Nathaniel Treadway/Tredway was the first Treadway to have settled in the New Colonies. Many Treadway lines have descended from him. He was born 07 Aug 1615 in Semley, England and immigrated to Sudbury, Midddlesex Co., Massachusetts ca 1639. According to a post in the Treadway GenForum by Helen Kinsey, Nathaniel's parents were Nathaniel Treadway and Mary Howe. Nathaniel and Mary were married at St. Botolphe, Colchester, Essex, England on 21 Sept 1614. Mary Howe was baptized at Boxted, Essex., England on 23 Jan 1591/92, the daughter of Edward and Ann (Lumpkin) Howe. Mary was the sister of Edward Howe of Massachusetts. Edward and his wife Margaret both left part of their estates to Nathaniel Treadway, which led some to jump to the conclusion that his wife must be a Howe. Nathaniel Treadway born 1615 later relocated to Watertown, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts ca 1645. He married Sufferance Haynes ca 1639. Sufferance was born 11 Sept 1620 in Shaston, Co. Dorset, England to Walter Haynes and Elizabeth Gourd.

Many people say the Sufferance was the daughter of an Edward or Walter Howe, but the Estate records of Walter Haynes, (Middlesex South Probate records) dated 25 May 1659, proved 04 Apr 1665, show his daughter's last name as Treadway (Treddoway). The Haynes family immigrated to the New Colony of Massachusetts aboard the "Confidence" in 1638.

Nathaniel was a very prominent man. He was a weaver by trade. Nathaniel was a selectman, a highway surveyor, and a member of the meeting house. Nathaniel died on 15 June 1659 in Watertown, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts, and Sufferance died on 22 July 1682 in Watertown, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts.
