Metho­ dist Episcopal Church. Rev. Gay, of the West Bedford M. E. Church, a friend of the family, delivering the funeral sermon Thurs­ day, September 12, 1895. The pall-bearers: William Dean, Daniel McCurdy, John Reed, John G. Elder, \Villiam Farquhar and Wil­ liam Elder, were all old friends and neighbors, and all well stricken in years. While his funeral was remarked as one of the largest ever witnessed in the community, the line of carriages being fully one mile and a half in length, besides as many more that had gone direct to the church, it was well ordered and regulated and carried out with the simplicity that characterized his life, and while the de-. ceased had hardly expected death so soon and had given no direc­ tions, it is doubtful whether if he had ordered all the arrangements and details of his funeral he would have changed them in the slight­ est.

With the exception of Mahala Greer a sister, who was sick and unable to attend the funeral, there was not a relative, brother, sis­ ter, cousin, niece, nephew, son or daughter who was not present at his funeral.

His life was marked for kindness to the poor. generosity, hos­ pitality, magnanimity, slow to anger and swift to forgive an injury. Of the long line of tenants that live on his farm all attest his readi­ ness to help in time of need. He loved his farm and his stock were always comfortably housed and fed before he retired to the com­ forts of his home. He was a lover of good horses and always kept as good as went the country roads. \VILLIA:Yi: TlIOMAS TREDWAY

vV1LLIAM THOMAS TREDWAY, the Editor and publisher of the Tredway Genealogy, was born in Bedford Township, Coshocton County, Ohio, February 12, 1862, the son of Crispen and Malvina James Tredway. His father was a successful farmer. His paternal ancestor came from the County of Rutland, England. His earliest known ancestor was Henry Tredway, of Queen Elizabeth's time. He is the twelfth generation starting with Henry as the first genera­ tion. The elates and family connections are well given in the first and eighth chapters of this genealogy and need not be repeated here, except to give the names of his progenitors in the order of their generations as follows:

Henry Tredway ...... First Generation Robert Tredway ...... Second Generation John Tredway ...... Third Generation Robert Tredway ...... Fourth Generation John Tredway ...... Fifth Generation Crispen Tredway ...... Sixth Generation Thomas Tredway ...... Seventh Generation Daniel Tredway ...... Eighth Generation Crispen Tredway ...... Ninth Generation Thomas Tredway ...... Tenth Generation Crispen Tredway ...... Eleventh Generation William Thomas Tredway ...... Twelfth Generation

Of these ancestors, John Tredway, of the fifth generation, born in 1634, left England with his son Crispen, in 1700, for America, but died on the voyage and was buried at sea. His son Crispen, the sixth generation, settled in the province of Maryland in the year 1700, and this Crispen had a son Thomas being the seventh gen­ eration, who had a son Daniel, of the eighth generation, who had a son Crispen, of the ninth generation, who married Elizabeth Peteet, born in Maryland, from where he migrated west in 1817, and set­ tled in Jackson Township, Coshocton County, Ohio, where he is buried on the farm on which he originally settled in that State.

Thomas Tredway, tenth generation, the son of Crispen and Elizabeth Peteet Tredway, with their children accompanied his father in the two weeks' migration from Baltimore, Maryland, to Coshocton County, Ohio.

Crispen Tredway, eleventh generation, the father of the writer, was the son of 'Thomas and Olive Severns Tredway. This Crispen Tredway married Melvina James, of Jackson Township, Coshocton County, Ohio, and purchased a farm of 265 acres at the head of Simmon's Run, about six miles south of Warsaw, and about seven­ teen miles west of Coshocton, Ohio, where the subject of this sketch was born, February 12, 1862, in a log house which still stands on the HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 121

old farm as a tenement house. In 1874-5 his father, Crispen Tred­ way, began the construction of a new home, about two city squares distant from the original log home, which when completed was one of the best farm dwelling houses in Coshocton County, at that time, and still stands and is a fine dwelling even at this day, May 1930.

The boyhood of the writer, WILLIAM T. TREDWAY, was gener­ ally the typical life of the ordinary boy on a farm in those early days, except that he had an especially good mother who was am­ bitious to have him secure a college education, and instilled that thought in his mind from his earliest recollection. His Uncle Elias \,Villiam James, who had been a captain in the Civil War, and who had after the war settled and continued to practice law at Coshocton, the county seat of Coshocton County, was a graduate of Allegheny College at Meadville, and he poured into young Tredway's mind the inspiration which turned his attention towards the study of law, and gave him much valuable information as to what studies to pur­ sue, where to locate and make connections after he was through college. With this inspiration the subject of this sketch, from the time he was six years of age, walked two miles across the country to Donley School, where he constantly came into touch with the children of the best people in that section of Ohio, many of whom were also pressing forward with the thought of college training in the future. As a result of this association and common ambition, many of the best teachers and educators in that part of Ohio were employed in the Donley School and a splendid foundation laid for subsequent college clays, including a good start in algebra and latin. At the age of eighteen-years, Mr. Tredway had passed the examina­ tion before the Board of Education, and sought and obtained a per­ mit to teach which he did one term in a country school known as Brush College, near Tunnel Hill, Coshocton County, Ohio. He had worked for his uncle Resin Tredway in harvest time, after the work in his father's farm was finished, raking up the wheat into sheaves to be followed by a binder, all following the cradle that laid down the golden grain, at the munificent salary of fifty cents a clay. With this fifty cents per day accumulation he purchased the first (silver) watch he ever owned, and which he used in teaching his first term of school. He had two brothers and three sisters. His mother having died when he was fourteen years of age, there was little hope of any help toward a college education coming from the home, even that of a thrifty farmer on a farm of 265 acres. With the money earned in the one term of the country school, he entered Jefferson Academy, at Canonsburg, in 1881, under the trained principalship of Professor Ewing, and so improved his time that in September 1883, he was enabled to enter the Sophomore Class of Washington and Jefferson College, from which in 1886 he was graduated, having pursued a classical course. During his en­ tire preparatory course at Canonsburg, and his college course at Washington and Jefferson, he added to the sum which his one term of public school teaching had given him by acting as agent for the Pennsylvania Publishing Company, and visited in his vacation all 122 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY .i:<'AMILY the small towns and villages in and about Pittsburgh, visited Cleve­ land, Ohio, Philadelphia and Atlantic City, selling a very valuable product and one which aclclecl greatly to human happiness, the pro­ duct being known as the "Successful Housekeeper," an up-to-elate cook-book. The last two years in college he had a general agency with power to appoint sub-agents, and went with many other stud­ dents to Philadelphia and Atlantic City, where great success attend­ ed the efforts of the college boy. In this way his entire college ex­ penses were defrayed. While in college he was elected business manager of the Washington-Jeffersonian, the college publication, and in conjunction with other classmates established a yearly period­ ical known as the "Pandora," and raised the necessary cash to pub­ lish the first one. This annual has continued and been published yearly ever since for forty-five years. During his college days h~ was elected President of his class and President of the Philo Liter­ ary Society, both at Canonsburg and at Washington. He was elected class poet of his class and had an hor~orary oration at the Com­ mencement exercises, June 24, 1886, the elate of his graduaton from college. While manager of the Washington-Jeffersonian, he was able to finance the paper and cleared it of debt for the first time in a quarter of a century. His class poem was published in Volume 3, of the Pandora, by the class of 1888. The subject of his honorary oration was "Statesmanship, a Profession." It was subsequently published by some of the leading periodicals of the clay.

On leaving college he became a law student with the firm of Wier & Garrison, in the old Kuhn Law Building, which was then known as No. 96 Diamond street, and was admitted to the Bar ,of Allegheny County, at Pittsburgh, Pa., on the 22nd clay of December, 1888. He remained with that firm of lawyers until 1892 when he became associated with Stone & Potter, and remained with that firm until the partnership was dissolved, William A. Stone becoming Governor of Pennsylvania, and W. P. Potter being app,ointecl to a seat in the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, by his former partner, Governor Stone. During his association with the firm of Stone and Potter, he became interested with Mr. Potter in the organization of a number of banks and trust companies, taking stock in each new or­ ganization as he was able. During this time he also prepared and published in 1904, a work entitled "The Law of Banks and Trust Companies in Pennsylvania," which had quite a large sale to all the leading banks and law libraries in the United States.

On March 14, 1894, he married Cora Alice Watson, of Cora­ opolis, Pennsylvania, whose children are Jean Watson Tredway, born June 19, 1898, and "\Villiam T·homas Tredway, Jr., born July 5, 1902. After his marriage he began in the spring of 1895 the con­ struction of a new brick residence at 1034 State avenue, Coraopolis, where he and his family still reside.

In 1889, he organized the Coraopolis Building and Loan Assoc­ iation, which was used by many then living in Cora;'opolis, as a HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 123 means of acquiring a new home. In 1891, he was elected solicitor for the Borough of Coraopolis, and was continued as its general counsel for a period of eleven years. In 1892 he organized the Pit~sburgh, Neville Island and Coraopolis Street Railway Company, which he represented until it was completed and merged into the West Encl Street Railway Company. He also organized the Cora­ opolis Natio!1al Bank in 1897, and the Ohio Valley Trust Company, of Coraopolis, Pa., February 4, 1901. Also the Valley Trust Com­ pany of East Encl, Pittsburgh, now the East End Savings & Trust Company, all of which institutions he has since their organization represented as general counsel, except the East Encl Savings & Trust Company of Pittsburgh, which was lost through a merger.

He is a stockholder and director of the Potter Title & Trust Company, Potter Title & Mortgage Guarantee Company, the Cora­ opolis National Bank, and the Ohio Valley Trust Company. He is a member of the C::oraopolis Chamber of Commerce, and the Young Men's Christian Association, at Coraopolis, Pa.

While at college he was a member of the Phi Delta Theta fra­ ternity and was one of the charter members of the Pennsylvania Alpha Alumni Chapter of that fraternity organized at Pittsburgh in 1887, and in 1902 represented that body at the biennial convention in New York City. At the biennial convention of that fraternity at Washington, D. C., in 1906, he was elected an Alumni Commission­ er, one of the national officers of the fraternity, and in 1908 at Pitts­ burgh was re-elected to the same position. He is a charter member and the first secretary of the Pittsburgh Circle No. 48, of the Pro­ tected Home Circle, and a member of the Odd Fellows, Knights of the Macabees, Royal Arcanium, Vv ooclmen of the World, Knights of Malta, Benevolent and Protective Order 'Of Elks, Eagles and Moose, Blue Lodge Council, Chapter and Commandery of the Ma­ sonic fraternity, and also of the Grotto and Shrine, the play-grounds of Masonry. He was for many years a member of the Americus Republican Club and one of its directors. In one presidential cam­ paign ( r9o8) was secretary of its campaign committee, and on its banquet committees in the.years of its activities wlien it entertained nearly every president of the United States at its annual Grant day dinner. He was a member and director for many years and for many years president of the Young Men's Republican Tar­ iff Club of Pittsburgh. Is a member of the Coraopolis Motor Club, the Halcyon Club, and Elks Club, the last three of Coraopolis, Pa.

Mr. Tredway is a Republican by birth, conviction and practice, and has taken an active part in every political campaign, County, State and National, for the last 30 years. Was for more than 30 years a member of the Republican County €::ommittee from Cora­ opolis, many times a delegate to the State conventions at Harris­ burg and made many political addresses throughout the county and State during Presidential campaigns. In 1906-7 he was elected and held the office of Vice Chairman of the Republican County Com- 124 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY mittee of Allegheny County. In 1905 he began an agitation for the reapportionment of Pennsylvania into senatorial and legislative dis­ tricts in accordance with the Constitution of Pennsylvania, and was successful in forcing the legislature of that State to pass the neces­ sary reapportionment acts at a special session in 1906. Always tak­ ing an active interest in the public schools, he was elected and served as a director in the Coraopolis Public Schools for some years dur­ ing which time he was also elected and held for two terms the office of President of the Allegheny County School Directors Association, during which time he was selected to deliver an address before the State School Directors Association at Harrisburg.

During the W,orld War, he was a Four Minute Man, assigned to a speaking program in practically every theatre in the City of Pittsburgh, week in and week out. Was a member of the Council of National Defense and Liberty Loan Speakers Committee. Was one of the speakers selected to speak from the T;rophy Train which took in 24 cities in Northwestern Pennsylvania and Northeastern Ohio, during the third Liberty Loan drive when millions on millions of bonds were sold, and after the Armistice was signed on Novem­ ber 11, 1918, he was selected by the President of the United States to represent the Department of Labor in urging public and private enterprise to employ the returning soldiers.

In the forty-two years he has practiced law, he has been en­ gaged in many notable cases, too numerous to mention here, with a fair degree of success.

The home which Mr. Tredway now occupies is built upon land which belonged to the maternal grandfather of Mrs. Tredway. Mr. Tredway has always enjoyed rugged good health, being a believer in regular hours and plenty of outdoor athletic exercise, particularly tennis, which he still indulges in occasionally. He has always tried to have a vacation with his family in the summer, many years at Chautauqua Assembly Grounds in New York, some years on Lake Erie, many years at Atlantic City, and while having traveled on business and pleasure very extensively in the United States, his greatest trip and delight of all was the Mediterranean cruise which he began February 2, 1926, returning April 15th, during which time he took in ten different countries and twenty different cities, in and around the ports of the Mediterranean Sea, including the Holy Land Cairo, Egypt, Naples, Rome, Cadiz, Seville, Athens, Gibralter, Monte Carlo and London, covering 14,000 miles at sea, and riding through two of the worst storms known to navigation. CHAPTER XIII

Address deli11ered on the Eleventh Anniversary of the Armistice, by \VrLLIAM T. TREDWAY, Before the Service Star Legion, at TVebster Hall, Pittsburgh, Pa., November II, 1929. (PUBLISHED HERE AS REQUESTED)

Mr. Toastmaster, Ladies of the Service Star Legion, Delegates, Ladies and Gentlemen:

It gives me pleasure this evening to say a few words in be­ half of the boys who went to the front and bore the brunt m winning the World's Greatest War. Their names have been engraved upon local tablets in every village and city and cross roads of o_ur great country, that we may not forget what they have sacrificed and done for us.

We are now celebrating the Eleventh Anniversary of the Annis­ tice, signed on the eleventh clay of the eleventh month in the year 1918, and the boys who made the Armistice a possibility are either laid away in their last long sleep, or are still among us in the hospit­ als, which we have provided for their care and comfort, or in useful occupations and employments, which we have so solicitously pro­ vided for them. May we never forget what we owe our soldier boys.

In our service flag are many stars, only one in gold. It rep­ resents the one, who in the tender language of the soldier, as his companion falls beside him says "gone West," and as these boys return and see this permanent evidence that the hearts of the com­ munity followed them while they were away, and they will show that we put into action the words of that beautiful song that has helped to win the war as much as any other among the pe,ople of our land "Keep the Home Fires Burning."

Russia is entitled to great credit for the part she played on the Eastern Front, when the waves of German soldiery were dashing on towards Paris.

Italy must not be forgotten for openmg the gateway into Germany through Austria.

The Canadians and Australians, all volunteers, gallant and tireless, showed the world they played their part well.

Belgium, whose king could not be bought, and whose little army thwarted the progress of the German Army till France could mobilize her troops deserves the love and gratitude of all man­ kind for the part she played. 126 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

France, whose country was overrun, whose women and children were maltreated, whose cities were devastated, sat like a wall of adamant through the whole term of the War.

The British Empire, with her great navy, without which the War could not have been won, and her valiant troops on land, which fought side by side with the French and the other Allies on every front, must never be forgotten; but it was left to America, who largely financed the War and furnished most of the food and munitions necessary to win the war, who with her Marines that first checked the Germans at Chateau Thierry, and the Rain­ bow and Regular Army divisions thrown in at the suggestion of General Pershing that finally turned the tide of the swaying forces in War.

Well may we erect tablets to our boys from the different communities of our country, and thus we cast a ray of sunshine across the pathway of the soldier, and across the pathway of gen­ erations yet unborn, for

"Diel you ever think as the hearse goes by? That it won't be long till you and I Go marching out in that big plumed hack, And never remember coming back?

Diel you ever think as you toil for gold, That a dead man's hand a dollar can't hold, You may work and toil, and struggle and save, And lose it all, when you come to the grave?"

When the history of this War is finally written, it cannot be said that the American people feel and clothed their troops until the Armistice was signed, and then abandoned and forgot them in the far off fields of Siberia, Italy, Germany, and France, so that if vVar ever comes again and our boys are compelled to shoul­ der arms and go to the front, they will know that where'er they go, the great throbbing heart of the American people follow them, and as the boys came home, and great celebrations in honor of their homecoming were held, the golden star was seen and the special marked name on this tablet read. The one who died in the service will not be forgotten, and of him who made the su­ preme sacrifice it may be said in the final verse of the Battle Hymn of the Republic, "As Christ died to make men holy, so he died to make men free," and if as the poet says: "The dead have all the glory of the World" how great must be the glory of one who died in the defense of his country-in a War which had for its purpose the subjection of all mankind to the tyranny of a monarch, and which if successful would have crushed the sun­ shine out of the human countenance. HISTORY OF TI-IE TREDWAY FAMILY

That war, so great in dollars and cents, in loss of life, the disastrous consequences which followed it, and the man-killing and death dealing devices and methods used, exceeded by far the aggregate of all the wars on the face of the earth for a hundred years preceding, or during the entire Nineteenth century.

Let us take a glance, the cost of the last World's War. Do you know that it cost our own country more than $1,000,000.00 an hour for the last two years of the World '\i\1 ar? Do you know that during the last year of the war, 1918, the expenditures of all the warring nations combined was in excess of $ro,ooo,ooo.oo per hour, according to authoritative figures, gathered and collated on that subject? From the best information obtainable, the total death roll for all the belligerent countries engaged in the War was ten million. 'These ten million soldiers scattered and buried over the far flung battle front of the '\i\Torld War, lie as a dead loss. France alone lost a million, seven hundred fifty thousand men killed in action, dead of wounds or missing in action. Of their young soldiers between nineteen and thirty-one years of age, about sixty per cent died in the war, and it is estimated that in France alone it will require sixty years to replace the race deterioration clue to the great World War; and as said, the combined loss of life resulting from all the wars of the Nineteenth Century, be ginning with the Napoleonic and ending with the Balkan War, was less than five millions of men, as compared with ten million m this four years World vVar.

In addition to the ten millions who died on the battle field, more than six million were seriously wounded, more than fifteen million other wounded, and about six million in prisons or m1ssmg, making the total deaths and casualties due to the War between thirty-five and forty millions of men, or equal to one­ third of the whole population of the United States.

Our own country has more wealth than the next four lead­ ing nations of the world, and yet the direct cost of the War is just about equal to the entire wealth of every kind, public and private, of the Commonwealth of the United States of America, landed, bonded, gold, silver and all, or a figure of two hundred and ten billions of dollars. This is just the direct cost. This cost does not take into consideration the destruction of property, the depreciation of capital, the loss of production, the slump of trade and similar items. It has been conservatively estimated that this in turn would amount to as much as the dir.ect cost.

The direct and indirect cost of the War has been conserva­ tively estimated at three hundred seventy billions of dollars, en­ tailed upon the countries engaged in the War, and this does not include the expenditures and losses of neutral nations, nor the loss of human life, and subsequent burdens such as pensions, al­ lowances, or actual loss in the production powers of the twenty 128 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

million men actually in the field during the whole period of the war, estimated at an average annual production capacity of $500.00 for each man, this would amount to forty-five billions of dollars. Then there is a total of a billion dollars contributed for war relief during the war by the different countries. A noted statistician has summarized the indirect losses of the war as fol1ows :-

Property losses on land about ...... 30 Billions Ship and Cargo...... 7 Billions Loss of Production ...... 45 Billions War Relief ...... I Billion Loss to Neutrals...... 2 Billions making the indirect losses, based on this estimate, of upwards of eighty-five billions of dollars, so that the direct and indirect cost of this great War in the back wash of which we still live, cost the world in direct expenditures and indirect losses of cash or its equivalent more than all the wealth of our whole country, the wealth of all the forty-eight States of the Union, the combined wealth of all the cities and boroughs in our great country, more than the combined wealth of all I have mentioned, with the wealth of all the public and private institutions, the magnificent private and public schools and office buildings throughout our great country. And think if you can of all these destroyed, burned to the ground or wiped off the face of the earth in a four year per­ iod, then you may be able to comprehend something of the back­ ground in the picture of our soldier boys in action.

And now in addition to this, take the millions of men under arms, the dead and the crippled engaged in the war, the sorrow, the famine, the starving and want that followed in its wake, paint and place this on the background of this picture, and then you will better understand what we owe our soldiers who quench­ ed this conflagration.

If the dead who died in the War could be resurrected and marched by in soldierly order, twenty abreast on the street in front of this building, it would take them more than six months of twenty-four hours a day marching to pass by.

The pecuniary losses of war, both direct and indirect, is only a small item as compared with the suffering, penury, sorrow and famine that stalk in its wake. When we consider that eighty-six hundred homes, each worth $5,000.00, could be built with the funds used in the construction of one battleship, or all the homes in a city the size of Wheeling, vV. Va., Macon, Ga., or Lexing­ ton, Ky., or that the funds for one battleship would found and en­ dow four collegiate institutions the size of Princeton College, when we consider that it actually costs every family of five peo­ ple an average of $roo.oo per family annually to maintain our HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 129 army and navy, all these things we consider as naught when it comes to the honor or defense of our country; but when we con­ sider the loss of life entailed by war, and all the penury, misery, suffering and sorrow that follow in its wake, the disorganization of business, and the unhappiness of all people involved, is it not strange that all down through the ages men of mind or leaders of thought have not found a way whereby to reduce the chances of war by a proportionate reduction of the armament and military forces of the different countries. ·

What was accomplished at Washington in the reduction of Armament, what has been accomplished in the exchange of views and a quadrilateral agreement between England, France, Japan and the United States, what has been accomplished in averting for at least the time being a war which would dwarf into insignifi­ cance the last great vVorld War, because it threatened a war between a thousand million of the colored race as against five hundred millions of the white race, rising out of disputes in re­ gard to the Pacific Ocean.

If Peace Conferences shall have clone nothing more than to advert this great cataclysm of the human race, it wi!l have done more in the advancement of civilization than anv conference ever held among thinking people of the different nations of the world, from the beginning of the world to the present time.

And yet civilization and enlightenment have always followed war. The perfection of surgery, wireless telegraphy, telephoto­ graphy, radio and argosies of the air are only a few of the out­ standing accomplishments perfected. or arising out of the World War.

I can remember as a small bov, when the Civil War was ended, of hearing my mother sing: ·

"Many are the hearts that are beating tonight, Waiting for the war to cease."

And I wonder, tonight; how many of the hearts in this audience, and in all the audiences made up during the World War, and wars of the years gone by, have been touched by the words of the sol­ dier boy, dying on a foreign battle field when he said:

"Just break the news to mother, And say there is no other Can take the place of mother, And kiss her dear sweet face for me, For I'm not coming home."

\i\Te were forced into the War. The Kaiser told us to paint our ships Red, White and Blue and travel the course which he 130 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY should map out. He, like Napoleon, was drunk with power and had to be banished from his own country. He was like a mad clog turned loose on the street, had to be subdued. He was like a drunk man in a street car, who would terrify innocent wo­ men and children, but there is always some sturdy, big-hearted man in the car that is willing to take him by the nape of the neck and set him off the car, and in this picture Uncle Sam is the sturdy, big-hearted man and the drunk man is the Kaiser.

Now that this war is over, there will be no aristocracy of the one who sold Liberty Bonds, there will be no aristocracy of those who did Red Cross work; there will be no aristocracy of those who raised the Y. M. C. A. fond; there will be no aristocracy of th'ose who even went to the front and fought the battles, but a great Democracy, better than Aristocracy, has the honor and is made up of all those who did not their bit, but their best.

I know this audience shares with me the thought when I say, in the peril of our country all that I have, all that I am and all that I hope to be, I lay upon its altar.

We had to win this war; to go over and not under. We were in the position our forefathers were, when they come to sign the Declaration of Independence.

Thomas Jefferson said: "We have got to hang together or hang separately."

Every man had his part, and every man, woman and child had a part together.

As Kipling said: "It's not the guns and armament, nor the army as a whole, but the firm co-operation of every bloomin' soul" that's going to win this war.

Some one has said: "Let me write the songs of a nation, and let who will make its laws." Improving on this thought some bright soldier boy in the training camp wrote a parody on the "Long Long Trail," one of the most beautiful songs that has come out in a quarter of a century. The words of the parody run:

"There's a long, long trail a winding Into No-Man's Land in France, Where the shrapnel shells are bursting, But we must advance. There'll be lots of drills and hiking, Until our dreams all come true, But we're going to show the Kaiser How the Yankee boys come through."

And that is what we did with the Kaiser. HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 131

He figured to throw his Empire from Berlin to Bagdad, overrun Italy, France, England and Russia, and thus dominating all Europe, array Mexico and Japan against the United States, bombard our eastern cities, take away our Southern states, and then settle down to levy an indemnity against this country suffic­ ient to pay the entire expense of the European campaign in this war. When the boys were volunteering and marching away not knowing when or how they would return, we did all within our power to urge and cheer them on, and many a throat has been hoarse in joining in the chorus of "Keep the Home Fires Burn­ ing," and so let us keep them burning until the last living Ameri­ can soldier now returned has been given profitable employment. In keeping with this spirit and the thought of the hour, I shall close this my address by a little' poem entitled "Afterwards": "It was Ho! for the set of the khaki; Hurrah! for the marching feet; Three cheers again, as the fighting men Went tramping down the street. Oh, we thrilled as we stood and watched them, And now they are coming home, The soldier, out of the trenches, The sailor over the foam. It was Ho! for the glint of a rifle, And Hey! for the soldier's pack, With smiles and tears and a burst of cheers­ And now they are coming back ! They have been where the phantoms gather, Where death and his cohorts lurk; 'They're coming back from the trenches- N ow who will give them work?

Who will cancel his debt to a soldier? (You have not forgotten that We cheered and sang till the echoes rang, At sight of a campaign hat?) They have battled and bled and suffered; Now give them a helping hand- They're coming back from the shadows And smoke of No Man's Land.

It was Ho! for the boys when they left us; (They fought through the mud and sleet). A tear filled eye as the flag went by; (They marched on weary feet) We are proud of their shining record, For they didn't lag or shirk; They're coming back to the home folks­ Now who will give them work?" 132 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

So let us help every soldier who helped to win the war. 'vVe shall all be proud to have lived in this age. "It is an age of ages telling, to be living is sublime."

For the greatest help and best aim any man can have 1s to live to do the utmost for his fellow man.

We went into this war to win. Germany might have over­ run Italy (I don't believe she could); she might make peace with Russia; she might have fought Europe and France to a standstill on the Western front, but not while the blood of our ancestors flows in our veins will the life, liberty and right to the pursuit of happiness, bought by their blood, be surrendered by the Ameri­ can people at the dictation of the German Emperor, .or the ruler of any country on the face of the earth. CHAPTER XIV

vV onien of distinction and lustre who acquired the TREDWAY name by marriage. The home in the White House is such a dis­ tinction, and to be a playmate and lifelong friend of Queen Victoria, are such honors as to entitle the recipient to a niche in this genealogy

SusAN BoYLESTON TREDWAY, at the age of 87, died in January, 1884, at the home of her granddaughter, Mrs. D. C. Woods, then of 233 Maryland Avenue, Baltimore, Md. She was the widow of Wil­ liam Tredway, of New York City. The story of her life as given by herself and published in the Baltimore papers after her death will be read with interest by every Tredway under whose eye this chap­ ter falls.

Baltimore, Tuesday, January 22, 1884.

DEATH OF MRS. TREADWAY

The Times of President John Adams as Recalled by His­ Granddaughter

(Reported for the Baltimore Sun)

Mrs. Susan Boylston Treadway, aged 87, died yesterday morn­ ing at one o'clock, at her residence No. 233 Maryland Avenue, of senile gangrene. A week ago she was compelled to take to her bed. Prof. Samuel C. Chew attended her. She was much under the in­ fluence of anodynes. When not under their effect, her mind was re­ markably clear. She retained full possession of her faculties -until she breathed her last.

This venerable lady was a granddaughter of John Adams and a niece of John Quincy Adams. Mrs. Treadway was twice an in­ mate of the White House, the first time at the early age of four years, and her recollections of events and distinguished people ex­ tended over a period of eighty years. These recollections are most interesting, and Mrs. 'Treadway used to tell them with remarkable minuteness of detail and vivacity of style. After a very varied early life, Mrs. Treadway lived for many years in Richmond, Va., with her only child, who married the late A. Judson Crane, a prominent lawyer of that place. Since 1866 she resided in Baltimore with .her granddaughter, Mrs. D. C. Woods, No. 233 Maryland Avenue.

