Treadway and Buffington Family INTRODUCTION The material on pages one through thirteen of this collection of records was furnished by Mr. John Frank Treadaway of Madison. Georgia, who died in 1950, because of a breakdown in health. Mr. Treadaway was forced to discontinue his genealogical research which, as will be observed, he confined to his forebear, the Revolutionary Soldier. Daniel Treadaway, of South Carolina, from whom most of the Treadaways in the South descend. Knowing that Mr. Treadaway was desirous of sharing his records. I am including them along with my own and those of others. After reading Mr. Francis Marion Treadaway's brief history (beginning on page 5) of the Daniel Treadaway family, one cannot help being impressed with his apparent determination to give only the facts, and if in doubt he would say "if I have been correctly informed", etc. Therefore. I fully accept his statement as being true that Richard Treadaway, of Orangeburg District. S. C.,(nor Barnwell County), father of Daniel, the Rev. Sol., did immigrate, with his family from New Jersey to South Carolina although as yet no proof of this has been established. In view of the above. I decided it would be advisable to include in my collection the Treadway records as found in the N. J. Archives in conjunction with those furnished by Miss Helen Hall of Omaha. Nebraska, on her Henry Treadway of New Jersey. Also. Tread(a)way records from others are likewise included. Permission by these contributors to use such records is greatly appreciated. One can readily see that this work represents considerable research, and it is hoped this collection of both Treadaway and Buffington family records will prove helpful to many people interested in these families. Mrs. Nora Hawkins 531 Page Ave., N. E. Atlanta 7, Georgia Page 1 of 96 ** PAGE BREAK ** Treadway and Buffington Family THE ENGLISH FAMILY OF TREDWAY The family of TREDWAY and its history in England goes back to as early as 1066, or thereabout, and to THOMAS TREDWAY of Agmondesham (vulg. Ammersham), Bucks, (the second brother of HENRY TREDWAY) who married daughter of _____ Duncombe. Legend has it that the earlier history of the family dates back to Normandy, on the continent, and to the time of WILLIAM. the Conqueror, who brought over a subject by the name of TREJAE (or something similar). This subject married into English blood with result the name became TREDWAY. However, the explanation given by many, and good authority, indicates origin of the name begins with John De Treddewy, (Exch. R.), a thoroughfare in use in England as late as the seventeenth century. At any rate, the English ancestry included ROBERT TREDWAY. Esq., one of the Readers of the Society of the Inner Temple, 30th and 39th. Elizabeth, called The. in Vis. Linc. 1634, in Cell Armorum; and ROBERT TREDWAY of Easten, near Stanford. Northamptonshire, married to one Margaret, daughter of Guy Fisher of Buckden Co., Huntington; and SIR WALTER TREDWAY. a Knight, in the army of Richard, (the lionhearted), and participated in the Crusades. The Coat of Arms of the TREDWAY Family originated with SIR WALTER. and the crest above the shield symbolizes his deed of bravery in slaying a Turk threatening the life of a superior while a soldier in the Crusades. "History of the Tredway Family", by William T. Tredway of Pittsburgh. Pennsylvania, published in 1930, goes into detail as to the early English history of the family and its historical connections with Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth. Members of the family migrated to America at various times, and were in the New England States as early as 1640, Nathaniel Treadway, brother of Josiah, was in Sudbury, Mass., before that date, and died there July 20, 1669. The family was well established in America before the Revolution with the name spelled TREDWAY, TREADWAY, TREDAWAY and Treadaway. Obviously all are related and sprang from the original English family. John F.

Eight children are mentioned; however, only four are named; DUDLEY [Treadaway], JOHN C. [Treadaway], JAMES A. [Treadaway], and SARA W. [Treadaway].

