Burning Springs, Clay County, KY, February 10, 1898, (Pgs 2149-2152)
I was born in Owsley County, Ky, Oct. 22, 1854. My father's name was Elisha B. TREADWAY. He was born in Clay Co., August 26, 1824. He was a son of William W. TREADWAY who was born on Brush Creek, Montgomery Co., Ky near Red River in the year 1800, March 11th. He was a son of Peter TREADWAY who was born in Maryland. He had a brother, William, who emigrated to Central Ohio and has a large progeny, and another brother who went to N.C. A member of that family named Peter TREADWAY came to Clay County and settled on Goose Creek, seven miles below Manchester. James and Robert of this county are his sons. The family name was originally spelled "TREDVAS" It seems to be a German name. The time the family came to England we do not know, nor can we tell just when the family came to Maryland. I do not know whether there were any Revolutionary soldiers in the family. My father was in Manly S.V. THOMPSON'S regiment in the Mexican War. He was also a soldier in the Civil War. I am in correspondence with a relative of mine at Pittsburg. Pa., who is preparing a genealogy of the TREADWAY family. He is descended from the Ohio branch of the family.

My grandmother BOWMAN, Margaret was the daughter of Jacob BOWMAN in Clay County who came to Clay when a boy with his father, Cornelius BOWMAN came to Owsley County in 1796 being the first settler of what is now Owsley County. He located on the opposite side of the river from the present site of Booneville on the farm now owned by S.B. SHEPHERD. Cornelius BOWMAN became a citizen of Owsley County and bought lands for his children and afterwards returned to his lands in Madison County. His children were: Jacob, Cornelius, Elisha, Elijah, Thomas, John, Mrs. James MOORE and other daughters. Jacob married an EVANS. He was my great grandfather.
Note: the daughter was Mrs. William Moore, Deborah - not Mrs. James Moore.
