120 He "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.(*) (*) See The Treat Family, by John Harvey Treat; Stiles's History of Wethersfield, 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. This homestead, which he bought of Thurston Rayner, abutted on Broad street, S. E.; a "Green or Common," N. W.; home-lot of Samuel Hubbard, S. W.; Short street (now Marsh Avenue), N. E. A few years later he bought the Matthew Mitchell homestead on Broad street, the second lot north of Fletcher's Lane.

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-law, Mr. John Deming, were original patentees named in the Charter granted April 23, 1662. His son, Major Robert Treat, of Milford, was Governor of Connecticut as above stated.

Richard Treat died between Oct., 1669, and the following March. His widow survived him, but the date of her death has not been found. In his will, dated February 13, 1668, he names his wife Alice, sons Richard, Robert, and James, his sons-in-law, Matthew Campfield, and John Deming, and daughters Honor and Joanna. The inventory of his estate, which was exhibited March 3, 1669-70, amounted to oe69 10s. 8d. "120
