    1. [CRV] TREAT, Chauncey - Ancestors of (2 of 2)
    2. 9. Dorothy BULKLEY was born about 1662. She died in 1757. Lieut. Thomas TREAT and Dorothy BULKLEY had the following children: i. Rev. Richard TREAT was born on 14 MAY 1694 in Glastonbury, Hartford, Connecticut. He died about 1759. The Treat Family, by John Harvey Treat, A.M., The Salem Press Publishing & Printing Company, Salem, Massachusetts, 1893. p. 38. A Mr. Treat officiated at Dunstable, now Nashua, N.H., in 1715, who was probably our Richard Treat. I give the church record just as I find it: "Nov. 2d, 1715 it was voted for to desire Mr. Treat to continue with us sum time longer, and to give him as before, which was 20 shillings a Sabbath. Also voted that Sargt. Cumings should be looking out for a minister in order for settlement." Mr. Treat graduated at Yale 1719, and officiated for a while, temporarily, at Stonington, Conn. In Oct, 1720, permission was granted by the General Court of Connecticut, to the inhabitants of the North society in Stonington, now North Stonington, to raise a tax to pay Rev. Mr. Treat for preaching fourteen weeks while with them. May 31, 1721, he succeeded James Pierpont in the rectorship of the Hopkins grammar school in New Haven. He was probably ordained to the ministry in 1724. He was the first settled minister of Brimfield, Mass., where a church was erected in 1722. At his settlement in 1724, he was granted 120 acres of land, and his full share in all future allotments of proprietor's lands. His salary was 85 pounds, which does not seem to have been considered as large enough for his support, or to have been promptly paid. These tow thing in addition to poor health, caused him much uneasiness, so that June 8, 1733, a committee was appointed by the town to look into the matter and again Sept. 13, the matter was brought under consideration. Dec. 31, 1733, it was voted by the town to give Mr. Treat 20 pounds in addition to his salary. But the matter was not settled, and March 25, 1734, a council was voted to dismiss their minister. April 24, 1735, the inhabitants of the town concurred in the action of he council. When he removed to Glastonbury in 1734, he sold his estate of about 300 acres for 800 pounds, and Jan. 23, 1743, all his remaining right to one-seventieth of the township for 10 pounds. Of the results of Mr. Treat's ministry of nine years, nothing is now known, as the church records were destroyed by fire in 1748. From Dec., 1734, till June, 1735, while living in Glastonbury, he preached to and taught the Indians at Middletown, but abandoned the work, as the society in Scotland for propagating christian knowledge paid him no regularly salary. In the fall of 1738, the Rev. Chiliab Brainard, who had been ordained minister at Eastbury, an ecclesiastical society incorporated within the limits of Glastonbury, informally resigned his office, and Mr. Treat was hired by the committee to preach until the next annual meeting. After the death of Mr. Brainard, Jan. 1, 1739, Mr. Treat preached till March, 1739, when Rev. Nehemiah Brainard was settled. After the settlement of Mr. Brainard, he preached there occasionally, till 1742, and also in Middletown, In 1748, he was in Sheffield, Mass. Jan. 29, 1750-1, he petitioned the General Court of Massachusetts for the grant of a small piece of land that he had entered upon and cultivated in the province lands just west of Sheffield. A survey and plan was made March 20, 1750-1. April 3, 1751, the plan was accepted and 200 acres of land was granted to Richard Treat and his three eldest sons, whose names unfortunately are not given. His farm call the "Treat grant," was just west of the Sheffield boundary line, and adjoining it. A plan of the land with a house on it, may be seen in the Massachusetts archives. In 1743, the town of Sheffield petitioned the General Court for a grant of land lying between the west line of the town and the ridge of the mountain. There is no record that this petition was granted, but probably it was, as this tract his always been considered a part of the town, and is very valuable. Mr. Treat was a intinerant preacher. In 1754, he and Mr. May preached four days each in Charlemont, Mass. A bill of Moses Rices was allowed June 26, 170 (1756?), amounting to 4 pounds, 4 shillings for "Keeping the ministers" Mr. Smith, Mr. Dickerson, Mr. May and Mr. Treat. In the history of Norfolk, Conn., it is stated that Dec. 20, 1758, an intinerant clergyman, named Treat, preached the first sermon ever delivered in that town. In the margin of the copy I have, someone has marked with pencil "not accurate." It is not known when Mr. Treat died, but is supposed that it was about 1759, of smallpox, while on his way to Quebec as a soldier, perhaps as chaplain. This is a family tradition. In a deed to his mother Dorothy Treat, dated May 6, 1738, he is described as of Glastonbury. In 1739, he was in Eastbury, a parish of Glastonbury. March 9, 1742/3, according to a deed to James Mitchel, he was then at Middletown. May 27, 1748, he gives a deed to Sarah Treat, daughter of his brother Charles, wherein he describes himself as being then of Sheffield, Mass., and was present on that occasion at Hartford to make acknowledgment. (See Glastonbury Books of land sales.) There is no record, so far as is known, of the children of Rev. Richard Treat, except the Brimfield record of the birth of his son Thomas. A grandson, Cornelius Treat, born in 1766, who wrote a little sketch of himself and family, left on record that his grandfather had five sons and one daughter, Richard, Timothy, Ashbel, John, Thomas and Prudence, but furnished no other particulars. Have receive the same information from other descendants, with the addition of another daughter, Mary, who according to one, married a Goodrich. The widow of Eliajh Treat, grandson of Rev. Richard Treat, used to give Mr. Treat's children in this manner: "Richard, Tim, Tom, Pru, Ashbel, Mary and little John." ii. Charles TREAT was born on 28 FEB 1695/96 in Glastonbury, Hartford, Connecticut. The Treat Family, by John Harvey Treat, A.M., The Salem Press Publishing & Printing Company, Salem, Massachusetts, 1893. p. 39. He studied theology, and became a minister, April 25, 1727, a vote was taken at Glastonbury to call a minister, and Mr. Treat received one vote out of thirty-seven cast. He abandoned the ministry soon after his marriage, and devoted himself to agriculture on the large estate of his wife. In 1728, Mr. Treat was a Representative from Glastonbury. In 1742, he was paid by the Glastonbury School Society for two months' service 12 pounds. The year of his death is not given in the Yale Catalogue, but his name was first starred in 1757. Nor is his name printed in Italics to indicate that he was a minister. Mr. Treat at one time resided at New London, Conn. According to the Land Records of that town (11:92) he deeded land to Ivory Lucas, March 29, 1735. On the 19th of Oct. 1736 (Land Records, 11:157), John Jeffrey, of New London, deeded a tract of land to Charles Treate of New London, "with a mantion house thereon," for 219 pounds. iii.
