"If you have in mind -- William Reed/Read(e) of Scituate, Dorchester and Woburn, MA, arrived 6 or 8 Oct 1635 on the Defence with wife Mabel (?Kendall?) & children George, Ralph & Justus, d betw 9 Apr (will, proved Newcastle-upon-Tyne) & 31 Oct 1656 (probate), and had dau Abigail who married Francis Wyman -- and has often been claimed in print to have been a descendant of Thomas Reade & Mary Brocket, and/ or Thomas Reade and Mary or Anne Hoo -- I'm afraid you're in for trouble. These 'connections' are entirely spurious (and conceivably among our more nasty if less well-publicized genealogical frauds)."
