WELCOME OUR NEWFOUND COUSIN! From: "Casey and Brenda Hines" <kcrad@iolky.com> To: <cooltreons@hotmail.com> Subject: Treon family heritage Date: Thu, 5 Apr 2001 11:44:20 -0500 **Forwarded letter from BRENDA TREON HINES: mailto:kcrad@iolky.com I wandered upon your website while I was researching my family heritage and I think I found some common links. My great-great-great-great grandfather was Dr. Jonathan Treon (also known as John Francis or Frances Jonathan) who seems to be the 11th child listed as a child of Michael Treon. Jonathan was born in Pennsylvania in 1784. He was married to Catherine Leiter and their son David was my greatx3 grandfather. Jonathan died June 9, 1855. My unconfirmed records indicated that Jonathan was the son of Michael Trion and his second wife, Elisabeth Seltzer. Michael's fathers name was also Michael and he is listed as a private in the militia of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania according to my records - but you seem to have him being in Heidelberg if I understand what you have written. Another son of Dr. Michael Trion is Dr. Peter Treon who traveled to and basically founded Miamisburg, Ohio with his nephew John. On my maternal great grandmother's side, the Treon name continues to appear and we feel she is descended from the above mentioned nephew John, and almost surely linked to the above side of the family. Almost everyone is from Berks County, Pennsylvania. Her name is Ida Jane Stine, who was the daughter of Sarah Jane Treon Stine, who was the daughter of Michael Treon of Berks Co. born July 6, 1820 and died May 5, 1900. He is buried in the Ellerton Cemetery, Jefferson Township, Montgomery County. We have not been able to trace this Michael back further, but feel he must be related to the other side. We do know that he had some legal dealings with the above Dr. John Treon (my 4xgreatgrandfather above) because he put up a security binder of $1100 along with Isaac Treon (Dr. John's youngest brother) when Francis Jonathan Treon's estate was settled in 1855 and 1856. However, we have not been able to trace this side of the family any further. I am very interested in information which will help me extend the family tree of John Francis (which appears is the #11 son of your Michael) and the Michael on my maternal great grandmother's side. I am particularly interested in what part of Alsace/Lorraine they came from, as I will be in that area in June and I would love to see the towns. Please write if you have further information, can clarify this information, or if you would like the information I have to fill for Jonathan Treon. >From BRENDA TREON HINES _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
