"Francis Willoughby, merchant, lived both in England and New England. He returned to England in 1640, where he married his second wife, Susan Taylor. He returned again in 1651 and remained until 1662, serving as Commissioner of the Navy at Portsmouth for eight years; he wed his third wife, Margaret, circa 1659. Francis, Deputy-Governor of Massachusetts, was admitted an inhabitant of Charleston August 22, 1638."

There is discrepency over the name of his first wife and the names of the children born of this first marriage. His third wife apparently was Margaret Locke and the third child of this marriage, Susannah, was born in MA in 1664. He was a shipwright in Wappingwall, England in 1635 and must have immigrated to MA about 1640. He "bound himself to pay 400 pounds to Thomas Bragne, his brother-in-law, and William Webb of London, in trust as a provision for his third wife, Margaret (Locke) Willoughby. He became a Commisioner of the Royal Navy, a selectman, deputy, magistrate 1650-1654 and then Deputy Governor of Massachusetts 1665-67 and 1668-70.

A book called "The Dayly Observation of an Impassioned Puritan"; a seventeenth century shorthand diary is attributed to Deputy Governor Francis Willoughby of Massachusetts by Francis Sypher in 1981. It has 17 pages.

From Family Histories and Genealogies by Salisbury, 1892
"Francis Willoughby was admitted an inhabitant of the town of Charlestown, in New England, August 22, 1638. According to the town records his property at the time consisted of one parcel of ground, with a house upon it situated to the south of the Mill Hill, facing north upon Elbow or Crooked Lane (afterwards Bow Street), with the Charles River to the south, another lane on the east, and the garden-plots of Tho. Brigden and Ab. Pratt on the west. Beyond these latter was the land of Ed. Johnson, the western boundary of which was Hayles Lane. He had also commons for one milch-cow, bought of Peter Garland; two lots of arable land, of two and four acres, along the south side of Mystick River; five acres of woodland in Mystick Field, and some twenty acres of land in Waterfield. The next year he bought of Sarah widow of Tho. Ewer a house and garden-plot, in the Middle Tow, with the Market Place (or Square) to the south and west; Dock Lane (or Water Lane) to the south-east and land of Increase Nowell to north-east. In 1640 some 'remote land' as it was styled, was set off from Charlestown and known as Charlestown Village, to be incorporated in 1642 under the name of Woburn. Some 3000 acres of this tract, called the 'land of Nod,' afterwards part of Wilmington, had been granted at an early period to different individuals, Francis Willoughby, having 300 acres, which he subsequently increased by purchase of 1150 acres more, which had been granted to Capt. Naler and Capt. John Allen..

"Our ancestors Judge Simon Lynde and Deputy-Governor Francis Willoughby were in social and public life in Massachusetts at the same time, and of the same rank, and must have met frequently. But we have not found their names associated, nor could we expect to do so. Simon Lynde having early in life kissed the hand of Charles I, always gave his fealty to that Kind and to his son, and was ready to maintain the King's prerogative; while Willoughby's father and himself had been active member of the Government which deposed and beheaded Charles I, and his own powerful influence both in England and in this country was always in favor of liberty to the people."7

; N.B. The link of Col. William Willoughby and his son Dep. Gov. Francis Willoughby to either the Willoughbys of Eresby or those of Parham as discussed in Greenwood [1876:67-78] and Salisbury [1892:517-23] was disproven by Everingham [1980:12-13]. Copies attached.

