Facts and Events
Identification of William Reed's wife as Avis Deacon are based on faulty assumptions, probably caused by confusing the two William Reeds of Weymouth. Alice Deacon who sailed from England on the "Alice" in 1635, appears, from port logs in London, to have gone to Virginia. The William Reade who sailed with her brother Thomas Deacon on the "Assurance de Lo" in 1635 also appears to have gone to Virginia, and so, this appears to be an unrelated William Reade. The William Reed who came to Weymouth in 1635 is a different William Reed than the one who a wife named Avis, and that William Reed came over in Rev. Joseph Hull's party, not on the "Assurance de Lo". The William Reed of Weymouth who had a wife named Avis appears not to come to New England until shortly before 1653.
