Tratt, and Treat for Fifteen Generations, and Four Hundred and
Fifty Years in England and America, containing more than Fifteen
Hundred Families in America, With Illustrations, Autographs, and
a Map of Somersetshire.*, Salem MA (The Salem Press) 1893. From
the same, p. 27-8: "The family [parents, etc. of Richard
TREAT/TROTT (1)] lived in the hamlet of Trendle, now the parish
of Trull, in the parish of Pitminster, a large parish and village
4 1/2 miles south of Taunton, now in the Hundred of Taunton Dean,
in the Diocese of Bath and Wells. The soil is clay and the chief
crops are wheat, oats, barley, roots and pasture land. The popu-
lation was 1382 in 1881. ..... According to Collinson;s history
of Somerset, p. 5, Vol. 1, in 1791, Pitminster comprised five
hamlets: Blagson, 47 houses; Leigh, 57 houses; Fulford, 23 hous-
es; Trendle (now Trull), 30 houses; Duddleston, 28 houses. The
village of Pitminster contained 38 houses, and the whole number
of inhabitants was 1036. This manor, anciently called
Pipeminstre and Pipplemenstre, is mentioned in the Domesday book,
1086, and was given by King Hardicnute to the church of Winch-
ester. In the time of King Stephen, the curch of Pitminster was
appropriated to the priory of Taunton, by Henry de Blois, bishop
of Winchester. It is dedicated to St. Andrew and St. Mary. The
present structure is not very ancient but built upon the ruins of
one of the Saxon times. It is eight-eight feet long, and forty
feet wide, in the perpendicular style, consisting of a chancel,
nave, two side aisles, south porch and western tower with a spire
and five bells. There are some ancient and richly carved bench-
es, a finely carved stone pulpit and reredos, and some very in-
teresting altar tombs to the Coles family, dating from the 16th
and 17th centuries. Two of the windows are stained. The sit-
tings are for four hundred people. (See frontispiece.) (P)
Trull, anciently North and South Trendle, is a parish and village
lying between Pitminster and Taunton, two miles south from the
latter and on the high road to Honiton. It was formerly in the
Hundred of Poundisford, now in that of Taunton Dean. The chief
crops are wheat, barley and roots. In 1881, the population was
960. The church of All Saints formerly belonged to the priory of
Taunton. The register of baptisms and burials dates from 1670;
marriages, 1677. The earlier ones have been lost. The fabric is
built of local stone, of the perpendicular period, consisting of
chancel, nave of three bays, aisles, south porch, and an embat-
tled western tower of two stages, with pinnacles, and containing
six bells. Some of the ancient 16th century benches have very
richly carved ends. One represents the ordinary Sunday proces-
sion of a small parish church of the period, and includes (1) a
boy in short surplice, carrying a cross; (2) a man in fleshed
trunk hose and short surplice, carrying a candle or torch; (3) a
similar figure, wearing a maniple on the left arm and carrying a
reliquary; (4) a man in a long surplice, holding an open book,
probably a deacon or second priest; (5) the priest, vested in a
fringed nib and embroidered cope, and holding an open book; nei-
ther holy water nor incense is shown. Another bench end repre-
sents the instruments of the Passion and the figure of a cock;
two more bear the letters S and W respectively, the latter letter
being upheld on the peaks of two birds; at the back of the fur-
therest seat are eight panels, ornamented with the linen pattern
and bearing this inscription: "John Waye Clarke here," and "Susan
Warman, maker of this worke, Ano Dni 1560." Our ancestors must
have sat in these very seats. On the back of the pulpit are fig-
ures of St. John the Evangelist, and the four Latin Doctors;
there is an ancient screen of carved oak and six stained windows.
The church was restored in 1862. (See Kelly's Somerset Directo-
ry, 1889, pp. 308, 309, 374.) If the early Trull registers had
not perished they would doubtless supply many gaps in the family
history." "Robert Trott baptized probably in Trendle, parish of
Pitminster; buried February 16, 1599, in Pitminster; married Hon-
ora, who was buried September 17, 1627, in Pitminster. He had
six children." (Wm F J Boardman, 1906, p 266.)

