Margaret Maria Nesmith, the mother of Mrs. Treat, was the first of her family since two hundred years to marry outside her clan; in 1838 she married Harry Eells Huxford. She was the daughter of Isaac Nesmith (1770-1846), who married his double first cousin, Mary N. McClure, a brilliant poetess, highly educated, and daughter of Major James McClure, officer in the Revolutionary War and in the famous Boston Tea Party. The McClures were of the Stewart clan and received their name from their ancestor, James I, King of Scotland, for rescuing him by a blow (a cluer) when attacked by a wounded stag. Isaac Nesmith was grandson of Deacon James Nesmith, Senior, a son of James (1692-1767), who married (1714) Elizabeth McKeen, daughter of Justice James McKeen (1667-1756) and first wife, Janet Cochran, daughter of John, descendant of the first Earl of Dundonald. The McKeens' armorial bearings were those of the Cadets of Island Kings as Macdonald's of the Isles, now belonging to the Prince of Wales. Justice McKeen brought, with his own money, a colony of seventeen families, including Pastor McGregor from Scotland, to found a colony in New Hampshire, where they could have religious freedom. His brother, William, became Governor of Pennsylvania, and was a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
