DEATH Henry, Sr. died before 5 December 1785 in New Castle, Rockingham co., NH[1]. On that date, his heirs petitioned his estate to have Edward Tredick (his son) to be named administrator of Henry's estate. Henry was of New Castle, Rockingham co., NH[1].
RESIDENCE & TOWN SERVICE Henry & his family lived in New Castle, Rockingham co., NH.
OCCUPATION Henry was a Mariner.
WILL Henry Tredick of New Castle, Mariner, deceased, died intestate. The petition filed on 5 December 1785 by his heirs, Elizabeth Tredick, Mary Amazeen, Elizabeth Clark, Christopher Amazeen, William Clark and Noah Emery, Jr. They agreed that Edward Tredick, New Castle, mariner, to appointed administrator. William Tredick and Henry Tredick, both New Castle mariners, were notified that their brother Edward applied for administrator "as recommended by his mother, sisters, and their husbands." Administration was granted to Edward Tredick on 8 December 1785. The estate was inventoried on 12 April 1786, with a value of £156 10s. 6d.[2]
MARRIAGE Henry married Elizabeth [surname not known], who died sometime after 1785[1]. Elizabeth was still alive when she and the other heirs of Henry Sr.'s estate petitioned on 5 December 1785 to have Edward administrate Henry, Sr.'s estate.

CHILDREN 2. i. Mary TREDICK Please see her own page.
3. ii. Henry TREDICK, JR. Henry, Jr. died after 16 September 1793[1,9]. He, along with Martin Parry, a Portsmouth, Rockingham co., NH goldsmith, stood surety to a bond for his brother William, as administrator of the estate of their brother, Captain Edward Tredick on 16 September 1793. Henry, like his brothers, was a Mariner and lived in New Castle, Rockingham co., NH[1].

Henry's 1790 US Census entry is probably one of these two:
Henry TREDICK, free white male over 16 yrs and the head of family
3 free white males under 16 yrs (identity unknown)
5 free white females (one of which was his wife)

OR:
Henry TREDICK, free white male over 16 yrs and the head of family
3 free white females (one of which was his wife)[10]

It is most likely (but as Carolyn Depp points out, this yet needs solid recorded corroboration) that the following is the correct family information for Henry, Jr.:

Captain Henry Tredick, born 1776, married Mary Tarlton, born 1780, in 1801; both were of New Castle, Rockingham co., NH (this means that either this date of 1801 is wrong or Henry had a first wife counted in the 1790 Census. Based on the birthdate of the probable oldest daughter, the date of 1801 is wrong).

They had the following children:
i. Margaret (born 3 January 1792 in Portsmouth, Rockingham co., NH)[11]
ii. Benjamin Tarlton (born 20 August 1802 in New Castle, Rockingham co., NH and died on 22 May 1877 in Philadelphia, PA. On 25 November 1827, in South Berwick, ME, he married Dorcas Hubbard FROST, who was born on 30 June 1807 in South Berwick, ME, the daughter of George FROST & Sarah BARTLETT.)[12]
iii. Mary T. (born 14 June 1815 in New Castle, Rockingham co., NH)[11]

4. iii. William TREDICK William died circa November 1812 in New Castle, Rockingham co., NH[1]. William had an unclaimed letter at the post office at Portsmouth, Rockingham co., NH on 31 Oct 1786[13]. Like his brothers Edward & Henry, Jr., William was a Mariner[1], and lived in New Castle, Rockingham co., NH. Either William or one of his brothers was the master of the schooner Dove, as mentioned in the New Hampshire Mercury on 20 February 1788: "Ship News": "Last Friday the schooner DOVE, Capt. TREDICK, arrived at New Castle in 18 days from St. Eustatia."

William was mentioned in petition of 5 December 1785 to allow Edward Tredick to administer their father's estate[2]. He was later granted administration of his brother Edward's estate: "#5926. Capt. Edward TREDICK of New Castle, Mariner, decd. On 16 September 1793, widow Margret [sic] TREDICK renounces administration and requests appointment of 'Edward's brother William'. Administration granted to William TREDICK, New Castle, mariner on 16 September 1793 with Henry TREDICK, Jr., New Castle mariner, and Martin PARRY, Portsmouth goldsmith, as sureties. Petition 24 November 1812 for Margaret TREDICK to be appointed Administratrix de bonis non, as Administrator has died without completing administration. Granted administration 2 January 1812 [sic]."[15] Thus, we know that William met his death sometime between the petitions of 16 September 1793 and 24 November 1812.

William's 1790 US Census entry is probably this one:
William TREDICK, free white male over 16 yrs and the head of family
2 free white males under 16 yrs (identity unknown)
4 free white females (one of which was his wife)

His son's is probably this one:
William TREDICK, Jr., free white male over 16 yrs and the head of family
1 free white male under 16 yrs (identity unknown)
3 free white females (one of which was his wife)[10]

There are many more research notes on William, but none that are connected and corroborated as yet.

5. iv. Elizabeth TREDICK Elizabeth died after 5 December 1785 as she was part of the heirs' petition on that date[1]. Elizabeth married William CLARK. William was also alive and part of the 5 December 1785 heirs' petition[1].
6. v. Edward TREDICK Edward died before 16 September 1793 in New Castle, Rockingham co., NH[1]. Edward was also a Mariner and lived in New Castle, Rockingham co., NH[1].

Edward was granted administration of his father's estate: "#5156. Henry TREDICK of New Castle, Mariner, deceased, intestate. Petition on 5 December 1785 of heirs: Elizabeth TREDICK, Mary AMAZEEN, Elizabeth CLARK, Christopher AMAZEEN, William CLARK and Noah EMERY, Jr. They agreed that Edward TREDICK, New Castle, mariner, to appointed administrator. William TREDICK and Henry TREDICK, both New Castle mariners, were notified that their brother Edward applied for administration 'as recommended by his mother, sisters, and their husbands. Administration granted to Edward TREDICK 8 December 1785. Value of Estate on 12 April 1786 = £156.10.6"[15].

Edward married Margaret [surname not known].

His 1790 Census entry is most likely:
Edward TREDICK, free white male over 16 yrs and the head of family
1 free white male under 16 yrs (son, Joseph W.)
4 free white females (one of which was his wife)[10]

Administration of his own estate was granted to his brother William: "#5926. Capt. Edward TREDICK of New Castle, Mariner, decd. On 16 September 1793, widow Margret [sic] TREDICK renounces administration and requests appointment of 'Edward's brother William'. Administration granted to William TREDICK, New Castle, mariner on 16 September 1793 with Henry TREDICK, Jr., New Castle mariner, and Martin PARRY, Portsmouth goldsmith, as sureties. Margret TREDICK consents to claims 'on behalf of her children' on 15 February 1797. Petition 24 November 1812 for Margaret TREDICK to be appointed Administratrix de bonis non, as Administrator has died without completing administration. Granted administration 2 January 1812 [sic]. Hall J. LOCKE, gentleman of New Castle a Surety. Estate expenses include 'lying-in at birth of daughter Margaret E. TREDICK and her maintenance' and 'maintenance of Joseph W.' Account of Administratrix allowed 20 October 1813[15]."

7. vi. [unknown daughter] TREDICK We know by the petition of December 1785 that there was another daughter who had married Noah EMERY, Jr.[1]. It is possible that she is Lucretia Tredick, born 11 May 1764 in New Castle, Rockingham co., NH. She is listed as such on the LDS Ordinance Index[11], but no parents are given for her.