Children of Robert TROTT TREAT and Honora (Mrs R Trott) ---:

1 Richard (1) TREAT. Born Aug 1584, Pitminster, Somerset,
England. Died 1669, Wethersfield, CT. Married 27 Apr 1615,
Pitminster, Somerset, England, Alice GAYLARD, born ABT 10
May 1594, Pitminster, Somerset, England, died ABT 1670,
daughter of Hugh GAYLARD GAYLORD and (Mrs Hugh Gaylard)
-----. See general note under ----- HILL, father of Daniel
HILL (SR) and Japhet HILL, which describes how Richard TREAT
is a common DIRECT ANCESTOR of us and a signer of the Decla-
ration of Independence. Specifically, a brother (Gov Robert
TREAT) of a DIRECT ANCESTOR (JOANNA TREAT) was a DIRECT AN-
CESTOR of a signer of the Declaration of Independence
(Robert Treat Paine); otherwise stated, the brother Robert
TREAT of our DIRECT ANCESTOR Joanna Treat was maternal
great-grandfather of the signer of the Declaration (July 4,
1776). (The Rev. Thomas PAINE is too early to have been
*the* Thomas PAINE, but might have been related.) "Richard
Treat ..... was born 1584, in Pitminster, probably in the
hamlet of South Trendle, now the parish of Trull, Somerset,
England; baptized in Pitminster church, Aug. 28, 1584; died
---, 1669-70, in Wethersfield, Conn., was alive Oxt. 11,
1669, and the inventory of his estate was presented to
court, March 3, 1669-70; married, April 27, 1615, in Pitmin-
ster, ALICE GAYLARD, who was baptized May 10, 1594, in Pit-
minster, when her name was spelled Gaylaud, and the daughter
of Hugh Gaylard, who was buried Oct. 21, 1614, in Pitmin-
ster, and whose will is recorded in the Taunton Probate
Court in 1614, but has utterly perished. When Alice Treat
died is unknown, but she survived her husband. The tradi-
tion that Alice was a second wife, and that the name of his
first wife was Joanna, who was the mother of Mr. Treat's
children, has proved, upon investigation, to be unfounded.
..... (P's) SOCIAL RANK OF RICHARD TREAT. (P) Mr. Treat
must have been a man of high scoial standing and of much in-
fluence in the town of Wethersfield, and in the colony of
Connecticut. This is evident from the various positions of
trust occupied by him. Titles once meant something. Not ev-
ery one, as at the present day, had Esq. attached to their
names, Even the prefix Mr. or Master was a mark of impor-
tance. It was then a title fully as high as Honorable is
now. Generally speaking, not more than five freemen in a
hundred had the title of Mr., and very few of the deputies
and magistrates. (P) By the General Court of Massachusetts,
Sept. 21, 1631, "It is ordered, that Josias Plastowe shall
(for stealing 4 basketts of corne from the Indians), returne
them 8 basketts againe, be ffined V. and hereafter to be
called by the name Josias, & not Mr. as formerly hee vsed to
be." (Mass. Records, 1:92.) (P) In the list of freemen of
Wethersfield for 1659, only three besides Richard Treat,
sr., are styled Mr., and he bore that title as early as
1642, and perhaps earlier. In 1695, out of a list of 114
legal inhabitants of Eastham, Mass., only two have the title
of Mr.,---Mr. Sunderland, who was the schoolmaster and held
in high respect, and Mr. Treat the minister [presumably some
non-related Treat, or a misprint --- Richard Treat (1) and
(2) of this database both died before 1695, Lt Thomas Treat
of the next generation wasn't a minister, and Richard Treat
(3) of this database, who *was* a minister, was born in
1694]. It is said that Mr. Treat was a deputy from Wethers-
field as early as 1637, but there is no proof of this so far
as I know and it is doubtful whether he was there as early
as that. Certainly he is not mentioned as one in the Con-
necticut Records before 1644. He was chosen a juror, June
15, 1643, --- a high position then, generally only occupied
by the most prominent persons, --- and grand juror, Sept. 15
of the same year (C.C.R. 1:88,93.) (P) In April, 1644, he
was chosen deputy, and was annually elected for fourteen
years, up to 1657-8 (ib. 1:103). He was elected assistant,
or magistrate, eight times, from March 11, 1657-8 to 1665
