Jacobus Profile:^[6]

34. Dorothy3 Bulkeley ( Gershom 2, Peter1), bom at (Wethersfield, Conn.?), died at Glastonbury, Conn., in 1757 ; married at Wethersfield, 5 July 1693, (Lieut.) Thomas Treat, born at Wethersfield, 12 Dec. 1668, died at Glastonbury, 17 Jan. 1712/3.

The will of Thomas, dated 13 June 1709, proved 12 Mar. 1712/3; “called forthwith to go upon Her Majestie’s service against Canada” ; real estate to sons, eldest son Richard to have a double share, they to pay each of their sisters £100 at 18 years of age; Richard only to have single share if educated at college; wife Dorothy. Mutual agreement of the sons, Richard, Charles, Thomas', Isaac, and Dorotheus, for distribution, 17 July 1735.

Colonial Records. He [Thomas] was Deputy for Glastonbury, May 1703. Apr. 1707, and May and Oct. 1712. He was interpreter and manager of the Indians who served in the expedition to Wood Creek, Mar. 1710/1. He was commissioned Lieut, of the company in Glastonbury, May 1711.

Glastonbury Deeds. Dorothy Treat of Glastonbury conveyed. 23 July 1739, to her daughter Sarah Tryon. She conveyed. 30 Sept. 1751, to her grandson Joseph Stevens, and if he should die without heirs of his body, the land to return to all her children, namely, Richard, Charles, Thomas, and Isaac Treat, Dorotheus Treat, Dorothy Baulding, and Sarah Tryon. She conveyed, same date, to her son Dorotheus; and on 19 Nov. 1754 to her grandson Jonathan Treat and son Dorotheus Treat.

The records show that there was some friction between Dorothy and her brother, the Rev. John Bulkeley, after their father’s death, [she sued him over a family bible] and indicate that she was strong-minded and perhaps of a domineering personality. Administration on her estate was granted. 7 June 1757, to Isaac Treat and Joseph Hollister of Gloucester; Inventory, £9.0.7.
