I give unto my son Salmon an equal share of my personal estate, which I leave in the hands of my wife. I give to my son Richard Treat, moreover and above what i have already given to him sd. Richard as by deedof guift sheweth, I say I give unto him a single share of the estate I leave in the hands of his mother. I give to my son Joseph Treat 1-2 of my lot lying on the West Field Hll, containing 6 acres or more, which piece of land is to be between my sons Richard and Joseph. And I leave the partition to be made by my sd. sons as may best accommodate and suit each other.

James Treat, Sen., LS. Witness: Samuel Boreman Ebenezer Kilbourn Court Record, Page 122 - 7 March, 1708-9: Will proven. This Court grant letters of Adms. to James Treat and Samuel Treat, executors, with the will annexed. Page 34 (Vol. XII) 1st October, 1735: It appearing to this Court that, in order to a dist. of the estate of James Treat according to his last will, an invt. of lands by deed of guift to his sons James Treat and Richard Treat should be taken. Whereas, john Lattimer and Jonathan Belding, formerly appointed to take sd. invt., are deceased, this Court now appoint Jonathan Belding, Lt. Joshua Robbins and Capt. Edward Bulkeley to apprise sd. lands at the value when the former inventory was taken, 3rd march, 1708-9. Page 35 - 4 November 1735: James Treat, one of the heirs to the estate of James Treat, late decd., and one of the executors of the will, informs this Court that the heirs did not and would not agree among themselves to divide the land or real estate of the sd. deceased, and that Samuel Treat, one of the executors and son the sd. deceased, being deceased, he, the sd. James Treat, executor, had not power alone to divide sd. real estate, therefore cited the heirs to appear before the Court to object if they see cause why freeholders to divide the estate should not be appointed at the hearing. This Court decides that there cannot be equal division unless there be a new appraisal, forasmuch as the deceased, in and by his will left the real estate in the possession of his widow, and after her decease to be divided by their sons, and the sd. widow being lately deceased, and the dwelling house decayed, this Court order a new appraisal of sd. estate. James Treat, heir and executor, appealed from this decree to the Superior Court. He died on 12 FEB 1709 in Wethersfield, Hartford, Connecticut. James TREAT and Rebecca LATTIMER were married on 26 JAN 1665 in Wethersfield, Hartford, Connecticut. Rebecca LATTIMER was born in 1650. She died on 2 APR 1734.

Katharine TREAT (Richard-1) was christened on 29 JUN 1637 in Pitminster, Somersetshire, England. She was born in 1637 in Pitminster, Somersetshire, England. She died on 29 NOV 1655. Katharine TREAT and Rev. William THOMPSON were married on 19 NOV 1655 in Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts. The Treat Family, by John Harvey Treat, A.M., The Salem Press Publishing & Printing Company, Salem, Massachusetts, 1893. p. 31. Married Nov. 29, 1655, Rev. William Thompson, or Tomson, of New Haven, by Gov. John Endecott, at Boston, according to the Boston Records. The Treat Family, by John Harvey Treat, A.M., The Salem Press Publishing & Printing Company, Salem, Massachusetts, 1893. p. 31. Came from England about 1637, and settled in Braintree, Mass. He graduate at Harvard in 1653, and was a preacher in Springfield, Mass., in 1654-6. In March 1657, he came to Stonington, Conn., which with his family. Was employed by the Commissioners of the United Colonies acting for the London Society "for Propagating the Gospel in New England," as a Missionary to the Pequot Indians, in 1658, at Wastuxet, in Westerly, R.I. Mr. Stanton, then Interpreter General of New England, was employed by the Commissioners as Interpreter to Mr. Thompson. About 1659, he resided in New London, Conn. After 1661, his salary from the Society was withdrawn as he neglected the business, probably from ill health. March 14, 1660-1, he was made a freeman of Surry Co., Va. Oct. 11, 1664, he made a tender of his property to the Court of Magistrates at Hartford, for the liquidation of a debt, being about to remove to Virginia; and Oct. 13, the Court ordered the Constable of New London to take possession of his property. June 29, 1665, he wrote a letter form Pixford Bay, Va., to his "Loving brother Mr. James Treat of Wethersfield," authorizing him to sell property in New London, and that is the last that we hear of him. His death probably occurred soon after, though the date is unknown. Richard Treat in his will, Feb. 15, 1668-9, mentions "my daughter Johnson," but as the Boston Records state explicitly that she married Mr. William Thompson, who also calls James Treat "brother", meaning brother-in-law, the mistake could occur very easily from a similarity of appearance of the names in writing, or Johnson may have been the name of a second husband, though he is never heard of elsewhere. In the copy of Mr. Treat's will on record now at the State House, Hartford, Conn., the name is plainly Johnson. We have no record of any children (see Sibley's Biographical Sketches of Graduates of H.U. pp. 354 - 357, Vol. 1.)