Mrs. Treadway was born August 8, 1796, in New York, on Beaver Street, then a fashionable part of the city. Her father was Charles Adams, the second son of John Adams, John Quincy being the first and Thomas the third son. Charles Adams, a promising young lawyer, died December 1800. His daughter, Susan Boyl- 134 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY ston, named after her grandmother, was adopted by her grandpar­ ents. They stopped at New York on their way to vVashington, where John Adams was going to finish the last year of his term, and took their adopted daughter to vVashington with them. Her very earliest recollections were of the old White House at Washington, which stood on the same site and was built in the same style as the present White House. The old one was burned clown in 1812. She remained at the White House until Mr. Adams completed his term, and then went back with his family to the old homestead at Quincy, Massachusetts. When her uncle John Quincy Adams was Secre­ tary of State for eight years to President Monroe his niece was fre­ quently at his house. Immediately after this he was made President and Mrs. Treadway again became an inmate at the White House at intervals. At this period among the foremost figures in vVash­ ington society was Henry Clay, John C. Calhoun, Richard Rush, Admiral Porter and Daniel Webster. Life at the Capital was gay then, but not given up to dress and fashion as at present. The age was more quiet, though by no means sombre. The English minister Canning gave his grand farewell ball at this time, which was a not­ able event. The W ednesclay evening receptions of Mrs. Monroe, given during the term of her husband's service, were described by Mrs. Treadway as very formal. All the officials, foreign and do­ mestic, went to them, and the rooms were crowded. Mrs. Monroe never sat clown, and no one sat clown in her presence. If visitors wanted a seat, they went off, after paying their respects, to some other room. Mrs. Monroe is described as a large, portly and hand­ some woman. She received very gracefully. The formality was such that Mrs. Treadway and others were in the habit of going off to spend the later part of the evening with Mrs. Calhoun. Mrs. Treadway knew Mrs. Madison when she lived at her own house, but it was current in Washington that Mrs. Madison's receptions at the V/hite House were very enjoyable affairs. Mrs. Madison al­ ways wore a turban and was always graceful and charming. The re­ ceptions were informal and everybody went to them. Tables were spread with beautiful fruit. The receptions lasted from 7 to I I P. M. Mrs. Treadway remembered Edward Everett as a handsome young Unitarian minister and heard him when he was hardly 21 years of age preach his first sermon in Brattle Street Church, Bos­ ton. He wore a large diamond ring on his little finger, and preached that "the fashion of this world passes away." He lived at Dorches­ ter, near Quincy. Mrs. Treadway frequently met him socially.

Mrs. Treaclway's first husband was Lieut. Chas. Clark, United States navy, whom she married in 1817. He was on the 74-gun ship Franklin, Commodore Stewart, which took United States Minister Rush to England. 'The vessel sailed from Annapolis. Her hus­ band, Capt. Clark, died April 14, 1819. Capt. Clark had come from sea in bad health, and they were living at Georgetown, D. C. She went back to Quincy to live. Later she married Mr. Wm. Tread­ way, of New York. After his death her only child, Miss Clark married Mr. Crane, and Mrs. Treadway went to Richmond to live HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 135 with them, where she resided for 27 years. Mr. Crane was a son of Mr. Wm. Crane of this city, a rich leather merchant. During her sojourn to Richmond Mrs. Treadway frequently visited Washing­ ton, staying there on one occasion· as long as two years.

One of the most striking incidents which Mrs. Treadway re­ lated was her passage of the Susquehanna River in the winter of 1818. She was en route from Boston to Washington with her hus­ band, Capt. Clark. On arriving at the river it was found to be cov­ ered with ice. In order to cross to Havre de Grace the landlord of the hotel suggested that she should be strapped to one of her large trunks and thus hauled over the ice to the opposite shore. Holding her baby in her arms, she was made fast to the trunk and started on the trip. After considerable progress had been made it was found there was an opening in the ice in front, and that a detour would have to be made. The ice had commenced breaking up and the group had to be shifted from cake to cake of ice. Finally the op­ posite shore was made in safety, but the baby's hands and feet were frosted. Vice President Tompkins's horses and carriage, that were .on the ice at the same time, were lost, though no one perished.

Mrs. Treadway had a ring given to her by her grandfather, President John Adams, as a reward for industry. He was one of a -commission to arrange matters between Holland and the United States, and wanted a paper of 30 pages copied. Mrs. Treadway made the copy for him. A few days later he brought her the ring, saying: "Th.is is a reward for your industry; it contains my hair and that of your grandmother." The ring has on its face twelve large pearls, and is attractive also for its workmanship. Mrs. Treadway had one of the pearl pins that Mrs. John Adams wore when she was presented at court to George III. She was the first American lady that was ever presented as an American minister's wife. The pin is about r ¼ inches in diameter, and consists of five leaves made of pearls. The large pearls are in the center of each leaf. Other arti­ des of historic and family interest were possessed by Mrs. Tread­ way, among them black silk and satin fabrics and silverware. The silver is marked "J. A. to S. B. C.," is very fine and heavy, and bears the Adams coat-of-arms.

In Mrs. Treadway's room hung a picture of her grandmothe;-, Mrs. Abigail Adams, taken when she was 74 years of age. It is a copy after Steuart. Mrs. Treadway was present in Boston when this picture was being taken and frequently visited the studio. She described her grandmother as a beautiful woman. The picture pre­ sents the appearance of a woman much younger than 74 years. Mrs. Adams died on October 28, 1818.

Mrs. T'readway's grandmother on her mother's side, was Mrs. Margaret Smith, of England, wh0 had a beautiful place at "Throgg's Neck" New York. When the Revolutionary War broke out William Smith, Mrs. Treadway's uncle, joined the army, and was aide-de- HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY camp to Washington during the whole war. In consequence of this the enemy destroyed the place of Mrs. Smith. William Smith rose to be colonel. He was over six feet high, and Mrs. Treadway used to say a much finer looking man than Washington, and personated Washington when an equestrian statue of Washington was made.

Equally interesting is the brief account of Mary Tredway, friend of Queen Victoria who died at the age of 94 at her home in Chester, N. J. Of her the press at the time of her death said:

FRIEND OF QUEEN VICTORIA DEAD

Mrs. Tredway, of Chester, N . .T., TVas Daiighter of a Court Physician

MORRISTOWN, January 27-Mrs. Mary Tredway, friend and companion to Queen Victoria, is dead in her home in Chester. Mrs. Tredway was 94 years old. Her maiden name was Mary Wil­ liamson and her father was physician to the family of George IV, and to Queen Victoria after her accession to the throne.

\Vhen Mrs. Tredway was a little girl she often went to the royal palace with her father, and there became well acquainted with the young gjrl who was afterward nominal ruler of the British Em­ pire. Her father was wealthy and had great plans for her future. She, however, fell in love with the son of a poor Baptist clergyman. They were married and decided to come to America, but Mrs. Tred­ way's father opposed that plan. However they were not to be de­ terred, and arrived in America about seventy years ago. She had no participation in the division of the family estate and soon broke off all connections with her kin in England. On leaving England Mrs. Tredway was bidden an affectionate farewell by Queen Victoria,. who gave her a silk dress which the old woman prized highly and kept in all its pristine beauty until the day of her death.

She was active for her age, and retained all her faculties to a remarkable degree. Her death was due to an accident. A week ago her dress caught fire and before it could be extinguished she was badly burned. She is survived by six children, a large number of grandchildren and great grandchildren. One of her grandsons is. Lloyd B. Tredway, a prominent young attorney in this city. CHAPTER XV

History of FRANCIS WILCOX TREADWAY, former Lieutenant Gov­ ernor of Ohio, and LYMAN H. TREADWAY, Vice Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Clei1eland, Ohio.

These two subjects trace their ancestry back to NATHANIEL 'TREDWAY, as the main stock of this branch of the family as its his­ tory is given in Chapter II, page 33, of this genealogy, where it will be seen that Nathaniel Tredway came from England, landing at Massachusetts Bay in 1628. He married Sufferana Howe about 1638; his son Josiah Treadway married Sarah Sweetman January 9, 1673. Of this union there were born Josiah Tread­ way, Jr., in 1707, who married Eunice Foote May 13, 1735, of whose children Amos Treadway, born February 19, 1738, married June 16, r76o, Elizabeth Blake. From this union Elijah Tread­ way, born in 1771, died in 1820, married Hannah Tibbles, as a re­ sult of which marriage there were born Russell Treadway in 1805, died in 1840, the grandfather of Francis Wilcox Treadway and Lyman H. Treadway. This ~ussell Treadway married Mary Wil­ cox, born in 1808, died in 1885, the daughter of Francis Wilcox, born in 1787, died in 1861, the son of Justus Wilcox, born 1750, died in 1806.

From the foregoing lineage, it will be seen where Francis Wilcox Treadway obtained his first and second name. As a re­ sult of the marriage of Russell Treadway with Mary Wilcox, there were born Augustine Russell Treadway, in 1836. He was the father of Lyman H. Treadway and Francis V./. Treadway, the subjects of the foregoing sketch.

The history of these two distinguished Treadways who at­ tained such great prominence in legal and banking and political circles respectively cannot better be given than by the newspaper accounts published at the time of their death.

LYMAN 'TREADWAY, BANK OFFICIAL, DIES

Succumbs To Heart Disease After Illness of One Day. vVas Prominent in Cleveland Financial and Cliib Circles.

After an illness of but one clay, Lyman H. Treadway, vice chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of the Fourth district ahd president of the Peck, Stow & Wilcox Co., died yesterday morn­ ing, December 3, 1919, at ro :30 in his residence, 8917 Euclid Avec

The cause of his death was heart disease. His condition was not believed critical until a short time before he died. HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

Mrs. Treadway was the only member of his family in Cleve­ land at the time. Mr. Treadway left two children, Miss Eliza­ beth Treadway, a student at Westover, Conn., and Lyman H. Jr., a student at Hotchkiss school, Lakeville, Conn., and two step­ children, Mrs. Worth Howard of Greenwich, Conn., and Edward B. Leisenring, of Hazleton, Pa. Mrs. Treadway was Miss Annie Wickham, daughter of Delos 0. Wickham of Cleveland.

Mr. Treadway was 57. He was born in New Haven, Conn., March 27, 1862, the son of Augustine R. Treadway, who died in Cleveland eight years ago. Mrs. A. R. Treadway, his mother, resides at 17836 Lake Avenue, Lakewood. He had two brothers, F. W. Treadway, attorney, 17839 Lake Avenue, and Charles F. Treadway of New Haven, Conn., and one sister, Mrs. James Mathers, 17836 Lake Avenue.

Mr. Treadway came to Cleveland after his father had organ­ ized the Wilcox-Treadway Co., manufacturers of hardware and mechanics' tools, in 1880. He had entered mercantile business in New Haven in 1879, and when he came to Cleveland started as a packer in the "Wilcox-Treadway Co., learning the hardware and tool business from the ground up.

The company was afterward incorporated with the Peck, Stow & Wikox Co., the Cleveland plant of which is at 2167 W. 3rd street. A larger plant was completed some years ago at Southington, Conn. The corporation recently celebrated the 100th anniversary of its founding in Connecticut.

Mr. Treadway succeeded his father as president of the com­ pany in 19II, when A. R. Treadway retired. He died a few months later. The direction of the hardware manufacturing busi­ ness was Lyman H. Treadway's main activity for the greater part of 1his life, but he found time for a variety of other connec­ tions and interests, such as those of director of Superior Savings & Trust Co., and trustee of \Vestern Reserve University.

In 1907-08 he was president of the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce. At another time he was president of the Union Club. He had served as trustee of St. Luke's hospital, Hiram House and the Cleveland Day Nursery, and at the time of his death was a trustee of Calvary Presbyterian church.

Mr. Treadway was a thirty-third degree Mason, one of very few in Cleveland and a life member of Lake Erie consistory, Scottish Rite. He was also a member of the New England So­ ciety, the Tippecanoe Republican Club, the Colonial, Union, Coun­ try and Roadside Clubs of Cleveland, and the Union League Club of New York. HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 139

David C. Wills, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, 0., speaking of Lyman H. Treadway, paid a tribute to him which was published in Finance and Industry, December 13, 1919, as follows:-

MR. WILLS' TRIBUTE TO MR. TREADWAY

The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, the member banks in the district, and a host of financial, business and personal friends mourn this week the loss of the friendly, helpful counsel of Mr. Lyman H. Treadway, vice chairman of the Federal Re­ serve Bank and one of the pioneers in its organization, and presi­ dent of the Peck, Stow and Wilcox Company, of Cleveland. His death, at the age of 57, followed a single day's illness from heart trouble.

In speaking concerning Mr. Treadway's services to the board of directors of the Federal Reserve Bank and to the district, Mr. D. C. Wills, chairman of the board, said:

"Comparatively few people know what an important part Mr. Treadway took in the early days of the bank and the amount of time he gave to its development, even up to a clay or two before his death.

"He and myself were the first two officers appointed, and to­ gether we looked around Cleveland for a location, spending a week continuously. Until the bank had an office, all mail ad­ dressed to the Federal Reserve Bank was delivered to Mr. Tread­ way. At almost the first meeting of our board he was made a permanent member of the executive committee, and he with the governor and the chairman made up the discount committee of the executive committee. Frequently this committee met daily, and Mr. Treadway's presence and counsel were unfailingly available.

"He attended the affairs given from time to time for the bank's employes, and displayed as much interest and pride in the bank's growth as if he had been an active officer.

"He had a splendid dignity which combined with a keen sense of responsibility, made him an outstanding figure in the history of the bank. He possessed a very unusual and rare talent in that he had a judicial mind.

"The Federal Reserve Bank was fortunate to have had such a large measure of Mr. Treadway's advice and service during the bank's formative and developing period, and the people of the dis­ trict should know of the very valuable contribution he made." HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

Coming from New Haven, Conn., Mr. 'Treadway started his Cleveland business career by becoming a packer in his father's hardware and tool factorv known as the \Vilcox-Treadway Com­ pany, which was later rri';rged with the Peck, Stow and vVilcox Company. Mr. Treadway succeeded his father as president, fol­ lowing the latter's retirement eight years ago.

He was a former director of the Superior Savings and Trust Company, a trustee of \Ne.~tern Reserve University and of Calvary Presbyterian Church, a former president of the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce, and had been active in public affairs.

Herewith we reproduce the address of Dr. Bradley, given at the funeral of Lyman H. Treadway, and printed in Cleveland Topics December 20, 1919: We have come to the close of the earthly phase of a singularly well-rounded and useful life, revealing as it does the possibilities latent in an American boy, and the wonderful opportunities in our American society for the success of such a boy, given good health, willingness to work, a conscience void of offense toward Goel and man, and the inspiring influence of a true and happy home. Born in New Haven, of the sturdy Connecticut stock, Lyman Treadway came to Cleveland when a youth of 18, and became attached to the manufacturing concern of which he later was president, as the least and lowliest of its employes. From that advantageous point of vantage, he traveled through and became familiar with every stage of the business, from the packer who shipped the completed hard­ ware, to the problem of the employer of labor in the shop and the anxieties of the merchant in the office. He thus made his place in the community, revealing the qualities of industry, courtesy, integ­ rity and justice by doing' the thing no matter how elementary it was that his hand found to do, and doing it with all his might, clay after clay, and year after year. He was the man who could find in daily drudgery the interest, tl;ie display of invention and the outlet for rational adventure which convinced this community that he could be trusted in its larger concerns. Hence it was that he be­ came director in several financial institutions, his counsel was sought in matters of great moment, he was selected President of the Cham­ ber of Cornmerce to lead the city in its forward movement; he was one of the select men to head the great Federal Reserve Bank, and to use an old expression-he was counted among the few "elders of the people," as gifted with courage, wisdom, a sure grasp of each situation, flawless patriotism and a single purpose to serve the city and his country wifh the best he had. To have thus lived from boyhood to mature manhood, in the open, like a book read and seen of all men, with no paragraph in it needing to be edited or cen­ sored, and to have lived such a life in one of the most notable and fast developing cities of our modern world, as a leader among splen­ did leaders, where one is compared with multitudes of able ambit­ ious and active men, and where a trivial weakness, or a temporary HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY I4.I indolence, or a single loss of temper, or a moment's faltering may put one at once out of the running-to have so lived in an active whirl of affairs such as we have witnessed these last five years, so as to come to gray hairs with nothing but the approval and honor of his fellow citizens-is to have attained the most distinguished honor.

Such was the public record of this man, a record to cause pride in the midst of sorrow, and to make the eyes that today fill with tears to brighten with the glad memory of a life well lived. What mother or wife would not be proud to own such a man as son or mate!

But it will be of even more satisfaction to recall that in all this tract of years our good friend lived a private life of unusual happi­ ness. Mr. Treadway had the felicity of growing up in a home whose gracious mother compelled admiration as well as affection, and whose chivalrous father compelled honor and respect. Such homes have been the glory and power of New England and Amer­ ica. And when Lyman Treadway in due time made a home of his own, it was as ideal as the one in which he grew to manhood, a home of peace and contentment, and merry child life, and loyalty that knew no flaw, in a comradeship t:hat was perfect, and that private contentment manifested itself in the cheer and optimism of his public life. And in the background of these homes where there flourish the mothers of real folks, the finest gift of God's love to mankind, there was the fear of God and the spirit oi Jesus Ghrist as represented in the -church. If only the young men and women knew it-the happiness of years owes its finest distinction and charm to the atmosphere of a sensible and practical religious life­ for which the church ever must stand. Mr. Treadway realized it, and not only his own church and its faithful pastor had his cordial and steady support, but all the churches and every minister who knew him felt the strength of his manly fidelity to the ideals of the Master.

So, living strenuously yet serenely, loving the beautiful things of music, poetry and art, and nature, tender as a woman to child and wife and venerable mother, the finest of brothers, the gentlest of fathers, the most delightful of comrades, courteous to every man, no matter what his station, modest in his liberal giving, meeting every emergency with courage and faith-always hopeful, always having charity for the weak and the faltering and the erring, he came and went among us the strong, wise, faithful man and friend; and God spared him the suffering and anxiety of a long illness-as he vanished swiftly from our sight to live vividly in our memories. He will still be with us there.

"He to whom a thousand memories call, Not being less, but more than all The gentleness, he seemed to be. HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

Best seemed the thing he was, and joined Each office of the social hour To noble manners, as the flower And native growth of noble mind. Nor even narrowness, or spite, Or villian fancy fleeting by Drew in the expression of an eye, Where God and nature met in light. And thus he bore without abuse The grand old name of gentleman. -Tennyson.

FRANCIS WrLcox TREADWAY, born at New Haven, Conn., Jan­ uary, 7, 1869, died at Cleveland, Ohio, December 24, 1925, and is buried in the Riverside Cemetery of that city. The best account of his wonderful life and activities is contained in a Cleveland paper, under date December 25, 1925, which we publish as follows:

F. W. TREADWAY DIES IN HOSPITAL

Business, Social and Political Leader Taken Suddenly

Francis W. Treadway, a leader in the business and social life of Cleveland, died yesterday in St. Luke's hospital. He was stricken 'I'uesday afternoon at a director's meeting of the Perfection Stove Company. Heart disease was the cause of death. Mr. Treadway was one of the influential members of the bar, but his interests were by no means confined to the legal profession. At one time he ranked as a major political figure and in later years was interested either as an officer or director of a dozen Cleveland firms and. institutions.

He was born in New Haven, Con;., January 7, 1869. When he was IO, his father Augustin R. Treadway, moved to Cleveland and founded the Wilcox-Treadway Co., which later became the Peck, Stow & Wilcox Co.

Schooled at Yale

Francis Treadway attended Tremont grade school and West High School in Cleveland and Worcester Polytechnic institute. In 1892 he was graduated from Yale University law school. One of his classmates was William H. Marlatt, with whom he formed the partnership of Treadway & Marlatt in 1893. HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 143

The members of this partnership in 1901 published a treatise on Ohio lien laws, which is commonly referred to as "Treadway & Marlatt on Mechanics' Liens." Treadway was one of Senator M. A. Hanna's political discov­ eries. Hanna influence put him in the legislature in 1904, starting a career which led to becoming lieutenant governor of Ohio in 1909 and 1910. He was one of the youngest men to hold that office. Hanna is said to have remarked that if all politicians were as "honest as young Treadway" politics would become one of the most eminent and respected of the professions. After his term in the legislature Treadway was picked by the Republicans to run as vice mayor on a ticket headed by Theodore Burton in an effort to beat Tom Johnson for mayor. After finishing his term as lieutenant governor, Treadway seemed to be on the threshold of a much broader political career, but he abandoned politics for business. He maintained his interest in the Republican party, however, and was one of the original War­ ren G. Harding men in the 1920 presidential fight.

Director of Many Companies Among the companies Treadway was a director of at the time of his death were the Guardian Trust Co., Baker, R. & L. Co., Ferris Shoe Co., Hertner Electric Co., Perfection Stove Co., Cleveland Varnish Co., University Book Store Co., Aluminum Rolling Mills Co., Swineheart Tire & Rubber Co., Ludlow Co., Euclid Square Co., and Cities Real Estate & Securities Co. He recently resigned the presidency of the Baker R. & L. Co. He was a member of the Chamber of Commerce, the Ohio Ar­ chaeological and Historical Society, American Academy of Political Science, National Geographic Society, Cleveland Bar Association and Ohio State Bar Association. He also was a member of Pilgrim Congregational Church, the Sons of the American Revolution, and the Union, Clifton, May­ field and Westwood clubs. He is survived by his widow, who was Esther Frisbie, two children, Frances S., a graduate of Smith College and Augustin Russell, a student at Harvard University, a sister, Mrs. James Math­ ers of Cleveland and a brother, Charles F. Treadway, of New Haven. Another brother, Lyman H. Treadway, died ten years ago. OSWELL GARLAND TREADWAY Attorney at Law Chicago, Ill. CHAPTER XVI

Genealogy of the Family of OSWELL GARLAND TREADWAY, Attorney at Law, Chicago, lllinOis, by TV. T. Tredway.

Of all the TREDWAYS or TREADWAYS with whom the Editor of this History or Genealogy has corresponded, or come in personal contact, none have been more alert or helpful in encouraging the publisher, or in furnishing the indispensible information to accuracy.

The publisher of this genealogy,. delving back into the past for family connections and for missing branches of the family tree, is as much interested in discovering a new completed branch as is the astronomer in discovering a new planet belonging to the solar sys­ tem, ten billion miles away.

In running back through the centuries in gathering the direct progenitors of Oswell Garland Treadway, we quote for convenience from a sketch of Thomas Tredway and thereby make a connection between the English and American branches of the family so far as the Rev. Silas B. Tredway, who gathered the Tredway data for this genea:ogy, William T. Tredway, the editor and Oswell G. Tread­ way, who materially assisted in the gathering of it. The sketch from which we quote constitutes the succeeding chapter.

"John Tredway, a descendant of this family, with his son, Cris­ pin Tredway, started for the Province of Maryland previous to the year 1700. -The father died on the voyage and was buried in the sea. His son, Crispin Tredway, came on and landing i,1 Bush river, settled at its head, west of James' Run (now Bynum's) and south of the county road ( Philadelphia Pike). He settled upon land left him by a relative who had preceded him to this country. He married and had a son named Thomas. Thomas Tredway married and had five sons and one daughter, viz: John, "\i\Tilliam, Daniel. Moses, Aaron and Mary. Daniel Tredway married Sallie Norris, of Harford County, and had ten children, viz: Thomas, Edward, Susan, Mary, Eliza­ beth, Daniel, Crispin, Hester, Sallie and John. John Tredway married Ruth Peteet in 1792 and had six children, viz: Cheno­ weth, Thomas, Daniel, Sallie, Ruth, and John, the latter still residing at the home place in Harford County, near Black Horse."

Going back over 400 years the editor by his research in London, England and through the data gathered by the Reverend SILAS B. TREDWAY, sets down the lineage of OswELL GARLAND TREADWAY, beginning in the latter part of the 15th Century, which is the com­ mon lineage as detailed in the first chapter of this Genealogy, the dates need not be repeated. The earliest ancestor was HENRY TREDWAY. His son, Robert, 2nd generation; his son JOHN TRED- HISTORY OF THE 'TREDWAY FAMILY

WAY, 3rd generation; his son. Robert, 4th generation; his son JOHN TREDWAY, 5th generation; who, emigrating to the Province of Maryland, died and was buried at sea; his son CRISPEN TREDWAY, of the 6th generation; his son TnoMAS TREDWAY, 7th generation; next in direct line DANIEL TREDWAY, 8th generation, who married Sallie Norris. Their son Thomas, 9th generation, married' Chris­ tine Saunders; their son Edward, rnth generation, married Eliza­ beth Anderson; the son, GEORGE AMOS TREDWAY, IIth Generation, married Elizabeth Miller, May 28, 1835; their son, JOHN LA wsoN TREDWAY, 12th generation, born October 30, 1858, married Martha N. Hinchliff, who was born January 24, 1862 and who were the par­ ents of OsWELL GARLAND TREADWAY, whose cut appears at the be­ ginning of this chapter.

Such was the interest of this OSWELL GARLAND TREADWAY, an Attorney at Law, Chicago, Ill., that he did in a few days after re­ ceiving my letter lay down before me all the information which he was able to gather regarding the genealogy of his own family, or of his own branch of the Tredway family tree, and I give it as follows:

As to myself, I was born September 6, 1887, on a farm near Shelby, Polk County, Nebraska, to where my father, JOHN LAWSON TREADWAY, on his marriage to Martha Ann Hinchliff, had gone to make his fortune in the great West. A year later he moved to Tren­ ton, Hitchcock County, Nebr. The lack of rain ;:incl continued fail­ ure of crops, however, caused him to return to Illinois in 1894. He then settled on a farm near Macomb, Illinois, which has been his home since, and where I grew up.

Sketch of the late Tr-10,1As TREDWAY, son of John Norris Tredway and Ruth Peteet Tredway, and cousin of 1/homas Tredway, whose portrait appears on page r r r.

THOMAS TREDWAY was born in Harford County, Md., July 25th, 1796, and died at Baynesville, Baltimore County, March 25th, 1888, in the ninety-second year ,of his age. He descended from an honorable family of England. Richard Tredway, Esq., son of Thomas Tredway, of Ammersham, Buckinghamshire, was one of the Benchers of the Inner Temple, London, and Reader of that Society in the thirtieth ( r 588) and thirty-ninth ( I 597) years of Queen Elizabeth's reign. B.e married and had one son, Sir Walter Tredway, who was made a knight by his Sovereign for his bravery. He married and had two daughters-Lettice, a nun, and Elizabeth, daughter and heir apparent, who married William Stafford, Esq., of Blatherwick, county of Northamptonshire. Robert Tredway, sec­ ond son of 'Thomas Tredway and younger brother of Richard Tred­ way, married Margaret, daughter of Guy Fisher, Esq., of Buckden, county of Huntingdon. He had a son, John Tredway, who married Elizabeth, daughter of Edmund Waller, Esq., of Beaconsfield, Buck­ inghamshire. He died May roth, t6ro, and is buried in Christ's Church, Farringdon, within Lon.don. He had seven children, viz: Robert, Edmund, Sarah, Mary, Cecily ( died in infancy), Cecily and Alice. Robert, the eldest of these children, married Alice, daughter of Anthony Thorald, Esq., of Hough, Lincolnshire. He was one of the Commission of the Peace for Lincolnshire and was made a knight in 1653. He had seven children, viz: Anthony, William, John, Robert, Thomas, George and Alice. Anthony, the eldest son and heir apparent, married and had two daughters, Mary and Alice. George married and had five children, viz : Hester, George, Alice, Robert and Thomas, all living in 1664. Evers Armyne, of Ketton, county of Rutland, and Osgotby, county of Lincoln, a Justice of the Peace for Rutland, born at Willoughby, December 19th, 1599, and died in 1678, married Cecily, daughter of John Tredway, Esq., in 1635. She had five children, viz: Mary, Elizabeth, Evers, Cecily and Margaret, all of whom were born and lived at Ketton, Rutlandshire, England.

The township of Ketton contained 3,122 acres of land and was divided into five manors, viz: Greneham's, Gray's, Hunchins's, Sep­ ringham and the Prebendal Manor. King Henry VIII, by his let­ ters patent, dated the 17th of July, in the thirty-seventh year of his reign, granted the Manor of Ketton, formerly belonging to the late priory of Sepringham, to James Gunter, who had license to alien­ a~e this estate by the name of Ketilsthorpe Grange, in the same year, to Sir James Harington, knight, and his heirs, which Sir James, in the fifteenth year of Queen Elizabeth's reign, was called to show by what title he held the Manor of Kettelthorpe, and in the thirty- HISTORY OF TH.E TREDWAY FAMILY

sixth year of Queen Elizabeth's reign John Harington, knight, son and heir of Sir James, had license to grant the Manor of Ketton to Richard Stace and his heirs. This estate was afterwards the pro­ perty of Robert Tredway, Esq., who, in 1623, served the office of Sheriff for this (Rutland) county. In the seventeenth year of the reign of Charles I ( 1642) Evers Armyne and Elizabeth Tredway, who was the mother of Armyne's wife, had lands here rated in a subsidy at six pounds per annum. Mr. Armyne was a Magistrate under Parliamentary authority and one of the most active persons in the public business of this county at that period. His will is elated October 19th, 1677, and proved in the Praerog, Court of Abp. of Canterbury, July 15th, 1680, leaving his estate to his grandson, Ar­ myne Bullingham.

The coat of arms of the Tredway family was an argent, a chev­ ron azure, between three trefoils. (leaves) slipped vert (green): crest, a dexter (right) hand couped ( cut off) below the wrist, in armor proper, holding a sword of the last (court) hilt, or (gold) on the point a Turk's head couped at the neck proper. (See Blore's History of Rutland.)

John Tredway, a descendant of this family, with his son Cris­ pin Tredway; started for the Province of Maryland previous to the year 1700. The father died on the voyage and was buried at sea. His son, Crispin Tredway, came on and landing in Bush River, set­ tled at its head, west of James' Run (now Bynum's) and south of the county road ( Philadelphia pike). He settled upon land left him by a relative who had preceded him to this country. He married and had a son named Thomas. Thomas Tredway married and had five sons and one daughter, viz: John, William, Daniel, M'oses, Aaron and Mary. Daniel 'Tredway married Sallie Norris, of Har­ ford county and had ten children, viz: Thomas, Edward, Susan, Mary, Elizabeth, Daniel, Crispin, Hester, Sallie and John. John Tredway married Ruth Peteet in 1792 and had six children, viz: Chenoweth, Thomas, Daniel, Sallie, Ruth and John, the latter still residing at the home place in Harford county, near Black Horse.

