Deacon Esdras Reade was a tailor and brewer. He lived successively at Boston, Salem, Wenham, Chelmsford, again at Boston, and Woburn. He was born about 1600 (deposed 1657:10:29 aged 57 years of age) to Esdras Read and Bathsheba Reade. He died in Boston on 27 July 1680 aged 85, buried in the Copp's Hill Burying Ground.[4]
He married first in the Parish of St. Magnus Martyr on 18 Oct. 1621 to Elizabeth Watson who was buried on 10 Oct 1629.[3] He married second to Sarah Dickinsson at Saint Katherine's by the Tower, London, 22 Feb 1630/1.[3] He emigrated to New England in 1638[1] with his wife Sarah and his children. He was admitted to the church in May 1640.
The children of Esdras Reade, tailor or brewer, were as follows (first 4 with first wife and last 4 with second wife):
Elizabeth, bapt. 29 Aug, 1622, Southwark; probably the child, father not named, buried 15 Feb 1622/3.[4]
Sarah, bapt. 8 Jan. 1623/4, Southwark; probably the child, father not named, buried 17 Sep 1624[4]
Philip, bp. 25 July 1625, Southwark; probably the child, father not named, buried 26 Dec 1626. Another Philip Reade, son of James, was bapt. in this parish in 1621, but by 1626 he would hardly have been called an infant.[1]