     from Salisbury [1892, pp. 560-562]: [quote] The foregoing pages embrace the principal facts which are known respecting Col. William Willoughby, and Deputy-Governor Francis Willoughby. We will now give the results of our investigations in respect to their English ancestry. We began by analyzing the arms which, as we have seen, were borne both by Col. William Willoughby and by his son Francis handed down to us on the mural monument of the former, in the Church of St. Thomas at Portsmouth, and on the seal of the latter. We have a water-color copy, and a photograph, of the monument ; and a clear copy in wax of the seal.
     As the result of Mr. Greenwood's investigations and our own, in regard to the arms, we give the following. The arms of the early Willoughbys de Eresby were undoubtedly Or fretty Azure. These were borne by Robert de Wilegby, afterwards Lord Willoughby de Eresby, at the siege of Caerlaverock in December 1299, when he attended King Edward I. The earliest crest mentioned in the collections of Glover, the Somerset Herald of the time of Elizabeth, who drew up an account of the Willoughby family, is a bat or demi-bat volant, the wings fretty. On the monument of Richard Bertie Esq. and his wife Catharine11 Willoughby (Duchess of Suffolk by her first marriage) daughter and sole heiress of William Willoughby Baron de Eresby, there is an escutcheon of Willoughby and Beke quartered, with "a bat displayed," as the crest of Willoughby. The bat is also found with Willoughby among the armorial bearings on the monument of their son Peregrine Bertie, Lord Willoughby de Eresby, where the mantlings are, as described, " Gules, doubled Argent." But from a manuscript in the Library of Canterbury, we have his arms as borne in 1590, in which the crest is the full, round, fierce head of a lion, with wings of a bat on either side, fretty. This later crest with a distinct lions face and a bat's wings Or fretty Azure is engraved in Edmondson's " Baronagium Genealogicum " as that carried by Robert Bertie, the son of Peregrine Bertie Lord Willoughby, who succeeded his father as Lord Willoughby de Eresby in 1601, and was created Earl of Lindsey in 1626. By consulting our Pedigree of Willoughby it will be seen that Robert Bertie descended from Sir Christopher Willoughby, who was also the ancestor of Thomas Willoughby Esq., Sheriff of Kent in 1590, and of Sir Percival, who married Bridget daughter of Sir Francis Willoughby of Wollaton, and niece of Margaret Willoughby Maid of Honor to Princess Elizabeth. Finally, Lady Georgina Bertie, in her " Five Generations of a Loyal House," shows us, as Willoughby arms, frctty Or and Aztire, a full-faced helmet, over which a wreath, and on it the crest a lions head and neck couped at the shoulders, with wings expanded andfretty.

It will thus be seen that the bat's face of the early Willoughbys had been changed to that of a lion, while the bat's wings had been retained. The bat's face having fallen into disuse, no care appears to have been taken to retain the exact form of bat's wings. For Sir Francis Willoughby, knighted in Ireland in 1610, used for crest a lions headguardant couped at the shoulders Or, between two wings expanded Or fretty Aztire, the kind of wings not being described..

Now what were the arms borne by Col. William Willoughby and his son the Deputy-Governor, emblazoned on a conspicuous monument to the former on the interior wall of a church ; and used publicly by the latter, as shown by his seal attached to a business-paper?.

In the first place, the shield is Or fretty Azure; secondly, the crest is distinctly a lions headguardant, couped at the shozdders Or, between two wings expanded. Mantled Gules, doubled Argent that is, the arms of themural tablet and seal are those which belonged from the first, and have always belonged, to the Willoughbys de Eresby, with that modification,
as to crest, which was used by Peregrine Bertie, a descendant in the fourth generation from Sir Christopher Willoughby of the de Eresby line. While this crest is still retained among the family devices, and thus belongs to Lord Middleton, and others, it has been generally displaced by a man's bust ducally crowned, now used by the lines of Willoughby de Eresby.

There is but one discrepancy between the two emblazonments that is, that the high, stiff, bat-like, but indistinct, wings of the lion, on the mural tablet, are painted Gnles. This is easily accounted for. Any one who inthese days has had dealings with heraldic draughtsmen, knows the difficulty of securing accuracy, even now, and can easily understand how the mistake might have been made, nearly two hundred and fifty years ago, by the original heraldic painter, or, more probably, by some later restorer, in painting the wings Gufes, when the mantlings which surrounded them were partly of that color.

We find that Col. Willoughby was thirteen years of age when Peregrine Bertie, tenth Lord Willoughby de Eresby, died ; that Peregrine's son Robert, eleventh Lord Willoughby de Eresby and first Earl of Lindsey, died in 1642, and was succeeded by his son Montague, twelfth LordWilloughby de Eresby and second Earl of Lindsey, who died in 1666, leaving successors. Of course, the Colonel and his son, as well as the public at large, were familiar with the armorial bearings of these noblemen ; and they could not have used the same arms without full assurance that they were of the same de Eresby lineage.