Thomas Tredway of this family, is the subject of the present sketch. He grew to manhood amid the surroundings and associa­ tions incident to a country farm-life a century ago. At that time, all the clothing worn by farmers and people generally was home~ made. The flax was grown upon the farm and put through all the processes of manufacture by the family until it became a finished garment, when the boys were expected to "break in" their tow shirt and pants, an experience in no manner desirable, as the coarse fab­ ric coming in contact with the skin produced an itching sensation that was almost intolerable. In the matter of clothing, provisions and farming implements every farmer's family was an independent ar­ rangement, a self-supporting machine not altogether unlike the old feudal lords in the earlier days of England. HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

John Tredway, the father of Thomas, had become converted to Methodism while attending a meeting in Baltimore in 1803, and as there were no churches in the neighborhood, he made his house a "preaching place," making with his own hands a portable pulpit and benches for the use of the "circuit rider" and his congregation. The house being small young Thomas, with other boys who had followed their parents to "meeting," were relegated to the kitchen, where, with no one to watch them, they drank buttermilk, stole sugar, ate preserves and played other pranks while the preacher in the next room was descanting on original sin and actual transgression to a weeping and conscience-stricken congregation.

Thomas Tredway made his first visit to Baltimore when he was eleven years of age ( 1807) in company with his uncle, Crispin Tred­ way, an elder brother of his father's. The Harford pike was not built at that time, and the road mostly traveled by farmers from that section of Harford led from Black Horse, through Sweet Air, Un­ ionville, by Summerfield farm, across the Great Gunpowder falls at Cromwell's bridge, and at the old mill w.1here Mr. Stephen Mit­ chell now lives the road turned to the left instead of the right and passed up the hill close by the old Pine Grove Methodist Protestant Church and on by Mr. Jdhn W. Shanklin's residence, which was then kept as a country tavern, crossing the bed of the present pike at the five mile hill and merging with it again at Hall's Springs and leading into the city. Every farmer carried in his wagon a bag which he called a "poke," in which was placed a boiled ham, a print of butter and about a peck of Maryland biscuit, and with a quart of coffee, which could be purdhased at any of the taverns along the road for "a fip-and-a-bit" ( six and a quarter cents) he managed to live in his two or three clay's absence from home. One of the elder Tredways made from sassafras wood a quart keg in which to carry applejack when any of the family went to Baltimore with a load of produce. This keg was known in the community as the "Tredway Hogshead." I have often heard the subject of this sketch speak of stopping at the spring opposite the fulling mill near Cromwell's Bridge to let the horses rest while the wagoners would refresh themselves with water from the spring and applejack from the "Tredway Hogshead," that was more exhilarating than the nectar of the gods. The roads were rough and hard to travel in those days, and fifty bushels of grain or eleven barrels of cider and twenty bushels was considered a fair load for five horses.

On the 27th of August, 1814, 'Thomas Tredway, with his father was summoned to the defense of Baltimore, which was then threat­ ened by the British forces under General Ross. He became a mem­ ber of Capt. James Rampley's company, which was attached to the 42nd Regiment, Maryland State Militia, under the command of Col. Andrew Turner and Lieut. Col. Smith. They mustered ( drilled) in Findlay's "old fields" near Jarrettsville. The clay the regiment left for Baltimore the wives and mothers came to the muster ground to bid their husbands and sons farewell. It was a time of tears and HISTORY OF TIIE TREDWAY FAMILY 193 great grief, and Thomas Tredway could scarcely speak of it without shedding tears. The regiment marched to Baltimore by way of Cooptown and reaching their destination encamped on Chincapin Hill, and were placed in the line of the second reserve on the day of the battle of North Point, September 12th, 1814, and so had the good fortune to miss the brunt of the engagement. The British de­ feated, the regiment was ordered to Annapolis for post duty, but Thomas 'Tredway, with other younger members of the command, re­ turned to their homes and were never called out afterwards. In 1859 he received a land warrant of a hundred and sixty acres of land, and in 1878 the General Government granted him a pension of eight dol­ lars per month for his military services in the defense of his native State.

He was twice married. The first time to Ruth Demoss, Jan. 14th, 1821, daughter of John Demoss, of Harford county, by whom he had five children, viz: Nicholas, John, Lewis, Amanda and Chen­ oweth. His second wife was Jemima, daughter of Joseph Duncan, to whom he was married December 24th, 1837, in Baltimore City, by Rev. Nelson Reed, and who still survives him. The fruits of this union were six children, all of whom are living in Baltimore county, except one, who resides at Hanesville as pastor of St. James M. P. Church.

Thomas Tredway was a large, fine-looking man in the days of his prime, being over six foot and weighing ordinarily 210 pounds. He was open and free to the approach of men and yet so retiring in his manner and disposition, growing out of the lack of an education, that he sought the privacy of home and family rather than the scenes and associations of public life. He was a man of very de­ cided preferences, and under all circumstances maintained the cour­ age of his convictions, be the circumstances what they might. Char­ acter was a word of immense significance and possessed for him in­ fluence and relations that were as far-reaching and wide-sweeping as the whole range of earthly existence, and consequently controlled to the fullest extent all the actions of his life.

CHAPTER XVIII

EXPLANATORY NOTE

In the publication of this Genealogy the editor, who has under­ taken it at his own risk and expense ( to have the publication made), has met with perhaps the usual difficulties and embarrassments of those who have gone through similar experiences in undertaking like publications.

Rev. Silas B. Tredway, who gathered most of the data con­ tained in this book over a period of fifty years, a Methodist Protest­ ant minister with a large family and small salary, finally despaired of ever being able personally to publish a history of t~e Tred':"ay family, although he had gathered very much valuable mformatl?n. All that came to him after the year 1900, seems to be largely clip­ pings from newspapers concerning the Tredway family.

After the death of the Rev. Silas B. Tredway, his daughter, Idella W. Tredway, writing from 400 Seward Square, Washington, D. C. on June 23, 1918, to myself, says:

"About ten days ago mother sent you by express books containing what history Papa had collected of the Tredway family. Before his death last July, he requested these books b·e sent to you, but I just delayed doing it. We send it to you just as he had it, and I hope you have received it in good condition.

"I am in the accounting office clown in the Navy Yard and my work is very interesting.

"My dear Daddy found much pleasure in getting together this history, and he felt there was no one else who would enjoy it as you would. He so often wished he might have seen you before he died. We still miss him, Oh, so much, for his very happy disposition made our home so bright."

This with an invitation to visit them in their home in Washing­ ton concluded the message accompanying the data.

Coming thus into my hands as a lawyer with the intricacies, manifold engagements and responsibilitie,- of an active lawyer after the practice then of more than thirty years, the data was examined with no immediate action until the summer of 1922, when the spon­ sor of this publication was called upon to write and read a general history of the Tredway family at a Tredway Reunion held at the home of James Emmet Greer, in Knox County, Ohio. We tried to enlist sufficient interest by which those who attended that reunion HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 201 would contribute further data and financial aid in the publication; yet efforts looking towards the publication lagged, but the plan to publish it was never abandoned.

Availing myself of an opportunity to take a Mediterranean cruise covering February. March and April, 1926, I stepped off the ship at Southampton, and went by rail to London. where I spent two clays visiting many book stores of ancient origin, also the Geneal­ ogical Socie'ty of Lond'on, delving back as far as possible into the history of the Tredway family, and then arranged to get the English family tree found published on page 32 of this volume. I had al­ ready sent to and obtained from the John Frick Jewelry Co., of No. 8 Maiden Lane, New York City, N. Y., the Tredway Coat of Arms, a print of which appears in this volume.

At the Tredwav Reunion held at the Fair Grounds at Coshocton Ohio, in August, i929. the difficulty of obtaining names and ad­ dresses of heads of Tredway families in the United States was dis­ cussed. We then learned through Helen Bonnwell Steinbrecher, the daughter of Cornea D. Tredway, who in turn is the daughter of Garret S. Tredway, my uncle, who was a son of Thomas Tredway, that in the City of Detroit there is a library known as the Polk Directories Library, containing a directory of every city and town in the United States. From this she volunteered as her contribution towards the work, to copy the names and addresses of every Tred­ way given in these directories. Illness and other unavoidable de­ lays prevented her from undertaking this work. I therefore wrote to the Polk Library of Directories at Detroit, asking under what conditions we could obtain such a list, only to learn that in the 'City of Pittsburgh, a similar library of directories had been established. This we visited and found there were over 400 city directories in that library arranged in alphabetical order of the cities, ignoring any order of the States. There we were told we could go through these 400 directories and take off the names and addresses of all of the Tredways or Treadways listed therein at the usual charge of $1.00 per hour for use of the library. vVe found it, however, more econom­ ical both in time and money to have one of the attendants at the li­ brary make a typewritten list, which was clone, giving a list of 470 heads of families. This with the names and addresses of others al­ ready gathered, run the names and addresses of the known Trecl­ ways up to 700 or more, which with all the names and addresses of between three and four hundred others who had lost their name by marriage, or were descendants of the Tredway ancestors made up the list from which the more recent data of this genealogy was com­ piled.

In issuing this publication we express our gratitude and bespeak it from all others in whose veins runs the Tredway blood, for the invaluable, painstaking service of the Rev. Silas B. Tredway; the wonderful help and assistance of Oswell G. Tredway, a lawyer of eminence, at No. I LaSalle street, Chicago, Illinois, who not only 202 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY subscribed liberally to the cost of publication, but furnished the most accurate and exhaustive information concerning names, dates and places of birth, present addresses, and dates and places of death and relationship of his entire branch of the family back to the com­ mon ancestor of himself and William Thomas Tredway, the editor and publisher of this volume. We are also deeply indebted to Harry E. Tredway, of Dubuque, Iowa, having a most complete delineation of the Massachusetts and Connecticut branches of the family run­ ning back to the original ancestor, Nathaniel Tredway, the weaver, of Sudbury, Mass. We also acknowledge valuable information from Mrs. H. T. Parke, of \Villimantic, Conn., Mrs. Jane Tredway Par­ ker, of 6837 Kingsbury Boulevard, St. Louis, Mo.; of William Eu­ gene Tredway, Attorney at Law, of Spencer, Ind., of Lucy D. Treadway, of 134 S. W. 14th Avenue, Miami, Florida, and Salem, Conn.; of A. C. Treadway, of Winfield, Kan.; also from Ralph B. Tredway, an attorney at Glen Ellyn, Ill.; of W. M. Tredway, Jr., a lawyer of Chatham, Va., also Col. Robert Rose Treadway, of At­ lanta, Ga., now stationed at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., and others, for whose work recognition will be made in connection with the chap­ ters contributed. The chapters contributed in many cases over-lap but are published as furnished that the connection and the direct genealogical ancestor may be apparent at a glance. We have ac­ cordingly published these different branches that those who are in­ terested may make their own connection so far as they are able to make the connection by an explanatory note later on in the gen­ ealogy. We, therefore, now begin the publication of these family trees just as furnished to us, giving credit to the one who sent the data in the separate chapters following this explanatory note. While this genealogy will be quite extensive, covering as it does fifteen generations from Queen Elizabeth's time down, it has many matters of peculiar interest, particularly its Coat of Arms. Of twen­ ty million families in America, but 188 have a Coat of Arms. The historic connections with Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth, John Adams and John Quincy Adams, Presidents of the United States, the Lawyers, Ministers, Physicians, Generals, Judges, Journalists, and Governors of States, and other historic connections make a thrilling narrative which everyone should like to pass on to genera­ tions yet unborn. The 'Tredway family, especially in early days, seem to have obeyed the Biblical injunction to be fruitful and multiply. Many of the Rooseveltian families are delineated in this genealogy. In at least three instances two brothers of Tredway families married two sisters of families other than Tredway. There is one instance of an ancient Thomas Tredway ancestor who married the fourth wife. Two instances, I believe, in the Maryland branch, first cousins were married, which was probably permitted in the early days of that State. A few have died tragic deaths, some on battlefields, and many others in the World \Var, Spanish American War, Civil War, War with Mexico, and the Revolutionary War, passed through frightful engagements but lived to tell the story.

HISTORY OF THE TREDW Ay F AMIL y 221

Sketch of ROBERT RosE TREADWAY, of Atlanta, Ga., now, 1930, Stationed at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.

One of the most interesting chapters of this genealogy has been contributed by Robert Rose Treadway, a print of whom appears at the beginning of this chapter. His home at the printing of this genealogy was at Atlanta, Ga. His wife writing me under date May r6, 1930, from 1420 Eric Street, S. E. Atlanta, Ga., says:

"He asked me to get data from a pamphlet of the 4th Ken­ tucky Regiment, Spanish-American War, in which Capt. M. J. Treadway, a relative of my husband, states that the genealogy of our race is traced back to Prince Edward County, Mary­ land, but unfortunately I can not find the pamphlet.

"From Prince Edward County, Maryland, went three Tread ways: One to Kentucky, one to Georgia and one to Ohio. ,iVilliam W. Treadway, born in r8oo, was a son of the Tread­ way who came to Kentucky. In August 26, 1824, Elisha B. Treadway was born +o Vv'illiam W. Treadway.

"Elisha B. Treadway was Lieutenant in the war with Mex­ ico in 1848. He was Captain and Major in the U. S. Army in the Civil War. He was elected to the Legislature of Kentucky in 1875. He was once appointed and twice elected sheriff of Owsley County, Kentucky.

"To Elisha B. Treadway was born Robert Rose Treadway, on November I, 1875. Robert Rose Treadway was in the Span­ ish-American war, the Philippine Insurrection and Moro up­ rising. He was elected to Kentucky State Legislature in 1915. He was Colonel on the staff of Governor Morrow of Kentucky. He has been in the service of the government for about twenty­ five years, and is at the present time.

"I am very sorry, Mr. Tredway, to be unable to find the little book, but I am very sure Mr. Treadway is familiar with its contents and if you want anything further I am sure he shall be glad to assist you."

Following her suggestion I wrote direct to Robert Rose Tread­ way, and received back from him a letter expressing regret at not finding the pamphlet in which his family was written up before his entrance into the Spanish-American war, and which he seems un­ able to locate. In his letter of June 24, 1930, written from Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, he says:

"My great grandfather was named:

Miss., and other places including Youngs Point, Millican's Bend, Baton Rouge, La. tle was twice promoted for gallant service in the Department of the Gulf, being Captain, Major and Lieutenant Colonel 7th Ken­ tucky Volunteer Infantry U. S. A. The two other sons, Wil­ liam W. and Winfield S. were non-commissioned officers in the Spanish-American War.

"Of the five sons of Elisha B. Treadway, four of them were soldiers, holding rank from "buck private" to Colonel, and one Decatur B. was County Court Clerk of Owsley County, Kentucky, and was a clerk in the Surgeon General and Adjutant General Office in Washington, D. C. for twenty-nine years.

"Now, Mr. Tredway, I will send you the names and ad­ dresses of several Treadways at an early date. Now I can not 224 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

tell whether the Moses Treadway, my great grandfather, is either of the ones of "your Southern Division Virginia Branch" or not.

"I have had a long talk with Dr. \Valter Lewis Treadway, Assistant Surgeon General of U. S. Public Health Service, Washington, D. C., as they, the Public Health Service, now has charge of the Medical branch of the U. S. Prisons, and he told me that he and Congressman Allen T. Treadway of Massachus­ etts had talked quite a bit of your endeavors to publish the Tredway or Treadway Genealogy. Now I will be glad to hear further from you."

In view of the ·fact that Moses Tredway came from Prince Ed­ ward County, Maryland, about the year 1777. there is no doubt in my mind that his common ancestry runs back very quickly into the ancestry of William M. Tredway, Jr., an Attorney at Law, of Chat­ ham, Va., from whose letter under elate May 17, 1930, I quote as follows. It seems quite plain to me.

'"There has just fallen into my hands and been read with a great deal of interest a copy of the history of the Tredway fam­ ily given by you at a reunion held in Knox County, Ohio, Aug. 19, 1922. Since my branch of the 'Tredway family descended from the Tredways of Maryland, I am wondering just what in­ formation you have gathered, if any, about this particular branch of the family. I am a son of William M. Tredway II, who was a son of William Marshall Tredway. My grandfather was a native of Prince Edward County, Virginia. When a young _man he came to Danville, Va., and later removed to Chatham. He married in Pittsylvania County, of which Chat­ ham is the county seat, and has quite a number of descendants, as he had four sons and three daughters who married and had children. There is in the possession of a cousin an old family Bible, from this I give you a few extracts which may prove to b~ of interest:

" 'This book was the family Bible of my Godly and pious father, Moses Tredway, of Prince Edward County. This book, I suppose, has been in use for eighty years, or more. V-1. M. Tredway, January. r88r.'

" 'Moses Tredway and Martha B. Booker intermarried on July 9, 1803. Moses Tredway was married the second time March 26, 1817, to Elizabeth P. Guerrant. Wm. M. Tredwav was a son of the first marriage. His father was Moses Tred­ way, Jr. He died in Prince Eclward County in December, 1860, age 82 years. Moses Tredway, Sr., came to Manchester, Va., from Maryland, moving from Manchester to Prince Ed­ ward County. Thomas Tredway, father of Moses Tredway, HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 225

Sr., was born in England about the year 1716, and intermarried with ----, of Harford County, Maryland, she being the fourth wife and mother of Moses. Moses Tredway, Sr.; mar­ ried Sarah Hopkins and had seven children. 'Three died in in­ fancy. Four lived to raise families. Thomas Tredway, born January 1777; Moses, Jr., born September 19, 1778; John, born June 17, 1781; Sarah, born April 19, 1784, married Thomas Cobbs of Buckingham County, Va.'

"My grand father and most of his direct descendants are Presbyterians. If there is any way that I can assist you in the work, if you have not completed it, it will be a pleasure to do so. I would also appreciate any information you have bearing on my branch of the family.

"My father and grandfather were attorneys."

It will be noted that the father of Moses Tredway, Sr., was Thomas Tredway, and by reference to the History of Thomas Tred­ way, page 191, that through the Maryland branch, Thomas Tred­ way married, and had five sons and one daughter, namely: John, William, Daniel, Moses, Aaron and Mary. Doubtless this Moses was the direct progenitor of the Moses Tredway of Prince Edward County.

From Lucy D. Treadway, 134 S. W. u,th .Avenue, .Miami, Florida; Permanent address, Salem, Connecticut.

i Enoch Treadway was my grandfather and my father was Henry Treadway. There were four children of Enoch Treadway's: I-Emma, who married Thomas Thrall, of Windsor, Conn. She had two children: Cora, who married Arthur Cowan; Cora is deceased. They had three boys: Freel Thrall, who is single and living in Wind- sor, Conn. ·

II. Amelia Treadway Hawkes, now deceased. No children.

III. Augusta Treadway Palmer, '83, whose address is P. 0. Box 75, Poquonoch, Conn., and I think would be able to give quite a little data further back. She had three children: r. Grace Palmer Ford, no children. 2. Bertha Palmer Rogers, one daughter, Eunice Rogers Clark. 3. Robert Palmer, who has five children: Carolyn, Dorothy, Robert, Olive and Harold, all single.

III. Henry Treadway, born January 16, 1848, deceased May 15, 1930; married to Fanny Denison April 23, 1879, at Co'.chester, Conn. The following are their children: 226 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

This covers my immediate family.

I know Enoch Treadway had several brothers and sisters, but don't remember any other names besides James and Woodbridge. I have a distant cousin, a Mrs. Park, who lives with a brother in Conn. I believe his name is Richard Turner and his address is either Wind­ ham of Williamantie, Conn. Mrs. Park has considerable data and record of the family connections of this p'articular branch. In your letter no mention is made of the Connecticut or New England group.

There is a Mrs. Jack Harley here in Miami, who was a Miss Treadway. She came from Virginia, I believe. Her address i"' 1848 N. E. Avenue, Miami, Florida.

The following interesting letter and biographical sketch were con­ tributed by H. A. Abell, of Rochester, New York-

The letter is as follows:-

I was very glad to receive your letter of June 28th and also to know that someone is compiling the Treadway genealogy.

I have been searching a long time for the family of my great grandmother, "Lucy Treadway," and at the present time I have not succeeded in placing her in the proper branch of the Treadway fam­ ily tree. If you could identify and place her in the family I shall be pleased to subscribe to a copy of the Treadway genealogy.

I have very little information on Lucy Treadway, but will give HISTORY OF THE TREDWA y F AMIL y 229 you all the data I possess for your information. Lucy Treadway was born about 1767 to 1769 probably in Lebanon, Conn., or within the vicinity. She married Jonathan Abe11 about 1790 probably in the same locality. Jonathan was born May 3r, 1767, in Lebanon, Conn., son of Jonathan and Lydia (Bliss) Abell of Lebanon. Jona­ than and Lucy had seven children, most of them born within the vicinity of Lebanon, Conn. I believe Lucy is connected in some way with the fami,ly of William Treadway (born 1705) of Lebanon. He died in Shoreham, Vt., and had a Jonathan 'Treadway who lived in Lebanon and moved to Shoreham, Vt. He may have had a Mary, David, William, Abigail, Samuel and probably my Lucy.

In the number of years that I have been searching for my Lucy Treadway, I collected quite a few notes on Treadway families, which I am enclosing for your information. This data may not be absolutely correct as I did not attempt to verify this information by further researches as I was unable to place Lucy among them to my satisfaction.

I thank you for any help you may be able to give me.

The sketch continues:-

JONATHAN ABELL - LUCY TREADWAY

Jonathan Abell, born May 3r, 1767, in Lebanon, Connecticut, baptized July r9, 1767, in the Congregational Church of Lebanon­ Columbia, organized 1720; died after 1830. probably in Duanes­ burgh Township, Schenectady County, New York.

(Lebanon town was geog-raphically located in Windham County, Conn., in r8oo, and Co­ lumbia town was organized from part of Lebanon town in 1804). On November 8, 1794, Jonathan bought one acre of land and part of a building and rights therein, which was bounded north on Capt. Samuel Jones' land, west on the highway and east on his father's land: "Also the new kitchen so-called with the chimney in it and cellar under it with cellar walls, except the east end which joins the west encl to the west side of the house, also another small building adjoining- the west side of the old house and is called the shop room. Said old house being the same that Joseph Waters, deceased, lived in and in which I now live, also the new part of said deceased's barn being on the east encl of the old barn with liberty of passing to said buildings and of taking them away or occupying them.''

Obituary notice on the call to the great beyond of Alfred Treadway in Washington, D. C., on April 13th, 1887.

Alfred Treadway departed this life in Washington City, D. C., April 13th, 1887, in the seventy-fifth year of his age. He was born August 23rd, 1812, in the town of Madison, Hamilton County. N. Y. and was the son of Ezekiel Treadway, and grandson of Asa Tread­ way, who was a descendant of Nathaniel Treadway, who settled in Watertown, Mass., and was Selectman of that town for seven years, ranging from 1653 to 1672. The subject of this sketch adopted the HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 233 profession of law as his calling in life. In 1837 he married Miss Annjannett LeDoyt, and thinking the opportunities for usefulness in the West greater than those of his native place, he moved from the State of New York the year of his marriage, settled in Michigan, and became identified with the interests of the town of Pontinac, where he followed the practice of his profession. His talents for usefulness and strict integrity were soon recognized by the commun­ ity, and he was called by the voice of the people to serve many years in town and county offices. In 1856 he moved to Washington city, where he was appointed to a position under the Government, through the influence of his friend, Gen. Lewis Cass, then a leader in the politics of Michigan and afterwards Secretary of State during the Buchanan administration. In r86r, when the war commenced, and troops poured into Washington from all parts of the country, his residence became the rendezvous for many of the Michigan officers and soldiers camping in the vicinity, and at one time seemed almost a hospital-one officer dying there, and others nursed through sick­ ness consequent upon army exposure. Alfred Treadway was a gen­ tleman of the old school, an order of men that once flourished in this country, but which is now almost extinct. Being a man of wide and extensive reading, he was an elegant conversationalist and an agree­ able companion to any one with whom he might come in contact. In his younger and more active days when the energies were full, the imagination keen, ambition sweet, and the desire for success the rul­ ing passion, few men had a wider circle of friends, or was more re­ spected in the community where he lived. Being of a sanguine tem­ perament, he was always hopeful and cheerful-ever looking on the bright side of life. He was a gentleman of fine presence, :noble thought, chaste language, broad sympathies, and a warm and gen­ erous heart. He was faithful to those who desired his friendship and influence, in helping them to wider fields of usefulness and th~ more ample comforts of life. In 1874 he was greatly afflicted in the death of his beloved wife, who had been the light of his home and the joy of his heart for thirty-five years. She was as much to him as it was possible for a wife to be to her husband. Indeed, it may be said, without deviating from the truth, that she was all the world to him. In the hours of his grief and loneliness he would stand be­ fore her picture as it hung on the wall and repeat the Bishop of Chichester's eulogy on the death of a beautiful wife, written more than three hundred years ago, the following of which is a stanza:

"Sleep on. my love, in thy co1d bed, Never to be disquieted; My last good-night, thou wilt not wake Till I thy fate shall overtake; Till age, or grief, or sickness must Marry my body to that dust It so much loves, and fill the room My heart keeps empty in thy tomb." 234 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

Writing from Chestnut Hill, Harford County, Maryland, under date of Oct. 20, 1886, Thomas Tredway writes as follows:

Dear Cousin Silas :

You may think I was a long time hunting the information that I was to send you, but I was hunting for records that I could not find. It appears that the record of my grandfather's family has been destroyed or lost. He has only one child living and that is Carvil Tredway of the "Hickory." He is about 78 years of age. He is so old and childish that I can get very little information from him.

James Tredway, of Edward, went to Parkersburg, W. Va., and I think he died there. I have not heard frorri him for 25 years. William and Harry Tredway, of Edward, went to the west a great while ago, I cannot be certain where. John E. Tredway at the Hick­ ory, was my own brother, and Carvil and Wm. 'I'redway in the 7t'h Maryland Regiment were my half brothers. William died there. Carvil went to the west but came back some time ago, and I hear he has settled in Baltimore City. If there is anything in this letter that you do not understand let me know and I will try to explain it to you. Please write to me soon and let me know whether you got this or not and tell me whether you have had any revivals in Washing­ ton or not, as I am too poor to take the Methodist Protestant paper. Bro. Cassen just closed one meeting with nine accessions to the church, and looking for one or two more.

Hoping to hear from you s"oon, I am, as ever, your affectionate cousin-Thos. G. Tredway.

Contributed by W. Jl1. Treadway, of Adaline, Marshall County, TV est Va., letter dated November 28, 1890, My clear cousin: I received your letter rnme time ago, but owing to indisposi­ tion I have not been able to write as I have become very nervous HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

and it is only once in a long time I am able to write at all. Well, I will try and give you a short history of myself and the Tredway family so far as I know.

I am the oldest and the only son now living of William Tred­ way, who was the third son of Edward Tredway. I had two broth­ ers younger than myself, Edward and John Wesley. Edward died in infancy in Harford County, Md. John Wesley, the youngest, died in hospital in 1863. I had seven sisters, three still living. My name is William Magness Tredway, my mother was a Magness. My father and mother both died in Hamilton County, Ohio, in 1842, each aged 5 r.

Henry was the oldest son of Edward Tredway. He came here before my recollection and moved out here and settled on the Big Kanawha near Charlestown, now W. Va. He died with cancer about 1851. He had two sons, William and James. James was in my regiment, 6th West Va. Infantry. He was wounded in a fight at Bulltown and I heard died from the effects. He was about r8 years old and William was the oldest. James Tredway moved to Steubenville, Ohio while I was small. He had three sons and two daughters, namely: John, Thomas, Sylvester and James Patterson; his daughters were Eliza and Susan. John Thomas married ·my sis­ ter. He died in 1852. Sylvester and James went to California in 1848. The last account I had from them they were very rich.

My father came to thts country in 1833 and settled near Bridge­ port, Ohio, opposite Wheeling, where we all lived till 1837. \Ve · moved to Hamilton County, Ohio, near Cincinnati. I lived in Cin­ cinnati until the year 1855 when I came to where I now live. I was blest with only one child, a boy. He was born in 1843. He was go­ ing to school in Cincinnati when the war broke out. He enlisted and was made lieutenant aud put in charge of a colored company, was captured by the enemy and imprisoned in Andersonville, where he died in 1864.

I was born in Harford County, near Hickory, in 1817.

I would like to know what has become of Uncle Thomas's fam­ ily. I met with two of the boys at Roulesburg Md., in 1863, Wm. and Carvil, they belonged to the 2nd Maryland infantry, wrote me several letters during the war, but have heard nothing from them since. Please write and give me all the information you can. Please write soon, don't put it off as long as I have, as my letter is very long, I had better close. Hoping that if we shall not be permitted to meet here that we will meet in a better country, from your friec1d and well wisher-W. M. Tredway. HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

From J. M. Treadway, r5r5 W. rrth St., Little Rock, Ark.

Just received your letter inquiring about our pedigree

I do not know a great deal about our forefathers. My father's name is Chas. Leo Treadway, born August 15, 1864, in this state. His father was born in North Carolina about 1820, was married co a lady whose name was Elizabeth Bailey. His father was named Arthur Treadway and was born some time in latter part of r8th century, presumably 1785 or 1790. As I understand his father was ,ne of three brothers who came over from Ireland. Evidently we are of Irish ancestry or descent. The Treadways are, generally speaking, very skillful workmen in iron and wood. My people were all Yankees although they lived in the South during Civil War. Many of them are gifted in music.

There is a set of Treadways here whom I have never met. I understand they have a better history of our people than my father has. Their name·s are Will Treadway, farmer, living on Route Arch Street Pike; then two brothers here in city. They are in electrical business. I think their names are Theo. Treadway and Lo T.; any­ how the style of their firm is Treadway Electric Co.

As I have been informed three brothers landed in Carolina about time of Revolutionary War and lived there for a number of years, then started west with the great western migration. After getting over as far as Tennessee they separated, one of them going to Texas, one going north -rnto Missouri and one stopping in Arkan­ sas. I be:ong- to branch that later drifted into Arkansas from the eastern states.

