hrobertson158 — 2009-04-10 06:43:02Z

I'm looking for any information about Eliza Treasure 1790 - 1869 and her family. She married John Gould and they had a son named Charles. She lived in Somerset, in Clutton at least in her old age.

Hi Tony

Good to hear from you again.

Last summer I went down to Somerset where all the Treasures originate from and had a look around. All the little villages are still there although the coal mines are long gone. In Radstock there's a very interesting coal mining museum - the conditions in which our ancestors worked were really appalling - Goodness knows how so many of them lived to such a ripe old age!

I'm not sure if you've found my tree but you can access it at

Help yourself to any stuff you need and don't hesitate to contact me at richardandannetreasure@hotmail.com if you think I can help

All the best

I have helping search William Treasure who married Mary Davies. According to the census records, the immigrated to the US in 1859. I have census records for Wm in PA, CA and ID. Mary Davies died in 1869 in Smithfield,Cache, UT. I have an 1870 census of Sierra Co, CA that has a Wm Treasure who is from Wales and could possibly be the William I'm searching. By 1880 Wm is married to an Ellen ? and is in ID. The census has children, Alice, James and John living in the household. Is anyone searching this family that can shed more light on William. thanks.

Hi Again,
I am not sure where my grandma got her information (I will have to ask her.) She did make a note that Peter came to Aust in 1877 per the "Daylight" & was a Locomotion driver in WA. He was naturalised in 1912 & served in Egypt in the 1st war.

Leroy Treasure arrived in the USA from Wales at the age of 4 on 14 April 1908 on board the good ship Cymric in the port of Boston, having sailed from Liverpool. He was accompanied ny his mother?, Alice aged 37.
This particular twig of the Treasure family had moved to Wales from Somerset to open the mines at Blaenavon.

Re: OBIT: Passing Of J. Thomas Treasure ~ born near Louisville, Kentucky

2006-04-13 03:48:05Z

Hi Richard,

Thank you for that interesting bit of history on the Treasures and mining in Somerset and Wales. That paralells my husbands ggggrandfather Edward George Treasure who was a coal miner, born in England most likely Somerset. Sometime after he married Elizabeth (last name unknown) we believe he went to Wales to work and from there to the U.S. George and family left Newport, Wales, on the Barque Tiberias. The Passenger List was produced at the Custom House at Newport on 31 June 1838. They arrived at the port of Baltimore on 10 Sep 1838 as part of a group bound for George's Creek Coal and Iron Company in Allegany Co. Maryland. When he filed a declaration of intent to become a citizen in 1839 in Allegany Co. he gave his nationality as English though all the other miners he sailed with were Welsh. His oldest son, William T., was born 11 Jun 1817 in England but was said to have spoken Welsh. Besides William, the other children were Job, Ann, Susanna, John, Hannah & Caroline. From Maryland, most of these Treasures eventually moved on to the coal mines of Pennsylvania.

Do these Treasures fit in with any of those bits and pieces you have collected? So far I have been unable to connect them to anyone.

OBIT: Passing Of J. Thomas Treasure ~ born near Louisville, Kentucky

DeborahBrownfieldStanley — 2005-05-31 10:36:22Z

The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, April 23, 1908

The Ledger is pained to learn of the death of J.T. TREASURE, a former resident of Whitebreast Township. He was born near Louisville, Kentucky, February 11, 1848 and died at his home two miles southeast of Kirksville, Mo. on Tuesday, April 14, 1908. He had been in declining health for about three years but confined to his bed only a week.

He leaves a wife, three sons and four daughters -- one son, WILL, preceding
him to the grave three years ago. he was laid to rest as was his desire, in
Highland Park Cemetery, a mile from the family home, on Thursday, April 16.

MR. TREASURE grew to manhood in the State of Missouri, but in his early
manhood he and young wife located in Jackson Township, Monroe County, later
purchasing a farm in Whitebreast Township where the family resided until
moving to Kirksville, Mo. He was an honest, upright citizen and ever did a
neighbor's part in the community in which he dwelt. These sterling
characteristics form a better monument to his memory than mere words of
eulogy on marble shafts.

I have no personal interest in this family. I do a lot of re-posting of articles to help everyone that may be searching. You might want to check the Lucas County web site and see if there is anything further on this family.

Hi there Tony Treasure,

You mentioned in your message board posting that your brother was David Treasure - the RL footballer - didn't he play for Bradford Northern? Anyway when my first son was born my wife and I struggled for a suitable name - until she proposed David - I remembered at that point that there'd been a David played in the RL Cup Final and it sounded OK - so we called him David - just thought your bro might like to know
Cheers Richard Treasure

richardandannetreasure — 2006-04-10 13:39:33Z

Gary Newsum

The Treasures were originally coalminers, working the Somerset coalfield in England from the earliest days of the Industrial revolution. The mines in Somerset were notoriously difficult to work , the seams of coal often were no more than 14 inches thick but nevertheless they earned a good living from it. Most of their children were educated to the ages of 14 or so and most survived their infancy. Some Treasures were sent to Wales where they helped to develop the South Wales Coalfield. A good many of them also emigrated to the USA where again they seemed to go wherever there was a mine to dig. Pennsylvania, Colorado, Claifornia and Kentucky - anywhere there was mining. The same applied to Australia and South Africa. I've done a lot of work on the family and now I must put all the pieces of the family jigsaw together

Hi Debra
I'm Richard Treasure of Lincoln UK. The furthest back I've managed to get (at the moment - although a trip to Somerset and the records office is planned) is John Treasure (1680) who married a Sarah and had a least one child Samuel (1702) who married margaret Densley they had at lest one son, Jonathan who married Dianna they had 2 sons Isaac (1770) and Reuben (1759)

Where do Levi and Tobias fit into this - or maybe they don't?

Re: TREASURE

richardandannetreasure — 2005-03-31 10:22:38Z

William Treasure (1811) married Sarah Padfield and according to my info had Mary (1833) who married Robert Ashman, Frederick (1846), and Edwin (1850), - don't know about the others you mention

Incidentally, my son Edward (Ned) is presently in Melbourne (I think ) on Holiday

Hello Deborah

Fortunately you were a little late reporting the death of JT Treasure.

I would be interested to learn of your relationship with JTT as it may be that he and I are related. It seems that most Treasures worldwide stem from Somerset in England. To date we have got back to 1680 and John and Sarah Treasure.

Any information you may have about JTT's ancestors or descendants would be gratefully received

The ancestors of Jacob Daniel are still unknown,.Jacobs father is listed in a census record as having been born in Virginia. Does any one have anything they might add to solve who Jacobs parents were?

Thursday, April 29, 1909

MRS. VESTA DENNISON died in the hospital at Omaha, on Monday, April 19 at 2
o'clock p.m., after an illness of nine weeks. Her death was caused by blood
poison. Had she lived until July 15th, she would have been 21 years of age,
and been married only a little over a year.

Her remains were taken to Kirksville, Mo., the home of her mother, MRS. MARY
TREASURE, for interment, reaching there on Tuesday of last week. She was
the daughter of MR. and MRS. THOMAS TREASURE, formerly of Whitebreast
Township. Thus, a young life has gone out, which a short time since was
filled with promise and the natural gladness of hearts has turned to
mourning.
