I skip an
entire generation because my father was 50 years old
when I was born. He was 23 years older than my mother.
So I knew Seth Harris, Bob Harris [an attorney in
Atlanta] and I may have met two of my grandmother’s
sisters when I was about 4 years old. My brother died
from complications from AIDS in Atlanta in 1989 [a life
changing experience for me as I became his “girl
Friday” and nurse the last two years of his life]. He
was the one who kept in contact and all the family
records. My mother’s mother died during the influenza
epidemic in 1917 and she was packed off by her father to
live with cousins, so I knew no family member of
her family other than the history that they
were debentures coming from the British Isles
into Savannah in the late 1600s. They were farmers.
Some of
Treadwells meandered from NY, CT into the
Carolinas and after the AR, they begin to migrate again
into what then was a territory in what’s now
Dalton.
The Treadwells have connections with the Greens,
Loughridges, Blacks, Hills, etc. About 1919 or early
20s, a Treadwell cousin was shot at a barn dance.
Evidently, it was a traveling salesman that came
through Dalton often, my father, Thelma Treadwell (Bond)
and Smith Treadwell were together. An inappropriate
comment was made to Thelma and Smith treated the
man. I’m not sure but shortly there after, Smith and the
man met and Smith shot the man. When the case went to
court in Murray County the Treadwells wanted my father
to testify that Smith did not threaten the man but my
father would not. It’s as if my father became
the “black sheep” of the family there after. I
think the article can be found in the historical
archives. Thelma later married a Bond. Her sons, Moses
and Merritt donated Treadwell land referred to as God’s
Acre which was in the Moravian Church and established in
1812 when there was a strong presence of Cherokee
Indians in the area. Thelma Treadwell Bond was
given the land by her father, Smith Treadwell, Esq. and
she and her husband held on to the land until it was
donated in 2002 but there was no mention of the land
being owned by the Treadwells or their mother; this land
was part of a land grant Smith Treadwell and William
White are given after the AR.