The shield and crest of Deputy-Governor Francis Willoughby are the same as those of Peregrine Bertie Lord Willoughby de Eresby, and of the Colonel, better drawn than those of the latter. In the minute cutting on the seal we can discern the " fretty " on the wings. The seal shows the " closed visor in profile " appropriated to esquires and gentlemen ; not the open bars of the "grated helmet in profile" (common to all degrees of the peerage under a duke) of his father's arms. As the distinction between the helmets of noblemen and gentlemen had not become fixed in Col. Willoughby's time he used the full arms as they had come down fromhis early titled ancestors.".

      ; N.B. The link of Col. William Willoughby and his son Dep. Gov. Francis Willoughby to either the Willoughbys of Eresby or those of Parham as discussed in Greenwood [1876:67-78] and Salisbury [1892:517-23] was disproven by Everingham [1980:12-13]. Copies attached.

     from Salisbury [1892, pp. 560-562]: [quote] The foregoing pages embrace the principal facts which are known respecting Col. William Willoughby, and Deputy-Governor Francis Willoughby. We will now give the results of our investigations in respect to their English ancestry. We began by analyzing the arms which, as we have seen, were borne both by Col. William Willoughby and by his son Francis handed down to us on the mural monument of the former, in the Church of St. Thomas at Portsmouth, and on the seal of the latter. We have a water-color copy, and a photograph, of the monument ; and a clear copy in wax of the seal.
     As the result of Mr. Greenwood's investigations and our own, in regard to the arms, we give the following. The arms of the early Willoughbys de Eresby were undoubtedly Or fretty Azure. These were borne by Robert de Wilegby, afterwards Lord Willoughby de Eresby, at the siege of Caerlaverock in December 1299, when he attended King Edward I. The earliest crest mentioned in the collections of Glover, the Somerset Herald of the time of Elizabeth, who drew up an account of the Willoughby family, is a bat or demi-bat volant, the wings fretty. On the monument of Richard Bertie Esq. and his wife Catharine11 Willoughby (Duchess of Suffolk by her first marriage) daughter and sole heiress of William Willoughby Baron de Eresby, there is an escutcheon of Willoughby and Beke quartered, with "a bat displayed," as the crest of Willoughby. The bat is also found with Willoughby among the armorial bearings on the monument of their son Peregrine Bertie, Lord Willoughby de Eresby, where the mantlings are, as described, " Gules, doubled Argent." But from a manuscript in the Library of Canterbury, we have his arms as borne in 1590, in which the crest is the full, round, fierce head of a lion, with wings of a bat on either side, fretty. This later crest with a distinct lions face and a bat's wings Or fretty Azure is engraved in Edmondson's " Baronagium Genealogicum " as that carried by Robert Bertie, the son of Peregrine Bertie Lord Willoughby, who succeeded his father as Lord Willoughby de Eresby in 1601, and was created Earl of Lindsey in 1626. By consulting our Pedigree of Willoughby it will be seen that Robert Bertie descended from Sir Christopher Willoughby, who was also the ancestor of Thomas Willoughby Esq., Sheriff of Kent in 1590, and of Sir Percival, who married Bridget daughter of Sir Francis Willoughby of Wollaton, and niece of Margaret Willoughby Maid of Honor to Princess Elizabeth. Finally, Lady Georgina Bertie, in her " Five Generations of a Loyal House," shows us, as Willoughby arms, frctty Or and Aztire, a full-faced helmet, over which a wreath, and on it the crest a lions head and neck couped at the shoulders, with wings expanded andfretty.

It will thus be seen that the bat's face of the early Willoughbys had been changed to that of a lion, while the bat's wings had been retained. The bat's face having fallen into disuse, no care appears to have been taken to retain the exact form of bat's wings. For Sir Francis Willoughby, knighted in Ireland in 1610, used for crest a lions headguardant couped at the shoulders Or, between two wings expanded Or fretty Aztire, the kind of wings not being described..

