Nathaniel Treadway/Tredway was the first Treadway to have settled in the New Colonies. Many Treadway lines have descended from him. He was born 07 Aug 1615 in Semley, England and immigrated to Sudbury, Midddlesex Co., Massachusetts ca 1639. According to a post in the Treadway Genforum by Helen Kinsey, Nathaniel's parents were Nathaniel Treadway and Mary Howe. Nathaniel and Mary were married at St. Botolphe, Colchester, Essex, England on 21 Sept 1614. Mary Howe was baptized at Boxted, Essex., England on 23 Jan 1591/92, the daughter of Edward and Ann (Lumpkin) Howe. Mary was the sister of Edward Howe of Massachusetts. Edward and his wife Margaret both left part of their estates to Nathaniel Treadway, which led some to jump to the conclusion that his wife must be a Howe. Nathaniel Treadway born 1615 later relocated to Watertown, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts ca 1645. He married Sufferance Haynes ca 1639. Sufferance was born 11 Sept 1620 in Shaston, Co. Dorset, England to Walter Haynes and Elizabeth Gourd.

Many people say the Sufferance was the daughter of an Edward or Walter Howe, but the Estate records of Walter Haynes, (Middlesex South Probate records) dated 25 May 1659, proved 04 Apr 1665, show his daughter's last name as Treadway (Treddoway). The Haynes family immigrated to the New Colony of Massachusetts aboard the "Confidence" in 1638.

Nathaniel was a very prominent man. He was a weaver by trade. Nathaniel was a selectman, a highway surveyor, and a member of the meeting house. Nathaniel died on 15 June 1659 in Watertown, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts, and Sufferance died on 22 July 1682 in Watertown, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts.

I am afraid you are only confusing matters.....I know this is a very confusing family but stop and consider this. Elder Edward Howe and his wife Margaret may have died wit no issue!. It is my study that their estate is divided-up to niece Ann Treadway Stone and nephew Nathaniel Treadway Jr.....who were the children of Edward Howe's sister, Mary Howe who married Nathaniel Treadway Sr.

Nathaniel Treadway Sr. was born 1590 and Mary Howe was born 1592. Mary Howe is the d/o Edward Howe Sr. and Ann Lumpkin. Mary Howe is the sister to Edward Howe Jr. who married Margaret Wells.

"The American Genealogist" -JUL 1995 PP 171-180. An article on "The English Origins of the Howe and Treadway Families of Watertown Mass." Ascertains that: the ANNE who married JOHN STONE was the daughter of NATHANIEL TREADWAY and his wife MARY HOWE. This MARY HOWE (who m NATHANIEL TREADWAY) was the sister of EDWARD HOWE, who married MARY WELLS, and the four of them came to Watertown.

EDWARD AND MARY HOWE were the children of: EDWARD HOWE, b 1561, d 1591 and his wife ANN LUMPKIN. This EDWARD HOWE was the son of WILLIAM HOWE b 1524, d 1582, and his wife CATHERINE SHERRIN.

Nathaniel Treadway Jr. was born 7 Aug 1615 in Semley, Wilshire County, England and landed at Massachusetts Bay around 1635 (Midddlesex County, Massachusetts).

Nathaniel Treadway Jr. married Suffrance HAYNES in 1639 just a few months after her arrival to the New World.

Nathaniel Jr.'s parents were Nathaniel Treadway Sr. and Mary Howe. Nathaniel Sr. and Mary were married at St. Botolphe, Colchester, Essex, England on 21 Sept 1614. Mary Howe was baptized at Boxted, Essex., England on 23 Jan 1591/92, the daughter of Edward and Ann (Lumpkin) Howe.

Mary was the sister of Edward Howe of Massachusetts. Edward and his wife Margaret both left part of their estates to Nathaniel Treadway Jr., which led some to jump to the conclusion that Nathaniel Jr's wife Sufferance must be a Howe. But NO PLACE does Edward Howe or Margaret refer to them as daughters/sons-in-laws. People are just augmenting that to the "story".

