Family of Walter Tredway

    Walter Tredway, was of Amersham, Buckinghamshire, England when he wrote his Will.  According to Margaret Spuffod, author of The World of Rural Dissenters, 1520-1725, Walter was of Chesham, Co. Buckinghamshire.  It is unclear which county in England Walter was born; Hertfordshire or Buckinghamshire.  Walter married Joan ______.  Looking at the names of Walter’s descendants, it looks like he could be a branch from the Gentry line Tredway’s (possibly John or Richard, sons of Thomas of Rickmansworth??).  Walter made his Will in 1557, in which he mentioned his wife Joan, and their children.  Their children were:

1. Daughter, b: Unknown, Co. Buckinghamshire, England. She married Robert Wheller
2. Henry Tredway, b: Unknown, Co. Buckinghamshire, England
3. Edward Tredway, b: Unknown, Co. Buckinghamshire, England
4. Robert Tredway, b: Unknown, Co. Buckinghamshire, England
5. Joan Tredway, b: Unknown. Joan Pratt was listed in Walter’s Will

The World of Rural Dissenters, 1520-1725, by Margaret Spufford: “The Lollard Tredway’s are Thomas of Chesham, his mother Agnes Ashford and Richard alias Ashford or Nash.  Only George Tredway of Chesham is listed in the 1524 Lay Subsidy, but Walter and Thomas Tredway of Chesham join him in the 1522 Musters together with Edward of Amersham.”