Now what were the arms borne by Col. William Willoughby and his son the Deputy-Governor, emblazoned on a conspicuous monument to the former on the interior wall of a church ; and used publicly by the latter, as shown by his seal attached to a business-paper?.

In the first place, the shield is Or fretty Azure; secondly, the crest is distinctly a lions headguardant, couped at the shozdders Or, between two wings expanded. Mantled Gules, doubled Argent that is, the arms of themural tablet and seal are those which belonged from the first, and have always belonged, to the Willoughbys de Eresby, with that modification,
as to crest, which was used by Peregrine Bertie, a descendant in the fourth generation from Sir Christopher Willoughby of the de Eresby line. While this crest is still retained among the family devices, and thus belongs to Lord Middleton, and others, it has been generally displaced by a man's bust ducally crowned, now used by the lines of Willoughby de Eresby.

There is but one discrepancy between the two emblazonments that is, that the high, stiff, bat-like, but indistinct, wings of the lion, on the mural tablet, are painted Gnles. This is easily accounted for. Any one who inthese days has had dealings with heraldic draughtsmen, knows the difficulty of securing accuracy, even now, and can easily understand how the mistake might have been made, nearly two hundred and fifty years ago, by the original heraldic painter, or, more probably, by some later restorer, in painting the wings Gufes, when the mantlings which surrounded them were partly of that color.

We find that Col. Willoughby was thirteen years of age when Peregrine Bertie, tenth Lord Willoughby de Eresby, died ; that Peregrine's son Robert, eleventh Lord Willoughby de Eresby and first Earl of Lindsey, died in 1642, and was succeeded by his son Montague, twelfth LordWilloughby de Eresby and second Earl of Lindsey, who died in 1666, leaving successors. Of course, the Colonel and his son, as well as the public at large, were familiar with the armorial bearings of these noblemen ; and they could not have used the same arms without full assurance that they were of the same de Eresby lineage.

The shield and crest of Deputy-Governor Francis Willoughby are the same as those of Peregrine Bertie Lord Willoughby de Eresby, and of the Colonel, better drawn than those of the latter. In the minute cutting on the seal we can discern the " fretty " on the wings. The seal shows the " closed visor in profile " appropriated to esquires and gentlemen ; not the open bars of the "grated helmet in profile" (common to all degrees of the peerage under a duke) of his father's arms. As the distinction between the helmets of noblemen and gentlemen had not become fixed in Col. Willoughby's time he used the full arms as they had come down fromhis early titled ancestors.".
     p. 507: Arms: Or fretty Az; Crest: a lion's head guardant couped at the shoulders Or, between two wings expanded Or fretty Az. Mantled Gu. doubled Arg. (Willoughby de Eresby).
     Page 547: "The Deputy-Governor, as well as his father, used the old Willoughby de Eresby arms, as appears by a seal attached to his signature on a bond issued by him February 1, 1667, bearing Fretty (metals and tinctures not indicated) ; crest : a lion's head between two wings expanded."
     *FOOTNOTE: "35 This seal was discovered by Mr. Henry FitzGilbert Waters in his researches among the files of Middlesex County Court some years ago. See Essex Inst. Histor. Coll., Salem, 1879, xvi. 261-62." [end quote]7,4,8,9 EDV-9. He was Commissioner of the Royal Navy between 16 February 1648 and 7 January 1651 at England.5,1

Col. William Willoughby of London and Portsmouth left a will in May 1662 at London, City of London, Greater London, England; Their wills are transcribed in Salisbury [1892:517-523].9

Inscription: The present Newark City Hall now stands where this cemetery once was. This necessitated the removal by the church of any remains in the late 1950's to a mass grave in a memorial garden in a different section of the church grounds. The cemetery had not been maintained for some years and many grave stones were broken or were not legible. The remaining intact headstones were placed in storage in the basement.

