George Reade bio and Descendents
George Reade, a native of London, came to Virginia 1637 in Sir John Harvey’s party. Harvey was returning to Virginia to assume the office of Governor of the Colony. Reade was appointed Secretary of State, pro tem of the colony in 1640 and served as Acting Governor in the absence of Governor Harvey. He was a member of the House of Burgesses and a member of the Colonial Council until his death. His will, no longer extant, is documented in a York County 18th century land transaction.
York Co, VA Deeds & Bonds Book 5 pp 3 – 6 This Indenture made the sixteenth day of May in the fortieth year of the Reign of our Sovernge Lord George the Second King of Great Britain and in the year of our Lord Christ one thousand seven hundred & forty one between James Mitchell of the Town & County of York and Janet his wife of the one part and Richard Ambler of the same Town & county aforesaid . Whereas George Reade late of the sd county of York Esq decd being siezed in fee of a certain tract or parcel of land lying & being in the said County of York containing by Estimation Eight hundred & fifty acres did by his last Will and Testament in writing bearing date the twenty ninth day of September in the Year of our Lord One thousand six hundred & Seventy devise the same by the name of all that Tract of Land wherein he lived to his wife during life and after her decease to be equally divided between his sons, George & Robert and the heirs of their bodies but and fault of such heirs in either or both of them or in case either or both of them should dye during their minority then he gave and devises his and their parts of the land aforesaid to his sons Francis and Benjamin and the heirs of their bodies with other remainders over as by the said Will duly proved in the General Court of this Colony being thereunto had may more at large appear and whereas the said George Reade one of the sons of the Testator dyed many years ago without issue and after his death the said Francis & Benjamin Reade intend into one ninety or half part of this premises to as afore devised and afterwards the said Robert Reade, Francis Reade & Benjamin Reade by Deed bearing date the twelfth day of November in the Year of our Lord one thousand and six hundred & eighty eight made partition of the premises aforesaid ………
George Reade married Elizabeth Martiau, daughter of Nicolas Martiau (Father of Yorktown). Their daughter Mildred, wife of Col. Augustine Warner, was the g-grandmother of George Washington.
George Read, the son of Robert Read of London and his wife Mildred Windebank, was one of the about one hundred colonists, who emigrated to the colonies from England and Wales before the end of the 17th century, known to have legitimate descent from a Plantagenet King of England.
The illustrious ancestry of George Reade is documented nicely in Colonial Records during the period of 18 January 1638/9 – 11 December 1641. The file includes letters from the Colonial Governor, Secretary of State and George Reade to Sir Francis Windebank and/or Windebank’s personal secretary Robert Reade (George Reade’s brother.) The correspondence file is quite interesting, alluding to the politics behind George Reade’s appointment as Secretary of State during Richard Kemp’s sojourn in England. It also includes personal requests from George Reade to his brother for servants and money. Earlier correspondence puts a personal face on George Reade’s life. “Sir John Harvey to Robert Reade, 17 Nov. 1637. Hopes to employ Reade’s brother against the Indians. He is well and stays at the writer’s house.” “George Reade to Robert Reade, his brother, 26 Febr. 1637/8. Does not think much of Mr. Hawley. Thanks to the support of the Governor and Mr. Kemp, the writer has survived. Mr. Menephe has brought many servants. Mr. Hawley has promised the writer that the next lot of servants coming to Virginia would be for him but he does not believe it as Hawley is in Maryland.”
“Adventurers of Purse and Person 1607 – 1624/5 and Their Families” published by the Order of First Families of Virginia, indicates in a footnote (pp. 419-420) the discrepancy between the dates inscribed on his Grace Church tablets and the filing of the wills for George Read and his wife Elizabeth as follows: “His and his wife’s gravestones were discovered during street excavations in Yorktown in 1931. The inscriptions on both were recut with errors. George Reade’s stone now states he died Oct. 1674, “he being in the 66th yr of his age.” Since the date should be 1671 (per his will), either the age shown, or his year of birth, is in error as well….The gravestone of Elizabeth (Martiau) Read now states she was born in 1625 and died in 1696, “being in ye 71st yeare of her age.” Since the year of death should be 1686 (per her will), again the age or year of birth is in error. Since Nicholas Martiau claimed…his daughter Elizabeth as headrights…it would appear Elizabeth was born prior to his arrival in Virginia in 1620…and that Elizabeth’s birth occurred in 1615 rather than 1625.”
The graves of George Reade and his wife Elizabeth were discovered while excavating on Buckner Street in Yorktown. In 1931, descendant Letitia Pate Evans had the tablets restored and moved to the church yard of Grace Episcopal Church. The Reade tablets sit adjacent to the plots of Gov. Thomas Nelson (Declaration of Independence signer), his father, and grandfather (who married a George Reade descendant.)

Captain James Davis / Davies Genealogy 
I am searching for a Joseph Reed (Reade) who supposedly has a son named John and is a direct descendant of Colonel George Reade. I have traced my ancestry back 7 generations to John (wife Mary) but that is as far as I can find. I see no listing for a Joseph in the geneology of Colonel George Reade. I also find nothing for a John that has a wife Mary. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You have any other info on Joseph and John, such as birth/death dates/places, places of residence, etc?

In my research of the Read family tree, I see a John Read who married Mary Malloy in 1712. Their son, Francis Read, was the person I was looking for, but they could very well have had other children. I would love to talk to you about the Reade’s lineage, as they are all in the Aston tree. If you wish to talk to me you can contact me via e-mail

Col. George Reade had a great grandson named John who married Mary Malloy
I have lots of possibly good info for you if you are still researching. You can e-mail me: faston@att.net

I know that “busy” feeling. This genealogy stuff can be overwhelmingly time consuming.
But the good news is that you have definitely found the right family tree.
My husband’s aunt gathered all the Read lineage in 1942 for her membership application
into the Daughters of the American Revolution……………..and obviously, she had to do it the “old fashioned” way in 1942.
I would love to share the information that I have with you…………it is much too long and detailed for an e-mail………….but I can mail my info to you if you care to give me your address. I really think a phone call would be beneficial so feel free to call me at 832 622-8278. I am CST in Texas.

I am a descendant of Col George Reade and Elizabeth Matiau, My line is through John Hawkins and Mary Warner,d/o Augustine Warner ll and Mary Townely. Mildred Warner married Lawrence Washington. Mary Warner ,sister Mildred Warner. married John Hawkins, their son Matthew Hawkins, married Ann Parrish, their daughter Ann Hawkins married Francis Mead/Meade .Their daughter Susannah Mead/Meade married Thomas Long. Ann Long married Nicholas Hale lll,
I descend from Anne Long Hale. I was thrilled when I did the research to find the ancestry of Ann Long’s ancestor Mary Warner. Correct me if I have inaccuracies in my genealogy presented here.
May I use the work you you have done in Captain James Davis/Davies Genealogy on Col. George Reade ? I have found this information elsewhere, but not as well as documented and presented. This is a non commercial adventure of mine to find where my Sanford line originated.
I am 81 years of age and I am very happy to know my ancestors and how they contributed so
much to America.
Thanks, Glenda Sanford Spanfelner

I haven’t done much genealogy research for the last several months, but ran across your posting from July. How are you related to Col. George Reade? The Aston line is like the 7th or 8th generation of Col Reade. I’m always fasinated to get off the usual path of just the immediate ancestor. We may very well have some very distant cousins still living. I am 83 and my husband would have been 89, but we might find some of the younger generations. I would love to hear from you……….e-mail me at faston@att.net and lets compare notes.