Page 8 of 96 ** PAGE BREAK ** Treadway and Buffington Family DANIEL Treadaway AND DESCENDANTS IN THE SOUTH Genealogy of Francis Marion (Frank) Treadaway as written by him in 1855, and recorded in his own handwriting in Personal Record Book, pages 72-76, This book now property of R. L. Treadaway, his son, residing in 1939 at Jacksonville. Alabama. To those acquainted with geography it is known that in the mountains in the northern part of Georgia in the northeast corner of Rabun County rises a small stream called Persimmon Creek, which winds its way through the hills until it empties into the Saluda River. Sometime, perhaps in the year 1808 or 1810, my father emigrated from South Carolina, then Pendleton, now Pickens District, to Rabun Co., and settled on the creek above mentioned; where he resided for several years. But before I proceed further I will give the reader a short history of my genealogy. My father's name was William [Treadaway] who was the son of Daniel Treadaway, and if my memory is correct, was his oldest son. My grandfather had, if my memory serves me right, five sons and two daughters. The name of his sons were Ezekiel [Treadaway], Ellis [Treadaway], Richard [Treadaway], Thomas [Treadaway] and William [Treadaway], my father; the two daughter's names were Ruth [Treadaway] and Elizabeth [Treadaway]. My grandfather was a faithful soldier in the: Revolutionary War, and had two horses shot under him at the siege of Augusta. Georgia, if I have been rightly informed. I know not how long he served, perhaps most of the seven years. He was born in New Jersey and partly raised there. I can give but little account of his parents, as my grandfather was an illiterate man, and as he left his payments at an early are I have never been able to ascertain "when or where he died. I think they cane from Scotland to New Jersey. My grandfather, when at about the age of fifteen years. made a profession of religion and joined the Baptist. Church, and after a number of years he rejoined the sane denomination and was re-baptized, offering as his reason for so doing that he was deluded or mistaken in his first profession and after getting a more sure hope, and religion, of course, ruch on the utility of adult immersion, was dipped the second tine. In late years he lost his memory and remained so at intervals as long as he lived, though he frequently obtained his right mind, during which he always expressed a desire of having his right mind when he came to die, which request was granted and after laid upon the bed of death he recovered his faculties; and died the victorious and happy death of the righteous, apparently in his full mind more so than he had been for a long time previous to that period. My grandmother's name, previous to her marriage, was Mary Buffington. Of her connections I can give no account save one brother, whose name was [Oburn Obern] Oborn Buffington, and I am of the impression that he was her only brother and that they two were the only children of their parents, my grandmother's parents came from England probably before her birth or shortly after. She lived several years after the death of my grandfather. She had been a member of the Methodist Church for a number of years and no doubt is numbered with the blessed. My mother's name before marriage was Dorcas Cox, daughter of Philip Cox, who settled early in South Carolina and was a saddler by trade. I can Page 9 of 96 ** PAGE BREAK ** Treadway and Buffington Family trace his genealogy no further. He lived many years a member of the Primitive Baptist Church and died a member of the same. I hope one day seeing him in the Fields of Glory, which, if I do, will be my first sight of him for I never saw him on this earth; if so I do not recollect it. My grandmother (my mother's mother) before marriage was Nina Taylor and her father's name was Lewis Taylor. She had a brother named [Zachary] Zachry Taylor and also one named Richard Taylor. The latter was probably the father of the late President Zachry Taylor, the twelfth President of the United States. But about this I an not so very certain as the names Lewis and Richard were very common names in the connections and so was the name Zachry. Richard Taylor emigrated from North Carolina to some of the Western States many, many years ago a died. I believe, in the State of Kentucky not far from Boone’s Lick. My uncle Ezekiel Treadaway became an invalid when a young man but he soon recovered only to become again stricken after his marriage. He was still stricken in 1855 and of no service to his family., He has a son who is a Methodist Minister, and two others living in the city of Rome. Georgia in 1855, and one son William Treadaway who was killed in the Mexican War in Mexico. Those who are still surviving of this family I am happy to say are doing well and it is an honor to my poor uncle that these children are doing so Well, as he has been unable most of his life to do anything for his family. They all. I believe, are members of the Methodist Church. Young William, who died as above mentioned in the Mexican War, professed awhile before he closed his eyes in death and exhorted his fellow soldiers to prepare to meet him in a better world, and he no doubt is now enjoying the pleasure and bliss of that world. My uncle Thomas Treadaway was first aroused from his slumber in wickedness by the preaching of that eloquent man, to wit. Robert J. Cowart when riding, if I mistake not, the Rome. Georgia Circuit. My uncle was converted, as I say, under his preaching, and joined the Methodist Church but afterwards joined the Missionary Baptist Church. My uncle Richard was a member of the Methodist Church when he died, if I mistake not. My uncle Ellis was also a Methodist. My great uncle, Oborn Buffington, before alluded to, was never a member of any church that I know of. He settled many years ago on the Oconee River in Hall County. Georgia, where he lived and died. His children who are yet living - for several are dead - are living still in the same settlement. My father, some years after his marriage, joined the Primitive Baptist Church of which he continued a remember as long as he lived. I was born in the year of our Lord 1832, I cannot recollect what year my father emigrated from South Carolina to Rabun County. Georgia but suffice it to say that he was one of the early settlers in that county; perhaps it was about the year 1808 or 1810, I recollect to have heard my mother say that it was in the winter season when they moved to that county and that snow … Page 10 of 96 ** PAGE BREAK ** Treadway and Buffington Family (Balance of this, the final page, has been torn out of the book, evidently removed by someone for the family records contained therein.

Shelby Smith Comment by Mr. John F. Treadaway: Very little is known about Ellis Treadaway except that he was a member of the Methodist Church and resided in north-west Georgia, in or near Rome, before 1855. It is thought that he and his son. William (who married the Indian girl) were iron workers and brick masons and built several brick structures in Walker County. Ga. for the Indians.

