Biography

He was the son of George Treon and Susanna Reitz (spelled Wrights on his marriage record).

He married Crissy Nickle, daughter of John Nickle and Rebecca Harman, on 29 Dec 1853 in Williamsport, Lycoming, PA.^[1][2] Children:

1. William Treon b abt 1854
2. Emma Treon b abt 1856
3. Alla (Mary A) Treon b abt 1858/9 married Jno? Keller
4. Asher Treon b abt 1865
5. May Treon b abt 1871

A note in church records says that Dr. George W. Treon was "Received on profession of faith 19 Jan 1878".^[3] Listed there is also probably his wife, name spelled Chrissie Treon. If that is her, she was deceased by April, 1881.

A burial record for Doctor George Treon in Turbotville, Northumberland, Pennsylvania exists.^[4] The church also records his death as occurring on 15 Sep 1891 at the age of 59 years, 8 months and 12 days.^[4]This gives him a calculated birth date of 13 Jan 1833, used above.

Letters of administration were granted to William Treon and George D. Keller on 14 Oct 1891. His widow renounced her right to administer the estate. Date of death is recorded in the court record.^[5] It is likely that George D. Keller is the husband of daughter Mary A. Treon -- while the church records mentioned above mention that Mary married Jno (John) Keller, though the writing is small and not very good and it should say Geo Keller.

Research Question

Did George Treon marry again after the death of his wife Crissey (Nichol) Treon in 1880? Annie I. Ellis who had a son George Ellis Treon (b 1891) appears a likely candidate as a second wife, and the pair of them are mentioned in George Ellis Treon's obituary as his parents. On Annie's death certificate and tombstone she is listed as "wife of Dr. George Treon", and George Ellis Treon's records give his father as George W. Treon. Need to find a marriage record of George W. Treon and Anne I. Ellis, or a birth record for George Ellis Treon. Places searched: marriage records of the Trinity United Church of Christ in Turbotsville. Administration records for his estate (do not name wife specifically, but does say his wife did not wish to act as administratrix, implying he was married at the time of death).
