Anne Reade

From page 7 of A Record of the Redes of Barton Court, Berks: With a Short Precis of Other ...By Compton Reade, R. Reade Macmullen

THOMAS REDE, or Reade*, stands first in the Harleian and other MSS. as founder of the Barton Court line.

Thomas Rede was buried 27th April, 1556, in the Rede Aisle, St Helen's Church Abingdon, Berks. (St. Helen's Parish Registers). His initials t were on the south porch. His wife survived him 19 years, dying in 1575. The published Pedigrees have hitherto stated that Thorn 1s Rede was living in 1575, whereas it was his widow who did not die until the close of that year. As she was styled " Lord of Dunstew " the error is easily explained.

By Anne Hoo, Thomas Rede had issue one son, Thomas, of whom presently, and four daughters, Katheryn, Elizabeth, Alice, and Marie.