Service Daniel Treadaway W-1815. North Carolina. Anson Co., 18 September 1837 Mary Treadaway, aged 82 years. on her oath declares - That she is the widow of Daniel Treadaway, deceased, who was a soldier in the War of the Revolution and who died on 27 September 1824; and her husband often told her he was 2 years older than herself. When she was married she resided in Cumberland Co., N. C. on Little River, running into Cape Fear, not far from Fayetteville. She was married by David Smith, who lived near her, on 8 August 1776; she believes it to be the forepart of the war. Daniel Treadaway was a soldier and belonged to the Militia Horse Company stationed at Fayetteville and to the best of her recollections she was informed by her husband, before the company left town, that her husband was employed by some of the officers the names she does not recall, for the purpose of recruiting men for the service, and continued there to the spring of 1778. He then moved to South Carolina to her brothers near Broad River, and after being there a short time he went into the service of his country again. Her husband hired her brother. Jacob Jones, as a substitute - he was in the Battle of Briar Creek and the siege of Augusta. She has no recollection of the length of his service. She thinks, in the spring of the year after the close of the war, her husband moved to Anson Co., N. C., in the settlement of the Threadgills and resided there to the day of his death. She has no proof of his service and knows no person by whom she can prove it. Her husband kept a record in the old Prayer Book of his children's names and ages, the following can now be understood: 1. Richard, son of Daniel and Mary Treadway, b. 13 Sept 1777 2. John, son of Daniel and Mary, his wife, b. 16 Jan, 1779 3. Eliza, daughter of Daniel and Mary Treadway, b. 19 Sept. _____ 4. Ann, daughter of Daniel and Mary Treadway, b. 21 March _____ 5.

He moved into the county and lived near my father and he died about 13 years past. Page 23 of 96 ** PAGE BREAK ** Treadway and Buffington Family I believe Mary, his widow, to be the age she states or older. She appears much older. She has been supported by the County eight years.

R. Watson. Chief Clerk Page 37 of 96 ** PAGE BREAK ** Treadway and Buffington Family The following data is taken from a record of the early settlement of Lower Loup Creek. Fayette County. West Virginia (1798-1865) by L. Neil Darlington. In 1824 Jesse Treadway and wife. Mahala, sold the John Lykens place of 123 acres, at Page, to Andrew Lykens, for $600.00. Then, or soon after, they moved to Dunloup Creek. Jesse was then a young man of twenty-four years. His wife was Mahala Johnson, and her mother was an Edwards, of that family which has recently been trying to reclaim valuable property in the heart of New York City, on the ninety nine year lease. In 1861, John Treadway, son of Jesse, came from the Summerlee section and built this house on the head of Loup Creek at the mouth of the Lewis Blake hollow, near the foot of the mountain. He bought his land of J. J. Coleman. The war was then under way and Mr. Treadway had some misgivings about his horse, a valuable farm animal. Knowing the preference of soldiers for riding over walking, he kept the horse hidden in the dense thicket at the mouth of the hollow. Believing though that the animal would ultimately be discovered and taken, he took advantage of the offer of Coleman to accept the horse in exchange for the land - land being the one thing soldiers could not carry away. In later years John lived at the Henry Arthur site just above where his son, William Treadway, lives now. William, whose name is not included in the previously quoted census of John Treadway's family, because he was born in 1851, is a successful farmer living near the old John Treadway place, Though past eighty, he has a good mind and contributed much data on the war, and on pre-war settlement. When John Treadway came to the upper part of the creek. Jesse Treadway, his father, was living at the mouth of Taylor Branch. Jesse had been moving around quite a bit. After leaving the Page section in 182h, he had gone to Dunloop Creek, where he bought land of John Bowyer. In 1832, of Stuart, in 1836, and of Philo Platt in 1840, He appears by two road orders which will be quoted below, to have been living at the mouth of Carter Branch in 1803 but by 1843 he had moved away again. He finally acquired land of J. J. Coleman in the head of White Oak in 1870, and built a log house there. He was a stone mason by trade, and the fancy arched fireplace of his old house shows what he could do with rough stones. Census of 1880: Jesse Treadway 80 Mahala 80 James 18 Others of the family already married and scattered were: John, William, or Andy, Leonard, Jack and Polly. These six boys are the ancestors of the multitude of Treadways in this and surrounding counties. Those other than John who have lived and left descendants on Loup Creek are William. Sr. and Jack. William Sr. at one time lived at the Kell Taylor place. Just after the Civil War he lived in the McVey house, while Page 38 of 96 ** PAGE BREAK ** Treadway and Buffington Family Leonard lived in the hollow above. Together they raised six hundred bushels of corn in the hollow where Alfred Light lives. Jess Treadway of Beckwith; Elizabeth Light of Wriston, and Sylvester Treadway, who at one time lived on White Oak, are children of William Treadway. Sr. In 1886 Jess Treadway bought land of Theodore Carter on Carter Branch and lived where Mr. Nichols now resides until about 1897, when he moved to Beckwith neighborhood. Jack Treadway lived in the head of White Oak, and after his second marriage to Ella, daughter of James Settle, at the lower end of the Enoch Light farm and above the Milly plate. When the White Oak Fuel Company ran its railway grade through his yard, he traded his property there for land in the McVey hollow.

