Tredway was a member of the Virginia Secession Convention in 1861. A "Conditional Unionist," he at first opposed the state's secession, before supporting it after President Lincoln's call to mobilize troops. During the Civil War, he was the Commonwealth's Attorney for Pittsylvania County, and later served as a state Circuit Court judge from 1870 to 1879.
