Biography
See History of Weymouth, Vol. IV, p. 569, which shows the Wiliam Reed whomarried Esther Thompson as a son of the other William Reade of Weymouth.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I have entered the information James Reed shows for Wm Reade, son of Wmand Susannah. I believe it should be associated with Wm, son of Wm andRuth since the first son is consistently shown as having died early. Itis entered here to preserve the information, but needs further research.Also, note that the marriage to Esther Thompson may be a differentWilliam Read.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>JCR:
William, son of William and Susannah--Most sources show he "died young."Could the information listed belong to Wm., son of Wm. & Ruth?
James Reed:
The reasons that I have this shown as it is, comes from somecircumstantial evidence, and some conjecture on my part. It would take acomplete E-mail to explain, so I will try and remember to send you aseparate E-mail about this. In any event there is no proof positive foreither possibility, so you would be just as correct to show it the otherway. Isn''t genealogy fun!