Ala. April 10, 1902 My dear Sister: I once more take my pen in hand to drop you a few lines which will inform you that we are yet alive and through the mercies of our Heavenly Father we are in the enjoyment of tolerably good health at this time, and Sincerely hope that this may find you all in good health. That we have had and are still having a great deal of sickness here and a great many deaths. The diseases are Lagripe and pneumonia. We have had an awfully cold disagreeable winter and the cold still continues. We have had some frost and a little ice here this week; have done but little gardening yet and but little corn planted and no cotton. I has been so very long since I have heard from you that I have forgotten whether I wrote the last letter or you wrote the last. The last letter I received from you was written about twelve months ago, in which you spoke of the very late spring out there and which was the case here, and so it is this spring. I am sorry that I have been so long about writing to you, but I was kept so very busy while I was holding the office of County Superintendent (Education) that I have but little time to write to any one, only teachers and the State Superintendent, and it has taken me twelve months after my office expired to wind up the business. It is one of the most troublesome offices in the state. I went to see sister Ary last November. She looks very old but gets about very Well. She thinks she is about 8h years old. Jim and his boys are doing well. I received a letter from Oxford Nix a few days ago; that 1s sister Margaret's eldest son. He stated that his mother was in very bad health, and was not expected to live much longer. Gailard and his own family were Well. Margaret and Gailard spent this winter with Oxford. He writes that he is doing well. Their post office is Anson. Texas. Jones Co., Margaret and I were 70 years old the 9th day of last month. As to my health, it 1s better than it has been for years. but I am not as active as I once was and I can't hear quite as well. I quit the use of tobacco some two years ago, and I feel like a new man since. I received a letter from brother Jake last February. His son Monroe's wife died last November. Jake was living with Monroe when his wife died - not keeping house. His two single girls were living with their married sisters. Jake's post office is Tallapoosa, (Ga. Please answer this letter and let me know where you and the children are. My children are scattered about. Oscar, our oldest son, is living in Anniston; Maggie is living in two miles of us; Ida is in Louisiana; Coray in Tennessee; Robert within two miles. Ollie is in the house with us at this time. Her husband. Charlie Foster, is now looking for a location to sell goods. Flora is living at Piedmont. Her husband 1s 2 mechanic. John is still with us - has never married. My children are all members of the Methodist Church, and I trust are trying to live right. I would like very much to see you one time more in this life but I never Page 41 of 96 ** PAGE BREAK ** Treadway and Buffington Family expect to unless you come to see me, for it makes me so deathly sick to ride on the train that I don't think I shall ever try it again. But if we never meet on earth again let us try to meet in Heaven where we part no more. Write soon - and often - and tell the children to write. My love and best Wishes to all - God bless you all. Your devoted Brother, /s/ F. M. Treadaway. (Copy of another letter from F. m. Treadaway (1832-1903) to his sister. Sarah Treadaway Pullen, written October 3, 1902. Jacksonville. Ala. October 3, 1902 My dear Sister. Your kind letter came to hand in due time, but I have been away from home most of the time since I received it or I should have answered sooner. This leaves all in usual health except Mary. She is not at all well but is up tod-=y. She suffers with a cough which she has had for many years. I was very glad to hear from you once more but sorry to hear of Mary's death. I have no news of interest to write you. We have had the driest year here I ever saw except the year 1845. Our crops of corn and cotton are almost a failure. We are having plenty of rain now and gardens are coming out considerably. You mentioned sister Margaret's death in your letter but said nothing about Ary being dead. She died just 23 days after Margaret died, with something like paralysis. She only, lived a few years after she was taken. I have not heard from Jacob in quite a while. His son Monroe's wife died in February last year, so his family 1s dying out very fast. two sons, his wife and two daughters-in-law have all died within the last three years. There is a great deal of sickness and death in this section at present. Two of the oldest men and oldest settlers in this town died a few weeks ago. One was General Forney, who was General in the Confederate Army, and the other was Colonel Caldwell who was Colonel in the Confederate Army. I held the burial services of an old neighbor last Sunday who died in Piedmont and was brought here to be buried. The old people are going out very fast here. Please write again soon as I am always very glad to hear from you. Mary joins me in love to you and all the children. Your Devoted Brother, /s/ F. M. Treadaway.