     Alice Gaylord died; The Ancestry site gives a death date of 21 Oct 1614, which is obviously wrong.1 She was born on 10 May 1594 at Pitminster, Taunton Deane Borough, co. Somerset, England; from Ancestry.com: [quote]source: Lusk Family by Willard C. Lusk.
Richard Treat, according to the "Anthon Genealogy" by Stuyvesant Fish, was the son of Rober and Honora or Honour Trott, and Grandson of Richard and Joanna Trott, all of Pitminster, County Somerset, England. His great grandfather was probably William Trott of Staplegrove and his great-great-grandfather, John Trott also of Staplegrove.

Richard Treat, baptized 28 Aug 1584 in Pitminster Church, Somerset, England was a man of high social standing and influence according to Stiles in his "Geneolgies of Ancient Wethersfeild." He married, in England, on 27 April 1615, Alice, the daughter of Hugh Gaylord of Pitminster. She born 10 May 1594. Their children were all born in England. The family came to New England after 1637, the first mention of them in CT being in 1643. Richard Treat died in 1669-70; hi8s wife died in 1694.

He was baptized under the name of "Trott," married under the name of "Trett"; his children were baptized by the names of "Trott" and "Tratt" and he was called "Treat" when he died.

Richard Treat was buried after 14 February 1669 at Wethersfield Village Cemetery, Wethersfield, Hartford Co., Connecticut, USA; From Find A Grave:
BIRTH     28 Aug 1584, Pitminster, Taunton Deane Borough, Somerset, England
DEATH     1670 (aged 85–86), Wethersfield, Hartford County, Connecticut, USA
N.B. In 1893 John Harvey Treat in The Treat Family (pp. 20-21) claimed on 23 Feb. 1652/3 at 68 years of age Richard Treat Sr. was commissioned an Ensign, or 3rd in line of command, of Wethersfield's "trained band" (town militia). In that record Richard Sr. is referred to as "Mr. Trott," who was then an 8-year long serving deputy from Wethersfield to the General Court. The first action by that court was, in modern English: "Wethersfield having presented Rich: Trott to be chosen Ensign to the trained band in that town, this Court declares that they approve of the choice & confirm him in that position" (Conn. Pub. Recs, Vol. 1, 1636-1665, 237). As written, this must have referred to Richard Treat Jr. who was then 29 years old. Then on 11 March 1657/8 at 34 years of age John H. Treat credited Richard Jr. as elected a Corporal of the Connecticut Colony's "Troop of Horse" [ibid 1:310].

On its face the military title of Ensign attributed to Richard Sr. did not make sense to this descendant. At 68 years old it would have been highly irregular in early New England civil, social and military affairs for a man to be commissioned to a subordinate position (3rd in command) well below his long established civil and social standing. In the second instance, on 11 March 1657/8 the colony troops under Maj. John Mason elected or reaffirmed Richard Lord of Hartford as Capt., Daniel Clark of Windsor as Lieut., Daniel Wilson of Windsor as Ensign, John Allin of Hartford as the Cornet, along with three Corporals (one being Richard Treat of Wethersfield) and Mr. Thomas Wells, Jr. of Hartford as the Quarter Master. In 1952 the renowned New England genealogist Donald Lines Jacobus in his well-known Hale, House and Related Families rejected John H. Treat's military title of Ensign being attributed to Richard Sr. (p. 765) noting that Richard Jr. in the Westhersfield vital records for the birth of his first child on 14 Feb. 1661/2 was recorded as "Richard, son of Ens. Richard and Sarah Treat" (Weth. VRs, 262). For these and other arguments that could be made this descendant of Richard Sr. has assigned the commission of Ensign to Richard Jr.
-------------------------

Richard Treat, Esq., the immigrant ancestor of the Treat Family of Wethersfield, Conn., the youngest known child of Robert & Honora Treat of Pitminster, Somersetshire, England. He was bapt. Aug. 28, 1584 at St. Andrew and St. Mary Church in Pitminster. He d. testate in Wethersfield, Conn. betw. Feb. 13, 1668/9, the date of his will, and Mar. 3, 1669/70 when his will was proved and ordered to be recorded.

