Blessed are the dead which die

in the Lord; for they rest from their

labours and their works do follow

them. 

Nathaniel Treadwell is my 6th great grand uncle.  I descend from his brother, Jabez Treadwell (1713 - 1780) and his wife, Lucy Haskell.   Nathaniel Treadwell was born 10 September 1700 in Ipswich, the son of Nathaniel Treadwell (1677 - 1723) and Hannah Unknown.  He was married twice, first in 1725 to Mercy Smith, and second to Hannah Endicott (above), the daughter of Zerrubabel and Mary Endicott.
