YEAR OF HIS

AGE.

John Treadwell is my first cousin nine generations removed.  His father, Thomas Treadwell (1634 - 1712/3) was the brother of my 8th great grandfather, Nathaniel Treadwell (1637 - 1726).   John Treadwell was the third owner of Treadwell Island, when it was left to him in his father's will.

John Treadwell was the son of Thomas Treadwell and Sarah Titcomb.  He was born on 28 November 1670 in Ipswich, and died 16 December 1727 in Ipswich.  On 23 June 1723 he filed his marriage intention in Ipswich, to marry Mary Fowler, the daughter of Phillip Fowler and Elizabeth Herrick.  Elizabeth Herrick (1647 - 1727) was my 10th great aunt.  In another lineage I descend from Elizabeth's brother Henry Herrick (1640 - 1702).

John Treadwell and Mary Fowler had eight children.