Our original name was spelled Treadaway, but the majority of them have eliminated the extra 'a'.

I believe I have told you all I know of our pedigree. If I can help you in any other way I shall be glad to do so.

Your circular of recent elate is at hand and in reply can give you perhaps a little data of our own family and where vou can get a little more. ·

My father is James Taylor Tredway, born April ro, 1849, of La Harpe, Kansas. His father was John Thomas Tredway, died r88r. and John Thomas married Mary Tredway, ( distant cousin.) His brother Sylvester and --- came across the plains to California in 1819. Sylvester had sons, among them George, who was the father of Ward, Loren, Marion and Ralph. Loren is a large stationer in HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 2 45

Ralph, about 53 years old, has a son Ralph, and the James Taylor, had three sisters, Belle Tredway Litelle ( children and brother in Sacramento has a son in Lindsay, in furniture. Father, mother deceased), Alice Tredway Nesbitt ( daughter Maude de­ ceased but Maude's two sons living), son Albert Tredway Nesbitt, vice president of Cincinnati Cordage and Paper Co., of Dayton, 0. one son Donald.

The names Calvin and Sylvester, persisted in same Treadways of Erie, Kansas, some 30 years ago. Possibly this may add to your Ii st.

Biographical Notes on Aunt (Sallie) Tredzi•ay Contributed by the Rev. Silas B. Tredway.

Sarah Tredway, the daughter of Daniel and Sarah (Norris) Tredway, was born in Harford County, Mel., near Bethel Presby­ terian Church, about 1765. At the time of her birth the nurse by accident dropped some hot candle grease in one of her eyes and de­ stroyed its sight. She grew to young womanhood with her broth­ ers and sisters without anything of a special character to give it peculiar interest.

In her maidenhood she became fond of looking after sick people HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

near her father's residence. This interested her in herbs which could be used in healing the diseases prevalent at that period. The loss of one of her eyes through the carelessness of her nurse pre­ vented her doubtless from entering into married life; and as she ad­ vanced in years she became known in all the country side as a corn - petent and successful nurse, and was sent for on all occasions to give aid and counsel in times of extreme illness. Members of the family declare that she had in her possession a crawfish's eye, which she always used in removing from a person's eye any foreign sub­ stance that had by accident gotten into it. One instance is given where she inserted it in the eye of a neighbor who had run a piece of cornstalk under the eyelid while setting up fodder. The foreign substance was pushed to the front of the pupil and easily removed by the hand. A young man in the community having had his hand mangled by being caught in the wheel of the farm wagon, Aunt Sallie Tredway was sent for to assist the physician in its amputa­ tion. When she arrived and looked at the wounded hand she ad­ vised against the doctor's conclusion to amputate, and declared the hand could be saved with proper nursing. The patient was placed in her hands, and in four months, after careful nursing, the hand was almost entirely restored. This cure established her character as a nurse of great capacity and resource which she maintained till the day of her death. After the death of her mother she assumed the care and management of her father's house, all the other children having married and settled in their own homes. As a natural conse­ quence she became a great cook; and Aunt Sallie's home became the storm centre around which all the nephews and nieces gathered when circumstances al'.owed to enjoy the sweet meats which only Aunt Sallie could make.

The men of Maryland in the middle part of the eighteenth cen­ tury laid it down as a settled maxim that "Pewter bright" was the · mark of a good housewife. In.deed the colonial period, particularly the latter part of it might with beooming propriety be called the pewter age. Pewter was getting the better of wood~n ware when America was settled, and it was yielding to porcelain at the era of American independence. At first great wooden platters were made to serve meat in, while the smaller plates for eating were rounded into form on the lathe. But well-to~do people began to use pewter dishes and an ample collection of this ware was always a sign of prosperity. People ate their porridge and their Indian mush from small bowl-shaped pewter porringers, which had handles. There were spoons of pewter, or better of a mixed metal called alchym, but fingers were much more serviceable at the table then than at present. Added to her fine display of pewter ware Aunt Sallie had much fine silver ware in the shape of spoons and other ware, all of which were brought into requisition on proper occasions. She had for her father in his old age a pewter breakfast dish with a double bottom, into which hot water was poured so that his "buck­ wheat cakes" or "Johnny cakes" might be kept warm while being HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 247 eaten. Aunt Sallie was noted throughout the community as a first­ rate housekeeper and was authority on domestic affairs.

On the r rth clay of March, 1835, she had Robert Henderson to write her Will, leaving her property to the following named rela­ tives:

I will and bequeath to Chenoweth Tredway, one feather bed, two pillows and bolster, two counterpanes, one white the other pur­ ple, and one blanket, and 2nd. I give and bequeath unto my nephew, Daniel Tredway, one feather bed, pillows and bolster, one blue and white coverlet, one black and white quilt, two sheets and one blanket and one set of cross-bard curtains. 3rd. I give and bequeath to my nephew Thomas Tredway one blue and white coverlet, several quilts, two pillows and bolster, three sheets and two blankets.

4th. I give and bequeath to my niece, Ruth Tredway ( Cath­ cart) one feather bed and furniture; one set of white curtains, one bureau, all my cupboard furniture and walnut table.

5th. I give and bequeath to Sarah Ann, daughter of Daniel Tredway, one set of silver teaspoons, one small trunk, my saddle and spinning wheel.

6th. Unto my brother, John Tredway, I give and bequeath my silver watch, and after his decease to descend to his son Tohn TreJ­ way. Remainder to be. equally divided between my brother Crispin Tredway, if living at the time of my decease and the children of my brother John Tredway, viz: Chenoweth, Thomas, Daniel, Sarah Tredway (Shaw), Ruth and John in equal shares allowing my brother John above an equal share also.

This will was witnessed by Robert S. Henderson, who wrote the will, and his two sons, Andrew and John B. Henderson. The silver watch referred to in the will descended to her nephew John Tredway, who when he was an old man threw one day by accident into the fire when he was burning brush on his farm, the other sil­ ver is still in the Cathcart Family, but the pewter plates and other furniture have passed away, having served their time.

Aunt Sallie lies buried in what was called "Grandfather's Orchard" (her father) with her brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews, all of whom were dear to her in life, and doubtless are associated in the better life beyond.

Edward Tredway, son of Daniel and Sarah Tredway, was born in Harford County, Maryland, in 1748, where he grew to manhood HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

and spent all of his long and useful life, and where his remains are buried. He reached the stage of manhood in his father's home without any particular incidents to make him different from other young men in the community. He married Nancy Magness and lo­ cated near Dublin in the Fifth District of Harford County, where he raised a family of children and spent a long and happy life with his beloved wife.

He purchased a home and carried on to considerable extent the business of farming all of his life; but being afflicted in one knee he was not able to do heavy work himself. A man of more than ordinary intelligence he was called by his neighbors to fill minor offices of trust in the County, among which was that of crier of the Harford County Court, which he held for about twenty-five years, and in time came to be known as the "limping crier."

His affliction no doubt had very considerable influence upon his disposition, for he was a mild and sweet spirited man in every sense of the word, and always kind and obliging to his neighbors. He died in April 1833, in his 84th year, his wife dying in May 31st 1849, in the 85th year of her age, and are buried together in Har­ ford County, Maryland.

Edward Tredway and the family of Henry Fernandie lay in the Taylor burying ground, which has been ploughed over and culti­ vated.

LAURIS GOLDSMITH TREADWAY

of Williamstown, Massachusetts; Born May 13, 1884.

Among those who have assisted and encouraged the publisher of this genealogy is Lauris Goldsmith Treadway, Proprietor of vVil­ liams Inn, at Williamstown, Mass., who has organized and is oper­ ating a chain of "Real New England Inns." Some one in speaking of him as Managing Director of som~ ten or twelve Hotels, or Inns as they are called, scattered throughout Vermont, Massachusetts and Connecticut, has given the following as a description of the enter­ prise:-

"WHY THERE ARE REAL NEW ENGLAND INNS''

"The 'Real New England Inn' idea was conceived just after the war by L. G. Treadway who had for some years operated the \Vil­ liams Inn. Mr. Treadway experienced great difficulty in getting his small house before the public. Money for a large campaign of ad­ vertising was not available. The location of the Williams Inn, though attractive, was not on the main road and thousands of motor­ ists passed through Williamstown without even seeing it. Eventual­ ly the simple, homelike atmosphere of the Inn, its good food and beautiful flowers were advertised by satisfied guests and other com­ munities sought his guidance. The Ashfield House at Ashfield, Mass., and the Dorset Inn at Dorset, Vermont, were affiliated with the Williams Inn in the summer of 1920. Interchange of guests and employees followed. Soon collective advertising and buying in­ creased business and profits. The Lord Jeffery at Amherst, Mass., and the Middlebury Inn at Middlebury, Vermont, were added and the group was called a chain. Then followed the True Temper Inn at Wallingford, Vermont, and the Mount Holyoke Hotel at South Hadley, Mass. Each new link was kept simple with two positive rules, 'cleanliness and good food.'

"The call for such Inns in many New England communities led to the formation of an organization known as the Consolidated Hotel Service, Inc., which as its name implies combines the architectural beauty of its Inns with practical operating conveniences. This or­ ganization's activity, directed by L. G. Treadway, has built the Nor­ wich Inn at Norwich, Conn., and has let the contract for the Long­ fellow Inn at Pittsfield, Mass., the latter to be the largest and the horr.e office of the 'Real New England Inns.'

"Why the title? The answer is obvious, New England has a historic background and in that background we find Inns-many of them a real credit to the community. The word Tavern brings mem­ ories of the tap room but in some way an Inn conjures up thoughts HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY of good food and comfortable lodgings. The word "real" is defined as "actually existing; genuine; true." So of these New England Inns we use the qualifying prefix "Real." They do not copy the city hotels, they have each an individual character. "Along with the growth of the chain, Mr. Treadway has been training boys and girls, men and women, instilling in them his ideas and perhaps more important still, his philosophy. Every one of his staff knows that he insists on fair treatment of all emp:oyees, good food, clean quarters, fair wages and a chance for advancement. For the guest he insists on a fair deal. He never raises his rates at a rush time, he insists on the old guest having the preference. He is proud of a dining room that shows eighty to ninety per cent repeat­ ers. The philosophy of his life 'Live and let live and try and make all about you live comfortably. He gives his ·grandfather, father, and children with the dates of birth, as follows:~ JOHN TREADWAY, born March 8, 1826; died 1909; married Mary Ellen Herndon 1852. Children:

Gathered from the genealogy already in type and the letters delivered by Lauris Goldsmith Treadway to the publisher of this genealogy, written to John Tredway, grandfather of Lauris Gold­ smith Treadway, we are able to trace his ancestry back to Daniel Tredway, who married Sallie Norris, as follows:

Picking up the history Chapter V. as re-written, page 78, we find printed the delineation of his grandfather, John Tredway, born March 8, 1826, in Ohio and settled in Boston, Mass. His grand­ father, John Treadway, was the second son of John N. Treadway, who married Rebecca McKean, and had ten children of the I 1th generation, starting with the earliest known ancestor in England, Henry Tredway. That put his father Charles B. Tredway, in the 12th generation, born September 6, 185,), while the author was of the 12th generation, born February 12, 1862, a so:i. of Crispin Tred- HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

way, who in turn was a son of Thomas Tredway, who in turn was the son of Crispin Tredway, born in Maryland and migrated and set­ tled and died in Ohio.

While the Rev. Silas B. Tredway has written a chapter of the Maryland branch of the family, there are so many sidelights thrown into his letters addressed apparently to his grandfather, John Tred­ way, that we publish these letters as being contributed by Lauris Goldsmith Treadway. According to the letter of May 24th, 1886, addressed to John Tredway, he says Lauris Goldsmith Tredway's grandfather, Thomas Tredway, and Silas B. Tredway's grandfather, John N. Tredway, were brothers, and sons of Daniel Tredway, who was the son of Thomas Tredway, who was the son of Crispin Tred­ way, who came from Rutland, England, about the year 1700.

This makes it very easy to connect this branch of the family with the branch· belonging to the Rev. Silas B. Tredway, and ·also the branch carrying author's ancestry. Crispin Tredway married Elizabeth Peteet; his brother John N. Tredway married Ruth Pet­ eet, brothers marrying sisters. The father of Crispin and John N. as you noted above was Daniel, and that it is the common ancestry of many in this volume.

Then on page 75, we have: John N. Tredway of the 9th genera­ tion, born September 19, 1769, died February, r8'.)2; married Ruth Peteet and had children: Chenoweth, Thomas P., Daniel, Sarah, Ruth and John N., born November IO, r8IO, married May Basley. Also on page 75, we have the children of Crispin Tredway, my great grandfather given as John, born November 6, 1796, so that this John cannot be the son of Thomas Tredway, born November IO, 1782, who married Julia Gilbert. This Thomas Tredway in turn was the son of Daniel and Sarah Norris Tredway, who married Christina Saunders, so that presuming that the letters which were transmitted to me sent by the Rev. Silas B. Tredway, addressed to his grandfather John Tredway, his great grandfather was John N. Tredway, born February 27, 1795, and his great-great grand­ father would be Thomas Tredway, a son of Daniel and Sarah Nor­ ris Tredway.

Letters of Rev. Silas B. Tredway to John Tredway, Grandfather of Lauris Goldsmith Tredway-

Washington, D. C., April 29, 1886.

JOHN TREADWAY, Esq.-

Perhaps you will think it somewhat curious in receiving a let­ ter from a relative you have never seen. I have be~n corresponding with your brother James with reference to the history of the family and he has referred me to you, thinking you might have something that would be useful in a general way. Your grandfather, Thomas HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 2 53

Tredway, and my grandfather, John N. Tredway, were brothers, and sons of Daniel Tredway, who was the son of Thomas Tredway, who was the son of Crispin Tredway, that came over from Rutland County, England, about the year 1700 and settled in Baltimore, now Harford County, and from whom all of us have sprung. My father, Thomas Tredway, was named for your grandfather Thomas Tred­ way, and your father John N. Tre(a)dway was named for my grandfather John N. Tredway. So you see we are second cousins, though you have an extra (a) in your name that I can't account for, as that is not the original way of spelling it. I receive a great many letters with my name written as· you write yours. I have a written history of the family running back four hundred years which I am somewhat proud of, and my purpose now is to hunt up the history of all the members who are living out of Maryland and make a record of it, for the last hundred and fifty years. Your brother James requested me to write to you, thinking you might have some information that would be useful in making up the history of the family. I wish, therefore, that you would give me the date of your birth, your marriages, and to whom, the names of your child­ ren, and date of births, and deaths if any. Marriages of your child­ ren, if any. Also any other information that you think would be necessary and interesting. Most all the members of the family here are farmers though some of them are lawyers, doctors and ministers. I am a Methodist preacher and have been stationed in this city for some time; I am a member of the Maryland C:onference of the Methodist Protestant Church. I was in Boston a few years since and had I known you were living in the city I should c_ertainly have . called on you and spent some time with you. I would be glad if you would come to Washington and see me. I would take great pleasure in showing you around. If you have any photographs of your family that you can spare, I wish you would send them to :.ne, pasting the name on the back as well as the age and relation to you. I have no small picture, or I would send you one just to show you what a pretty cousin you have in this city.

It is quite a popular name with our people. Sir Robert Tred­ way, who was sheriff of Rutland County, England, in 1623, and made a Knight by favor in 1653, married Alice, daughter of An­ thony Thorald, Esq., of Hough, Lincolnshire, England. They had a daughter named Alice, baptized November 13th, 1606. Then An­ thony Tredway, the oldest son of the above, had a daughter named Alice, born at Hough, August 22nd, 1657. George Tredway had a daughter named Alice, who was born in 15y, and married John Thorald, Esq., third son of Sir William Thoralcl of Hough, Lin­ colnshire. Then you have one and I have one all of the same :1ame; so you see how we stick to family names. I would like very much to have the exact elates of all births and marriages and deaths, so as to be able to make a full and correct chronological table of all the members of the family. I know all the Treclways you have men­ tioned in your letter except those of your uncle Thomas. I am the Alexandria preacher. I was stationed in that city for three years 254 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY and had a very pleasant pastorate. The clerks in the Baltimore Shoe House, and the attorney, John A. Tredway, are sons of Judge William Tredway of Virginia. Judge Tredway has a cousin of his own age, Thomas Tredway, who lives in Richmond, Va. They claim to be the descendants of Moses Tredway, but whether he was the brother of our great grandfather Daniel Tredway, I am as yet unable to say; I will try and find out. The names Thomas, John, Daniel, James, Edward, William, and Robert, are almost too numerous -~o mention. I think I have some seventeen male members that answer to the name of Thomas Tredway. All the family in Maryland and Virginia spell the name with one (a) except Aquila E., ·and his brother Amos, who were in the \Vest awhile.

You say in your letter that all the family are Democrats except yourself. I have never been charged with belonging to that party that I am aware of. I was a member of the Third Maryland Regi­ ment during the war and was badly wounded at the battle of Colcl Harbor June rst, 1864. We charged on a Confederate fort that morning and took it and drove the rebels out, but they cut us to pieces before we did it. I had a member in my congregation at Alexandria who was in the fort when we charged on it, who said he had nearly all his clothes shot off of him; so yot1 see we did some shooting as well as the "Johnnies." You state as to religion that you are a "Unitarian or something else." I reckon you must be "something else." A good many of our boys down here are mem­ bers of that church. It is very much like slavery used to be in the South, "a peculiar institution." In that church a fellow takes re­ ligion like he takes the smallpox, he don't want to have it too bad and don't want it to leave any marks. Now is it not so, Cousin John? Let me know in your next. One of our commancleries of the Ma­ sonic Order here in the city are coming to your city on the 15th of June to celebrate the Battle- of Bunker Hill. One of our ministers is a member and also a gentleman who belongs to my choir. They are trying to get me to go with them and take in the tour. The fare is only twenty dollars, and since the question has been agitated, I have had a hankering desire to visit the "Hub of the Universe" and enjoy myself for two or three days. I have not made up my mind yet as to what I shall do, but if I conclude to come I will write and let you know about it.

Hoping this will find you all well, I remain, Your Cousin,

Washington, D. C., July 5th, 1886.

MY DEAR COUSIN, JOHN TREDWAY:-

I expected to have seen your face before this time, as I fully in­ tended to visit your city on the fifteenth of last month; but the HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 2 55 fates were against me and I had to remain at home with my family. I suppose you saw the Sir Knights as they passed through the city and feasted on Boston's characteristic hospitality. Rev. J. W. Trout, one of our ministers, was along with the commandery, to whom I gave a letter of introduction, but he was sick at the Revere House while the Knights were there, and was not able to call and see you. They came very near bringing him home feet foremost with them, but he is better now and going around.

I hope the day is not far distant when I will have an op­ portunity to visit your city and spend some time with you and your family. Since I received your last letter I have gotten one from your brother James with the old record of your branch of the fam­ ily that was carried west from Maryland; it gives the birth of Charity Treadway, born December 5th, 1778. She is buried at the old family ground at Grandfather's. He sent me quite a list of the old heads, m~ny of which, however, I am able to trace.

Aquila Treadway and his brother Amos are both living in Har­ ford County, Maryland. Aquila is in the nursery and flower busi­ ness and doing well, and Amos is farming. Aquila has one daugh­ ter, Ella. and a son deceased. Amos has three daughters, two mar­ ried, and two sons, one in Florida, and one a physician in Arkansas, both doing well.

There was a first cousin of yours, Thomas Tredway ( see photo page II I), or I should have said a first cousin to your father, he was a son of Crispin Tredway, a brother of your grandfather, Thos. Tredway, that settled in Coshocton County, Ohio, and became very wealthy, owning large tracts of land. He left a large family of sons and daughters that have inherited the land and made for themselves beautiful homes. He died three years ago in the 80th year of his age. He was a man of good character and well thought of through­ out the county and eastern part of Ohio. I was out there some years ago and spent quite a pleasant time with the family. Now let me know when you get that photograph ready, and when I sit, I will send you one of mine in return. I would like to have any picture of the family you can spare as I mentioned before in a previous letter. Now write sometimes and let me hear from you.

Your Cousin, SILAS B. TREDWAY.

500 Va. Avenue, S. E., Washington, D. C.

MY DEAR COUSIN, JOHN TREADWAY:-

I received your second letter a few clays since, and to say that I was glad to receive it would not express all I feel. I thought the Tredway family was very small and few in number, but as my cor- HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY r~spondeqce extends the family likewise grows in proportion until it has assumed an importance that I hardly dreamed of. The branch~s of the family in the West have multiplied exceedingly, so that now they outnumber those in the East. The oldest record I have in this country is the will of John Tredway, the son of Thomas Tredway, who was the son of Crispin Tredway that came over from England about the year 1700. This John Tredway married Sarah Hanson of Harford County and had one daughter Betsey (Eliza­ beth). He had four brothers and one sister, viz: Daniel, William, Moses, Aaron and Mary. Daniel of this family was our great grandfather, and he is buried at the old home place now owned by a cousin of mine, John Thomas Cathcart, the oldest son of father's younger sister. Daniel Tredway's children were five sons and six daughters, viz: Daniel, Thomas (your grandfather), Edward, Cris­ pin and John ( my grandfather) ; girls: Nancy, Susan, Mary, Sally, Hannah, and one I can't find, must have died in infancy. Your grandfather married Julia Gilbert of Harford County, Md., but I don't think she was his first wife as they were married in Jan. 9th, 1806. Like you and myself, he must have made more than one trip to the hymeneal altar. He was in the war of 1812-14, was at the defence of Havre-de-Grace in 1813 when Admiral Cockburn at­ tacked that place, and also at the defence of Baltimore, September 12th, 1814. He was in Captain Henry McAttee's Company of the 42nd. Regiment Maryland State Militia, light horse, commanded by Col. John Street. He died on the 6th of September, 1837. Your father was in the 42nd Regiment of footmen or infantry, Captain Joshua Amos's company, commanded by Col. and Lieut. Col. Turner and Smith. Father was iii the same regiment, Captain Rampley's company. It is strange your father never received a pension; he was certainly entitled to it. I was in the War Department some time since looking up the military record of the family and found ,he payrolls of your father's company, saw where he signed his name; I took a piece of vellum, copied it and brought it home with me. He could have gotten his pension if his agent had pursued the right course. I forget as to whether I told you about father or not in my first letter; he will be 90 years old next July 25th day. He gets his pension regularly.

I received the other day from your brother James at Beards­ town, Illinois, a very old record of your branch of the family. Some of the names I recognize e. g. Charity Tredway is on the record; she was one of the first that was buried at the old family burying ground. The family records have been badly kept, so that it is hard, and in some instances impossible to get the right name in the proper place. I don't know whether I will ever be able to make out a cor­ rect chronological table of the family or not, but will do the best I can with what information I have at my command. You state in your letter that you have a daughter named Alice; I also have a daughter by that name, who will be six years old in June.

The family is scattered abroad in many states, especially in the HISTORY OF 'l'HE TREDWAY FAMILY 2 57

West and Southwest. I have been in correspondence with a great many of them and gathered a great deal of information in regard to the family. So if you will contribute your share I will take it as a great favor. I wish I had the time to give you some of the interest­ ing points in the family history, I think you would be pleased. The family in England belonged to the nobility and had a family Coat of Arms. Richard Tredway was one of the Benchers of the Inner Temple, London, and reader of that society in the 30th and 39th year of Queen Elizabeth's reign. Sir Walter Tredway was a Knight, and also Robert Tredway, who was Sheriff of Rutland County in 1623 and owned Sepringham Manor. His daughter, Cecilia, married Evers Armyne, son of Sir William Armyne, Knight and Lord of Osgotby and Sheriff of Lincolnshire in the 44th year of Queen Elizabeth's reign, and first year of James the 1st.

The Coat of Arms was a silver Argent and chevron in Azure between three trefoils in Vert ( or green). Crest a dexter Hand cut off at the wrist, in Armor proper, holding a sword of the court, gold hilt, and on the point a Turk's IIeacl cut off at the neck proper.

Of course the above does not amount to anything in this Re­ publican country, I only give it· to show you who our ancestors were. Now, my dear cousin, will you write to me and let me hear from you? Hoping soon to hear from you, I remain,

Your affectionate cousin,

CHAPTER XXI

HISTORY OF STUTLEY WEEKS TREDWAY

Stutley Weeks Tredway, the subject of this sketch, owns and operates the Broadmoor Farm, at Saiisburg, Conn. He was born February 20, 1869, at McGregor, Iowa; married February l 1, 1899, to Gracia Katherine Temple, ( born March 4, 1876), daughter of Hiram E. and Jennie Temple Hoard, a niece of ex-Governor Hoard of Wisconsin. He is a wholesale grain dealer, is now ( 1930) and has been for many years engaged in the baking business, associated with the Hathaway Baking Company, with headquarters in Boston, operating a line of bakeries throughout the New England States and in New York State. Prior to his connection with the Hatha­ way Baking Company he was for ten years with the W a~d Baking Company in charge of sales, spending, as he says, many weeks each year in Pittsburgh, where the ·wards are heavily interested.

His home is in SalisburiP Conn., where his family spends the greater part of the year. He has no children. One brother, Ever­ ett Manning Tredway, born December 12, 1870, at Pottsville, Iowa, married February 4, 1899, at Duluth, Minn., Martha Brinkhardt.

Different Tredways have spoken of and referred to "Some Temple· Pedigrees," by Levi Daniel Temple, Boston, Mass., 1900, from which the following very interesting genealogical tables are taken. While in some respects it is a repetition, it is published here as copy to show the ingenuity of arrangement:

Correspondence between Frank Stillman Treadway and the Re11. Silas B. Tredway,

Belair, Md., September 7, r8J7. F. S. TREADWAY, Esq.: Kansas City, Missouri.

My Dear Sir and Brother:-

Your letter of August 27th reached me yesterday through my sister-in-law, Mrs. Mary Tredway of Washington, D. C. In reply I would say that I am preparing a short history of the family which when completed in manuscript, I will publish if I can get the mem­ bers who are interested in the matter t9 purchase enough of the copies to meet, or nearly meet expenses. In the New England Branch to which I am sure you belong, I have completed up to the Revolutionary War with some exceptions where there are "missing links" in direct farpily connections; one of which is yours, it seems.

You doubtless belong to the descendants of Charles Tredway, born in Connecticut in 1747. His father Josiah Tredway married Eunice Foote May the 13th, 1735 in that state, and had thirteen children, nearly all of whom lived to be grown, I have no certain record of this boy's family, though he must have had children. As to the extra (a) in your name I would say that the family like other early families of this country passed through three or four genera­ tions of illiteracy, and the mere spelling of a name was not a sub­ ject of much import at that time. Town Clerks and other record keepers in Church and State spelled the name phonetically, putting in the extra (a) until it became fixed in one branch of the New England Family, of which I presume you belong. Ezekiel Tread­ way, with all of his numerous descendants ( horn June 9, r 762) are associated with the same branch. But everywhere else in England and America the name is spelled Tredway. I will enclose to you a short history of the English Branch in connection with my father's biography, from which we have all descended. I made a mistake of two generations in the sketch which I have clipped. I have records which I have been collecting for many years, in the shape of Fam­ ily Records, State and County Records, Church Records, Pension and War Department Records, Biography sketches and other print­ ed matter, relating to the family history. The Clergyman Treadway your grandmother met was a native of New York. He was an Epis­ copal Clergyman, and died many years ago in his native state. His r2xact connections I am not in r;ossession of, but am seeking by every available means to discover. 2 74 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

As to myself, I would say, that I am one of the many descend­ ants of Richard Tredway, who settled in Maryland (Baltimore County, now Harford County, Md.) in 1698. I am fifty-one years of age, and have been a minister in the Maryland Conference Meth­ odist Protestant Church, twenty six years. The parsonage I live in is very near where Richard Tredway opened his tobacco plantation, built his log cabin in which was born his oldest son Richard, Decem­ ber 8th, 1706; so you see I am still near the old nesting place. You do not know how near I came to the grasp of your hand last May one year ago ( 1896). The General Conference of our Church met in Kansas City, Kansas, and was in session there about two weeks. I procured a directory, found your name and started for your place but was taken sick and had to give it up.

Write to anyone you know named Tredway, or Treadway, and get the direct history of your own immediate family if possible; and I will do the same thing, and may be we can fix your place in the family record to the satisfaction of all concerned. Try and get at the history of your great grandfather and mother, and see if it will not take you back to Charles Tredway, the descendant of Josiah and Eunice (Foote) Tredway. I saw three or four other Treadway names in your city directory which I intended to look up while there, but my time was too limited to do so; I wish you would do it and let me know about it. There are about one hundred and eighty families of English extraction in this country who are registered families, that is families who have a coat of arms and the Tredway family is one of them; a fact of which I am very proud. I have never known of a Tredway to be in prison or to be convicted of any crime, which is remarkable considering the age and size of the family.

Now, will you give me any information you have of any mem­ ber of the family? Dates of marriage, dates of births, names of children, &c, &c. Yours Fraternally,

Address: Belair, Mel. SILAS B. TREDWAY.

N. B.~John Treadway of Boston, a second cousin of mine, spells his name as you do, growing out of the fact that in his young­ er manhood he received a letter from a New Yark Treadway, and he thought that was the original as well as the proper way. S. B. T.

REV. S. B. TREDWAY: Dear Sir, Please note above copy of letter which explains itself. I would suggest that you write Rev. S. B. Tredway, and give any informa­ tion you have relative to the family connections, and advise your connections to do likewise, in order that his history may be as com­ plete as possible, and let us all join him in publishing same, and thus HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 2 75 lighten the expense to all. You can no d.oubt procure a copy of the "Short History of the English Branch" referred to in above letter by applying to Rev. S. B. Tredway. You will find it quite interest­ ing. I will be glad to hear from you with any information that may be of interest, but don't fail to give writer of above letter all the information you have at once I am in favor of encouraging any member of the family who takes enough interest to compile a his­ tory and hope you feel likewise.