Alexander Hollandale, Mississippi, written March 31, 1959. Dear Mrs. Hawkins. I notice that the 1840 census of Anson Co., N. C. (as you have it written) names Richard Treadaway as being between 60 and 70 – and next lists the family of Randall Treadaway as being between 30 and 40, The Richard Treadaway of Anson County (who was son of Daniel Treadaway. Rev. Sol, of Anson Co., who died in 1825) was born in 1777-8, making him 63 years old in 1840. I believe Randall to be the son of Richard. Randall was born in 1801, making him 39 in 1840, This census seems to prove I am right. I believe John. William and Daniel, who follow Randall in census, to be brothers of Randall Treadaway, because the third Daniel, born 1780, who is under 60 years. was a brother of Richard, both being sons of Daniel and Mary Jones Treadaway. The female between 90 and 100 years in census of 1840 is Mary Treadaway, mother of Daniel. Jr., with whom she may have been living. She later was living with her youngest son. Arthur Treadaway, in Henderson Co., N. C. (Page 138, Census of Pensioners - 1841 - from N. C.) … After studying the records you sent and comparing them with W. E. Treadway's book comments. I am sure Richard and Nancy are the parents of Randall Treadaway. It 1s possible Nancy's maiden name was Randall. If I can find a Will on Richard Randall, age about 70, living alone at 1830 census, it may list his children (also Anson Co., N. C.). The name Nancy was carried down for three generations, I know. I think the Census Records (1830) made a mistake in Randall's first Child being "female under 5", It should be male because my grandfather Richard was born in Anson Co., N. C. in November 1828, and was the oldest Child (Named no doubt after his grandfather). From letter dated Feb 12, 1959: I never could quite figure out the Will of Richard Treadaway, and according to W. E. Treadway's book. I was thinking William was the father of Daniel Treadaway, who married Mary Jones. Miss Delamar's notes seem to prove Richard was, because Daniel went back to Cumberland County about 1798 to sell some of the land mentioned in the will and deeds - was witnessed by his brother Richard. There must be some connection. Randall Treadaway (1801-1854) Anson Co., N. C., to Chambers Co., Alabama and later Russell County. Alabama - about 1830, I think since my grandfather Richard was only child born in North Carolina in 1828.

Ala., dated November 28, 1943 and May 19, 1950, respectively. The George Treadaway of carbon Hill. Alabama is the grandson of a Francis Marion Treadaway but not the Francis Marion who died at Jacksonville, Alabama. The information that I have on the Treadways and Treadaways does not go back beyond my grandfather and George's father. My grandfather. Wade Hampton Treadway (or Treadaway) (spelled Treadway in U. S. Pension records) came to Alabama from North Carolina about 1848. I do not know his father's given name. He had a sister, her given name was Sarah, she married a Whitley in Fayette Co., Alabama. My grandfather married Martha Ann Lawrence on August 23, 1854, in Alabama. They had three children who lived to be grown: Alex, born in 1859; Andrew Jackson, born in 1865; and Sarah Ann, born in 1872, My grandfather died (in Ala. ) about three months before the daughter was born. The three children and my grandmother all died in Alabama. Andrew J. was my father, and I remember hearing him say that our family was related to the Treadaways at Piedmont, Alabama. Francis Marion Treadaway also came to Alabama from North Carolina. He and my grandfather were first cousins. This Francis Marion was George's father. Francis Marion's mother's given name was Mary, and one of the family said that they thought his father's given name was also Francis, however I am inclined to doubt that it was. I was born in 1891, When I was about 16 or 17 we received a letter from a relative in North Carolina who was well up in years, had lost his eyesight, and desired to know what had happened to those members of the family who had moved to Alabama years ago, but I've been unable to recall his given name or where the letter was written from in North Carolina. Mr. John F. Treadaway seems to think that my grandfather was probably a descendant of Ellis (or Alex). Incidentally, my grandfather was called "Hamp". Mr. John F., in his letter, mentioned a Mr. James H. Treadaway who died near Williston. S. C. in 1837, and his estate papers show a daughter. Sarah W. "Wonder if this was your grandmother!" Mr. Logan Treadaway gives same information as above, only adds that his grandfather. Hampton Treadaway served in the Northern Army during the Civil War. He says that Hampton and his wife Martha Lawrence had the three children named above and that he. Logan, is the oldest son of Alec's; that Alec had five sons and four daughters, etc. Page 49 of 96 ** PAGE BREAK ** Treadway and Buffington Family Joseph William Treadaway.

(This is the second article on Sylvester Vance Tredway's family. Last week's column told of his coming to San Joaquin County and some of his life there.) George Washington Tredway was the first-born of Sylvester and Isabella McLaughlin. Isabella's father was buried at sea while on a visit to Ireland. George was 10 years old when the family left Steubenville, Ohio for California with his family. His son. Ralph Waldo Tredway, has continued the traveling trend of the family, but now is retired at his home in Stockton. George married Emma Morilla House. June 5, 1872, in Lodi, California. She was the daughter of Dr. Vance House. The doctor had been born February 8, 1826, place unknown, and was in Kentucky when the children were born. Alice, Emma, and Dora were the children he brought with him to Woodbridge. His wife died shortly after Dora's birth. Dr. House practiced in Woodbridge and for the last few years of his life he lived on the Tredway ranch with his daughter Emma Tredway. He passed away in 1896. Alice married John McAfee and lived for many years in Centralin, Washington, where he worked for the State Fair of Washington. Alice died when she was about 92 years old. Alice's daughter, Dora Zumwaltz, lives in Olympia, Washington, and is in her 80's. The older daughter Emma died in San Francisco at an advanced age. Laura House married Jack Ralls of Lodi. They were the parents of Frank Ralls, who was foreman of the Sargent ranch for many years. George and Emma Tredway, her father Vance House, and the boy Henry Tredway (No. 2 below) are buried in the Woodbridge Cemetery. George and Emma's children were: 1. Vance Ward, born Nov 11, 1873, married Martha West of Bakersfield. California. Her father was owner of a great deal of oil property in that area. Sometime ago, the farm on which she was born proved to yield 100 barrels of oil per day. Mattie, as she was known, lives in Vallejo at the present time. Their children were: Lester, deceased; Evelyn, who died at the age of three from the poison of a spider; Lloyd, who operated the Tredtway furniture store in Merced, and had been a noted football player, He died March 11, 1951, in Merced; Henry, deceased; Alfred, who died 7 weeks after Henry; Laurabell, the only surviving child, who lives with her mother.

