Rebecca was said to be "of Chelmsford" as was her husband, when they married in Concord. Her family was located in various towns in Massachusetts before 1656. The Salem Quarterly Court record of 17 September, 1650 says: "Joshua Ray was admonished for abusing the body of Rebecca Reade in an uncomely manner with a stick".
