The English Origins of the Howe and Treadway Families of Watertown, Massachusetts. American Genealogist (D.L. Jacobus). (Jul 1995), 70:171@178.

NATHANIEL(A) TREADWAY, bon say 1585; died England probably before 1630; married St Botolph, Colchester, Essex, England 21 September 1614 MARY HOWE, baptized Boxted, Essex, England 23 January 1591/2, daughter of EDWARD and ANN (LUMPKIN) HOWE of Boxted, England (see Howe Chapter).

Because it is likely this couple's son was in New England before 1639 and perhaps even earlier, it is supposed that Nathaniel^ died quite young. The son may have come with, or later joined, his uncle Edward Howe of Watertown.

In a 1995 letter, Strephon B. Treadway raised the interesting possibility that Anne, the wife of Deacon John^ Stone, was not a Treadway as had long been supposed, but instead the daughter of Barnaby and Mary (Wells) Rogers, and thus a niece of Margaret (Wells) Howe, wife of Edward Howe. Based on the wills of both Edward Howe and Margaret Howe, Anne was interpreted by Bartlett to be a sister of the other Howe heir, Nathaniel Treadway (see Howe Chapter). If she were kin to Margaret, one would expect that Anne would receive more in the will of her blood aunt, than she would in that of her uncle by marriage, Edward Howe. An examination of the probates shows that this could be one of the possible interpretations. After leaving bequests to his wife, Anne Stone and Nathaniel Treadway, Edward Howe specifically instructed his wife to leave Anne Stone one third part of all the cattle. It is possible to interpret this to mean "no more than" one third part, thus supporting the idea that Margaret would seek to leave a more substantial legacy to her supposed niece. This is balanced, however, by the fact that Howe debtor Thomas Mayhew deeded a 300 acre grant jointly to Nathaniel Treadway and John Stone, showing no preference between the two heirs {Gregory Stone genealogy, 68). Margaret left one half her estate to Nathaniel Treadway, one sixth of her estate to her sister Mary (Wells) Rogers and the Rogers children John and Elizabeth of Boxted in Old England, and two sixths of her estate to John Stone of Sudbury (Middlesex Probate 1:256-7). Anne Rogers was baptized in Boxted 14 May 1615 and is well within the age range expected of the wife of John Stone. While it is possible that Anne ( ) Stone was the daughter of Nathaniel Treadway and Mary Howe, we have no direct evidence that such a child was ever born. Unfortunately, although many Treadway wills have been read and many Treadway baptisms found, no additional information beyond the marriage record at Colchester has been added to the immigrant Nathaniel Treadway's family. We cannot demonstrate the existence of an Anne Treadway who might have married John Stone, but we can demonstrate the baptism of an Anne Rogers, niece of Margaret (Wells) Howe. Given this evidence, we believe that it is more likely that Anne, the wife of John Stone, was a niece of Margaret (Wells) Howe, than the alternate theory presented by us in TAG 70:171.