Isabel was born on September 20, 1887, and married Elmer F. Morrill. Mr. Morrill built many of the fine highways in the Piedmont hills. He was Ralph Tredway's first employer after he left the Tredway ranch. Ralph's job was to sprinkle the dirt roads and each Saturday night he received a five dollar gold piece. Flora Marilla Morrill was born in Oakland, May 6, 1910, and is presently the assistant superintendent and instructor cf nurses at the Sacramento County Hospital. Elmer F. Morrill, Jr, died as a result of exertion in trying to get his car out cf a mud section of the highway, He had been working for the Best Foods Company and was 31 years old.

George Trafton Tredway was born June 18, 1879, and was the last of the children born on the Kettleman Ranch where George farmed, The remaining were born on the Tredway Ranch, Trafton is to be discussed later. 5. Ralph Waldo Tredway was born March 5, 1882 (This is the Ralph who has been mentioned in various parts of this article and last week's) Nellie Margaret Wilkinson became his wife October 6, 1908, in San Francisco at the Congregational Church. Rev. Messer performed the service, Nellie was born August 16, 1887, in Pittsburgh, Pa. Their children were Emma Alethea, born October 16, 1914, and Ralph Eugene born December 29, 1916, in Stockton, where Mr. and Mrs, Tredway resided in the home of Dr. Henderson at 629 North Hunter Street. In January of 1913, the firm of Tredway Brothers was established at 123 East Main Street, Stockton, It had been the business of Mr. O. H. Close at the same address for the previous thirty-five years. From 1902, Arthur Lauren Tredway was associated with Mr. Close and thus became the buyer for the brother’s firm. Marion Sargent Tredway was the third in the firm. The Brothers dealt in office supplies and stationery and made it one of the largest and best equipped in Stockton. Trade from five adjacent counties came to their store because of the personal attention they were afforded. Ralph had been living in the East and returned to help set up the company. At one time there were four stores in Stockton owned by the Tredway Brothers. The first store, where today we find Matteoni's Restaurant and bar next to Scott's Stationery store, was the headquarters for … They specialized in loose-leaf and letter filing devices and were the exclusive agents for American Adding Machines; Herring, Hall, Marvin Safe Company vaults; local agents for Dictaphone and Yawman and Erbe Manufacturing Company.

