From Savage's Genealogical Dictionary

READ, or REED, JAMES, Taunton, s[on]. perhaps youngest, of William of Dorchester; perhaps the soldier of Johnson's comp. in Philip's war, m[arried]. 18 Apr. 1683, Susanna Richmond, d[aughter]. of John had James, William; John, Thomas, Mary, b[orn]. 1697, Martha, Ann, and Susanna.

This name is very common, often written Reed, and under either form likely to breed confus[ion]. betw[een]. sev[eral]. hav[ing]. the same bapt[ized]. title. Aft[er]. spend[ing]. many hours of sev[eral]. days, I am unable to reconcile and fix the habita[tation]. of all. Farmer found 60 gr[aduating]. in the N[ew]. E[ngland]., N[ew]. J[ersey]., and Union Coll[eges]. 1829. Twelve at Harv[ard]. and eleven at Yale had been gr[aduated]. in 1834.
