Biographical history
Charles Platt Treadwell was the son of Nathaniel Treadwell and Margaret Platt. He returned to Canada in 1823 and after prolonged negotiation repossessed his father's property in Longueil. He made his home at L'Orignal, married Helen Macdonnell, and raised a family of four daughters. A strong Presbyterian, he donated land for a church, built of stone of which he was a trustee.
In 1834, Mr. Treadwell was appointed High Sheriff of Prescott and Russelllife. He was a pioneer in agricultural improvements, religious reform and in railway projects. He is said to have been the first Canadian to advocate for a Pacific Railway. He died at 71 years of age in 1873.