(This is the second "Forty-Niner" of a series of thirteen to be discussed in this column. The first on Ross Sargent appeared June 11.) Sylvester Vance Tredway headed one of the first wagon trains to accomplish the task of herding a large band of cattle and horses across Country from Ohio and Missouri to California. Where today's methods include box-cars, trucks, and even airplanes, the "old way" was a 24-hour job of patience and forcing. The livestock had to be forced to swim rivers and streams, had to be protected from wild animals, and shielded from raiding Indians. Mr. Tredway was born in Pennsylvania December 21, 1820. On March 17, 1842, he married Isabella McLaughlin, also a native of Ohio, who was born January 14, 1822. His children were born in Steubenville. Jefferson County. Ohio, and their names follow: George Washington Tredway, born November 29, 1842; William Henry Tredway, born September 30, 1844; Rebecca Jane Tredway, born August 3, 1846. Sylvester left his family in 1849 to head the wagon train first mentioned and immediately went to the gold fields in Calaveras and Amador counties. He returned to the San Joaquin valley and purchased 2000 acres of the dense native forage land for $750.00 from a Spaniard named Pico. The five-Mile House, near the one presently standing on the Lower Sacramento Road was a stopping place on his periodic trips to Stockton for lumber and supplies. According to Ralph Tredway, his grandson, the route then followed the present Pacific Avenue, then over to El Dorado Street even then the main thoroughfare. He drove over McLeod's Lake which extended east to Hunter Street and on into town past the El Dorado and Main Street corners where the Forty-nine Drug Store was located. This is still operating from its beginning in 1852. A tent store had been established on August 24, 1850, but this burned in 1851. After building the home for his family. Sylvester returned to Ohio in 1853 by the Isthmus of Panama. In March, 1854, the family started its journey through Ohio; St. Joseph. Missouri, and on to San Joaquin Co., arriving here September 9, 1854, Rebecca Jane had her eighth birthday celebration on the plains. Sylvester and his brother. James Tredway, had various trading posts in the mining country, and they made regular trips between Poverty Bar and the Tredway Ranch, located near Kingdon. James died February 25, 1868. Among the merchandise in the run to the trading post were wild ducks from the Lodi area (then not even named), Mrs. Edith Henning, Rebecca's daughter, has a quilt which was made from down feathers of these ducks. She also has some scales used by her grandfather in weighing gold dust. Other of the treasured possessions of Mrs. Henning are some of the gowns and shawls worn by her mother and grandmother. When Sylvester went home to get the family, he took with him a gift for his wife. It was a real Spanish shawl that he had Page 54 of 96 ** PAGE BREAK ** Treadway and Buffington Family purchased in San Francisco in 1851, It has hand embroidered corners, with each corner having a different reversible pattern. The gowns worn by Rebecca in the 1860's, 70's and 80’s were shown at the Camellia Tea and Antique Fashions of St. Anne's Alter Guild in March of this year. Rebecca's wedding dress is of wool alpaca trimmed with satin and has small green leaves sewed on the ruffles. The bodice has lace trim with leaves and a detachable peplum. The photograph with the June 11th article shows Mr. Tredway with others of the settlers who had fought for their lands through the courts. The decision in their favor precipitated one of the most mammoth celebrations Lodi has ever seen. Ralph Tredway has an old muzzle-loading rifle (which seems to weigh a ton) and revolver which was used on the trip with the family. Ralph tells of how his father taught him to fire the rifle and also of the occasions when it was used to bring down the wild ducks. Sylvester had a trained ox which he took along to use as a prop when the rifle was fired. He wore a heavy hat with padded flaps which extended along the sides of his face so that when the rifle was fired, the discharge would not injure him. Sylvester Vance Tredway gave his wife 1000 acres of the original purchase for herself in 1880, following her death on September 7, 1896, the three children shared equally. Mr. Tredway died June 7, 1909. In next week's article I will tell you of the descendants of Sylvester and Isabella. George Washington Tredway married Emma Morilla House on Wednesday. June 5, 1872. William Henry Tredway married Mary A. Ring on Wednesday, May 19, 1869; Rebecca Jane Tredway married Charles Oscar Ivory on Tuesday. November 1, 1870. The marriages of these children connected some of the earliest families in this Lodi area. Mr. H. R. Goold, 3706 North Union, Tacoma 7, Washington, in seeking the ancestry of his maternal grandmother. Sarah Treadway, writes: I have tried many sources, including a professional genealogist at Montpelier. Vt., but have been unable so far to get a record regarding her parents. The Federal census of 1790 lists only one Tredway (no Treadways) in the state of Vermont. There was Benjamin Tredway living in Halifax Town, Windham County. His family consisted of: Benjamin Tredway - 2 white males 16 and older. 3 while males under 16; 4 white females including heads of family. This record of course was made 19 years before Sarah was born. She might possibly have been the daughter of one of the males of the above family. Mr. Goeffrey Gilbert, 915 Terrace Ave., Victoria. B. C., Canada, with whom I have had some correspondence, has a Treadway lineage. He mentions a David who had three sons: David. Ezra and Daniel and a daughter Nancy. My mother's mother was Sarah Treadway, who was born 5 September 1809, and married 12 April 1829, at Shoreham, Vt. David Wing Armstrong. She died Page 55 of 96 ** PAGE BREAK ** Treadway and Buffington Family 5 November 1856, at Parma, Michigan and is buried there. Children of this couple are shown by Mr. Goold to be as follows: 1.