Richard is claimed by an unknown person or persons to have d. Feb. 14, 1668/69, the day after he wrote his will, but no document has been found that confirms his actual date of death. A person's estate inventory was typically taken within a matter of days after death, with Richard's taken in January 1669/70, the day not written, by three men, two who were his sons-in-law: John Deming and Robert Webster. If Richard died as claimed in February in the Gregorian calendar year of 1669, it is highly unlikely his family, let alone his creditors, would have waited 11 months to have his estate inventory taken followed by his will being proved. Accordingly, this descendant has used the year 1670 as the most likely year of Richard's death.

On Apr. 27, 1615 in Pitminster, Richard m. Alice Gaylord, the mother of all his children, dau. of Hugh Gaylord. She was bapt. in Pitminster May 10, 1594 and was living when Richard wrote his will.

The Hollister Family in America (Lafayette Wallace Case, 1886, p. 24) errantly claims Richard had a first wife named Joanna: "Lieut. John Hollister married Joanna, daughter of Hon. Richard Treat, Sr., and his first wife Joanna." Joanna (Treat) Hollister, the second child of the family, was baptized three years after the marriage of Richard and his wife Alice Gaylord. Further, the first bequest in Richard Treat's will states: "I give & bequeath to my loving wife Alis Treat after my decease..." Thus, there is no factual support for Richard Treat having had a first wife named Joanna or that Alice Gaylord was not the mother of all of Richard's known children.

Richard, wife Alice and all of their known children emigrated circa 1637 to New England and settled in Wethersfield, Conn. The children, all bapt. of record at St. Andrew & St. Mary Chh. in Pitminster, Somersetshire, England, are:

• i. Honor (q.v. Honora) Treat, bapt. Mar. 19, 1615/6, d. in Wethersfield, Conn. before June 26, 1690; m. circa 1637, John Deming, b. in England circa 1615, and d. in Wethersfield betw. Mar 9, 1699/700 and Nov. 21, 1705. His will dated June 26, 1690 made no provision for wife Honor, presumably then deceased. Ten children of the family.

• ii. Joanna Treat, bapt. May 24, 1618, d. circa Oct 1694 in Wethersfield, Conn; m. Lieut. John Hollister, who d. testate in Wethersfield in Apr. 1665. Eight children of the family.

• iii. Sarah Treat, bapt. Dec. 3, 1620, d. after June 6, 1673 prob. in Newark, NJ; m. May 20, 1644, Matthew Canfield, s. of Gregory Canfield & Joan Merrill, bapt. Feb. 27, 1603/4 in Harlestone in Northamptonshire, England. He d. Mar. 19, 1672/3 in Newark, NJ. Sarah & her husband followed Sarah's brother Robert to Newark in the Province of East Jersey, now Newark, NJ, where Robert was the principal founder in 1666 of Newark. Nine children of the family. [an ancestor of the writer's spouse followed Robert Treat to Newark and was one of the 66 founding proprietors of Newark.]

• iv. Ens. Richard Treat, Jr., bapt. Sept. 9, 1623, d. in Feb 1692/3 in Wethersfield, Conn; m. circa 1661 Sarah Coleman, dau. of Thomas, who d. Aug. 23, 1734 in Wethersfield. Four children of the family.

• v. Gov. Robert Treat, bapt. Feb. 25, 1623/4, d. July 10, 1710 in Milford, Conn; m. 1) Dec. 25, 1647 Jane Tapp, dau. of Hon. Edmund and Jane Tapp, who d. in Milford Apr. 8, 1703. He m. 2) Oct. 24, 1705 in Milford, Elizabeth (Powell) Bryan, dau. of Elder Michael and Abigail Powell, the wid. of Richard Bryan. She was b. June 16, 1641 in Dedham, Mass. and d. Jan. 10, 1705/6 in Milford. At least seven children of the family, all by first wife Jane Tapp.

• vi. Elizabeth Treat, bapt. July 25, 1627, d. after Jan. 19, 1662/63 (date of her supposed husband's will) but before her father's will of Feb. 1668/9. Per John H. Treat in 1893 (The Treat Family 485), she supposedly m. circa 1649 George Wolcott, who d. testate in Wethersfield, Conn. betw. Jan. 19, 1662/63 (date of his will) and Feb. 12, 1662/3 when his estate inventory was made. George Wolcott and his wife Elizabeth had four known children, but per Donald Lines Jacobus in 1952 (Hale, House 767) there was no proof that George Wolcott was the son-in-law of Richard Treat, Sr. or that Richard Treat had Wolcott grandchildren.

