The few facts that I have about Benjamin Franklin Treadway are he was born (date ?) in Missouri, married Eliza May, (date ?) died in 1862 while serving for the Confederacy during the Civil War; is buried in Ft. Smith, Arkansas. I have been told that Benjamin and Eliza were third cousins. He and Eliza had two sons, (1) James Abraham, b.4-22-1861 at Ft. Smiith, Ark., died 4-4-1930 in Perry, Okla. James was married to Mary Elizabeth Milliron on 10-2-1882; (2) Benjamin Franklin Jr., b. 1863 in Missouri, d. 1937 in Clinton, Okla. Benjamin married Elizabeth Rowena Biggs, (date ?) in Missouri. They had 6 children, Leora (Weeks), Frank Richard (my father), a twin to Frank Richard who did not live, Zack Taylor, Charlie Albert, and Lester Jerome. All children were born in Texas or Oklahoma. After Benjamin Franklin Sr. died, Eliza May Treadway married Jeptha Kite (date and place ?). They had two sons, Richard, b. 1869 and Jeptha Jr. b. 1870. I can't get any farther back than Benjamin Franklin, Sr. I wish someone could help.
