THOMAS1 TREADWELL appears to have settled first at Dorchester, Mass., where his proportion of land on the Neck (sometimes called Ludlow's Neck) was, 18 Mar., 1637, "3 acres, 3 goods, 20 rodes," and of other land, "3 acres, 3 goods, 26 rodes"; but prior to 23 Apr., 1638, he had moved to Ipswich, Mass., on which date he sold his Dorchester holdings (Boston Rec. Com. Report, No. 4, pp. 31, 34). His wife was probably Mary Taylor, sister of Samuel Taylor who died in Ipswich, in June, 1695.
In his will, Thomas Treadwell mentions "my sister Bachellor," and the inventory of his estate refers to "Bro. Bacheller." The names of Thomas Treadwell and his wife appear several times in the inventory of the estate of Henry Bacheller who died in Ipswich, 3 Feb., 1678.
Theophilus Wilson in his will, 1690, mentions Nathaniel Treadwell as his "cozzen;" and John Giddings, in a deposition made in 1664, recites a like relationship between Nathaniel2 Treadwell and Thomas Wilson.
Both Felt and Savage mention a John Treadwell in Ipswich in 1638; but Pope omits him, and the author has never been able to find the original record upon which to base such a claim. In 1637, an Edward Treadwell first appears in this country on the Ipswich records. Later, he settled on Long Island, New York, where he died, leaving two sons from whom have sprung the Connecticut and Long Island Tre(a)dwells, a very numerous and widely scattered family. The aforesaid Thomas and Edward were probably brothers; but no other evidence for this statement has been discovered than this contemporaneous residence in Ipswich.
In Hotten's "Original Lists" we find that on 28 July, 1635, Thomas Tredwell, a smith, Mary Tredwell, each aged 30 years, and Thomas Tredwell, aged one year, embarked from London in the Hopewell, with certificate from the minister of St. Giles Cripplegate, but an examination of the records at St. Giles Cripplegate, made in 1889 by Mr. Benjamin F. Treadwell, failed to disclose the Tre(a)dwell name. A subsequent examination in 1967 by Thomas Alanson Tredwell an dhis wife Aileen revealed "July 15, 1634....Thomas, sonne of Thomas Tredwell, smith." This is published in the book "Genealogies of Long Island families" by the New York Genealogical Society.
Thomas Treadwell was admitted freeman, 7 Sept., 1638. Subsequently, he served on several juries in Essex Co. He bought Treadwell Island from William White in 1638. He later turned over the island to his son Thomas who married Sarah Titcomb. His will was made 1 June 1671 and proved 26 September 1671 in Ipswich. He emmigrated from England on 28 July 1635 aboard the Hopewell of London, Thomas Babb, Master. They sailed in mid September and landed at Dorchester in the latter part of November.

His name is the first Romanized Celtic name in a line of Irish, and his son continues with a Celtic name. This could be interuptation or a direct style change of that time as the area was influenced by the remaining Roman Celtics.
He reportedly married the daughter of Clotri, a British lord of Dyfed, descended from Magnus Maximus.