My grandfather was Richard Treadway, born Middletown, Conn., 1803; died Alton, Illinois 1837. My father is Charles Cotton Treadway, born New Haven, Conn., 1833, of Kansas City, Mo.

Mrs. Jane M. Williams, 1327 Corcoran St., Washington, D. C. belongs to our branch. You will probably hear from her.

Respectfully,

FRANK STILLMAN TREADWAY, P. 0. Box 86, Kansas City, Missouri.

The followinq interesting letter was written by Aquila E. Treadway to the Rev. Silas B. Tredway, on January 7, 1886, and is reproduced from the original manuscript, showing the interest mani­ fested at that time in the Tredway ( or Treadway) Genealogy.

Havre de Grace, Md., January 7, 1886.

REV. SILAS B. TREDWAY:­ My Friend and Brother:

I received your communication for which I am much indebted to you for your kindness in writing as well as the genealogical his­ tory of the family of which I am a humble member. And will try to answer your questions to the best of my ability.

To the first question: What relation am I to John Treadway who ran a few years ago on the "Greenback" ticket for Congress, my reply is, that it was A. E., not (John) Treadway, who was nom­ inated in Baltimore in 1880 as the "Greenback" candidate for Con­ gress of the second district of Maryland, but declined the nomina­ tion. He is the man now writing this letter. Now, in regard to the branch of the family to which I belong: I am Aquila Edward Treadway. My father was Aquila Treadway (his brothers were Daniel, Edward, Thomas and John N., sisters: Mary, Elizabeth, Sarah and Nancy). Their father was Thomas, son of Daniel Tread­ way, who descended from Crispin Treadway, but I could not cor­ rectly have told how many generations. The said Crispin Treadway HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY having been one of the early settlers in Baltimore (now Harford County), near the head of Bush River. Thomas, ( son of Daniel) Treaclway's oldest son Daniel, went to the far Southwest of that clay in the first or second year of the present century, and when last heard from by his friends was in Tennessee. At the close of the War of the Rebellion, I read of John Treadway in East Ten­ nessee, who performed some daring and very useful service in pilot­ ing escaping prisoners through the rebel country, and fully intended writing to him, but neglected it which I very much regret.

Edward and John N., sons of Thomas (son of Daniel) after serving in the \Var of 1812 ( they and Aquila being defenders of Bal­ timore) made their way westward, and after living a while in Ohio finally settled on the Illinois River; Edward in the Sangamon Bot­ tom where he became one among the prosperous farmers of his

John N. settled in Beardstown, Ill., raised a very large family ( all sons) and died in February 1885 at the advanced age of 91. I had his death published in several of the Harford papers as a "de­ fender of Baltimore."

Thomas Treadway ( son of Daniel) accompanied his sons Ed­ ward and John N. on their westwatd course and died in Ohio about 1818 or 1819. Thomas Treadway ( son of Thomas) lived ancl died a farmer in the fertile valley of Deer Creek, East Harford County. He had six children: three sons and three daughters. He died in 1837 at about 56 years of age. Mary, the oldest daughter of Thomas ( son of Daniel) married Bailey Warren and died in Southern Illi­ nois a little beyond middle age.

Elizabeth married Martin Gilbert, a farmer of Harford Coun­ ty, and died in 1838, her age was 66, leaving a family of seven child­ ren. Sarah married Benjamin Warren and died at an ·advanced age in Menard County, Illinois, leaving a large family.

Nancy married James Anderson and died at an advanced age in Morgan County, Indiana, leaving a large family in good condi­ tion. My father, Aquila Treadway, one of the "Defenders of Balti­ more," married Nancy Anderson, raised a family of nine children (I being the youngest) moved from Harford County, Mel., to Illi­ nois in 1844, his two brothers and one of his sons being there, and died the same year, aged 57 years.

Now, when you ask what relation Thomas Tredway, the local preacher, who died near Belair, was to me I answer that I believe he bore the same relation to me that he did to you-a first cousin to my father. HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 277

I believe my father, Aquila Treadway, was born in York Coun­ ty, Pa., where his father Thomas (of Daniel) owned some proper­ ty. His birth was on April 8, 1787. He married Nancy Anderson of Harford County, Md., in 1809, had nine children as follows:­ Susan, Thomas, Rachel, Martin, Elizabeth, Amos, Mahala, John N. and Aquila E. When I first remember my father he owned a small farm three miles west of Havre de Grate which he sold to his nephew, John N. Gilbert, in 1844; moved west and died the same year. 'There are but two of his children now living: Amos Tread­ way, whose post office is Aberdeen, Harford County, Mel., and my­ se!L None of those of my brothers and sisters that are dead have left any children who are now living. Brother Amos has two sons one a doctor in Arkansas, the other in Florida, and three daughters ( two married and one single) all in Harford County. Aquila Ed­ ward Treadway (your correspondent) was married to Sarah A. Barnes, by Rev. Wm. Finney on June 14, 1855. We have one daughter (Ellen) living and have buried a son.

I see you use bu.tone (a) in writing your name, which is jw;t as my father wrote his at an early clay, but as most of my relations used two ( a' s) I also added the extra one.

Now my dear sir and brother, as this interesting correspondence is begun, I hope we shall become better acquainted with each other and learn still more of each other and the Tredway record. It will afford me great pleasure for you to visit me and interchange such information as we each may possess.

Hoping to hear from you soon, I remain, your brother,

Biographical Sketch of Edward Tredway Monks, born June 16, 183r

Edward Tredway Monks, a native of Harford County and one of its life long residents, was deeply interested in all enterprises· having for their object the promotion of local welfare and the ad­ vancement of the people. Probably no citizen of Kalmia has clone more than he for the development of its material rernurces and the enlargement of its business interests. In 1867 he purchased pro­ perty in this village and the following year opened a general mer­ cantile store, beginning upon a very small scale, but gradually in­ creasing his stock of goods as the demand justified. His store is now the largest in the place, and he has a profitable trade among the veo­ p 1e in this ;:iart of the county. Near his present place of residence Edward Tredway Monks was born June 16, 1831, being the son of James P. and Mary Amelia (Tredway) Monks. His grandfather, John Monks, was born in England, whence he emigrated to the Uni­ ted States and settled in Abington, Md., opening a ::.nerc:mtile store. HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

He was also a large landowner and gave a good deal of attention to farming; in these occupations he was engaged during the remain­ ing years of his life. James P. was also an agriculturist, and re­ mained a resident of district No. 3 until his death, which occurred in 1873, at the age of 73 His wife passed away when 76 years of age. Of his sixteen children, five are now living namely: Edward Tredway, William, who resides at Gibson, Dis. No. 3; Cassandra of Baltimore; Addie, wife of Wm. S. Smith. and Eliza, widow of Thomas L. Grier. At the age of eighteen Edward T. Monks left school and began to learn the hoopmaker's trade, which he followed for ten years. With a desire to enter an occupation more remunera­ tive, in 1865 he succeeded John Edward Tredway as proprietor of a general store, which he conducted for two years, and then bought property and put up the building which he now occupies at Kalmia. He lends his influence to the advancement of all local measures, and in poiltics gives his vote in favor of the Republican party. In re­ ligious belief he is identified with the Mount Tabor Methodist Prot­ estant Church, in which he is a trustee, and has held various other positions of trust and honor. In the selection of a helpmate he was particularly fortunate, his wife being a lady who looked well to the ways of her household and those little details that have so much to do with the happiness of a home. Mrs. Monks was, prior to her marriage in 1866, Ellen C. Tredway (his cousin) and the family from which she is descended is among the oldest of Harford Coun­ ty. Her death occurred August 21st, 1879. Mr. Monks has two daughters, one of whom, Amy D., married William D. Jones, of Forest Hill Md., April 28th, 1897; and the other Sallie A., is the wife of Harry E. Harkins of Kalmia, Md.

Autobiographical Sketch of Resin H. Tredway, son of Thomas Tredway ( see page roo), Giving Activities in Civil War.

Roscoe, Ohio, }\/[arch 3, 1888.

I was born September 2, 1832, in Jefferson Township, Coshoc­ ton County, Ohio, being the oldest son of Thomas and Olive Sev­ erns Tredway. I remained on the farm with my father until April r ~, 1858, when I went to the State of Illinois, Winnebago County, also over in Wisconsin. October 15th I went to Fayette County, from thence to Shelby County, from there to Coles County, of same state, where on Aug. r. 1862, I volunteered in Co. I of 123rd Ill Vol. Inf., landed at Louisville, Ky., two days before Gen. Jeff Davis shot Gen. Nelson and was present at his funeral. I was in the Perrysville Battle on the 8th of September, 1862; was also at the Battle of Mil­ ton Heights in the following March. Our regiment was mounted on horseback and called mounted infantry, and was commanded by Co1onel Wilder of the r7th Indiana Inf., that is Colonel Wilder com­ manded the Brigade, and was known throughout the whole army HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

of the town as Wilder's Brigade. vVe were armed with Spencer re­ peating rifles. I was engaged in the following battles: Perrysville, Milton Heights, Covers Gap, Chickamaugua, Mission Ridge, Look­ out Mountain, Kingston, Rasaka, Kenishaw Mountain, Atlanta, Ga., Franklin, and Nash ville. I was engaged in the three years over 60 times considering skirmishes, and strange to say never received any serious injury as being wounded, nor was ever taken prisoner. vVe never were left sick at a hospital, nor missed any duty. Our com­ pany numbered 98 men when mustered in and when we were dis­ charged there were only 26 men mustered out, six discharged for disability during the war; the rest were all dead.

I had the satisfaction of seeing old Jeff Davis and family after he was captured. Our Brigade has fought John Morgan a great many times, and one of our command finally killed him at last on the 4th of July, 1864. Our Brigade was sent to Big Shantz, Ga., where Andrews stole the train oi cars from Fowler. We were the first Yankees that had ever reached there, and they weren't looking for us. They had a great dinner on the table for the rebel officers. Our battalion threw a shell through the building. The inmates all fled and then our column came up. Some of our men ran in the building and carried off the dinner.

After the war was over we were taken back to Springfield, Ill., and were discharged on 1J.he rst of July, 1865. I reached home on the 16th of the same month and found many friends ready to wel­ come me back to the place of my birth and boyhood days.

In September 1866, I was married to Miss Mary E. Welling, of \Vest Bedford, Bedford Township, Coshocton County, Ohio, and moved into Jackson Township of same county in 1876. I bought and moved near Roscoe where we now live. Our union was blessed with three children, two daughters and one son, namely: Olive R., Effie V. and Armor T.

I will just here state I met a Captain Tredway in 1862 belong­ ing to some Kentucky regiment, but I don't kn9w what one; neither could I tell anything about him for it was one of the darkest nights I ever saw and I never met him again, but I know he belonged to a Kentucky regiment. We had a man by the name of Tredway in Company H of our Regiment, 123rd Illinois, but he was no relation of ours, didn't spell his name like ours., spelled it Treadaway. I also corresponded with a George Tredway in Indiana. His address was East Germantown, Indiana, but I haven't written to him or ever heard from him since the war. He also had a brother some where in Virginia. I believe I have written all necessary. I didn't know how much y_ou _wanted, but you can take what you choose. I, will close by s1gmng my name, RESIN H. TREDWAY. HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

Sketch of Lawson Tredway, by the Rev. Silas B. Tredway-

Lawson Tredway was the older son and fourth child of Thomas and Julia (Gilbert) Tredway of Harford County, Md. He was born in 1813 and spent the most of his life in Harford County, Md. and followed the business of farming and fishing; his home being near the fishing grounds of the Susquehanna River and the upper Chesapeake Bay. Being unmarried he made his home with his mother as long as she lived and then kept Bachelor's Hall, more or less the remainder of his life. He was what might be called a neighborhood character and was hail fellow well met with all with whom he came in contact. He had strong social qualities, which in time developed convivial habits that were not always of the most complimentary to him, or those with whom he associated at such times. But drinking was so common in his day that little was thought of it. He was kind and neighborly, and generous to a fault, and always ready to aid those who needed his assistance. 'In the spring of the year he spent much of his time on the fishing shore when shad and herring were running, either fishing for himself, or managing someone else's fishing shore. He had a habit of making puns and rhymes upon his friends, and sometimes upon himself. He went over the Susquehanna River to Port Deposit on one occa­ sion to see a steamboat come in from Baltimore which had just been put on the line; and being somewhat intoxicated he fell into the river. His friends soon fished him out and started with him to the hotel. On his way up he made the following rhyme on himself :

"I went do~n to the steamboat wharf, To see what I could see, And who do you think fell overboard. Why nobody else but me."

It is said that in his extravagant conversation he sometimes said more than could be vouched for, by either himself, or friends. But as fishermen and poet(?) have great license in point of utterance, I suppose he felt perfectly safe in drawing on his imagination to the fullest extent of its ;i.bility whenever the spell was on him. He died in December 1886, and is buried in Harford County, near Havre-de- Grace, Mel. ·

Lcttrrs to the Rev. Silas B. Tredway from Arthur Tredway, of Detroit- Detroit, Mich., March 19, 1888. De2r Sir:-

Your favor of the 13th inst. is to hand, as a1so the previous letter to whi~h you refer. My 1.1e~lect to answer the latter vou will please excuse for the rPason that I was not prepared to answer at the time. and it was laid aside and has since been overlooked. My father, Stephen Tredway, was the rnn of Arthur Tredway who HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

named me after himself shortly before he died in Beaco:isfield, Buckinghamshire, England. Though I am not posted in regard to our ancestry farther back, I have been given to understand that they were from some part of Wales. I will write at once to an elder brother who is living in Chicago who, I think, has traced our history, but on which sid,e of our family I do not know. As soon as I receive a reply from him I will communicate with yon further. It will afford me very much pleasure to meet you on your way to or from Adrian, where I have a sister now living. Her name is \i\Tillber, the wife of Charles Willber of that place, who is the youngest member of ,our family. Another sister is living here. My oldest brother died in Chester, New Jersey, a year and a half ago, leaving a large family, whose families with my wife numbered thirty-four, who joined in a picnic two years ago to Budd's Lake, N. J. Very truly yours, ARTHUR TREDWAY.

Detroit, Mich., March 27, 1888. Dear Sir:-

I enclose a paper which my brother in Chicago appears to be editing; this is a new Dole with him. From the particulars you give in your last letter I have become a good deal interested in our ,family history. There existed in the mind of my Aunt Nancy an impression that some property rightfully belonged to our family which was several times expressed as my sister informs me prob­ ably through the John Tredway you name who married the daugh­ ter -of Edmund Waller whose monument in the church yard at Beaconsfield I well remember as being the largest there. They for­ merly occupied an estate there called Little Hall Barn adjoining a very fine and large park and mansion occupied in my early child­ hood by Sir Gore Ousley, Bart. I hope to be able this Fall to get out of business and go to England and stay long enough to look around and hunt up some matters of interest. I have askecl my brother for any information in his possession relating to onr ancestry and will forward it to you as soon as received with thanks for what you have given, I remain, yours very truly, ARTHUR TREDWAY.

Detroit, Mich., April 17, 1888 Dear Sir:-

I found the copy of my birth yesterday, which is registered in the Registry of Births kept at Dr. Williams' Library, Red Cross Street, Cripplegate, London. England. I have no doubt through this source you can get at the complete history. It will, of course, cost something to get at it. I will cheerfully bear my share of the ex­ pense. Photo later.

Hazleton, Indiana, February 19, 1888. Dear Sir:-

I will try to give you my history as best I know. I was born June 30, 1848, in the State of Ohio, Coshocton County, Jefferso:1 Township. I resided with my father until 1869, October g. Then I went to Coshocton; there I worked at plastering trade till 1870. I was married March 17, 1870, to Elvina Dickerson, by Rev. E. Hunt, Presbyterian minister. 'Then we moved to Coshocton on the rst of May. I worked at Orange on a bridge crossing the Muskin­ gum River in Muskingum County until August r.

My wife and I moved to my father's in Jefferson Township. There we remained till September IO. Then we moved on a farm owned by my grandfather, at his death, in Jackson Township. There we resided till April I, 1873. On May 16, 1872, was born to us a daughter which was named Thurza Maud Tredway. Then we moved seven miles west on a farm of my own in Perry Township, two miles southwest of West Bedford, one mile and a half north of West Carlisle on Dusty Bottom. There I resided, farmed and hand­ led fine sheep until August 20, 1882. Then moved to Dresden, in Muskingum County, August 24. :rhere I ran a carriage shop until September r, 1883. During the year of 1882. November 18, a son was born to us who was named Charley Ebert Tredway. I movecl from Dresden, Ohio, to a small town on Evansville and Terre Haute railroad, named Enrison, Busseron Township, Knox County, Indiana, where I was engaged in the grocery business and farming till August 5, 1885. Then I moved from Enrison to Hazleton, White River Township, Gibson County, Indiana, where I was engaged in keeping a hotel and drug store. I moved from hotel on a farm of my own at the east side of Hazleton, now owning 160 acres of land. This is the history of myself and family, as well as I can recollect. This leaves us all well; hoping to hear from you. When you get the history completed I would like to have one of them Yours re­ spectfully, THOMAS FRANKLIN TREDWAY.

Letter from P. H. Tredway, Pulaski County, Ark., to the Rev. Silas B. Tredway, under date of January 24, 1887 :-

Parker's Store, Pulaski County, Ark., January 24, 1887 Dear Cousin:- I received your welcome letter in clue time and would have written you sooner but thought I would take my family to Little HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

Rock ( 12 miles distant) and have the photographs taken you asked for. But owing to bad weather and bad roads I have been unable so far to comply with your request. I was in Little Rock last week and saw Leon and Theodore Treadway. They appear as very clever men, as all the Treadways are. It was the first time I ever met them although I had heard of them for some time, and Leon had sent me several invitations to visit him (by my teamsters of whom he often bought marketing), not knowing we were any relation. I did not see their father. As per request, my wife's maiden name was Elizabeth Sowell. She married a man first by the name of John H. Heflin. He died December 1868. We were married November 8, 1871. Our children are:

Oscar Amos, born September 30, 1872. William Henry, born August 8, 1874. Lewis Patterson, born July 14, 1876. Maggie Elizabeth, born July 31, 1878. Roscoe Conklin, born June 20, 1880. Alfred Elsberry, born August 30, 1883. Thomas Renvill, born July 12, 1885.

Oscar Amos died Sept. 30, 1874; Maggie Elizabeth died Feb. 27, 1879. My wife had two daughters by her first husband, but I suppose their name and elate of birth would be of no use to you. I believe I have now complied with your request in regards to mar­ riage and births. Any other information I can give you that you need will be gladly given. The photographs I will send you some time next summer. Should you ever visit Little Rock I would be glad you would come and see me. Write me and I will send for you.

This is a very poor country, that is the uplands, but quite easy to make a living in. I have quite an extensive country practice here but don't accumulate wealth very fast. This is comparatively a new country and too much must not be expected and I might _say only 22 years old, for according to information we hear they all took an even start at the close of the war.

I suppose when you get your register complete you will have copies of it for sale. I would like to get one from you. I will now close. Hoping to hear from you again, respectfully,

P. H. TREADWAY.

Joseph Tredway by occupation is a farmer. has lived on a farm all his life on the farm which he now owns. It was purchased by his father 'Thomas Tredway from Col. William Simmons Dec. 8, 1824 at $3.50 per acre, 160 acres of it. Ninety six and one-half acres of it were purchased by Thomas Tredway of William Fairall at $12.00 per acre. Another piece, ,<8 acres, of David Little at $8.o:::i per acre. There was not a tree a mile on the home tract when Thomas Tredway purchased it. Joseph Tredway has lived on a farm all his life, except four months he served in the Union Army in Con::pany G, 142nd Regiment 0. N. G. under Wm. C. Cooper, Colonel, commanding regiment; Captain Caleb Wheeler command­ ing company; Dr David Lausen, first lieutenant; Solomon McNab, second lieutenant. When discharged he returned to his home where he now lives and has been engaged in stock raising and farming.

Mary Wilhelmina Clark Tredway was born in Bethlehem Township, Coshocton County. Ohio, May 5th, 1844. She attended school at a district school until it became necessary for her to take an academic course, which she did at Spring Mountain and \Vest Bedford, after which she taught eight terms of school successfully and was married at the age of 24 years.

\Vhen Thomas Tredway moved on the farm now owned by Joseph Tredway there were no roads in or near his neighborhood. There were bridle paths ( these were paths to travel on horseback over hills and hollows and logs). There was no grist mill nearer than Hollersters, now known as Green Valley mill, and Robert Dar- HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY ling's old mill that stood near the Darling grave yard on Darling's Run. Their nearest wheat market was Zanesville. The farmers would haul their wheat there and bring back their salt. They could not get salt any nearer. Sawmills were scarce. Warsaw was the nearest. At that place the old mill belonged to C. Stromes. Thomas Tredway would haul his sawlogs to Warsaw in the winter time on a log sled and ford the river. Sometimes the river would be full of slush ice. When the team was driven into the water the sled and logs would turn over, then Thomas Tredway would get off his horse and turn the sled and logs back and hold the sled right side up while a young man by name of Louis ArnolcL.would drive the team across the river. He would continue to haul logs all day with hi~ wet clothes on.

Thomas Tredway was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church 42 years, living a consistent member by being a member at the organization of the Mohawk Valley church. When the church was built his subscription was as large as any member of the church, it being from $80.00 to $100.00. He was a regular attender of church until one year before his death when his health failed him, so he was not able to be away from home. When he died he died in full triumph of living faith.

Dear Sir:-

Your favor of February 6th received, was greatly interested in it I have written out what information I have of our immediate family. You will see that it does not correspond entirely w;th yours.

I have a few other facts about the family in Virginia, but am not sure that they are reliable and if you could communicate with them in regard to it, it would probably be more satisfactory. We have very little knowledge of our name in Virginia. In fact only hear from there through one cousin, Miss Nanrne Tredway of Rich­ mond. She could give you more information than anyone else, and it would be reliable. If I can be of any service to you in your work I shall be glad to have you call upon me at any time. I should like very much to meet your friend, but am a very busy woman most of the time and make few new acquaintances. I should like to see a short history ,of the English branch you refer to if it isn't troubling you too much to ask you to send it. Yours very sincerely,

Thomas Treadwell lived in England in the latter years of the sixteenth and early years of the seventeenth century. He was an innkeeper. His son, Thomas Treadwell, emigrated to Massachus­ etts or one of the northern provinces when he was a boy in the year 1712 or 1715. He came with an uncle who married soon af­ terward and the nephew took the name Tredway, went to Maryland, married twice, left four sons and probably a daughter, and died aged about 85.

It is said by tradition in the family that this youngster came over to inherit his bachelor uncle's large estate; that the uncle mar­ ried a young wife who proved prolific of heirs and the disgusted heir expectant left the uncle and changed his name from Treadwell to 'Tredway. An old Englishman. one Debbs Smith, who had served the innkeeper Thomas Treadwell in England, came over and lived with this Thomas Treadwell ( alias Tredway) in Maryland until the lattFr's death. Debbs then came to Manchester, Va., and spent the remainder of his life in the service of Moses Tree.way, son of the one he had lived with in Maryland.

The sec-and son of Moses Tredway was Moses Tredway, born September 1778. He married first Patsy Booker of Cumberland County, Va., they had the following children :-Wm. M. Tredway, of Pittslyvania, a lawyer of distinction, ( 2) Thomas Hopkins Tred­ way, who married and lived in Tennessee, (3) Mary Miles Tred­ way, (4) John Tredway.

Moses Tredway, after the death of his wife Patsy, married Elizabeth Guerrant, daughter of Gen. Jol).n Guerrant of Goochland County, Va. Of this union were born (1) John Guerrant Tred­ way, (2) Sarah 'Tredway, (3) Moses Edward Tredway, (4) Eliza­ beth Heath Tredway, (5) Evelina Winifred Tredway, (6) Harriet D. Tredway.

John Guerrant Tredway, son of Moses and Elizabeth Guerrant Tredway, was born July 18, 1818, in Prince Edward County, Va.; was eciucated in Hampden Sidney College, Va., and studied law. He married and had one son, Edward Carle Tredway, a lawyer of Em­ poria, Va., at the present time. Shortly after the birth of this son, the mother died. John G. Tredway then left Virginia and settled in Missouri where in 1851 he married Elizabeth Sears, daughter of Joseph Sears of Fayette, Howard County, Mo. They had the fol­ lowing children :

JESSIE M. TREDWAY.

Biographical Sketcli-of Thomas Tredway, as written by the Rev. Silas B. Tredway-

Thomas Tredway was the third son of Josiah Tredway, of Watertown, Mass., and was born in that town about 1679. With his elder brother Richard he left New England about 1700, emi­ grating to the South and settled in Baltimore (now Harford) Coun­ ty, Maryland. He opened a tobacco plantation on the upper Chesa­ peake Bay on the Gunpowder River, near the place where the town of Joppa was soon after laid out and established; but which has long since become extinct as a town and port of entry; Baltimore City on the Patapsco River having absorbed all of its interests. The country then to a very great extent was a dense forest with here and there a hardy settler, who with plow and oxen, axe and mat­ tock, h;id opened for himself and family a plantation for the grow­ ing of tobacco and Indian corn, the staple crops for the people at that time. Besides the agricultural resources were the fish, oysters and wild fowl in abundance in the nearby waters, saying nothing cf the plentiful supply of game which the forest afforded and which could be taken at any time with dog and gun.

He was a man of quiet disposition and temperament and op­ posed to anything like personal notoriety among his neighbors, and yet his kindness of heart very much occupied the thought of the 288 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

community about him. He was somewhat given to thoughtfulness and introspection, particularly on religious subjects.

On the 22nd of August, 1753, he was admitted a member of the Gunpowder Monthly Meeting of the Society of Friends, and was faithful to the Society until the day of his death.

Thomas Tredway was married three times and outlived all of his wives. His first wife was Ann --, by whom he had two child­ -? ren Daniel and Mary. He then married Mary Ball in 1734 and had ~ •1 i ' by her Fl-¥@- children: John, Crispin, William, Martin, Aaron and '7 Moses. The mother of these children then passed away, but no record can be found which will furnish the date or circumstances of her death; doubtless her remains were interred with those of his first wife in the family burying ground. Having raised his child­ ren and being in advanced life he gave up the business of farming and "kept tavern" in Long Green Valley, Baltimore County, not far from where his son Daniel lived. Here in his old age he married Mrs. Mary Gittings January 26th, 1761, with whom he lived very happily for a number of years. Being a widow of considerable pro­ perty, and preceding him to the grave she kindly remembered him in her will. She died December the nth, 1782, and was buried in Long Green Valley, Baltimore County, Maryland, in the Gittings Family Burying Ground. When the Revolutionary \i\Tar broke out he sided with England or rather opposed the war on account of his religious convictions, but after the termination of that momentous and historic conflict he g;i,ve his earnest support to the new govern­ ment. He died in 1783 at the residence of his oldest son, Daniel Tredway, in extreme old age, having made his will the year prev­ ious, and his ashes rest in the Old Tredway Graveyard at Madonna, Harford County, Maryland, the property now (1899) being in the hands of his great, great grandson, John Thomas Cathcart, oldest son of Ruth Tredway Cathcart.

Biographical Sketch of Richard Tredway-

Richard Tredway, second son of Josiah Tredway, was born about 1677 in Watertown, Mass. He with his younger brother Thomas emigrated to the South and settled in Baltimore (now Har­ ford) County, Province of Maryland in 1700. Be is the first man of the name who lived in the State. Family tradition, family rec­ ords, church records, court records, all point to him and his brother Thomas as the ancestors of the family in the State of Maryland; and from these two fathers have descended all the members of the Tredway Family who belong to the Southern branch of the family. Like his neighbors he was a tobacco planter and grew tobacco and Indian corn as the staple crops of that period. He doub.tless suc­ ceeded in agricultural pursuits as he followed it all of his life. In­ deed there was little else to do in the way of a livelihood, except HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY that of "following the water." A copy of an interesting document taken by the writer from the Supreme Court Records of Baltimore City shows the manner of farming, and the methods of business in the early history of the Province of Maryland. The following is the Instrument of Writing:

KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, That I Richard Tred­ way of Baltimore County in the Province of Maryland, Planter, for and in consideration of the sum or quantity of six hundred and seventy seven pounds of tobacco, and six barrels of Indian corn justly clue and owing unto Aquila Paca of the County aforesaid, have bargained sold made over and delivered unto said Aquila Paca, all my share or third part of tobacco, and fourth part of the corn which I made on the said Aquila Paca's Forest Quarter, with the assistance of his two negroes in the year r 736, which is still re­ maining on the said Plantation; all of which share or one third of tobacco and one fourth of corn as aforesaid is my own right; and is not transferred or disposed of to any other person whatsoever, but do hereby for myself, my heirs, executors and assigns make over, transfer and deliver unto the said Aquila Paca, his heirs and assigns, all my right title claim and interest of and to my assigns share of tobacco and corn above mentioned and to and for the proper use and benefit and advantage of him the said Aquila Paca, his heirs and assigns forever and do hereby for myself, my heirs and warrant and defend aforesaid tobacco and corn and every part thereof from all manner of persons whatsoever pretending any right or claim thereto as Witness my hand and seal this second day of November Anno Domini 1736. Richard R. Tredway (Seal) Signed in presence of Sarah \Nhetcome and Edward Sanner.

He married a Miss Parker about 1704 or 1705, and had the fol- lowing named children :-

Richard Tredway, Jr., born December the 8th, 1706. Mary Tredway, born January the 12th, 1709. Thomas Tredway, born March the 6th, 171 r; and Jane Tredway, born --, and departed this life January the 15th, 1720.