(ib. 1:310). Oct. 25, 1644, he and Mr. Wells were the com-
mittee from Wethersfield to receive money for maintaining
scholars at Cambridge (ib. 1:112). In 1654, he was chosen
on a committee to lay out lands granted by the town. In
1660, he was a townsman, an office answering to the present
selectmen. Oct. 4, 1660, he was appointed to examine Thirty
mile Island, a valuable township, thirty miles from the
mouth of the Connecticut, with a view to settlement. In
1663, he was appointed to procure a minister. he also held
various other offices of honor and trust, which have been
mentioned [earlier]. (P) March 14, 1660-1, the General
Court of Connecticut applied to King Charles II, for a char-
ter for their colony, which was granted April 23, 1662. It
was of a very liberal character. Richard Treat, and two of
his sons-in-law, John Deming and Matthew Camfield, were
among the patentees: "CHARLES THE SECOND, BY THE GRACE of
God, King of England, Scotland, France and Ireland, defender
of the Faith, &c,: TO ALL to whome theis shall come, Greet-
ing: WHEREAS, by the several Navigations, discoveryes &
successfull Plantations of diverse of our loveing Subjects
of this our Realme of England, Several Lands, Islands,

Associates, and those under whome they Clayme, Subdued and
improved, and thereby become a considerable enlargement and
addition of our Dominions and interest there, --- NOW KNOW
YEA" &c. (C.C.R. 2:3-11.) (P) He was a member of Gover-
nor Winthrop's Council, Dec. 17, 1663, and July 1, 1664 (ib.
15:388). (P) Mr. Treat was also a man of considerable
wealth for those times and an extensive land owner in
Wethersfield. At the laying out of the Naubuc farms, which
consisted of lands on the east side of the Connecticut riv-
er, within the limits of what was then Wethersfield, but now
Glastonbury, in 1640, or as early as 1639, the town gave him
a large tract of land, lot No. 36, 310 rods wide by the riv-
er, computing south from Roaring Brook, and extending back a
long ways into the wilderness, some three miles. The exact
size of this lot is not known, but is supposed to have con-
tained about 900 acres. It was called the "farm of Nayog,"
and long known as the "Treat farm." Richard Treat, jr., in-
herited this farm. He also bought several homesteads .....
He gave away much of his property while alive. One of the
lots which he owned in 1641, remained in the family down to
about 1855. It was on Broad street. No one by the name of
Treat now (1890) lives in Wethersfield." ---John Harvey
Treat, *The Treat Family: A Genealogy of Trott, Tratt, and
Treat for Fifteen Generations, and Four Hundred and Fifty
Years in England and America, containing more than Fifteen
Hundred Families in America*, Salem, MA (Salem Press) 1893,
p. 26-29 "RICHARD TROTT or TREAT, baptized at Pitminster
[co. Somerset, England], 28 Aug. 1584, died at Wethersfield,
Conn., (before 3 Mar.) 1669/70; married at Pitminster, 27
Apr. 1615, ALICE GAYLARD, baptized at Pitminster, 10 May
1594, died after 1670, daughter of Hugh Gaylard. (P) his
children were baptized by the names of Trott and Tratt, and
he was called Treat when he died." He signed documents with
the spellings Treat and Treate. Winthrop referred to him in
1669 as Mr. Richard Treat, senior, above 80 years. But in
1657 he noted Elizabeth Treat, 1 1/2 years, a daughter of
"Mathias Treat alias Trott---a Kinsman of Mr. Trott." These
entries show Winthrop's knowledge of the shift in spelling
the name, and confirm the opinion of the compiler of *The
Treat Family* that Mathhias Treat of Wethersfield was a rel-
ative of Mr. Richard Treat. (P) Alice Gaylard (Gaylord,
Gaylaud) was daughter of Hugh Gaylard who appears in Taunton
Manor Registers as early as 1573, and was buried at Pitmin-
ster, 21 Oct. 1614. He was probably son of Nicholas and Jo-
hane Gaylard, and by 1608 had an adult son George. (P)
Richard Trotte appears in the Taunton Manor Registers, which
show that in 1600 he held land by surrender (because of
death) of Robert Trotte, Honora relict of said Robert to
hold during her widowhood. The family lived in the hamlet
