You have shed new light on the Treadway's, thanks. The only error that I can see in your message dated 26 Jul 2004 is the listing of lineage from Jeptha Kite/Susannah: ii. Jeptha Kite (c1833 AR/MO or NM?) m Eliza A (May) Treadway, widow iii. James Abraham Treadway (not Kite) Eliza had two sons when she married Jeptha Kite, James Abraham Treadway, born 22 April 1861 (MO?) and died 04 April 1930 in Perry, Oklahoma. He married Mary Elizabeth Milliron on 10 February 1882. They had 10 children. The second son, Benjamin Franklin Treadway, born 1863 (he was born after his father, Benjamin Franklin, was killed in 1863 during the Civil War). The younger Benjamin Franklin Treadway was my husband's grandfather. He married Elizabeth Rowena Biggs (before 1902) and they settled in Clinton, Oklahoma where he died in 1937. Eliza May Treadway Kite had two sons with Jeptha Kite: Richard Kite born 1869 and Jeptha Kite born 1870. The 4 brothers, James, Ben, Richard and Jeptha were in Neosho, MO. They went to New Mexico and Arizona and drove cattle and horses to Kansas City and sold them to people going to Oklahoma in the Land Run of 1889. I believe that in 1888, Jeptha Kite had died and Eliza went with her sons to NM and back to MO. I have been told that she is buried in Springfield, MO but have been unable to locate cemetery. If you find in other information please pass it on. You and Becky have been very helpful. Pat
