Dorothy Rede

Not the mother of Thomas Rede, of Barton Court

From page 4 of A Record of the Redes of Barton Court, Berks: With a Short Precis of Other ...By Compton Reade, R. Reade Macmullen

"The published pedigrees affirm that he was father of Thomas Rede, of Barton Court (Vide Chapter I.), and Edmonston, Wotton, Betham, and others, assigned him for w1fe Dorothy, daughter of Nicholas Beaumont, of Cole Orton. Inasmuch as Nicholas was not born until after the decease.of this Wyllyam, and Dorothy his daughter married a William Rede, of Barton-on-Humber, this allegation is transparently erroneous. Burke has altered Dorothy to the daughter of John Beaumont, of Orton on-the-Hill, but if John had a daughter Dorothy, there is no evidence to show that she married this Wyllyam, or that he was father of Thomas Rede."