All of these children with their parents were doubtless buried at Michaelsville when the old Spesutia Church was located there, or at St. John's Parish Church in the old town of Joppa.

Descendants of Amos Tredway and Elizabeth Blake, as Delineated in a letter in the effects of the Rev. Silas B: Tredway.

My grandfather, Amos Tredway, and Elizabeth Blake were married in Colchester, Cqnn., June 16th, 1760. The.following is a list of their children:- HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

My great grandfather, Josiah Treadway, born 1707, married Eunice Foote May 13, 1735. She died October 22, 1801, and Josiah died May 16, 1790. Amos, their son, born February 19, 1738, mar­ ried Elizabeth Blake January 16, 1760, who died in Middletown on December 17, 1814. The following are their children:

Plumb. They had six children: Frederick, Marvin, Joseph, Augus­ tus, David, Mary, Ellen and Elizabeth. This family mostly settled in Arkansas. They were all born near Middletown, Conn.

3 Henry L. Ward married for his first wife Harriet, daugh­ ter of Seth and Lucretia Wetman. She died March 1, 1823. His second wife was Mary, daughter of Na than and Mary Starr. They both lived to advanced years and died without children.

4 Belinda Ward married December 26, 1816 Henry, son of Seth and Phebe Paddock and had three children: Elizabeth, Edward and Sarah Jane. Edward married and died, having one daughter. The daughter never married. They all lived in Middletown, Conn.

5 Merrels Ward married Mariah, daughter of Calvin and Ubiah Johnson, had five children: Louden Bailey, Jane, Harriet, Frances, Amelia, Austin Merrels.

6 Harvey Ward married Electa, daughter of Eleazer and Mary Roberts, had one son and four daughters: William, Chauncey, Sarah, Elizabeth, Almira, Maria. This family settled in Newfield. near Middletown, Conn., and all died there. I think one or two of the daughters are still living there unmarried.

7 Susan Ward married John L. Smith, son of John and Jen­ net Smith, on November 20, 1823. They had four daughters: Caro­ line, Ellen, Susan, ind Mary. Caroline Smith married Daniel M. Chase of Middletown and had four sons and three daughters: Henry Smith, John, Elizabeth, Emma, Minnie, Allen and Daniel, all hap­ pily married and well settled, most of them in Middletown. Ellen Smith married Rev. C. A. G. Brigham, Congregational minister, settled in Enfield, Connecticut, had three children. One daughter died in infancy. Two sons, Charles and William, married and set­ tled in Hartford, Conn. Ellen died early. Mr. Brigham married Susan Smith who has no children. Mr. Brigham died in October, 1897. Mary Smith married a Mr. Fanston of New York and died c;,rly without children

8 Chauncey Ward married Caroline Lord of Bridgeport, Ct., had ten children, all died quite young. Two lived to early manhood but are all gone. They settled and lived in Bridgeport, Conn.

This family of brothers and sisters all lived to a good old age, except Betsey. No death occurred among them for more than fifty years as was stated at the funeral of Belinda, Mrs. Paddock.

Accompanying this I send you the record of my aunt, my father's sister, Clarissa Treadway Sill, which her grandson has just sent me. I will send it all to you and you can use what you can of it. HISTORY OF TI-IE TREDWAY FAMILY

You have the record of my father's family as far as I have been able to collect it, and I hope you will be able to make it avail­ able.

Abigail Treadway, born February 2, 1766, married John Wil­ liams, date lost. They had three children, so far as known. Julia married a Mr. Bishop of New Haven, Conn., and had four daugh­ ters and one son :

I Mary Bishop, born in New Haven 1822, married J.M. Man­ ney of St. Louis, Mo; had five children-three daughters, two died young, and two sons

2 Charles Bishop, born in New Haven, Conn, 1823, was in the Navy during the Civil War, served on board the "Cumberland" and went clown with her in that terrible struggle.

3 Sarah Bishop, born in New Haven, Conn., in 1825, married Elsworth Goodyear in 1850. Has quite a family, but all married and scattered, difficult to collect data.

4 Julia Bishop, born in New Haven, Conn., 1827, marrie.1 a Mr. Butler in 1852. (no children).

5 Jane Bishop, born in New Haven, Conn., 1829, married a Mr. Bradley in 1860; living in Chicago, has two children, a daugh­ ter married there.

John Williams lived in Plymouth. Conn., had a daughter who married a Mr. Gordon, who lived in Sharon, Conn.

Belinda Williams married Daniel Gilbert of Sharon and lived there.

I think Rev. Mr. Tredway may have the record of Elijah Treaclway's family through Miss Nellie Lawton, who is a grand­ daughter of Elijah, and I think has been in correspondence with Mr. Treadway and much interested in the subject.

Seth Treadway married and died many years ago. I only know he had one son, Rev. Amos C. Treadway, whose record with that of his sister, Mrs. Emily Hamilton, I sent you some time since and I thought you might hear more of them from Mrs Sidney Adams, of Washington, D. C.

Richard Treadway, born Jan. 28, 1768, died March 23, 1797.

Polly Treadway, born September 16, 1769, married a Mr. But­ ler and had three daughters: Clarissa, Harriet and Mary.

Clarissa maarried Stephen Taylor in Middletown; had three HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 2 93 sons and four daughters: Mary Ann, Harriet, James, Fanny, Ed­ ward, Joseph and Helen.

Mary Ann Taylor married a Mr. Shepherd, a druggist of Mid­ dletown. Later they went to New Orleans, La., where their eld­ est son, Edward J .. is a practicing physi6an at present (1898). They had another son, I am not quite sure of his present location.

Harriet Taylor married William A. Camp of Middletown, Conn., about 1850. They have one so:1, now living in New York, where Mr. Camp died in 1895.

James Taylor married a Miss Daniels and settled in Middle­ town some years since. Fanny Taylor unmarried. Helen Tay­ lor unmarried, living with Mrs. Camp in New York. Edward and Joseph Taylor were living in Boston the last I knew of them in the 2ixties.

Harriet Butler married John Pratt, had one son and three daughters: John, Mary, Harriet and Clara. John died in early man­ hood not married. Mary married Albert Stoughton of Windsor, Conn., and had two daughters. Harriet and Clara never married, living in Middletown.

Mary Butler married \Nyland Hill, lived in Catskill, N. Y., had several children. I have no means of reaching them for further information. I have written to some members of the family but got no reply. When I do I will forward.

Biographical Sketch of Thomas Tredway, by the Rev. R. Scott Norris, of Belair, Md., Nm_iember 6th, 1863. Copied from the Methodist Protestant. ·

Died at his residence. near the Hickory, Harford County, Md., on the 30th day of September last, Thomas Tredway, in the 19th year of his age. His disease was typhoid fever, supposed to have been contracted at one of the military hospitals of this State, whither he went to see his sick son William. who has since died. Bro. Tredway had been a member of the Christian Church for nearly 40 years, a short time in the Baptist denomination. by whom he had been reared up, and under whose influence he had bee:i converted; a few years in the Methodist Episcopal Church; and from the elate of the rise of the Methodist Protestant Church to the time of his death, a member of that communion.

He was an unstationecl deacon or local minister, and attached to the Quarterly Conference of Deer Creek Circuit, within whose bounds he rendered faithful service and assistance to the pastors in charge. He was ordained at the Conference of 1841, and from that 2 94 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY time until the year 1844 he exercised himself with great zeal in the good work, and many no doubt, were brought to the Saviour through his instrumentality. At this period his health failed him, consequent­ ly a suspension of active labors in the Church; though he seems tc, have been ready to lend a helping hand in every way possible.

His health was never fully regained, consequently, the closing years of his life were spent rather as a private member of the church, and in this capacity he could do little more than contribute of his means to her support, and when called upon unite his coun­ cil with that of his brethren. Bro. Tredway had been married the third time, been blessed with fifteen children, nine of whom are still living, and all that are sufficiently advanced in years, if I mistake not, are members of the Church. He was a cheerful donor of the ground upon which Mt. Tabor Methodist Protestant Church now stands and (1864) is in course of erection and manifested the liveliest interest in its success to the last. His sleeping dust was the first deposit in the new cemetery. His end, as might have been ex­ pected, was calm and peaceful.·

He seems to have had a certain premonition of his last illness. He made the writer the bearer of a message to his brethren of the Church saying "that the religion of Jesus had been precious to him through life, yet it was far better in death."

His funeral was attended by a large circle of relatives, friends and acquaintances, all of whom seemed to evince the greatest love and respect for his memory.

May the good Lord deal graciously with the surviving compan­ ion of our departed brother, and the little ones, and may the entire household be an unbroken circle in Heaven.

R. SCOTT NORRIS, Pastor. Belair, Mel., November 6th, 1863.

Letter from Judge William, M. Tredway, of Chatham, Virginia, to the Rev. Silas B. Tredway:-

Chatham, Va., November 6, 188G. Dear Sir:-

I very cheerfully contribute such meager information as I can to your inquiries. I have in the handwriting of my father, Moses Tredway, son of Moses Tredway, the following memo, viz:

'Thomas Tredway, father of Moses Tredway, Sr. ( this was my great grandfather) was born in England about the year 1700, and intermarried with ---, of Howard County, State of Maryland, HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY she being his fourth wife and mother of Moses Tredway, Sr. .J os­ eph Hopkins, father of Sarah, wife of M. Tredway, Sr., was born in England about 1700, came to America young, and married Mary Baldwin. Moses Tredway, Sr., who married Sarah Hopkins, had seven children, three died in infancy and four survived viz: Thomas, born Jan. 4, 1777, Moses, born Sept. 19, 1778, John, born June 17, 1781, Sarah, born April 19, 1784. I have also the follow­ ing statement in handwriting of T. T. Tredway (whom you saw in Alexandria) viz:

Thomas Treadwell lived in England, was an innkeeper in Corn­ wall in the latter part of the sixteenth century or early part of the seventeenth century. This Thomas Treadwell had a son of his name who, when a youth, emigrated to Massachusetts or one of the provinces of New England some time about 1712 to 1715. After­ wards he changed his name to Tredway, moved to Maryland, set­ tled there, married twice and died 85 years of age, leaving one daughter and four sons.

There is a tradition that a brother of Thomas Treadwell, inn­ keeper, had settled in Massachusetts, where he lived to middle age unmarried, and became rich. That on a visit to his familv in Corn­ wall he persuaded the innkeeper to permit his son Tho~as to go to Massachusetts with him and promised to give him his estate. When the boy was grown the uncle married a young woman, had children and the nephew in disgust changed his name to Tredway and moved to Maryland.

This tradition was confirmed by the statement of an old serving man, Dobbs Smith, who served Thomas, the innkeeper, and who came to Thomas in Maryland and lived with him until his death. He then came to Manchester, Va., and was supported by Moses Tredway, Sr., as long as he lived.

Of the four sons left by Thomas of Maryland, Da-mel lived an·d died 53 years old in Maryland. Aaron and William settled in Ten­ nessee. Moses came to Virginia, settled in Manchester, Va., and kept tavern there, and in Poohatun and Prince Edward counties, and died in the latter county aged 58, leaving three sons, ·1 noma,, Moses and John and one daughter Sarah.

I remember when a boy about sixty years ago, a man named Amos Treadwell, an Episcopal minister from the North, probably Connecticut state, came to my father's in Prince Edward who stated that a brother or nephew of his father clid change his name from Treadwell to Tredway. He also said in tracing the genealogy, he be­ lieved the family in Prince Edward and his own had a common ongm.

Thomas, oldest son of Moses of Manchester, Va., became a merchant in that place and made a good estate, the only one of th 2 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY name that could make ancl keep money. He was married twice and of several children only one lived to mature age, T. T. Tredway who had a large estate left by his father and died more than a year ago in Richmond, Va. He was well educated, a man of fine talents, educated for the bar but never practiced; an upright, benevolent, christian man, -and left one daughter, an invalid, now in Richmond with her mother.

John, the youngest son of Moses the elder, settled in the State of Ohio, a farmer, but was indolent and a bad manager and poor. He left several children in that state, of whom I hear nothing. Moses, second son of Moses, Sr., was my father, lived in Prince Edward County, Va., where he died upwards of 80 years of age, leaving four sons and five daughters surviving, all of whom live in Virginia except Thomas, second son, who settled in Tennessee, a farmer, and John, a younger son, who lives in Kansas City, a law­ yer, but did not practice. Edward is a respectable physician living in Goahland County, Va. All the sons were favored with college education at Hampden Sydney College, Va. At this college I grad­ uated September 1827. The oldest of the sons, my father, then a planter, owned a comfortable estate in Prince Edward, but with a large family, was not able to afford me pecuniary aid. I taught school one year in Prince Edward, then came to Pittsylvania County, on the southern border of the State, taught a year-only two boys in the family of Samuel Danston, a very wealthy man and planter. I read law at leisure times and was licensed January 4, 1830, mar­ ried Nancy Miller, daughter of a well to do farmer of that county, and have resided here ever since. In 1845 was elected to Congress, served only one term, was defeated by one vote by counterfuge, was renominated again but declined, although quite sure of being elected. In 1851 was elected one of the representatives of a 'dis­ trict composed of three large counties, to the Convention to form a New Constitution for the State, and again in 1861 was elected to represent Pittsylvania County in the Convention, which succeeded, but was opposed to secession until Lincoln called for 75,000 men and then I decided to go with my State, was a decided advocate of tlw war.

In May 1870, I was elected by the Legislature Judge of the Cir­ .cui t Court and served till January 1879 and declined re-election. I was indolent ( a failing of my branch of the family,) yet was very successful in my profession and had it in my power to lay up a good ·estate, but was improvident and now only have a competency for prudent living. We had ten children, six sons and four daughters. Of the sons, one died in infancy, one Thomas B. next to the young­ est, was killed in the Battle of Gettysburg, about 18 years of age and ready to enter college when he volunteered at 16. We have no par­ ticulars of his death except that he was shot clown while aiding his colonel who was thought to be mortally wounded but did recover. Our third son, William, was a lawyer, just entering practice when he volunteered for the war and commanded a volunteer company HISTORY 0-F THE TREDWAY FAMILY 2 97 from this place. He was slightly wounded at Gettysburg, recovered and continued in the war until the surrender, located here, married, and after a successful practice of several years, became diseased and died leaving a wife and six children.

My oldest son, Moses, is engaged in tobacco manufacture in Danville, Va. Robert, second son, is a lawyer in good practice at this place, has a wife, four sons and one daughter. Our youngest son, James Lewis, is also a lawyer residing here, in good practice and doing well, has a family of wife and three children. My daugh­ ters all married and live near us, and we have none living with us, but surrounded by about forty grand children including some great grandchildren. ·

'The only unfavorable thing I have known about the name is stated in Daubrigne's History of the Reformation viz: "That a man by name Tredway, was a Protestant and a good writer, but when overpowerd by the Catholic prosecutions he gave up his faith arid betrayed his friends." I have not the book by me or would refer you to page and voiume.

I enjoy good health and it is no trouble for rr:e to write. I would be glad to see you at your home, but rather if you would pay me a visit and spend some time you would find this a pleasant coun­ try, especially as a summer retreat.

My father, Uncle Thomas and families were Presbyterians.

Very truly yours,

WILLIAM M. TREDWAY.

Historical Sketch of Tredivays' Homes in Maryland:-

As late as 1760 and 1770 the people in the upper encl of Balti­ more County were annoyed by Indians, in the Fall of the year burning the barns of York and Baltimore County, producing smoke which was often taken for Indian summer. These depreda­ tions at such times kept the early settlers on the constant watch. A tradition exists in the family of old James Carlin of one of their last visits, in which they killed a boy about ten or twelve years of age on his or adjoining land. They were in the habit of spending their winters along the river and bay, and travelled by the roads which led from Marsh Creek by Hanover, Shrewsberry, Round Hill, Bethel, etc., to Swan Creek and the bay.

Previous to the coming of Daniel Tredway to this part of the county about this time grew out of the fact that it was being settled by a colony of Scotch Presbyterians, the Church, known by the name of Bethel, had already been erected, although they did not regularly call, or have settled over it a minister until 1769, when the Rev. John Clark became their pastor. This historic Church stands directly on the old Joppa Road leading from Black Horse P. 0. to Madonna P. 0. and on to J arrettsville, intersecting other roads which lead down into East Harford to the Bayside. The present Church is the third built. No early records having been kept no one knows who was the first Presbyterian w.ho came into this Upper Node Forest. Why he came here, or how the community was first settled no one can tell. Beginnings are lost sight of concerning these matters which would be highly appreciated could they be obtained. The first Church, however, was a log or frame Church, and the second in which the author has himself worshipped, was erected in 1802, and was a parallel shaped stone building that stood conven­ iently near the road, and was in its day a fine Church, complete in all its appointments and in every way meeting all the requirements of those for whom it was built. In 1888 the present building was erected and is a beautiful modern stone structure which is a credit to the people and an architectul'al ornament to the neighborhood. Familiar as household words are the names of Nelson, Kirkwood, Patterson, Jackson, Finley, McClung, Madden, Hope, Johnson, Henderson, Black, Shaw, Bell, Anderson, Ramsay, Cralin, Turner, Cathcart, Meads, Basley, Guyton, Hughes, Tredway and others who are the descendants of those hardy and faithful pioneers that be­ came the builders of the nation. Many of the posterity emigrated to the South and the West filling positions that have made their name prominent in the history of the country. Daniel Tredway, though living in sight of the Bethel Church and sometimes visiting it I presume, never became identified with it. When he left the old Spesutiae Church in East Harford, ( Church of England) where he was baptized and married he never became identified with any other Church, though in his old age, when the Methodists came and estab­ lished preaching in the community he often went to their meetings. In after years, however, before Methodism became prominent in the HISTORY OF 'I'HE TREDWAY FAMILY neighborhood Daniel Tredway's sons and daughters were members of Bethel congregation, though not members of the Church, and a number of the grandchildren regarded it as their church home and centre of their religious life. Here they first heard the Blessed Gospel in this "Pioneer Church advanced into the wilderness of Up­ per Node Forest," which was to them the House of God and the Gate of Heaven to their souls. At home in Baltimore County in the fifties after the work for the day on the farm was completed, I have often heard my Father, Thomas Tredway, speak with deep in­ terest and warm feelings of his early associations of Bethel, until the history of the Church has engraved itself on the tablet of my memory and into the character of my life.

"Sacrament Sunday was always a big day and the people came from all sections of the community and came from other neighbor­ hoods that they might be present on that interesting occasion to hear the two sermons and participate in the communion services. At these special times impressions were made and associations formed which only ended at the mouth of the grave. Dear Old Bethel Church, may she ever be a beacon light of truth and righteousness in all the surrounding community, for she has clone more for the moral culture of the people of that section of Harford County than any other agency that has been employed for the welfare of the people.

Directly after Daniel Tredway had opened his farm and cleared off his land he engaged principally in the growing of tobacco as the main crop; it still being in great demand for foreign exportation. Below the house towards the spring, as well as east and west, the land was cultivated in "the weed," together with flax, Indian corn, wheat and rye. In front of the house was the garden in which grew all the vegetables for family use, and from that point out to the pub­ lic road more than a quarter of a mile was set a row of cherry trees many of which are dead or removed, but two or three still remain at this time ( 1894) to mark the place where the row stood, An apple orchard was set out directly back of the house on the most elevated part of the plantation which in a few years gave a home like aspect to the surroundings and added to the beauty of this new home in "Upper Node Forest." At the head of this apple orchard as was then the custom was established the family grave yard in which were deposited one after another the remains of the dear de­ parted as they laid down the burdens of life, folded their tents in solemn silence and went away to the better land. Charity Tred­ way, a granddaughter of Daniel, and daughter of his son Eunice, born December 5th, 1778, dying in girlhood, was the first member of the family whose remains were placed in this now interesting spot. She was long remembered and often spoken of as a sweet spirited girl, which would lead to the conclusion that she had the name that aptly indicated her beautiful character. Here Daniel Tredway with other crops planted his tobacco, hoed and cultivated watched and wormed, cut and housed and cured, as did also his neighbors. When it was packed in hogsheads, false heads were 308 HISTORY OF THE 'TREDWAY FAMILY added to which were rigged a tongue br shaves and mules or oxen attached, when it was hauled over the "rolling roads" twelve or fifteen miles· to Swan Creek or Rock Run Warehouse, where it was inspected and disposed of to the buyers on the best possible terms.

Daniel Tredway being a man of regular habits, industry and thrift, he was soon able to purchase on little Creek in the immed­ iate neighborhood another tract of land of some two hundred acres, a part of which is in the Henderson heirs, and the remainder still held by James Tredway, a great grandson. Though not an educated man in the proper sense of that term he was a leading man of the community, and counselled and advised with on all the leading ques­ tions affecting the comfort of his neighbors and the wellbeing of the neighborhood. He was "Crier of the Court of Belair" for quite a number of years which afforded him opportunities for making acquaintances and friends in all parts of the county, and extending even to other parts of the state. He was very fond of home and its comforts and gave much attention and detail to the pleasure and happiness of his five sons and five daughters who were growing up around his fireside. He on one occasion bought a fine set of pew­ ter table ware then much in vogue among the tobacco planters of that section of the county, and among the pieces was a plate with a "double bottom," into which hot water could be poured in order to keep warm buckwheat and other griddle cakes used for breakfast in those early days of Harford County.

When he became advanced in life his older children married and settled in their own homes, and the younger children, Crispin, Mary, Sallie and John were assuming the responsibilities of the old homestead, he had a little house built across the yard near the gar­ den for his own comfort where he could be away from the noise and excitement of farm life which seemed to disturb him in his old age. After a long life of usefulness and prosperity he laid himself clown to dreamless slumbers, and in the old apple orchard with his wife and a number of his children, and the bosom of mother earth he sleeps welL The apple trees, like the planter, have passed away and now ( 1894) only the ground with some cedars and other trees mark this sacred spot still clear to the members of the Tredway family.

In the matter of clothing, prov1s10ns and farming implements every farmer's family was an independent arrangement, a self-sup­ porting machine, not altogether unlike the old feudal barons in the early clays of England, though the castles were altogether wantino:. Crispin Tredway, one of the younger sons of Daniel, was very skill­ ful in the use of tools and was able to construct anything needed upon the plantation from an ax-helve to a cider mill. He spent the leisure of his winter rc1ys in the manufacturing of plows for his father and al::1-o for the neighbors, who paid him nine dollars apiece for them. The handles were six feet, and the beam ten feet in length, with wooded mouldboard and lanclside, shod with a HISTORY OF 'I'HE TREDWAY FAMILY wrought iron share made at the nearest blacksmith shop. I saw a similar agricultural instrument at the World's Fair in the Illinois State Building, said to have been made by James Glen, with saw, broad axe, and drawing knife, with an iron share made at a black­ smith shop 20 miles away. It excited great curiosity when compared with a modern steel plow which was a thing of beauty and per­ fection.

In 1768 the county seat was removedfrom the town of Joppa to Baltimore town on the Patapsco River, then a small cluster of houses at the mouth of Jones' Falls; or a cluster of three ham­ lets from which the great City of Baltimore has sprung. The court house being removed to this new point interest began very rapidly to center there in business as well as in general trade. All the roads laid off and built were now in the direction of Baltimore, which crossed almost at right angles all the "rolling roads" which concentrated at the old town of Joppa on the Gunpowder River. The earliest wagon, of which I have any recollection, of the Tred­ ways was a large affair, the hubs were very long. the spokes greatly "dished" with fellows strong and substantial. 'The body was after the old Conestoga style of eastern Pennsylvania, introduced by the Moravians from Germany. It was very capacious, and would carry at a single load all the contents of two or three families which was generally the manner of going to Baltimore when it first became a market town. But in a few years nearly every man was able to have his own wagon, and certain seasons of the year when tobacco, or grain or family produce, such as butter, eggs and cheese. the farmers went in groups or trains to assist each other up the steep hills. At first much produce in the way of cheese, butter, eggs and poultry was taken to Baltimore Town on horseback, as roads were new and rough and wagons very few. Baskets were made of "white oak" and hung over the horse with straps. Sometimes, as much as a hundred and fifty pounds of farm produce was thus load­ ed on a horse, being led by the owned mounted on another. As the community became more thickly settled and the plantations in­ creased wagons took the place of this mode of getting their pro­ duce to Baltimore.

Daniel Tredway, the second son of Thomas Tredway ( son of Richard R. Tredway Sr.) married Sarah Norris November the 22nd 1744 at the old Spesutiae Church in East Baltimore County, Prov­ ince of Maryland, and soon afterwards went with his new wife and settled in Upper Node Forest, in the upper, or northwest part of Baltimore County, and what is now known as Marshall's District, Harford County. It is still in the possession of two of Daniel Tred­ way's great grandsons, John T. Cathcart and James B. Tredway. Daniel Tredway secured the land directly at the head of Winters Run and built his log house on a slightly inclined stretch of land facing the east, close to a spring of good running water. A cellar was built under it. and in time as his family increased in number and size and circumstances improved he added kitchen and shed 310 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY rooms according to the nature of house improvements at that time. Only a few years before ( 1729) the Susquehannocks were in occu­ pancy of the country west of the river from Peach Bottom to Deer Creek, and out past the Rocks and above and over York County, Penna. Their fort before 1725 was most probably on the promin­ ence below the rapids on the river below Peach Bottom, known as Bald Friar or Maiden's Mount, adjacent to Bald Friar Ferry. The Mingoes occupied west of them, having three settlements on Deer Creek until 1763, only about eight or ten miles from where Daniel Tredway settled. One of the settlements was on the right bank op­ posite the residence of the late E. Stanley Rogers, another village about fifty yards from where the mill of Anderson now stands. The name of this place was Mingo Push, after a Mingo Chief who lived about a hundred yards above the mill. The massacre of their kindred Mingoes in Lancaster County, on Conestoga, Wednesday, December 14th, 1763, hastened their removal from Baltimore, now Harford County, Maryland.

When the oldest son of Daniel Tredway was born he named him Thomas, doubtless in honor of his grandfather, who was then living in the old neighborhood near Michaelsville. He must have been a favorite of his grandfather. Perhaps in rolling the hogs­ heads of tobacco from his father's plantation to Joppa he made it convenient to spend his nights at his grandfather's, and in this man­ ner spent much of his time in and around the old homestead. When he reached manhood he married Miss Christena Sanders and per­ manently settled in East Harford until the death of his wife, who is buried in the family graveyard of her late grandson, Carvil Gil­ bert, near Havre de Grace.

Biographical N ates on Daniel Tredway, son of John N. and Ru th (Peteet) Tredway, as written by the Rev. Silas B. Tredway.

Daniel Tredway (third son of John N. and Ruth Tredway), was a Member of West Liberty Methodist Episcopal Church for more than half a century, and class leader for 40 years of that time. One of the revised statutes of Maryland required that a white man should be present at all of the religious meetings of colored people. Daniel Tredway was appointed as one of the Church members to be present at their meetings. which were held in the woods of the neighborhood, barns and out-houses. The colored people finally begged Daniel Tredway to erect for them a log "Meeting House" for their meetings; which, with the assistance of a few acquaint­ ances, aid by the colored people, a Log Church was built in a grove of pines and named Pine Grove Church, in the Fourth District (Marshall's) of Harford County, Maryland, near what is known as Gorsuch's Mill, afterwards owned by a Mr. Winemiller, a Pennsyl­ vania German, a member of N orrisville Methodist Protestant Church, in another part of the community. He often said hf' en­ joyed their prayers, and particularly their singing, lifting bim into HISTORY OF 'THE TREDWAY FAMILY 3II

the higher zones of spiritual emotion and religious fervor. Tlie colored people were very fond of their superintendent, and deferred to him in all their affairs, domestic and religious.

Daniel Tredway, son of John N. and Ruth (Peteet) Tredway, was born August the 29th, r 798, near Madonna, Harford County. Maryland. Like his three brothers and two sisters he grew up up,m his father's farm, in the immediate vicinity of his grandparents and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins, which must have made life very pleasant in the country forest home in the depths of old "Harford." In that period of Maryland history schools were established by neighborhoods, and not by the state or the county, so that only a very limited education in the R. R. R. (Readin, Riten' and Rith­ matic) could be obtained by the average boy. But Daniel, like some of his young friends, early appreciated the limited educa­ tional advantages which the community afforded, and applied him­ self to the work of mastering the books placed in his hands, so that when he reached the years of his younger manhood he stood above the average scholar in the community, and was regarded as a well informed young man. Being too young to go to the defence of Bal­ timore in 1814 with his father and brother Thomas, who was two years his senior, he remained at home and with the assistance of his afflicted brother Chenworth took care of the farm and family while his father and brother were at the seat of war, and it is a- matter of great credit to him that he was faithful to his mother and broth­ ers and sisters in those dark days which tried the souls of men and women on the soil of historic Maryland.

In his young manhood he became very religious and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church, the church to which his parents be­ longed, and which was a source of great comfort to them, as they were both very zealous christians.

On the first clay of March, 1827, Daniel Treclway_::.married Elia­ beth Bosley. who was born November 12, 1803, daugbter of James Bosley and his wife. Rev. Edward Rockhold, a local minister of that community performed the ceremony, as he did for many other young people, growing out of the fact that the "circuit riders" were few and far between, and not always accessible. James Bosley, his father-in-law, gave the young couple a farm located on Deer Creek, near Gorsuch's Mill. in Baltimore County, Maryland, where they raised eight children, three sons and five daughters, and where they spent all of their married life.

