Note Immigration 1635:
From The Founders of New England, NEHGR 14:320: "xviij 4 July, 1635. In the Defence of London, Edward Bostock (or Fostick) Master, “These under written names are to be transported to N. England imbarqued in the defence p'red. per Cert: from the ministers and Justices of their conformitie and yt they are no Subsedy men: Wm Read, 48, Mabell Read, 30, George Read, 6, Ralph Read, 5, Justice Read 18 mo."
Note Property 1648:
Nicholas Davis of Charlestown sold to William Reade of Muddy River a house and lands in Woburn, described in a bill of sale recorded in Suffolk Deeds, Book 1, page 93. Their dwelling-house stood in a pasture, called the Baldwin Pasture, on the road from Kendall's mill to the Messrs. Duren. This estate passed from William Reed to Samuel Walker, senior; and, in 1674, the latter gave a deed of it to his son Samuel Walker, who, in 1662, married Sarah, daughter of said William Reed. In this deed the estate is referred to as that purchased of William Reed, and it remained in the Walker family until 1847. The pasture and remains of Mr. Reed's cellar and well are still to be seen there.
Will:
When William died at Newcastle on Tyne at 69 years, and not having appointed executors in his Will, Letters of Administration were granted 31 Oct 1656 by Oliver Cromwell, the Protector, to his widow Mabel, who speedily returned with her children to New England. The record reads “Commission issued 31 October 1656 unto Mabel Read, widow, the relict and principal legatary of the deceased, to adminster &c. according to the tenor and effect of the said will &c. Berkley, 346”
"William Read: The 9th daie of April 1656. My will is that my wife have three score pounds for herself. Item, thirty pounds apiece to each of my four youngest children. More, that my wife have the household stuff and to dispose of it: that the three score pounds which is owing to me by Mr. William Brenton in New England be disposed of as followeth, if it can be got, viz., to my wife twenty pounds, to my four youngest children twenty pounds (that is five pounds apiece), to my three children that are married in New England, that is, George, Ralph and Abigail, twenty pounds to be equally divided amongst them: that when any of the four youngest children die their portion be divided among the other three, that is if they die in their minority: forty pounds due from Mr. Killingworth, twenty pounds Mark Theaton of Black Callerton, thirty pound from Mrs. Flora Hall, twenty pound from Anthony Walker, twelve pounds, three pound in my wife's hand and five pound in Mr. Ogle's Hand, forty pound more in the house; George Erington of Loughhouse and his son in law forty shillings, Gawan Anderson forty shillings; Mary Chicken als Watson four pound ten shillings and ten shillings in my wife's hand, is nine pound: more in the house twenty shillings in Commodities; in all makes nine score pounds.
The mark of William Read.
Witnessed By: William Cutter, the mark of Thomas Gibson.
The place of residence of William Read, the testator of the above will, was not declared, but the Probate Act Book for the year 1656 shows it to have been Newcastle upon Tyne (Northumberland).
After her husband's death, in 1656, the widow Mabel returned to Woburn, and, as adminstratrix of her husband's estate, caused ancillary administration to be taken out in Middlesex County, Feb. 17, 1661-2. The original papers brought from England are missing from the probate files at Cambridge, but the official record of the will and the letter testamentary are still preserved there. This record varies slightly from the wording as given above by Mr. Waters, but the only important difference in the two copies is, that the name Abigail in Mr. Waters's transcript appears as Michael in the record at the Probate Office at Cambridge. Abigail is undoubtedly correct; for, apart from the supposed reference to Michael in the father's will, as recorded at Cambridge, there is no evidence of his existence. Abigail married Francis Wyman of Woburn, and together with her brothers, George and Ralph, lived and died in Woburn.
