Descendants of Richard TREAT, Honorable




Generation No. 1


1. RICHARD5 TREAT, HONORABLE (ROBERT4 TROTT, RICHARD3, WILLIAM2, JOHN1)1 was born Abt. 1584 in Pitminster, Somerset, England1, and died March 03, 1669/70 in Wethersfield, Hartford, CT1. He married ALICE GAYLORD1 April 27, 1615 in Pitminster, Somerset, England, daughter of HUGH GAYLARD and ALICE.

Notes for RICHARD TREAT, HONORABLE:
Richard Treat was married and all his children baptised at the Church of St. Andrews and St.
Mary's. They immigrated around 1637.

From the "Record of Qualified Huguenot Ancestors", fourth Edition, 1885: Alice Gaylard (Gaylord,
Gaylaud) was the daughter of Hugh Gaylard who appears in Taunton Manor Registers as early as
573, and was buried at Pitminster, 21 Oct.1614. He was probably son of Nicholas and Johane
Gaylard, and by 1608 had an adult son George.

From "Hale, House and Related Families", by D.L. Jacobus and E.G. Waterman: Richard Treat
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. 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
Mathias Treat of Wethersfield was a relative of Mr. Richard Treat.

From "English Origins of American Colonists", Ancestry Inc., 1997, page 48: List Richard Trott
Treat, Sr. and wife Alice as coming to America c. 1630 with their nine surviving children, settling

Richard Treat as being Deputy from 1644-1648, Governor's Assistant from 1657-1665, and one of
the patentees named in the charter granted by Charles II.

From "Adams", Vol. 2, p. 711: The family, tho. having no place in the Mass. Recs., probably
came to N. Eng. after 1637, and sett. at Watertown in that colony. The first mention of him in
Conn. is, as a juror, June, 1642....and in 1662, when King Charles II granted the colony a charter,
he was named in that doc. as one of the patentees....

Dr. Case, in his book of the "Hollister is America", has this to say about Richard Treat, Sr. (p. 28): Richard Treat, Sr. was one of the first settlers of Wethersfield, and represented that town...

Side note from "America's Successful Men of Affairs", edited by Henry Hall, 1895, Vol. 1, page 3:
List Henry Carlton Hulbert, merchant, a son of New England, whose upright, energetic and
successful life in the metropolis illustrates the virtues of the Puritan ancestry from which he
descends. He traces his descent from several notable families. His paternal ancestor, Lieut.
Thomas Hurlbut, came from England with Leon Gardiner about 1635, and afterward settled in
Wethersfield, Conn. He served as an officer of the Pequot War. Through the marriage of John
Hulbert, son of the pioneer, Dec. 15, 1670 with Honor Treat Deming, daughter of John Deming,
he descends from Richard Treat, the father of Gov. Robert Treat of Connecticut. Both Richard
Treat and John Deming were among the patentees of the famous charter, which was granted to
Connecticut and afterward concealed in the Charter Oak at Hartford. Amos Hulbert, grandfather
of the subject of this sketch, was a soldier of the American Revolution.[steph1.GED]