• vii. Susanna Treat, bapt. Oct. 8, 1629, d. testate in Hartford, Conn. before Nov. 7, 1705, the date her Jan. 23, 1698 will was proved (her estate inventory was taken Nov. 12, 1705); m. Nov. 10, 1653 prob. in Wethersfield, Conn., Lieut. Robert Webster, s. of Gov. John Webster & Agnes Smith, bapt. Nov. 17, 1619 in Cossington, Leicestershire, England. He was named in Richard Treat's will, was one of the will's three overseers and was a named appraiser of Richard's estate invemtory. He d. testate in 1676 in Hartford. Eleven children of the family. [they are the writer's ancestors.]

• viii. Alice Treat, bapt. Feb. 16, 1631/2; bur. as an infant in Pitminster Aug. 2, 1633.

• ix. Lieut. James Treat, bapt. July 20, 1634, d. Feb. 12, 1708/9 in Wethersfield, Conn; m. Jan. 26, 1664/5, Rebecca Latimer, dau. of John & Ann Latimer, b. Oct. 6, 1646 in Wethersfield where she d. Aug. 23, 1734. Nine children of the family. [Rebecca (Latimer) Treat's brother John is the writer's ancestor.]

• x. Katherine Treat, bapt. June 29, 1637; m. Nov. 19, 1655 in Boston, Mass., Rev. William Thompson of New London, Conn. and Surry County, VA, latter where they purportedly died.

Inscription
At the time of Richard's death, the Wethersfield Village Cemetery was the town's only cemetery. Unfortunately, by 1899 only two gravestones of those who died prior to 1700 were still extant, and Richard's was not one of them.

Patentee -- Royal Charter of Connecticut from Charles II of England, 1662. One of the twelve appointed Assistants of said Company established in said Royal Charter. Ensign -- Wethersfield Trainband, Feb. 1653. Corporal -- Connecticut Colonial Troop, March 1658. Richard was baptized under the name Trott, married under the name Trett; his children were baptized as Trott, and Tratt, and he was called Treat when he died. It is not known when he came to the colonies. Some theorized he settled in Watertown, Massachusetts in 1637, but he is first recorded at Wethersfield, CT September 6, 1641, when he recorded his purchase of John Whitmore's house, barn and 12-1/2 acres of land. On November 13 1654, Richard and his son Richard were censured by the Particular Court saying "there is several in Wethersfield hath not upheld theire howses upon theire home lotts according as the Law requires ...." He was one of the judges who presided over the witchcraft trial of Nathaniel Greensmith and his wife, in December of 1662. Extracts from the Pitminster Church, Pitminster, Somerset, England, visitor brochure concerning the Trott / Treat family: present organ was built by Messrs. Minns of Taunton in 1905 and has an oak case presented by John Harvey Treat of America, who also gave the clock tower in 1903. The name Treat is also connected with the oldest bell in the present ring of eight bells. The bell of 1630 was cast at Nvnehead, a few miles away, by two brothers from a famous family of bell-founders, Richard and Roger Purdie. In all, three bells were then cast at the order of the young Vicar, Walter Travers, but the question of payment caused discontent among some folks in the parish. They were led by one Richard Trott, a respected yeoman. Some years after the case had been heard in the Bishop's Court at Wells, Richard Trott, (then aged 53) emigrated to the New World with his large family. He became a leader of the English colony of Connecticut (his surname then spelt as 'Treat"), his son Robert was made Governor and one of his very numerous descendants signed the Declaration of Independence. His story is told on the memorial tablet fixed to the north wall. Plaques found in the Pitminster Church, Pitminster, Somerset, England include:
IN MEMORY OF RICHARD TREAT, ALIAS TROTT, BAPTIZED IN THIS CHURCH AUG. 28 1584 WHO EMIGRATED TO NEW ENGLAND WITH HIS FAMILY IN 1637 AND WAS CREATED ONE OF THE PATENTEES OF THE CHARTER OF THE COLONY OF CONNECTICUT, BY KING CHARLES II IN 1662. HIS SON ROBERT TREAT WAS BAPTIZED FEB. 25 1624 AND WAS DEPUTY GOVERNOR AND GOVERNOR OF THE COLONY FOR 30 YEARS. THIS BRASS WAS ERECTED IN 1902 BY THEIR AMERICAN DESCENDANT JOHN HARVEY TREAT OF AMERICA. THE EAST WINDOW WAS DEDICATED BY THE BISHOP OF BATH AND WELLS THE REVEREND GEORGE LEONARD CARY ON 2ND JULY 1989. IT WAS GIVEN BY THE PEOPLE AND FRIENDS OF PITMINSTER CHURCH INCLUDING DESCENDANTS OF RICHARD TROTT IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF THE HONORABLE WILLIAM W. TREAT