Page 79 of 96 ** PAGE BREAK ** Treadway and Buffington Family Following from writings and research of Helen Hall, 501 Hotel Logan, Omaha 2, 2 Nebraska, regarding her ancestor, Henry Treadway. "Our Henry Treadway, the pioneer, bought land in 1683/4 in what is now Gloucester Co., m. J. (old Red Banks plantation, now a part of Red Banks National Park). He must have been above 21 years of age to have made such a purchase. The early court records show that he sold land about 1710, He died about 1725, I have abstract of his Will. His children were minors - Henry (above 16 in 1738), John About 14, and daughter Ann who married Thomas Kimsey. This leads me to believe that there may have been two Henry's prior to 1725-6, but I cannot prove that. Otherwise, why would there have been minor children, and small ones at that time in 1725? "Henry, above 16 in 1738, married and his Will shows his children. Will in 1789 and probated in 1790, He had daughter Sarah, who married John Amlin. This family moved to Washington Co., Ohio, to a district now known as Salem, not far from Marietta, Ohio, in 1796. Land records show John and children: John. Jr., Jonathan. Samuel, James, and Betsy (who married Ephraim True). Jonathan is our ancestor, born about 1776 in New Jersey, married Elizabeth Twiggs. Jonathan is buried in Newport. Washington Co., Ohio, and his marker clearly shows born in New Jersey. " … I know that the parents of Freeman Smith (see chart) were John and Sarah, and also have a lot of material on said John Smith, but have yet connected him up to his ancestral family. "I know all about the Quatermass Family as some of them also yet remain, to Ireland, and they were half-brothers of Lafayette Smith, et. al., but I still have the problem of connecting Betsy Eighmy (Amy) to the Eighmy family, have records on the original Eighmy ancestor. "I am working hard on the Custard family. I know they first came to Pennsylvania in 1684, but yet I lack one connection, as they were of German descent and changed their name from Kuster to Koster, Coster, Custer, Custard and there are literally hundreds of them to work on. "Robert Custard, 1797-1862, son of Abraham Custard, 1763-1853, son of William Kuster, 1729-1806; (here I miss one connection), I think I have prove that it was Arnold. Anyway the original was Paulus Kuster, who came in 1684. "The John Amlin who married Sarah Treadway in about 1769/70, was born in Germany. His father appears to have died en-route, so does not show up o entrance list. As Sarah Treadway was born in 1747, John's family must ha brought him over in the 1740-55 era. John Amlin served in Revolutionary from New Jersey, and I have certified copy from New Jersey Department of service. I did not fill in the balance of Neal, Colley and Young families but can go back a couple of generations on then. "I have read a good book which is in Omaha Library on the Quakers in America. "William Penn visited the New Jersey Quakers and acquired holdings there prior to 1683. Page 80 of 96 ** PAGE BREAK ** Treadway and Buffington Family "There are lots of questions that might be asked about both our Henry and about the Maryland Treadways. Will be glad to have your evaluation of this family." "Henry may have been married before he came to America in 1684, and his marriage to Ann Driver could have been his second - and the Henry who died 2725/6 of a first marriage: seems logical but much proof is needed." " … I am inclined to believe that the Henry Treadway who purchased and in 1684, married Anne Driver in 1685, and sold the land in 1700 is of course cur pioneer ancestor, But is he the same as the Henry who died in 1725/6, leaving wife Sarah and minor children? Even granting this Sarah was a second wife and possibly much younger, he was above 21 in 1664, and so in 1725/5 he has to be over 61 when those children were born, I have always felt that there is a generation missed here." "Were there no children of the Henry Treadway and Anne Driver marriage?" "Remember that these were Quakers, Mr. W. E. Treadway of Wichita, Kansas, says he has always felt that the children of Nathaniel Treadway were not all listed in his Will, but just the ones who stayed within the jurisdiction of Massachusetts and that it is possible that our Henry was also his son, … He could not have kept his life and remained in Mass, in those days of Puritanism - he would have had to leave home; so there is a chance that he is also a son of that family. Now I come to Josiah, son of Nathaniel, born 1652; he had 13 children by two marriages: Josiah, born 1674/53 died in 1683; James, born 1676; Richard, born 1677 moved to Maryland and became Quaker; Thomas, born 1679, also moved to Maryland and became Quaker; Sarah, born 1679? ; married James Priest; Bethia, born 1681, married Thomas Jones; Abigail, born 1683, married Samuel Cunnabell; Josiah, Jr., born 1866; Susanna, born 1688/9; Tabitha, born 1690; Suffrenna, born 1694; married Jonathan Kettell; Catherine, born 1703; married William Boardman. "But what proof have we that the Richard and Thomas, born 1677 and 1679, respectively, are the same as those who lived in Maryland, and are we sure that the men who died in Maryland were born on those dates? Their marriages leads one to think they may have been younger, by some 10 years, are so possibly sons of our Henry by his first marriage, On the other hand, Mr. W. E. Treadway suggests that as these grandsons were Quakers, it was logical they might come to this area as it was quite close to Henry (their uncle?) of West Jersey. "I am suggesting that our Henry, the pioneer, had other children and that the Henry, who died 1725/6 leaving minor children, was one of these and possibly also your Richard and Thomas. Do you know that they were in Maryland as early as 1698? If so, our Henry could not have had children of that age. "I am attempting to discover, from England Friends Society, if Henry came from England in early 1680's and if so what was his age then.

England, several members of the Wood family. They had purchased a tract that was located on Woodbury Creek. Here, when neighbors had joined them, a meeting was established at the home, probably, of John Wood.

Jehu Wood was of Deptford township and the names of the men of his company will be recognized as the ancestors of a great many persons now living in the vicinity of Woodbury. Governor Livingston on July 17, 1780, issued an order which was re-issued by Col. Ellis on July 19th, to the effect that twenty-five men of his regiment from militia classes one to four inclusive were to appear at Haddonfield well armed and accoutered with five days rations to march to Morristown where they were to await the orders of General Washington and continue in the service for one month unless sooner discharged. Inasmuch 2s only twenty-five men were required from the six known companies of the regiment, it may be justly surmised there was no great rush to comply with the call. All able-bodied New Jersey men between the ages of 16 and 45 years of age, unless exempted by law, were automatically members of the State Militia. Those who failed to submit satisfactory reasons for not answering the call were fined in accordance with the then prevailing laws of the State of New Jersey.
