----- Original Message ----- Sent: Friday, April 26, 2002 8:01 AM Subject: [Fwd: TREADWAY-D Digest V02 #18] Is this our Daniel they are talking about? There was book published "Treadway and Burkett Families" that had our Treadaway line wrong, it went like this: 1. Nathanial 1615 2. Josiah 1652 3. Richard abt 1677 who married Jane Parker 4. Thomas 1711 ..............(in fact this Thomas died without ISSUE!!!!!!!) 5. William 1738 6. Daniel born abt 1752 who married Mary Jones When our Daniel abt 1752 who married Mary Jones (Rev War Daniel of Anson NC) lines is: 1. Richard 1677 who married Jane Parker to 2. Richard R. born 1706 Maryland 3. Daniel born abt 1752 who married Mary Jones This Thomas born 1711 was indeed a son of Richard Sr. and Jane (Parker) Treadway and a half brother to our Richard R. Treadway (1706-1777) but this Thomas died without children so therefore our Daniel, who served in the Rev. War, was not his grandson. There was indeed a William born 23 Oct 1738 but William removed to VA and was the son of a different Thomas Treadway and this William did indeed have a son named Daniel born -date unknown- in Baltimore County, MD, who married Mary Young on 08 Aug 1782 in Maryland. That Daniel died in Maryland? and that Daniel and Mary had 3 sons, who went with her to Kentucky. I do not have the names of all three. I only have one, Robert Treadway, b: Unknown, Maryland. Randy Treadway has the line of this other Thomas mapped out pretty well as he was married four different times (only makes it more confusing!) Go here for descendants of this Thomas Treadway if you are interested in comparing notes: http://members.tripod.com/~Randy_T/treadweb.html but the Thomas Treadway, who was the son of Richard and Jane (Parker) Treadway, was born 06 Mar 1711 in St. George's Parish, Baltimore County, MD, died: 1749, Baltimore County, MD. He left a Will dated 21 July 1749-02 Aug 1749. In this Will he provided for his Nephew Thomas Brown, and named his trusted and beloved friend Thomas Tredway his administrator, showing he had no wife or children. The bond was posted 02 Aug 1749, by Executor Thomas Tredway, with Amos Garrett and and Abraham Taylor. Now. If Clarice Cox carried on the same erroneous data from the Burkett book it will not do any good to have her book. Many people mistakenly thought our Daniel (Rev War soldier of Anson NC) was the son of the William Treadway who was the son of this other Thomas but if one compares the will of Richard R. Treadaway of Cumberland County, NC (written Oct. 30, 1774, and probated 1777) to the Rev. War application of Mary Treadaway, wife of Daniel Treadaway of Anson County, NC, they will see that Daniel belonged to Richard. Richard left his plantation on LOWER LITTLE RIVER in Cumberland County, NC to his son Daniel. Mary states in her application that she was married on LITTLE RIVER in Cumberland County to Daniel Treadaway. She states that Daniel was in the service when they married and that later they moved to SC where Daniel went into service again and was at the Siege of Augusta. She states that after the close of the War, they moved to Anson County, NC. Also with this application is the prayer book Daniel kept with the births of all their children. (includes our Arthur) Many people have written books based on inadequate amount of data and because it gets put into print everybody assumes it is correct. Here is what I have on OUR Daniel Treadaway Sr., Rev War Soldier, of Anson NC ----------------------- The name was Treadway until Daniel...then became Treadaway. ----------------------- Daniel was a soldier in the Militia Horse Company during the Revolutionary War and was stationed at Fayetteville, NC. There he met Mary Jones, of Cumberland County, NC and whom he married on August 8, 1776, later they moved to SC where they settled near the Broad River. Shortly thereafter, Daniel Treadaway reentered the military service and was in engagements in the Carolina and Georgia, including the Siege of Augusta. After the close of the War, he moved his family to a permanent homesite in Anson, NC, where he acquired land by a grant from the state in consideration of fifty shillings for every hundred acres. Source: Deed Book B-2, Anson County, NC. The "Journal of the Provincial Congress at Halifax, NC" contains two entries concerning Daniel Treadaway: "Thursday, April 18, 1776. Ordered that Daniel Treadaway have leave to retire from their further attendance on this Congress and that certificates be issued for their passing unmolested" Source: Colonial Records of NC, V. 10, p. 526. In the report of a committee appointed to inquire into the conduct of insurgents and suspected persons, it appeared: "That Malcom McNeill did actually excite, encourage and endeavor to hire Daniel Treadaway to repair to the King's standard at Cross Creek and take up arms against America under Gen. McDonald." Daniel Treadaway was considered a Patriot by Stephen B. Weeks, the