After moving to their new home Daniel Tredway and his wife became members of West Liberty M_ E. Church on Shrewsbury cir­ cuit, and soon became deeply interested in all the matters of church work. He assisted in building the church which still stands as a credit to the community. He held the position of class leader for forty consecutive years, which he resigned when he became deaf from old age. His house was a home for the preachers as long as 312 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

he lived; and many is the weary itinerant who sought rest and quiet­ ness under his hospitable roof. Being a man of more than average intelligence he was always looked up to by his neighbors for counsel and advice in times of death or distress, or business emer­ gencies. A warm friend of young people in the community and the church, he was made Sabbath school superintendent, a position which he held for many years with great success. He was a fine looking man, being over six feet in height and well proportioned; light hair and gray eyes, prominent forehead, grecian nose, and well shaped mouth. A man of keen wit and ready utterance, he was al­ ways the centre of attraction in the presence of his friends and neighbors when gathered together for social enjoyment. Like his father he was a man of no enemies and many friends. He died in great peace at his home June 3rd, 1878, and his wife died February 24th, 1894, and side by side they sleep in West Liberty M. E. Church grave yard, awaiting the resurrection of the just.

The Germantown Telegraph Carried the Folfowing Interesting News Iteni Captioned "A Farmer's Household Fifty Years Ago" and is Reproduced here to Show the Trials and Tribula­ tions Encountered by the. Early Tredways.

Some of my first recollections were of the great amount of work done by the farrner's wives and daughters all the year through; for after the fall work was done, then the sewing and knitting all the stockings and mittens must be done, and butter making, and nobody to help one; all must be done by the woman, and all hard work. During the summer, the year's supply of cheese was made for the family, and often some to send to market, and how nice it was. And soap; in the first place the leach tub must be set up some time previously, and often the housewife had to defer her plans until a convenient season for the men to find the time to do the job. Then a great quantity of hot water must be applied to the ashes to extract the lye, and after v,aiting three or four days for it to commence to run, the process begins. All the grease pots which had accumulated during the year were brought out, the big iron kettle was hung on the crane, and a big hot fire started. 'Ibere was no rule nor recipe to go by, only guess work. Put in some grease and some lye, boil, then add some more until the kettle is nearly full; boil, then dip out a little to cool, and learn what is needed. Perhaps it is more lye, or water, or maybe grease, and thus work­ ing over the fire all day inhaling the perfumes of the boiling mass, when at last the compound is thought to be all right; but when after the standing over night it proved to be not of the right thickness, then it must be boiled over again the next clay. Then came the clearing up which was no small job. A sufficient quantity was made to last through the year, for remember. no soap peddler came around, and there was no hard soap except a little sometimes for the toilet. Then there was another dreaded clay when the butchering HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY was done. No meat carts to bring nice fresh meat to your door, but enough meat must be pickled and preserved in some form to last through the year; sausage was made and hams cured, a part stored away for the haying season, when four or five men were fed five times a day for as many weeks, for in those days men were up at five o'clock in the morning to whet the scythe, before the dew was off the grass. At ten o'clock they all came to lunch on coffee, dough­ nuts, mince pie, etc., beside a little something stronger was often taken to the hay field to keep their spirits up; then dinner at twelve o'clock, luncheon in the afternoon, and supper after the long day's work of fourteen or fifteen hours. Cooking in those days meant hard work. Every Saturday, and often twice a week, the big brick oven was heated and filled with beans, Indian pudding, four or five loaves or brown bread, two or three kinds of pies, a pot of apple sauce with a bread crust over the top, called "pandandy," and very good eating it was. All the other cooking was done at an open fireplace; an iron tea-kettle, a pot for potatoes, and a larger one for boiled dinners, hung on a crane; a spider to fry the pork and sausage, a heavy iron bake pan to set over the coals, to bake bis­ cuit, with lid to cover it; a large shovel to haul out the coals, and some one to stand over the coals to attend to the cooking. All the farm work was done by hand, and only one ox was used, so that it was a long job and often took weeks to finish, and during all that time the wife and mother was spending most of her time cooking when she was not washing, ironing and mending for the family. No hired girls to help as long as one could keep off the bed. Once or twice a year a woman came to help make the garments for the family and help get the children ready for school. The making of candles was another hard, disagreeable job which had to be done every fall. Nothing but tallow candles and pine knots for lights, and a year's supply made at a time. The tallow was melted and strained, then the wicks were twisted on to the sticks and these laid across two poles, which were suspended from the floor by resting on chairs. The kettle of hot tallow was kept over the fire during the process of dipping, and from ten to twelve dozen could be made in one clay. The w.icks were dipped into tlie hot tallow until they were of the right size, then taken from the sticks and trimmed all the same length, and packed in boxes for safekeeping. The next day ca.me the clearing, and oh, clear, what a job! What would the women of today say if they had to work as their mothers and grandmothers did? No carpets on the floors, and the mopping and scrubbing that had to be clone would certainly hreak the backs of some of our feeble sisters. 314 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

Sketch of Dr. Silas Baldwin Tredway, written by his daughter, Idella W. Tredway, of W asliington, D. C.

( See picture on page 46)

Dr. Silas Baldwin Tredway, to whom credit for a part of this genealogy is due, was born October 25, 1846, in Baltimore, Mary­ land, and died in that same city July 7, 1917. \i\Then a very young child he moved with his parents to a farm in Baltimore County, about fifteen miles from Baltimore City. Being one of a very large family, his chances for even a public school education were very slim and his school life was limited to a few years in very ordinary schools that were under the direction and control of incompetent teachers. But being of a determined disposition with a great thirst for knowledge, as wel1 as an apt learner, a keen observer and a diligent student, he mastered German, Hebrew, Greek and Latin; his love of history was a dominating enthusiasm and he read with un­ wearied diligence, Josephus, Ro11in, Grote, Plutarch, McCauley, Motley and many others. His passion for history was augmented by a splendid memory that could retain it. This was a11 attained through hard work and when in 1904 the degree of D. D. was conferred upon him by the Kansas City University, nobody asked why this honor was given, but all, and he had many, many friends, knew he had made himself worthy of it.

Before he was eighteen years old, Silas B. Tredway joined the army, enlisting in Company D, Third Maryland Regiment, February 27, 1864, and continued in it until the close of the Civil War. He was in a number of hard battles and in the Battle of Cold Harbor he received a wound that physica1ly impaired him for the remainder of his life; but even though this wound meant practically the giv­ ing up the use of his right arm, it seemed to prove that he was a patriot brave and true, fighting hard to overcome this lameness which he did to a great extent. In 1872, through the influence of a great-uncle, Thomas Tredway, he entered the ministry of the Meth­ odist Protestant Church which he served for forty-five years at the following named charges: Vienna, Maryland; Stewartstown, Pa.; Finksburg, Maryland; Seaford, Delaware; Baltimore City, Cumber­ land, Maryland; Alexandria, Va.; Washington, D. C.; Salisbury, St. James, ( near Chestertown), Centreville, Bel Air, Cambridge, Crisfield,· Maryland; Fawn Grove, Pa.; Susquehanna, ( near Havre de Grace), and Leeds, Maryland. He also represented the Mary~ land Annual Conference twice at the General Conferences; in 1896 at Kansas City, Kansas, and in 1904 at --. Some of the above­ named charges were circuits, some large fields with complex prob­ lems to meet and demanded much pastoral activity and oversight.

As a father he was unselfish and generous to a fault and was determined that his children should receive an education. Each one of his three children received the degree of A. B. and the son was graduated from John Hopkins University in Baltimore, Mary- HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY land, and has been practicing medicine in Erie, Penna., for eighteen years. This was accomplished through the sacrifices of loyal, lov­ ing and generous parents, salaries being meager, but there seemed to be a way.

Silas Baldwin Tredway married Mary L. Rue, his first wife, March 9, 1875; she died March 1876, leaving an infant son, Edgar Ewell Tredway who died six months later. He then married Cor­ nelia Palmer April 24, 1879, who at this writing is still living. He never failed to give her full praise for her great aid in his work which spread over a span of thirty-eight of the forty-five years of his ministerial life. If Dr. S, B, Tredway were living today, no one would be happier than he that this genealogy has been completed and published and no one would be prouder to read it.

From Mrs. Eliza C. Green, of Sedalia, Missoitri, to the Rev. Silas B. Tredway, under date of September 16, 1897:

I have just received a letter from Cousin Frank Tredway, of Kansas City, in which he enclosed a copy of your communication, and as I am quite interested in the matter I shall certainly do all I can to help you and hope when the work is completed to have a copy. I know very little of my father's family, especially the east­ ern branch. having never visited them or met them. I really do not know my grandfather's name, having always heard of him as HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

Grandpa Treadway My father was Samuel Treadway, born in New Haven December 12, 1816. He married Julia Elliott of New Or­ leans, July 29, 1846; died in St. Louis July 29, 1876. My mother only lived nine months after his death. She died March 12, 1877. Father had several brothers and sisters of whom I can recall. Har­ vey whose wife's name was Margaret. They had four children: Isaac, Frances, Helen and Grace. Isaac died about ten years ago in St. Louis. He married a Miss Smith of Arkansas. They had two children: May and Nellie, both living in St. Louis and unmarried. His wife died a couple of years before he died. Frances the sec­ ond child, married Erasmus Smith, for many years a pilot on the Mississippi River. They had two children: Grace and Harvey. Grace is living in St. Louis; Harvey I know nothing about. Helen, the third, married a Mr. Dow of Minnesota. They had two child­ ren: Nathaniel and May, of whom I know nothing. Grace married a Mr. Wasson. She has seven daughters and one son, all living in the West the last I heard of them.

Aaron, another brother, lived in Carson City, Nevada, and Aunt Mary Treadway, Uncle Harvey's widow, went out there to keep house for him. In some business transactions he was about to lose all his valuable property and to save the homestead he married Aunt Mary, Uncle Harvey's widow. We have a fine picture of the ranch which I think sister would be pleasecl to let you have should you care to see it. Aunt Mary is dead and I think Uncle Aaron is also. It has been quite a long time since I heard anything of them, but Grace Smith of St. Louis could give you all the information you want of that branch-·as she corresponds with her aunts out there regularly. Richard, another brother, whose family are living in Kansas City, and whose son Charles and grandson Frank with whom you have communicated can give you all the information of that branch. Uncle George Treadway was a half brother, but whether my grandfather was married twice or grandmother was a widow with a family I have forgotten, but Mrs. G. D. Thompson of St. Louis, who is a daughter of Uncle George, can give you the most correct pedigree of that branch, having lived East until a few years ago and is acquainted with all the family. She can tell you all in regard to father's sisters, of whom he had several. Martha was living in Middletown, Conn., when I last heard of her, also Jane and Mary of whom I know nothing.

I am the oldest daughter of Samuel Treadway, born in St. Louis April 15, 1847. I was married to Edwin Wills Greene, of New York, August 19, 1872, have never had any children. Am liv­ ing in Sedalia, Mo.,- where Mr. Greene is a merchant tailor. My sisters are Julia E. and Frances Znleika. Julia E. was born in St. Louis, July 1848; married J. C. Morrall, May I, 1873; she had three children: Edwin S., Essie T. and Julian E., all single and living in St. Louis. My other sister married Charles H. Hauck, of St. Louis; she has no children. This, I believe, completes the history as far as I ,have any knowledge and hope it will be of some use to HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY you. Hoping to hear from you again and promising to help you all I can, I remain, yours respectfully,

MRS. ELIZA C. GREENE.

From Mary Daniels Whittlesey Shore, Sr Parkside Drive, Berkeley, California:

W. T. Tredway, Pittsburgh, Pa.

Dear Sir:

Your letter of July 9 is most interesting and I congratulate you on the mass of material collected for genealogy of the Treadway Family. Collecting and editing data f;::-~ ~uch a work is largely labor of love and expenditure, for which sat1sfcictior, c11m~ the only re­ compense.

I am glad to help if I can, but being three generations from the name fear I have little to offer, beyond what you have.

I have the lives of Nathaniel, the settler, and Sufferana, his wife, their children and grandchildren, with marriages, and most dates, beyond that third generation have given little thought except my own line, until we-Come to Josiah and Eunice Foote Treadway. I have their original family record and have followed in a general way some of their descendants.

Lois, their youngest daughter, was my great grandmother.

For some time I had correspondence with Mr. Abell of Roch­ ester, N. Y., and sent him my data of the family, which he com­ bined with his own-of which he kindly sent me a copy. As you have his collection you must have all of mine of any value, except some little traditions that may or may not be accurate.

The Lucy I asked for was for benefit of Mr. Abell. I have no connection with her. My great grandfather, Elijah, probably will not be found. I have some reason to think he was son of James IV and Sarah Munn Treadway, which would make him first cousin to Lois, but not having dates can not prove it.

Many years ago there was a Miss Lucy Lawton of Southamp­ ton, Connecticut, who was collecting data for 'Treadway history. After her death the papers came to her nephew, Mr. --- Lawton, of Meriden, Conn., who kindly let me copy such parts as I wanted. Among the papers I found two letters written by Mr. to Miss Lawton twenty years before, and not answered by her. HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

Perhaps you are in touch with Mr. Lawton. I regret not be­ ing able to recall his first name, but he is connected with the Con­ necticut Electrical Company in Meriden, and evidently a man of importance, though, I thought, not particularly interested in ancestry

I wonder where you find the name Biglow, as wife of James III Treadway. You state Josiah, son of James Treadway, and his wife -maiden name Biglow~married Eunice Foote May 13, 1735. In all records I have seen, Josiah IV, born June 20, 1706, son of James III and Sarah Bond Treadway, married Eunice Foote May 13, 1735. In the Bond genealogy which goes back several genera­ tions into England, we find Thomas Bond of Watertown, Mass., born December 23, 1654, married Sarah Woolson, September 30, 1680. Their daughter, Sarah, born December 21, 1685, married February 12, 1701-2, James Treadway. She, a widow, was living in Colchester, Conn., in 1737.

I am quite fond of the Bond connection, as I am also of the Foote. I have Eunice's ancestry back from her, unbroken for five generations in every line and in a few cases, much beyond.

The Treadway war records are interesting. Josiah and Eunice had seven sons in the Revolution. Eunice once said "If General Washington knew how hard Lois and I worked to clothe seven men in the army, I know he would give us a pension."

I know where Josiah and Eunice house stood on Cockle Hill in Salem, Conn, at that time a part of Colchester. When a child, my father took me to see the cellar. I doubt if that could be found now. It was at a corner of the main road, but now not even a path through the woods. Josiah and Eunice are buried in the Lamb burying yard in Salem, on the N orwick road, not far from the old Music Vale Seminary. Lois and several grandchildren, also daugh­ ter Alice, lie in the cemetery on a hill west of Salem street, now a highway between New London and Hartford, Conn. Lois lived with her granddaughter, my mother, Mrs. Henry P. Whittlesey. She died in 1851, aged nearly 95 years. She was a woman of strong personality and much ability. Among my treasures is a daguerro­ type of Lois, taken when she was 92 years-a most perfect specimen of the art, showing a bright-eyed animated expression that is really lovely. I regret that I can not have it copied into the genealogy, though not of special interest to any other branch. I am also un­ able to subscribe to your interesting book. I wish copies might be placed in some historical rooms, particularly the ones in Colchester and Hartford, ancl the New England Genealogical and Historical Association of Boston, the latter being probably the most complete in the country.

I have specimens of handiwork clone in the family linen, some personal belongings and keepsakes th;i,t were treasured. The ladder back chair and stand that were by Lois' bed, dating back to Revolu- HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY tionary times, her Psalm book which she used in singing school in 1773; a few things that belonged to Eunice, one a pastry rolling pin which she had from her parents' home when she was married in 1735. She was daughter of Josiah and Sarah Wells Foote. I do not now know a person of Treadway name. There is a Mrs. Nor­ man Doball (Ida Allyn Doball) of New London, Conn., a woman of 80, great granddaughter of Lois, through her son Russell. She may have some cousins that I have lost track of or never knew.

Mrs. Buddington and Mrs. Charles Merritt of Groton, Conn., I once knew well-grandchildren of Alpheus. They must be gone though the clan is long lived. Mrs. Buddington had a son, Walter, who if living must be middle aged. All this is of no use to you, save perhaps to check up on some other data you may have. I will enclose some notes and references that I have made from time to time.

I got the English pedigree and description of arms, the same as you sent from "English History of the Treadways" in the Congres­ sional Library at Washington, D. C. I am not versed enough in heraldry or artistic enough to reproduce the arms from description, though I understand its meaning. All of the family that I know spell the name with two "a's" but I have known about only those who settled in Colchester.

With all hopes for your success and as it is largely a labor of interest to collect a family into one volume, if I can locate anything more, I will gladly do it. Very truly,

MARY DANIELS WHITTLESEY SHORE, 81 Parkside Drive, Berkeley, California.

W. T. 'Tredway, Pittsburgh, Pa., August 25, 1929

Dear Sir:-

Your letter of August is at hand, and very glad to hear of the name. I will give you what I know of the same.

I understand from my mother when she lived that my ancestors were from England, and that my father was from Boston, Mass. I am the only son. My mother died in New York City twenty years ago, April 15, 1909. I did not get the details of my father and his brother in Boston, Mass. I do not know his correct name so that is all I can tell you, but I know from my mother that the cor­ rect name was Tredway, but my father used an "a" in his name and that is why I carry the same.

My father was Phemise William Harry Treadway.

My mother was Clara Elizabeth Treadway.

I remain, yours truly,

Letter from H. A. Tredway, of Baltimore, Maryland, to the Rev. Silas B. Tredway, under date of /-1.itgust 28, 1898:

Your letter of the third inst. duly received and contents noted, I would have answered sooner but your letter was in some way mis­ placed and have just found it. My full name is Howell A. Tred­ way, son of Moses H. Tredway, of Danville, Va., son of Judge Wm. M. Tredway (deceased) of Pittsylvania County, Va., who lived at Chatham, the county seat, from my earliest recollection to the time of his death, which occurred in 1891, at the advanced age of 80 odd years old. I was not aware of the fact that there was any other branch of the Tredway family until the receipt of your letter. I loc­ ated in Baltimore in 1895 and met my wife, Myrtle C., who is a native of this city, and am now the happy father of a fine boy 16 months old. My age is 28 years. Hoping this will give you the de­ sired information and that you will acquaint me with your discov­ eries as to whether there is any connection or not, I remain, Respectfully yours,

Lancaster, Pa., August 5, 1930.

Mr. \i\Tm. T. Tredway, 1112 Park Bldg., Pittsburgh, Pa.

Dear Sir:-

I should have given this matter attention sooner, but wanted to go down to Maryland and get records concerning our immediate family; do not know if this will be used but will send it anyway.

My father, John Norris Tredway, was born in Baltimore Cour,­ ty, Mel., December 5, 1834, died August 6, 1925, in Baltimore, Md., was the son of Daniel and Elizabeth Bosley Tredway. My father married Jemimah Cathcart who was born Oct. 31, 1844, and died March 6, 1898.

The following children were born, seven of whom are living: Thomas, born January 23, 1868; Josephine, born March 21, 1870, deceased; Anna V., born April 30, 1871, deceased; Ross P., born January 23, 1873, deceased; Lillie H., born October 9, 1874; James W., born August 9, 1877; Richard E., born April 29, 1879; Chas M. born September 23, 1881; Granville H., born October 29, 1883, de­ ceased; Rebecca J., born February 11, 1885; and H. Oscar, born August II, 1886.

My father had the following brothers and sisters who are dead: Daniel Tredway, of Quincy, Ill.; James Tredway, N orwoocl, Ohio; Mrs. Ellen Lytle, Whitehall, Md.; Mrs. Clarenda Meredith, Trump, Md.; Mrs. Mary Gemmill, Ohio.

I understand Tredway Bros., undertakers, of Norwood, Ohio, are sons of James Tredway and could possibly give information concerning the Treclways in Ohio.

I have been informed that Idella Tredway lives in Washing­ ton, D. C., and, no doubt, her address could be supplied by Dr. Vallie Hawkins, Fawn Grove, Pa., whom she visits occasionally.

I was married to Daisie E. Kaufmann, June 6, 1907. We have two sons Everett Cathcart Tredway, born March 22, 1909, and Ken­ neth Kaufmann Tredway, born June 22, 191 r.

I presume you know Dr. Paln,er Tredway, of Erie, Pa., is a son of Silas B.Tredway.

I remain, very sincerely yours,

Hon. Wm. T. Tredway: Dear Sir-

I got your letter and other matter today, was very glad indeed to hear from you, will give you all the information I can on my family, as far as I know.

The genealogical delineation of Lauris Goldsmith Treadway, as given on page 250 et seq., is supplemented by photographs of his grandfather, John Treadway; his father, Charles B. Treadway; his own photograph, Lauris Goldsmith Treadway; and that of his son, Richard Fowle Treadway, and data copied from his grandfather's Bible, as set forth in letter of Lauris Goldsmith Treadway to VI/. T. Tredway, under date of August 5, 1930, reading as follows:-

"My sister has taken the following from Grandfather's Bible which you may incorporate with other material:

John Treadway, born March 8, 1826, died Feb. 9, 1910; mar- ried Mary Ellen Herndon, November 23, 1852. Children:

Charles, born September 7, 1853; died October 1, 1925. Alice Herndon, born April 7, 1856; died October 21, 186o. Eliza Maud, born November 3, 1858; died August 26, 1860. Frank Herndon, born March 24, 1861 ; died in 1923. Elmer, born July 29, 1865; died March 4, 1866. Julius Herndon, born October 3, 1870.

Mary Ellen Herndon, born July 12, 1833, Russellville, Logan Cotinty, Kentucky, died November 13, 1874, Medford, Mass.

Unfortunately we have not the death of Frank Herndon Tread­ way, born March 24, 1861, who died as I recall in 1923. He left one child, Herndon Treadway, who I assume lives in Chicago. I have never seen him. The Chicago city directory may help you. My grandmother, Mary Ellen Herndon, was a cousin of William Herndon, Abraham Lincoln's law partner. It has always been said that the Herndons were bluebloods of Kentucky, but I have never known anything about the family.

I am enclosing a picture of John Treadway and under separ­ ate cover a picture of myself. I have a picture of my father which I am not sending now as I must have a copy made. Also I am having a picture of my oldest son made as my father was the oldest son of- my grandfather and I am the oldest son of my father, so that it will make a direct sequence of four Treadways."

GEORGE C. TREADWAY of Peoria, Illinois 356 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

Letter from William B. Treadway, of Columbus, Ind., to George C. Treadway, of Peoria, Illinois

Columbus, Incl., August 12, 1930.

Mr. George C. Treadway, Peoria, Illinois. Dear Cousin :- Your letter of the 4th inst. relative to the Treadway and Tred­ way genealogy was received, and I will try to answer as best I can under present conditions. First, I will say that I am badly handi­ capped by poor eyesight, owing to cataracts. I do but very little writing anymore, and I am not able to attend to any business, and have been compelled to give up all business. Only a month ago I severed my connection with the insurance company that I have rep­ resented here for twenty-seven years. I am eighty-one years old and presume the time has come for me to quit trying to do any kind of business.

I cannot give the genealogy of our immediate family farther back than Grandfather and Grandmother Treadway. Grandfather's name was John, and Grandmother's maiden name was Elizabeth Gaines. 'They were of the Virginia branch of the family, and I think they were 'both born there. They lived in Montgomery County, Kentucky, near Mt. Sterling, and there their children were born and reared. They had fourteen children, ten sons and four daughters, and all were reared except one, Harvey, who I under­ stand, died in childhood. All married and had families, I believe. I don't know that I can give the names in the order that they were born, but the names of the boys were Griffin ( the oldest), Stephen, Washington, Richard, John, James (your grandfather), Franklin, Newton and Milton ( my father) and he was the youngest of the family. I know the names of three of the girls, Mary, who mar­ ried a man by the name of Bills, Rhoda, married a Read, and Eliza­ beth married a Vanmater.

Grandfather (your great grandfather) bought a farm in the Northern part of Bartholomew County, Indiana, and moved on to it from Kentucky in 1835. He died in May 1839. He was born in May 1769, being seventy years of age at the time of his death. Grandmother (your great grandmother) died at the age of about eighty-four. She was living with rrty Uncle Washington in Mis­ souri and died at his home and was buried there. My grandfather was buried in the family burial ground on his farm, as were a num­ ber of the family and their children.

There are but three Treadways in this (Bartholomew) County now: myself, Emma, Uncle Newton's daughter, and Theodocia Car­ ter (your cousin), a daughter of your uncle Richard Treadway. vVe have no children, nor grandchildren.

There seems to be a large number of Treadways or Tredways HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 357

throughout the United States. I met W. A. Treadway, of Little Rock, Arkansas (he married a Columbus, Indiana, girl), and we had a conversation regarding the genealogy of the family. One thing I think is pretty certain, and that is that our branch of the .family in the United States descended from Nathaniel Treadway, who came over from England with his brother about 1632, and set­ tled in New England. The brother of Nathaniel had children, all of whom were girls, and I understand were all spinsters, so that eliminates descendants of that name from the brother, so the name must have come through Nathaniel.

Well, I believe this is all that I can tell you, as I cannot think of anything to add. My grandfather was a doctor and also a farmer.

Writing in a subsequent letter, T¥. B. Treadway writes as follows:

Your grandfather's name was James and he was born Dec. 15, r8rr and died Dec. 20, 1844. Your grandmother's maiden name was Elizabeth Gaines. She was born August 20, 1812, and died August 30, 1898. Your great grandfather's name was John and he was born May 13, 1769 and died May 24, 1839.

I do not know definitely about the date that Uncle Washington and Uncle Richard located in Missouri. My impression is that Uncle Washington and his- wife ( she was a McDannell) and her parents and their family moved from Montgomery County, Ky., in the early 4o's and Uncle Dick some time later. Uncle Washington located in Pike County and Uncle Dick iri Ralls County about 40 miles apart. When a child 9 years old I visited, with my parents, at both their homes. I do not have any line on the early Tread­ way residents of Illinois. I don't know when the Treaclways set­ tled in Arkansas. I met W. A. Treadway; I am satisfied that they are descended from the Virginia-Kentucky branch that we are de­ scended from.

Sincerely yours,

From I esse Whittington Treadway, of Tioga, La., son of I ames Wilson Treadway.

Tioga, La., September r, 1930. W. T. Tredway, Pittsburgh, Pa.

Dear Sir:-

Your letter of the 23rd was received today, I have been in con­ fusion about my father's picture which is enlarged and the only picture I have of him. He was James Wilson Treadway, born March the 5th, 1832; married my mother December 1887, at Pro­ vencal, La., by Captain Asy, Justice of the Peace, and died October 6, 1895. He reared three sets of children before he married my mother. The first were two boys. Their names are: Jim Treadway, (!ho was reared and died at Provencal, La., and Tom, who died at Alexandria, La. The second set were four girls and one boy: Laura, Gusta, Emma and Georgia Treadway. The boy was Dudley Tread­ way, but I don't know their elate of birth. The third set was one boy, Wilson Treadway, who died at Tioga, La.

The fourth set, one girl and one boy: Myrtie B. Treadway, born September 5, 1890, and Jesse W. Treadway ( the writer), born Febrnary 5, 1892. I am the only living son to James Wilson Treadway, the other boys having died.

'There are numbers of younger Treadway families that I even don't know. Of the first set of my father's children, the older boy, Jim, reared three boys: Luther, Walter and Orey, all born at Pro­ vencal, La. Jim's brother, Tom Treadway, reared four boys: Rockes, Lewis, Joe and Tom Treadway, Jr., born at Alexandria, La. and all still living and rearing families. Dudley, of the second set, reared four sons: Cleven, Willis, Dave and Henry Treadway. They are living around Provencal, La.

Yours respectfully, JESSE WHITTINGTON TREADWAY. HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

The following poem was written by A. E. Treadway in March 185.~. while in a storm on the Atlantic.

THE RAGING STORM

The billows high around us roll, The night is drear and dark; We naught can see save water now, Around our little Bark.

Yet still our gallant little craft, Moves onward to the shore; Three thousand miles of sea abaft, Three hundred yet before.

And while the pelting storm I hear, I think of friends on shore; And wonder if I shall appear Next week, in Baltimore.

Or whither e'er to-morrow dawns, Upon the sea and land ; My place shall be beneath the waves, All by divine command.

If to the latter I be doomed, I'll hope and murmur not, That my place will be better filled, When I shall be forgot.

And yet I hope the storm will cease, And I shall meet once more, Those friends I love so very dear, On Maryland's western shore.

But if my time on earth shall end, Before the dawn of day, I hope in Heaven they'll meet their friend, Aquila E. Treadway.

TO THE DEFENDERS OF BALTIMORE.

·written by Aquila E. Treadway (around 1850)

Remnant of those who long ago, When o'er our free and happy land War's beacon shed a blood red glow, Flew to their arms with heart and hand, HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

To guard the threshold of a home. The free hearts all its holy shrine Once more ye hear the rolling drum, And proudly carried our starry sign.

The minstrely song hath many a theme, But, Oh, the one most dwelt upon, Is that which paints the patriot's dream Of stubborn battles, fought and won, Of homes protected by good men, Who like a solid bulwark stood And drove the invader back again, O'er fields of sulphur, flame and blood.

Old hearts of oak, full many a year Hath bent your forms and bleached your hair, And furrows on your brow appear, Traced by the withering hand of care. But still ye seem to love the sound Of rolling drum and stirring fife, To bless the young who gather round And hear your tales of bloody strife.

Tell them again, how proudly streamed Our Stars and Stripes upon that day, When England's cross in sunlight gleam'd O'er chosen men, in bright array. Tell them of trenches rudely made, Of rusty arms along them lined, Of breastworks raised with hoe and spade, Of fearless hearts that beat behind.

Of rifle's crack, and winged lead, That carried death to gallant Ross, Tell them of ranks of ghastly dead, Of screaming trump and neighing horse. I ketch proud McHenry--trace the shells, That meteor-like streamed through the air, . And while ye speak your old heart swells When telling them that you were there.

May many a summer with its glow, Its zephyrs and its pleasant flowers, Yet cheer ye, e'er the trump shall blow That bids old Time sum up your hours. And when the grass grows o'er your head, May youth relate our story o'er, And say "This sleeper fought and bled, Upon the plains of Baltimore." HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

Whitsunday Communion, at 7th Street Church, Oswego, New York

He stands at his desk, That grave old man, With an eye still bright Though his cheek is wan. And his long ·white locks are Backward rolled From a noble brow of Classic mould; Whilst his form though bent By the weight of years Son:ewhat of its primal Beauty wears.

