Now I can transfer some of my energy over to finding Benjamin Franklin Treadway (1st husband of Eliza May Treadway Kite). I feel comfortable, now, that I have been compiling the CORRECT Jeptha Kite to my extended family lines for Eliza May. I really appreciate your input. Have you determined whether or not the first two sons -- listed as James KITE and Frank KITE -- in Eliza KITE's 1870 Barry Co MO census enumeration -- are actually KITE's? They appear to be the same sons as: JAMES ABRAHAM TREADWAY (1860 AR) & WILLIAM FRANKLIN TREADWAY (1862 AR) -- which belong to Benjamin Franklin Treadway & Eliza A. May Treadway. Eliza's second two sons -- RICHARD KITE (1868 MO) & JEFFERSON KITE (1869 MO) --appear to be the sons of Jeptha (Jr) Kite & Eliza A. May Treadway Kite. If these are the "missing Treadway children" of B. F. & Eliza it would certainly help this Treadway researcher in her quest to find these folks, as adults. Again, Becky, thanks for sharing with me. It makes the hunt less confusing. I am still checking for the progenitor, Jeptha Kite, in England. He must have left footprints there...after all, he was already, at least, 40 years old when he came to America. [It looks as if Jeptha (Eng) came to America with the express intention of meeting/living with family members who had already established themselves in Arkansas. I'm weeding my way thru the 1840 census records to see if I can place him in the enumeration under another named head-of-household.] I'll keep posting what I can find. CJ