of Trendle (now the parish of Trull), in the large parish of
Pitminster, less than five miles south of Taunton. Here all
his children were born. (P) He emigrated after the baptism
of his youngest child in June 1637, and was living in
Wethersfield, Conn., by 1641, when entry of his land hold-
ings was made there. He served as Deputy for Wethersfield
to the General Court at the sessions of Apr. and Sept. 1644,
Apr., Sept. and Dec. 1645, Apr. and Oct. 1646, May and
Sept. 1647, May and Sept. 1648, May and Sept. 1649, May and
Oct. 1650, May and Sept. 1651, May and Sept. 1652, May and
Sept. 1653, May and Sept. 1654, May and Oct. 1655, May 1656,
Feb., May and Oct. 1657; and as Assistant of the Colony from
May 1658 to May 1665, He was named as a Patentee of the
Royal Charter of Connecticut in 1662. of his estate was
taken 3 March 1669/70. His will gave to his wife, "Alis
Treat," all lands in Wethersfield, two cows, and a bed, bed-
ding and household goods. To his eldest son, Richard Treat,
he confirmed the farm at "Nayog." To his second son, Robert
Treat, #10 [pounds]. To his youngest son, James Treat, in
addition to all lands given him, "my mill & grinding stone
fann Timber Chaines, stillyars & my little bible." To his
son-in-law, Matthew Campfield, #20 [pounds]. To daughter
Hollister, 40s. To daughter Johnson, 10s. To sons [by mar-
riage] John Demon (Deming) and Robert Webster, the remainder
of his goods and chattels; his great Bible to his daughter
Honour Demon. He mentions cousin [the husband of a grand-
daughter] Samuel Wells and cousin [granson] David Deming,
son of John Demon, Sr. His son-in-law John Demon, Robert
Webster and Richard Treat to be overseers." Among his chil-
dren: i. HONOR, bapt. 19 Mar. 1615/16; m. JOHN DEMING of
Wethersfield, Conn., who d. perhaps late in 1694, certainly
before 25 Apr. 1695. He was Deputy, Dec. 1645, Oct. 1646,
Sept. 1649, May 1650, May and Sept. 1651, May and Sept.
1652, Apr. and Oct, 1653, Apr. 1654, May 1655, Oct. 1656,
Feb. and May 1657, May and Oct. 1658, May and Oct. 1659, May
and Oct. 1660, May and Oct. 1661, Oct. 1667, May and Oct.
1668, May 1669, and Oct. 1672; and in 1662 was named Paten-
tee of the Royal Charter. He was brother of Elizabeth, wife
of Nathaniel Foote, and afterward the second wife of Gov.
Thomas Welles; her will, appointing him an overseer of her
estate, called him "my beloved Brother." Is is doubtful
whether Honor Treat was the first wife of John Deming, or
mother of the elder children, John, Sarah, and Jonathan; she
was certainly mother of the seven other children. ii.

---R. R. Hinman, *Catalogue of the Names of the First Puri-
tan Settlers of the Colony of Connecticut*; Hartford (E.
Gleason) 1846, no. 1, p. 82-83 "RICHARD TREAT, son of Robert
Treat (Trott, Tratt, Tratte, Trat, Tret), was born in 1584,
in Pitminster, Somerset County, England, and was baptized
August 28th of that year. [Footnote: See *The Treat Fami-
ly*, by John Harvey Treat; Stile's *History of Wethers-
field*, II: 710ff.] A brass tablet in the ancient church
of South Trendle, parish of Trull, Pitminster, bears the
following inscription: "In memory of Richard Treat, alias
Trott, Baptised 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 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."
On April 27, 1615, he married in Pitminster, ALICE GAYLARD,
baptized May 10, 1594, daughter of Hugh Gaylard. Mr. Treat
came to New England in 1637, and it is supposed, settled in
Wethersfield, Conn., soon after arriving. In 1641, his
first recorded homestead was on the west side of Broad
street, at the extreme northern end. ,,,,, A few years lat-
er he bought the Mathhew Mitchell homestead on Broad street,
the second lot north of Fletcher's Lane. (P) Mr. Treat was
one of the prominent men of the Colony. He was chosen
Deputy from his town in April, 1644, and annually for the
next four years. He was Assistant or Magistrate eight times
from March, 1657 to 1665. In 1657, he was Constable, and
Townsman in 1660, and probably earlier. He and his son-in-
