Witnesses: John W. Drewry, Milton H. Streater, S.M. Streater
At a probate court held on Jan 4, 1858, Milton Streater said that Reddick
died about 23 of November, 1857.
After the Civil War, during which several sons served the Confederacy as
cannoneers, the children went in different directions. I believe W.P.
stayed in Springhill where he is buried in the Methodist cemetery.
Thomas went to Oklahoma and (my line) John H. came to Leon Co. Texas.
Another brother (not sure which one) went to Bell Co., Texas.
I am currently working with other Streaters scattered around the country to
prove the line back to England where Streaters were Quakers and as such came
to America in Philadelphia in the 1600s.
