  • Notes 
    • William married Lucy Spalding, of Merrimac, New Hampshire. Mr. Reed settled, when young, in Litchfield, N.H., on what was at that time the frontier, and then to the northern border of ancient Dunstable.

      He was a noted bear-hunter. He was an ensign in Col. Gilman's regiment in 1755 and was commissioned a captain soon after. He had just received a colonel's commission at the time of his decease. He established a ferry between Litchfield and Merrimac, about 1728, known as "Read's Ferry." He died 1768, being killed at the raising of a building. In 1789, the legislature made a grant of a ferry to his son, William Read.
      The three daughters of William and Lucy lived to be about ninety years each.