compiler of NC Colonial and State Records, and appears to have been the informer. Source: Colonial Records of NC, V. 10, p. 603. Daniel Treadaway was one of the Executors of his father's, Richard Treadway, will dated 30th day of October 1774. ---------------------------- Notes from research data: "...The records we have on Daniel Treadaway, Sr. are very accurate. The writer of Treadway and Burkett was very wrong on this line. I think he put Daniel as the son of a Nathaniel Treadway, out of the New England states. At that time I assume no one had found the will of Richard Treadaway, Jr. of Cumberland County, NC. In it he [Richard] names all his children, and Daniel, as youngest son, inherits, along with his mother, the plantation on Little River. This was during the Rev. War, and at some point, possibly due to property being destroyed during the war, Daniel was found to be insolvent in Cumberland County. After this, Daniel moved to Anson County, NC.....He [Daniel] was very well educated, was a member of the House of Burgess of NC, until the start of the War. At that time he was questioned about whether he was a "Loyalist" or a "Patriot" but was given safe passage to leave the meeting, along with others who were known "Loyalists." He later participated actively i! n the war as a Colonial soldier....." --------------------- I have not researched the line of the other Francis Marion --where all the confusion comes in, but his ancestors are: Francis Marion> s/o William> s/o Daniel> s/o Richard> s/o Richard R.> s/o Richard (No Thomas!) This Daniel (Francis' grandfather) family went from SC to GA and is credited being the Rev War Soldier Daniel because his grandson Francis Marion wrote a autobiography....could Francis have mistaken our Dainel TREADAWAY's military service for that of his grandfather? Just because Francis printed the data in a book does not make it fact, he could have had confabulated the data, who knows? The only way to find out is to check out the Record on Daniel who was the Private in the Revolutionary War from 15 Apr 1781 to Feb 1782, Record numbers A.A.7902;W5. and see if it is referring to our Daniel of Anson NC who married Mary Jones or the Daniel who was the grandfather of Francis, who married Mary Buffington who died in GA. If it is indeed the grandfather of Francis then our Daniel of Anson NC should also have a Rev War Record. --------------------------- Francis Marion Treadway born 03 Sept 1832 in Anderson Co., Georgia, married Mary Spence. Mary was born in 1836 in Cross Plains, Calhoun Co., Alabama. HIS FATHER WAS: William Treadway born 1787 in South Carolina, married Dorcas Cox. Dorcas was born in 1800 in South Carolina. William lived in Georgia, then went back to South Carolina, and then moved to Anderson Co., Georgia. HIS FATHER WAS: Daniel Treadway born 1760 in South Carolina, married Mary Buffington. Mary was born 1760 in South Carolina, most likely at Turkey Point, Barnwell Co., South Carolina, the daughter of Ezekial Buffington and Mary Emory. Daniel was a Private in the Revolutionary War from 15 Apr 1781 to Feb 1782, Record numbers A.A.7902;W5. For this service, he received 20 lbs with a stipulation that 1 lb would be set aside for his heirs who could receive the interest. It was stated in the autobiography of his Grandson Francis Marion Treadway that Daniel had 2 horses shot from under him at the Seige of Augusta, Georgia. Daniel obtained a land grant for 150 acres on 01 May 1786 in Barnwell Co., South Carolina. Deed records show sales by Daniel of 300 acres in Barnwell County (100 acres on Upper Three Runs on 29 Jan 1801; 100 acres on Tinkers Creek on 29 Jan 1801; 100 acres on Turkey Creek on 28 Jan 1801). Pendelton County Deeds, p480-481 lists Daniel Tredaway as surveyor and William Tredaway as w! itness; surveying 7 Feb 1793; witnessing 19 Jan 1803. Pendleton Co., South Carolina Deeds, p132-133 states that on 23 Feb 1801, Ezekiel Buffington (Daniels father-in-law) and Ellis Harlan sold to Daniel Treadaway for $171.00, 150 acres on NE side of Little River of the Keowee River. Land transactions for Daniel in Pendelton District (Anderson County records): 150 acres bought on Little Run on 7 Feb 1805; 100 acres sold on Little Creek on 24 Mar 1813; 150 acres sold on Little Creek on 7 Oct 1816. Mary died 27 Sept 1874 in Walker Co., Georgia while living with her son Ellis. HIS FATHER WAS: Richard, half brother to our Daniel of Anson NC, sons of our Richard R. Treadway -------------------------- We know that Richard R. Treadway 1706-1777 left his plantation on LOWER LITTLE RIVER in Cumberland County, NC to his son Daniel. We know from Mary (Jones) Treadaway's Rev War Application (from National Archives pension application file W18159 [North Carolina]) that our Daniel TREADAWAY lived in SC for a while so I think...... either there were two Daniels in the Rev War or Francis applied our Daniel's military record to the name of his grandfathers.