; from Ancestry.com: [quote]In the ancient church of St. Andrew and St. Mary in the hamlet of South Trundle, parish of Trull, Pitminster, Co. Somerset, Eng., is a Memorial Brass, erected (1903) bearing the following inscription: " In memory of Richard Treat, alias Trott, Baptized in this Church, Aug. 28, 1584, who emigrated to New England with his family , in 1637, and was one of the Patentees of the Charter of the Colony of Connecticut, by King Charles II, in 1662. His son, Robert Treat, was baptized February 25th, 1624 and was Deputy Governor and Governor of the Colony, for 30 years. This Brass was erected, in 1902, by their descendant John Harvey Treat, of America.".

There seems to be some discrepancy as to Richard Treat's wife. In the Hollister Family of America compiled by Lafayette Case on page 28, "He married first, Joanna, by whom he had several children, among whom were Robert, governor of Connecticut for many years, and Joanna, wife of Lieut John Hollister. His second wife Alice survived him, and is mentioned in his will. He died in 1669."

However in Ancient Wethersfield, Conn. by Henry R. Stiles, Vol II on Genealogies and Biographies, page 711, "...m. in Eng.(under the name of Trett) 27 Apl., 1615, Alice (dau. Hugh) Gaylord, of P., b. 1594. Their ch. were all b. in Eng.--under the name of Trott and Tratt." [end quote]12

; Ancestry.com: [quote] HON. RICHARD TREAT, SR.
Richard Treat, Sr., was one of the first settlers of Wethersfield, and represented that town in the first general court in 1637. He was appointed in 1642 by the general court, in connection with Gov. Wyllys, Messrs. Haines, Hopkins, Whiting, and others, to superintend building a ship, and to collect a revenue for that object. In 1643 he was a colonial grand juror, and in 1644 a member of the general court to which he was several times re‰lected. From 1658 to 1665, he was an assistant magistrate of the colony and was named in the royal charter of Charles II. as one of the patentees. He was one of the collectors of the Fenwick tax and of the fund for the support of students in the college at Cambridge.from [end quote].16

; from Ancestry.com: [quote]source: Lusk Family by Willard C. Lusk.
Richard Treat, according to the "Anthon Genealogy" by Stuyvesant Fish, was the son of Rober and Honora or Honour Trott, and Grandson of Richard and Joanna Trott, all of Pitminster, County Somerset, England. His great grandfather was probably William Trott of Staplegrove and his great-great-grandfather, John Trott also of Staplegrove.

Richard Treat, baptized 28 Aug 1584 in Pitminster Church, Somerset, England was a man of high social standing and influence according to Stiles in his "Geneolgies of Ancient Wethersfeild." He married, in England, on 27 April 1615, Alice, the daughter of Hugh Gaylord of Pitminster. She born 10 May 1594. Their children were all born in England. The family came to New England after 1637, the first mention of them in CT being in 1643. Richard Treat died in 1669-70; hi8s wife died in 1694.

He was baptized under the name of "Trott," married under the name of "Trett"; his children were baptized by the names of "Trott" and "Tratt" and he was called "Treat" when he died. [end quote]15 EDV-9.