Nathaniel TREADWAY Jr. died on 20 Jul 1689 in Watertown, Middlesex, Massachusetts. He was born in Boxted, Essex, England.

Nathaniel Treadway's wife, Sufferana was the daughter of Walter Haynes of Sudbury, and not of Elder Edward Howe of Watertown, as stated in 1860 by both Savage and Bond, is the inevitable conclusion from a study of the case in its various aspects.

Mrs. Alice Haynes of Semley, Wilts, in her will dated 2 March 1620/1, mentioned her son Walter Haynes, his son Thomas and daughter Elizabeth, and Sufferaine and Marie Haynes, her granddaughters (NEHGR vol. 39, pp. 263-4).

Walter Haynes with his wife Elizabeth, sons Thomas, John, Josiah, and Josias (under 16), and daughters Suffrane and Mary, came in the Confidence in 1638 (Drake's Founders of New England, p. 57).

Both Walter Haynes and Nathaniel Treadway had settled in Sudbury by 1639 as they are found in the list of "1638-39" given by Hudson (History of Sudbury, p. 26). That they were, comparatively, near neighbors is seen by the map of the early settlement (Ibid. p. 76).

The next definite fact regarding Sufferana Haynes is found in the will of Walter Haynes, dated 25 May 1659, "signed again by mee" 4 March 1663/4, and proved 4 April 1665, who mentions his wife Elizabeth, his four children now in New England, John Haynes, Josiah Haynes, Suffrany [or Suffrans] Treddoway, and Mary Noyes; also his son-in-law Thomas Noyes, son-in-law Roger Gourd and daughter Gourd in England, and "lands in Sudbury which were sometime owned by my son Thomas Haynes" (Middlesex Co. Probate, No. 109939).

Thomas Noyes of Sudbury, by his will made 20 August 1664 and proved 9 April 1667, left "twenty shillings apiece unto ye two eldest daughters of brother Tredaway." To each of his three sisters he left twenty shillings, and, except two other small legacies, all the rest of his estate, real and personal to his wife Mary. Overseers: Mr. Joseph Noyes and Josiah Haynes (Middlesex Co. Probate No. 16084).

Print has power, just because a person printed it does not make is fact....another example: Savage tells us that the Sufferana Haynes married Josiah Treadway of Sudbury. Hudson repeats the statement, changing the residence to Watertown and adding that in the will of Walter Haynes his daughter Sufferance is mentioned "as being the wife of Josiah Treadway" (History of Sudbury. p. 33). This statement, however, is erroneous, for the given name of Sufferana's husband does not appear in connection with her father's will nor the probate of his estate; nor does Thomas Noyes mention it. Neither John Haynes nor Josiah Haynes left any legacy to their sister Sufferana or any of her family.

A somewhat extended search, including probate, land and court records of Middlesex and Suffolk counties, the printed records of the Colony, the lists of early emigrants, Pope's Pioneers, and the lists of early proprietors printed in the histories of Sudbury and Watertown, fails to reveal any evidence of a Josiah Treadway in the Colony until the birth in 1650 of Josiah who was the son of Nathaniel Jr. and Suffranna.

Nathaniel Treadway Jr. was married by 1639 or the early part of 1640, for his first child, Jonathan was born at Sudbury 11 November 1640. Mary, daughter of Nathaniel and Suffrany Treadway, was born at Sudbury 1 August 1642. Their daughter Elizabeth was born at Watertown 3rd of the 2d mo. 1646, and Deborah, 2nd of the 6th mo. 1657. The other children, James, Lydia, and Josiah, mentioned in their father's will, were not recorded. Nathaniel Treadway died at Watertown 20 July 1689, and Sufferana his wife died there 22 July 1682.

A comparison of the Christian names of Nathaniel Treadway's children with those of the Haynes family is highly suggestive. Sufferana Haynes' mother was Elizabeth. She had sisters Elizabeth and Mary, and a brother Josiah. The latter named a daughter Deborah, and John Haynes named a son James.

