John Read, or Reade, of Weymouth made an agreement with Capt. William Tyng of Boston to lease 'Salter's Farm' of about 500 acres at Braintree 'which land Tyng lately bought of Mr. Coddington'. Reade was to have 7 male and 2 female servants, stock of cattle etc. and was to lease his farm at Weymouth and have no other, and the profits were to be divided between them, dated April 14, 1639 (Lechford's Notebook). How long John Reade continued as tenant of the 'Salter Farm' in present Quincy is unknown but probably not long for John Reade of the Mount had a land grant from Boston for 11 heads, 44 acres Feb. 24, 1639 (40) and before 1645 Gregory Belcher and John Gurney were occupants there and soon after that time John Reade settled in Rehoboth where he had eight children at least born to him, and died there Sep. 7, 1685.
He was made freeman of the Colony May 13, 1640. The location of his land grant is not known.
He Married Sarah Lessie, dau. of William of Blyborough Parish Co. Suffolk, England as shown by the Aspinwall Notorial Records under date of Nov. 27, 1645 at which time they were still called of Braintree. Two children are recorded at Braintree.