He opened the page of the sacred word­ Not a whisper low or Loud is heard; Even folly assumes a Serious look, As he readeth words of the Holy Book. And the thoughtless and Gay grow reverend then As he opens his lips In fervent prayer.

He stands as the grave Old prophet stood, Proclaiming the truth, Of the living Goel­ Pouring reproof in the Ears of men, Whose hearts are at ease In their folly and sin; With challenge of guilt Still unforgiven To the soul unfitted Unmeant for Heaven.

Ah, who can but honor That grand old man, As he weareth his four score Years and ten? Who hath made it the work Of his life to bless 370 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

Our world in its woe And wretchedness, Still guiding the feet (Which were wont to stray In the paths of sin) to The narrow way.

With a kindly heart, Through the lapse of years, He hath shan,d our joys, He hath wiped our tears; He hath bound the wreath On the brow of the bride, He hath stood by the couch When loved ones died, Pointing the soul to A glorious heaven, As the ties which bound It to earth were riven.

Methinks we will weep Another day When this good old man Shall have passed away. When the last of his ebbing Sands have run, When his labors are o'er And his work is clone Yes, we'll miss him when His tired hands we fold And his pulse is stilled, His heart is cold.

Miss him! Ah, yes, every look And tone- So familiar now-when Forever gone, will Thrill the heart with an Inward pain As we long and listen for Them in vain- For his spirit on Ang-els' Wings will speed Will b~ borne to that "Heaven Of rest" indeed.

Then our hearts will ache, but whv Should we weep, • For we know He giveth this Be'ovcd sle~p. HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 37 1

BISHOP OF CHICHESTER'S EULOGY ON THE DEATH OF A BEAUTIFUL WIFE

(Written more than three hundred years ago)

Sleep on my love in thy cold bed, Never to be disquieted. My last Good Night, there wilt not wake Till I thy fate shall overtake; Till age or grief, or sickness must Marry my body to that dust It so much loves, and fill the room My heart keeps empty in thy tomb.

Stay for me there, I will not fail To meet thee in that hollow vale; And think not much of my delay, I am already on the way. And follow thee with all the speed Desire can make or sorrow breed. Each minute is a short degree And every hour a step toward thee.

At night when I betake to rest, Next morn I rise nearer my rest Of life almost by eight hour's sail Than when sleep breathed his drowsy gale. 372 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

Reprinted from the Met ho dist Protestant, of Baltimore, Maryland, under date of July 18, 1917.

REV. SILAS B. TREDWAY, D. D.

It is our very sad duty to chronicle the death of Rev. Silas B. Tredway, D. D., one of the strong and leading men of the Maryland Conference.

Dr. Tredway retired from the active work at the last session of the Maryland Conference. Already the warning was very clear that the days of his mortal life were numbered. He was examined by the leading physicians of Baltimore, but they could hold out no hope of recovery to him. He began to prepare for the end with great self-possession and resignation. "He knew in whom he believed." and was content.

Our friend and brother passed away into the heavens at seven o'clock, Saturday morning, July 7. His funeral was held in North Baltimore Church on Monday afternoon, at 2 o'clock. Dr. F. T, i'agg, his lifelong friend, delivered the chief address. Dr. J. M. Sheridan also made a brief address. His body was laid away in the Presbyterian Cemetery at Govans, Maryland. So ended the life of this good minister of Jesus Christ, so far as this world is con­ cerned, but a larger life has begun for him which will never encl.

Dr. Tredway came into Conference from our Eutaw Church in 1872. He was delegate to the Conference at the session immed­ iately preceding his entrance. He served in the pastorate of the Maryland Conference for forty-five years, and laid aside the weapons of his warfare at the ripe age of three score and ten.

Our brother had not many of the advantages of education in his youth, but he was a most indefatigable student, and largely made up for his early disadvantages by the industry of later years. He was a student of history, geology, and the languages of no mean order.

Dr. Tredway was a man of most generous impulses, a friend of most loyal adherence to those whom he chose to hold a place in that charmed circle. He was a fine preacher, and a man of most irre­ proachable character, and intensely loyal to his church. He was always at work either in his study or on his field of labor, and his labors were fruitful in gathering many souls into the kingdom, and in building up character in the constituency of his congregations.

A good man has gone home, and the gospel has another dem­ onstration of its triumphant power to transform, and perfect the soul of man into the beauty of the character of 1he Christ, who stands forever as the ideal of all human and divine perfection. HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 373

May God comfort the bereaved family, and give joy even in their sorrow, in the consciousness that the place where a good man dies is privileged above the common ways of life, right on the verge of heaven.

ADDRESS AT FUNERAL SERVICE OF REV. S. B. TREDWAY

By F. T. Tagg, D. D,

During his last illness Dr. Tredway said to me: "I have spent forty-six years in preparation for the future life, and I am not afraid to die." He did not leave a dying testimony. He did not need to.

"Death cannot come to one untimely Who is fit to die."

His long and useful itinerant career of forty-five years, without a single break, is the best testimony of his faith, his fidelity and his consecration. He became an itinerant in 1872, and was given, in all nineteen appointments by the Maryland Annual Conference, in whose service he spent his entire ministerial career. He attended every session of the Conference, but one, and then he was detained by illness and death that visited his early itinerant home. He ac­ cepted cheerfully and gratefully the work assigned him, and devoted · himself to it with unflinching diligence and devotion. His unfal­ tering faith in the gospel, his passionate and intrepid loyalty to his Master, and his panting eagerness and enthusiasm to make his min­ istry efficient and fruitful, won for him the unfailing confidence of his brethren in the Conference, and of the churches that he served. He was affable and courteous without affectation or obsequ1ousness, he was firm and resolute in his convictions, without austerity or ar­ rogance; he was devoutly pious without cant or fluster. His tem­ peramental cheerfulness, his keen and quiet humor; his artless sin­ cerity; his well-stored mind, and his warm and loving heart made him a cherished friend, a welcome guest, and a delightful compan­ ion. No man among us was more frank and fraternal with his brethren or more guileless and sincere in all his relations in life. His own ingenuous character made it difficult for him to believe that men are willingly guilty of craftiness, duplicity or subterfuge.

Brother Tredway's school life was limited to a few years in very ordinary schools, that were kept open only six or seven months in the year, and these schools were under the direction and control of incompetent teachers, with no effective methods and no systema­ tized course of study. Before he was eighteen years old he joined the army and continued in it until the close of the Civil War. As a 374 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY soldier he won the respect and confidence of his associates, from the commander of the regiment down to the last private. This ripened into a friendship with the survivors that continued as long as life lasted. He was in a ni.1mber of battles, and in one of them re­ ceived a wound that physically impaired him for the remainder of his life.

After his return from the army he became converted at the old Eutaw Churoh on Harford Avenue extended. Rev. John Edgar Read and Rev. A. J. Walter were converted in the same church, and Rev. J. M. Sheridan came from the same circuit. He always felt near to these men, and always spoke of them with tender interest and affection The charge in which he held his membership sent him, as its delegate, to the Annual Conference at Chestertown in 1871. The next year he became a candidate for the itinerancy and was received as a licentiate. Though he had not been a member of church more than a few years, he was not a stranger to the denom­ ination. Through the ministry of his uncle, Thomas Tredway, a blind preacher, in Harford County, a number of the Tredways had become identified with our church. 'Thomas Tredway became a pioneer of Methodist Protestantism in Harford County. He estab­ lished Mount Tabor, on Deer Creek Circuit, which appears to be the first Methodist Protestant Church in that county. Here a number of the older heads of the Tredway family are buried. Thomas Tredway organized other churches in the county, some of which are on Susquehanna Circuit and others on Belair Circuit. He was a delegate to the Annual Conferences of 1840 and 1841.

Doctor Tredway was not a Methodist Protestant by accident. Heredity and associations linked him up with the heroes who fought the ecclesiastical battles of 1828. When he entered the min­ istry, he recognized and deplored his limitations and the deficien­ cies of his mental equipment. In the first year of our acquaintance he said to me: "I don't know much and I must depend upon older and better trained men to help me out." He soon learned that his most dependable tutor was himself. He was a keen observer, an apt learner, and a diligent student. He disclosed much wisdom in the selection of his books, of which he had many. It is no ordin­ ary mind that can wisely select books. He never failed to embrace an opportunity to acquire knowledge. In every charge he found friends who could be useful to him in the pursuit of learning and information. He was never too proud to admit his limitations, nor too busy to add to his store of knowledge. In the very best sense that it can be spoken, he was a splendid ( I might rather say an ex­ traordinary) specimen of the self-made man.

His love of books became a passion; study obsessed both his mind and his heart. His love of history became a dominating en­ thusiasm. With unwearied diligence he read Josephus, Rollin, Raw­ linson, Hallem, Grote, Plutarch, D' Aubigne, Macauley, Grau, Mot­ ley and many others. His passion for history was augmented by a HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 37S splendid memory that could retain it. He became a student of German, Hebrew, Greek and Latin, and made considerable pro­ gress in these studies. With a keen sense for details, he would trace a word to its original roots to get clearer meanings, he would fol­ low up a tradition to its source with tireless industry, and delve into the deeper meanings of scripture with unwearied patience and zeal. A book that disclosed a satisfying interpretation, or a sermon that set a text or a doctrine of the vVord in a clearer light always com­ manded his close attention and excited his sympathetic interest. A well-equipped teacher in the community school, a visiting preach­ er in his home, a Jewish rabbi, or a Catholic priest-anybody that could tell him something that he did not know, or explain something that he did not understand was interviewed and questioned to sat­ isfy his insatiable thirst for knowledge. Every field of science in­ terested him, every subject of technical knowledge lured him to careful investigation. Every theological problem was accepted as a challenge for thoughtful inquiry. As a side line he studied mineral­ ogy, and came to know more about it than any man in the Confer­ ence except Dr. Holmes. This indicates the many-sidedness of his alert and inquiring mind. Most of his charges were circuits. Some· of them were large fields, with complex problems to meet. These demanded much pastoral activity and oversight. He was conscien­ tiously scrupulous in the preparation of his sermons, and devoutly solicitous to discover the mind of the Spirit. His supreme aim was to declare the truth, and proclaim it to his hearers with a con­ vincing force that would win them to his Lord. One cannot but wonder that with all his manifold labor he found time to read so much, and learn so well. He never attempted to impress people with a show of learning. He was as far removed from fustian and pedentry as from egotism and conceit. He was too sincere to prac-­ tice even a harmless deception. He was never guilty of the sin of deceiving others, nor silly enough to deceive himself.- When he was given the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity he· appreciated it. But I never heard him refer to it. Nobody 1tsked why thrs honor was conferred. We all knew He was honestly making him­ self worthy of it.

He was one of the most generous men I ever knew. His sal­ aries were always meager, yet every Conference was a witness to his liberality. To every collection taken in the Conference for ben­ evolent or religious work he was always one of the first and the most generous contributors. I have known him, at several Confer­ ence sessions, to give so lavishly that he had to borrow money to pay his way home. He gave to every collection that he was required to take on his charge, and usually headed the list. More than once have I chided him with injustice to himself and his family for the lavish manner in which he contributed. He always paid his debts. _When money was scarce he would economize, and sometimes sac­ rifice in other directions that his bills might be met. Probably no man among us owes the church less for what it has done for him than Dr. Tredway, yet we never had a man among us who in word HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY and deed proved himself more cordially appreciative of what the church meant to him, and what it did for him.

He rejoiced in his friendships. He loved his brethren. Heap­ preciated the Conference fellowship. Just recently he said to me: "I have many tried and true friends. The ministers of the Confer­ ence are all good friends of mine, and there are lots of people in the laity that are kind and nohle friends, and I appreciate them all." He was quick to discover and appreciate the virtues of men and he was quite as slow to suspect men of insincerity or to impugn their motive, or accuse them of evil. And what a friend he was! All that he expected a friend to be that he was. He was prompt to ex­ press appreciation, but far too kind to flatter. He and I met at Shiloh Camp in 1872. That acquaintance ripened into a confiding, inspiring and unfailing friendship that was never marred by a dis­ cordant note. We were more than brother ministers in fraternal fellowship. We were more than friendly associates, we were chums. We shared each other's confidence without reserve. Our friendship was like a sacrament, a pledge of love and of undying devotion. I never discovered in him a streak of insincerity or self-seeking. He would not mislead even by the callidity of silence. He was far too unaffected to be stilted or stagey, and far too earnest in his work to be artificial or play a part. He had the gift of recognizing merit without flattering, and of characterizing human failure without un­ charity. He was a friend enough to be candid as well as kind, true enough to differ with him without changing his feelings towards him.

"Heaven gives us friends to bless the present scene, Removes them to prepare us for the next."

How comforting that the friendship of the children of Goel loses nothing by death but its alloy; failings disappear; the infirmi­ ties of capricious nature pass away, but the virtues of those whose faces we shall see no more, grow greater and more sacred, when be­ held through the shades of the sepulchre. When we see the sun set we know that it shall come up with new glory in the morning, and so when we see the bodies of our friends borne to the voiceless dwelling of the tomb, we know that they shall rise again, with not one element of friendship eliminated. Every night of death is fol­ lowed by a resurrection morning. 'The faith of the Christian is not suspended upon human opinions. It is firmly rooted in the resurrec­ tion of Jesus Christ. "Because He lives, we shall live also." God's children shall rise again with glorified bodies upon which the second death has no power. The omnipotent arm of God will bring them forth to glory and honor and immortality. How these promises of Scripture light up with brightness every sepulchre of the righteous. How this doctrine of the resurrection throws a halo of glory over every Christian headstone, and makes each open grave a postern­ gate leading into glory. HISTORY OF THE TREDWA y F AMIL y 377

"Is darkness found in that cloudless sky­ Veiling the life that is passed; Forgotten the friends that saw him die All faithful and true to the last?"

The King eternal in radiant light will banish any shade of night.

"We cannot say, we will not say That he is dead, He is just away! With a cheery smile And a wave·of the hand He has wandered far into an unknown land, And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be since he is there. And you, Oh you, who the wildest yearn For the old-time step and the glad return, Think of him faring on, as dear In the love of There, as the love of Here, Think of him still as the same, I say, He is not dead, he is just away."

From Bettie Treadway, of 132 Park Street, Dayton, Ohio:-

I have been collecting material on my grandfather, Robert, and my great grandfather Peter Treadway. My great grandfather, as far as I have found out, came from South Carolina to Virginia and thence to Kentucky, where our branch of Treadways still reside. My great grandfather, when a boy of 12, emigi;ated to Kentucky from South Carolina where he and others settlers built thefr homes.

My great grandfather's children were as follows :-Robert, Amie, John and Jim. Robert, the oldest son, had nine children. My mother, Bettie, was the oldest child. Here is the list of Robert Treadway's children: Bettie, William, Drusillia, Molly, Lucy, Peter, Jane, Louise and James. My grandfather's wife was Nancy Allen.

I hope I have helped you in the genealogy of the Southern branch and I would be interested in hearing more about the English and Southwestern branch from you. I remain, your cousin,

Bascom Treadway, of Hamilton, Ohio, writes as follows:-

In reply to your letter in regard to the Treadway generation of Kentucky, I am delighted to know that some one can get a record of them, for it will be some record. There are three different sets of Treadways in Kentucky, all distant related to each other. I will give you one of each generation which can give you the most infor­ mation and later send you a record of my immediate family.

Interesting Letter from Mrs. Harry C. Miller, of Pittsburgh, Pa.

William T. Tredway, Park Building, Pittsburgh. Pa.

My Dear Mr. Tredway:-

- I am sorry to intrude on the time of a busy man, but for some time.I have wanted to ask you if your family was the Tredways of Maryland.

My great-great ·grandmother was Elizabeth Tredway, of Har­ ford County, Maryland, and I have always had some curiosity to see the family book, if such a thing is in existence. Can you tell me? She was, as I have been told, the second wife of Thomas Miles Her father's name was Daniel and I think her mother's name Sarah Norris (seepage 61). They came to Pennsylvania around 1790, set­ tled across from McKeesport, Pa., were driven out by the Indians and went to Mercer County, Pa. My grandmother was born where the Mellon National Bank is located on the Smithfield Street site, Pittsburgh, Pa. She lived to be ninety-four and one-half years, died in 1916 and it was from her that I have this information. Hannah Miles, the daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Tredway Miles, was her mother and she was born in Harford County, Mary­ land, November 5, 1785.

Thanking you for any information that you can give me, I am, yours very truly,

It is a pleasure to record the genealogy of these two men who have taken such a kindly interes: in the Tredway Genealogy. They are sons of James B. Tredway (page So) born September 26, 1829, who married Mary Susan Wyley, of Baltimore, Md., June 5, 1858, and migrated to Ohio in 1873. Their father, James B. Tredway, was the son of Daniel N.

In addition to Oscar and William Smith Tredway, the children of James B. Tredway and Mary Susan Wyley, and who came from Garsuch Mills, Md., to Westchester, Ohio, there were Decatur Tredway, born in 1861, and Clarence Tredway, born in 1864. Os­ car Val Tredway was born in 1868 and William Smith Tredway was born June 29, 1874.

An interesting letter from W. S. Tredway (William Smith Tredway) under elate of July 19, 1930, among other things says:

"Sylvia Tredway Johnson is my daughter, the only child living.

"My daughter while spending a vacation down in Kentucky last HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

summer came across some Tredways down in Berea, Kentucky, and they in turn advised her of some more of the relatives in Lancas­ ter, Kentucky, one in particular they wished her to call upon, and that was a Judge Tredway of Lancaster, Kentucky, so if you have had no connection with this branch, it might be well to get in touch with him, as some valuable information might be obtained from him, as for some unknown reason we have never gotten clown that way, any how, to look them up, since Sylvia gave us this information. * *

"My uncle, Daniel Tredway, who lived with my father for awhile after he came out here, finally roamed farther west, and located in or near Quincy, Illinois, where I understand accumulated more than a thousand acres of rich land, and has been dead for a long time, such information came to us about 15 years ago, when his daughter, Mary, came out here to make us a visit, securing in­ formation as to us boys, and after her return we were served with a notice of the death of our aunt, Ken Merridth, tlmt she had cut us off with one dollar each, this, aside from the informal infor­ mation that our cousin Mary had married some farmer boy out there, is the last we have ever heard from that branch of our family.

"Should you, or any of your family, happen to be out this way, we would be more than pleased to have you give us a ring, and we will come clown town and get you and have you pay us a visit at our home. * * * "Sincerely yours, W. S. TREDWAY."

Oscar Val Tredway married Ann Hesion. They have one son, John Harvey Tredway.

Maye Treadway Smith, of Memphis, Tenn., writes as follows:-

My grandfather was E. Treadway, Esq. He was a very prom­ inent gentleman in his vicinity. He was Justice of the Peace in At­ tala County, Miss. for 26 years. He was a highly esteemed citizen whom all, far and near, went to for advice whether concerning the law or not, and was Grand Master of the Masonic Lodge in Missis­ sippi a number of years. He was the father of two boys and two girls. The two girls married and reared a family and are both dead. Their names were Mary and Emma. The sons were Bob and J. J. Bob married and reared a family and moved to Louisiana, where he died, and the remainder of his family are in that state now. My father was J. J. Treadway, one of the best known planters and farm­ ers of Attala County, Mississippi. He reared four daughters and one son. The oldest daughter, Myrtle, who married P. P. Duncan, a farmer, and still lives near the old home in Mississippi. The next daughter, Maye, married Dr. W. S. Asquith, who only lived five years, and died l.eaving two small sons. She married again to J. W. Smith of Texas, who deserted her almost at the birth of another son, so I am telling you now about myself. In the meantime my father had died and my mother made her home with me. So now I have my three boys almost reared. The oldest is 15, the next 14 and the young one is ro, three as fine boys as you will find. The next daughter Willie L. married S. Campbell of Tennessee, an electric­ ian by trade; they have one child, a daughter, 16 years.

The son, Leon W. Treadway, lives at Greenwood, Mississippi. He is married and has a son, Leon Jr., and a daughter. His child­ ren are small. My brother Leon is a Mason and a musician. He is engineer at the light and power plant of Greenwood, Mississippi, and lives at 700 Parkway, and my youngest sister died at the age of 14 and was buried in the churchyard at our old home where she was reared.

My grandfather, E. Treadway, came to Mississippi from South Carolina and his people were prominent, but their names I do not remember. The Treadways of Louisiana I can't give you their ad­ dress, but one son of Bob Treadway was Jim Treadway, Tioga, La. the last I heard from him. There are also some Treadways in Kentucky, Delevan, Kentucky, near Ida Mae, Kentucky. I think his initials were J. M. or M. J, Treadway and he was County Judge and reared a promising family. There is a Mr. Blaine Treadway, 821 Breedlove street, Mem­ phis, and Mrs. H. E. Treadway, 764 North Manassas street, Mem­ phis, and V. R. Treadway, 449 Prescott street, Memphis. but I do not know if they are relations of ours or not. We have never tried to find out, really had never given it much thought as there are al­ ways different families by the same name in a city.

Very truly yours, MAYE (TREADWAY) SMITH. HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY

Ralph B. Treadwwy, Attorney at Law, Glen Ellyn, N. Y., writes the following interesting description of himself and ancestors.

I will give you the following information in respect to myself and ancestry and will be pleased to amplify this if you desire ad­ ditional information as far as I have it.

I had one brother, Ogilvie, who died in infancy and long be­ fore I was born. I had no sisters. My father's name was \Villiam B., and he was a brother of John M., and Ogilvie C. My uncle. Ogilvie C. had no children. My uncle John Marshall had one child who is still living, Mrs. J. S. Lawrence of Sioux City, Iowa; she has a married daughter who has children and an unmarried son, and I think probably would be greatly interested in your genealogy.

My father died in September of 1899. His two brothers died later. I have not the dates but can get them if you desire that in­ formation. Do you also desire the names of their respective wives?

My father and his two brothers spelled the name 'Tredway. My grandfather Bela R. Treadway used the letter "a" in the name.

My grandfather, so far as I know. had only one brother, Ralph Rodney, a batchelor.

According to my records my father was born in Warren, Her­ kimer County, New York, January 27, 1835; my grandfather Bela R. (see pages 26 and 36) was born in Springfield, Otsego County, Illinois, March 3, 1796 and married Philotheta Marshall who was born in Colchester, Connecticut, June 22, 1797. My great grand­ father was David Treadway, who was born March 5, 1769 and whose wife was Rebecca Warner. His father was also David Tread­ way born April 25, 1743, who married Sarah Gustin.

I do not have any record as to the place of birth of my great­ great-grandfather or my great-grandfather, nor of the date of their respective deaths.

I have a letter from Alpheus Treadway from Colchester, Con­ necticut, elated September 19, 1798 or 1793 ( I cannot determine which) addressed to David Treadway at Warren, New York, as "Dear Cousin", which refers to sending something "to be left with you, your father, or at Mr. John Henry's or as may be convenient." Also speaks of "your grandmother" as having been very sick this summer. "Uncle Joshua Foote is dead" and closes as addressed to "Mr. David Treadway, Jr." from which I infer the letter was ad­ dressed to my great-grandfather.

I also have a letter from Elijah Treadway from Salem ( no state given) dated February IO, 1828, addressed to David 'Tread­ way, of Warren, New York, signed "your affectionate uncle" and 390 HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY uses the expressions "your Uncle Alpheus" and "give my love to your wife Rebekah."

I assume from the above that my great-grandfather or my great great-grandfather David or possibly both of them came from Col­ chester to New York prior to r 798.

I visited Colchester about a year ago and from a brief examina­ tion of the Town Clerk's records found the name of David Tread­ way as having married Sarah Gustin, which I feel identifies my great-great-grandfather with Colchester.

I also found that there was a further ancestral line at Col­ chester, which apparently originated from a Treadway from Massachusetts, but I have mislaid my memorandum and cannot give you the exact details. RALPH B. TREADWAY.

D. C. Treadway, Plastering Contractor, of Akron, Ohio, States:-

W e would like to have a complete list of our family in your "Tredway Genealogy," but to do so I would have to visit Caldwell, Ohio, my birthplace, first. My father was born in Washington County, and moved to Caldwell with his twin sister, Hannah. He also had a brother Henry. You could write William LaGrange, son of Hannah Treadway LaGrange, Caldwell, Ohio.

Yours very sincerely,

MR. DAVID C. (LOLA J. BLAKE) TREADWAY.

F. M. Lutes, 'Writing from Durant, Oklahoma, States as Follows:­

My grandfather, \Villiam M. Treadway, of Owsley County, Kentucky, spelled his name Treadway, so guess from the way you spell your name we are in no way related.

I am the oldest grandchild of that William W. Treadway. I was born August 31, 1844. Should I live to see the 31st day of August, 1930, I will be 83 years old. I don't wear glasses to read and write. And sure I ain a lifelong Republican.

H. H. Branchaud, of Rutland, Vermont, writes as follows:-

y our very interesting letter relating to the Tredway genealogy received and I send the following to explain my interest in the Tredway family.

I am assisting a friend, named Sawyer, in tracing his family. He is a descendant from Thomas Sawyer, one of the founders of Lancaster, Mass., who married Mary Prescott, daughter of John Prescott, "Father of Lancaster." Prescott, the historian, is of this family.

James Sawyer, son of Thomas, had a son Ephriam who married according to Marlboro, Massachusetts records, Elizabeth George, July 4, 1700. The same records show the births of five children born to Ephriam, one of them, Jacob Sawyer, born December 14th, 1706, is the ancestor we are interested in-more about him later.

We find no record of the death of Elizabeth George, wife of Ephriam Sawyer, but October 17th, 1717, Ephriam was living in Windham, Connecticut, and on that elate he gives a deed to John Keys of land, formerly belonging to Jonathan Treadway, in Marl­ boro, Mass.; this land was part of that left to Treadway's heirs, one seventh part, and his wife signed the deed Elizabeth Treadway, ac­ cording to Sawyer's records in the New England Genealogical and Historical Society, copied from the Middlesex County, Mass., deeds by Mary Sawyer.

Which Elizabeth was the mother of Ephriam Sawyer's children? HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 393

Jacob Sawyer, the ancestor, married in 1730 Prudence Standish, of Preston, Connecticut, great grand-daughter of Miles Standish.

We have not, as yet, been able to learn who this Elizabeth Treadway was, when she married Ephriam, nor when his first wife died, if it is a fact that his first wife was a George.

If Elizabeth_ Treadway was the mother of Jacob Sawyer I can send you the address of several Sawyers who are descendants of Jacob Sawyer and Prudence Standish and who should be interested in the Tredway Genealogy.

Sincerely yours, H. H. BRANCHAUD.

Miss Alice C. Treadway, of Dayton, Ohio, gives a brief description.

I am writing in regards to the letters received by my mother, Mrs. Sarah C. Treadway; my sister Miss Dorothy Lenore Tread­ way and my letter Miss Alice C. Treadway. I do not know what my brother, Cecil Albert Treadway, is planning to do, but he will answer his own letter.

Would, you care to tell us how you got our names? As the other Treadways do not· understand how you came to write to us when they had been in Dayton longer than we have. The Tread­ ways interested are:

Mr. and Mrs. Harry Treadway, 1329 Pursell Avenue, Dayton, Ohio, and his two sisters, Mrs. Leota May Treadway Kelble, 30 West Herman Avenue; Mrs. Lena Treadway Krieger, 55 East Hill­ crest Avenue. Their brother, Leslie Treadway, died several years ago, leaves one son who resides in Middletown, Ohio, but I didn't learn his name. They perhaps will interest him.

I have lived in Dayton, all my life but never was acquainted with the other Treadways till we received your letters. The parents of Harry Treadway spelt their name Tredway and they are related to the Greers, for some of the Greers are buried bn their familv burying ground north of Dayton. I believe some of the Greers at­ tended the reunion August 19, 1922, at Knox County, Ohio.

My sister, Dorothy Lenore Treadway Blount, was married September r, 1927, and died October 2r, 1929, age 24 years, leaving an eleven weeks' old baby boy.

Mr. William B. Treadway, 621 Lafayette Avenue, Columbus, Indiana, is my third cousin. Yours sincerely,

H. H. Tredway, Cashier of the Home Savings Bank, of M eta,mora, Ohio, writes the following:-

I am the son of one Horace Tredway, who is vice president of our bank. Father is now 84 years of age (written in 1925), will be 85 next May. He has been very active up to March rst, at this time he took the flu and it has slowed him up some. He has been a very active man and I am sure you would like to meet him.

Our family attended the reunion at Warsaw last year and en­ joyed the Tredways. My father has a very fine orange grove near Leesburg, Florida, and should you go his way, don't fail to go and see him.

IN CONCLUSION

After the long years spent by the Rev. Silas B. Tredway in gathering the data in the early part of this book, and the twelve years work by the compiler, the last two intensive work, it is with regret that we close the forms and necessarily leave out many of those whom we had wished to have delineated before closing. Who­ ever hereafter down through the generations that follow may un­ dertake a similar publication, will find as we hwve found, out of the 400 city directories from which we took names and addresses of various Tredways over the country, that there will be many who will express a keen interest and promise data, but from hurry in their daily work and other responsibilities thrown upon them, will lay aside an invitation to help work out that part which is of the greatest interest to their own immediate family and its connection. For this reason in closing this volume we have inserted a number of memoranda pages on which those who are fortunate enough to receive a copy of this genealogy, may insert data for present and future reference.

We are sorry for those whose families are not herein delinea­ ted, but with a sense of obligation to those who have contributed inl',ormation and are entitled to copies of the genealogy, this volume closes here. HISTORY OF THE TREDWAY FAMILY 401