Nathaniel Treadway of Watertown, with John Haynes and Thomas Noyes, all of Sudbury, purchased a tract of 3200 acres of land at "Quansicamug" Pond in 1664 and 1665 (Middlesex Co. Deeds, vol. 3, p. 69 and vol. 7, p. 194; Mass. Bay Records, vol. 4, pt. 2, p.293; Hudson's Sudbury, p. 163).

From the foregoing it is seen that Sufferana Haynes was of the right age; that she married a man named Treadway; that Nathaniel Treadway lived near her in Sudbury; that he was married to a Sufferana not long after her arrival from England; that his children's names are, with two exceptions, found also in the Haynes family; that he had gained the confidence of her brothers and brother-in-law to a degree which led to their business association twenty years after his removal from Sudbury; and that there must have been visiting between the families, as his eldest daughter was a witness to Thomas Noyes' will.

When it is also considered that not only can there be found no Josiah Treadway, but no other in the Colony of the name except Nathaniel Treadway, until Nathaniel's sons were born, it seems almost superfluous to consider the Howe statement at all.

Elder Edward Howe of Watertown made his will 13 June 1644, giving to Nathaniel Treadway about thirteen acres of land, an equal interest with Mrs. Margaret Howe ye "Anne Stonne ye wife of John Stonne of Sudbury" in the wiers and in money due from Mr. Thomas Mayhew, and, after his wife Margaret's death, whatever estate, real or personal, might be left, except that "Anne Stonne shall haue one third part of all the Cattle" (Suffolk Co. Probate, vol. 1, p. 31; NEHGR, vol. 3, p. 77).

Widow Margaret Howe of Watertown made her will "The eight of the Second 1647." It was proved 18 December 1660, before which time she had become Mrs. George Bunker. She gave one half of her whole estate to Nathaniel Treadway, one third to John Stone, and one sixth to her sister Mary Rogers, widow, and her children John and Elizabeth Rogers in England, if living at time of her decease, otherwise this sixth to be divided by Treadway and Stone, three fifths to the former and two fifths to Stone. (Middlesex Co. Probate, No. 12074.)

In neither of these wills is Nathaniel Treadway called son or son-in-law, while Sufferana is not even alluded to in either; nor is Ann Stone's relationship to either Howe expressed. Several deeds are recorded in which some of the land received by Nathaniel Treadway under Howe's will was disposed of. It is described as "land which Sometime was Elder Howe's," "land commonly Called by ye name of How's field," and "land originally granted to Elder How of Watertown." On 4 July 1728, Josiah Treadway of Charlestown sold "all my right ... in Common or undivided lands in the Township of Watertown ... that is to Say the right of Mr Edward How formerly of said Town given by him (with his other Estate) in his last will ... to my father Nathaniel Treadway and by him conveyed to me" (Middlesex Co. Deeds, vol. 29, p. 102).

Whether Nathaniel Treadway and Ann Stone were brother and sister and Edward Howe was their uncle, or the kinship was more remote, may later be settled, but at present it is the most reliable speculation.

One more note under Sufferance Haynes:

Sufferance has long been the subject of controversy among genealogists. They don't even agree on her name, variously giving it as Sufferance, Suffrany, Sufferana, and similar variations.

According to one account, Sufferance was married to Josiah Treadway rather than Nathaniel Treadway. Other researchers who have searched the primary documents find no evidence of a Josiah Treadway in New England until the birth of Nathaniel's son by that name.

According to another account, Sufferance was the daughter of Elder Edward How (or Howe) and Margaret (Wells) Howe, neighbors of Nathaniel. This conclusion is apparently based on the fact that How left Nathaniel a sizable inheritance, as did his widow later (though in the meantime she had married George Bunker, owner of Bunker Hill).

Both wills, however, grant the bequests to Nathaniel, not to his wife. One might suspect some gender bias, whereby the husband receives the inheritance on behalf of his wife. However, Edward How's will also includes a bequest directly to Anna Stone (or Stonne), thought to be a niece, rather than to her husband John.

On the other hand, the will of Walter Haynes specifically mentions Sufferance Treadway as his daughter. There appears to be no reason not to accept this identification.
