James Stanley Read
(1715 - 1778)
== Biography ==
James Read was probably born about 1715 in Scotland. He emigrated to Prince Edward County, Virginia after his marriage to an unknown woman. According to the petition that he signed in 1776, cited just below, he was living in Prince Edward County, Virginia at that time. (James M. Porter, "History of our family connection," [1872] and Kentucky: A History of the State, 2nd edition (Battle, Perrin and Kniffin: Butler County, KY, 1885), submitted by Glenda Dodson glendadodson@yahoo.com He appears to have been an active member of his community there as evidenced by his participation in the signing of a petition approving of the actions taking by the Virginia Assembly regarding to its form of government and approval of the Bill of Rights approved by that assembly. The petition is particularly informative as it contains the names of James Grinter and many members of the associated families, many of whom moved to Kentucky. (Provided by Glenda Dodson dodsonglenda@yahoo.com .)
James Read died in 1778 in Prince Edward County, Virginia. His will was dated on 10 October 1777 and was probated in August 1777. ( Will Book l, p.207).
An undocumented source says that there was a James Read born in Scotland in 1710 who married Margaret Floyd and who died in York or Adams County, Pennsylvania in 1798. That James Read had the following children: James born 1735 married in 1770 Sarah ______ in Lancaster, Pennsylvania; William; Joseph; Benjamin; and, John. James Read's will named sons Joseph, Robert, and Moses. Are the latter three those of the same name in the 1790 Virginia census below?

3. Robert Reed was born in 1740 in Prince Edward County, Virginia. He died in Butler County, Kentucky about 1793. (Ibid.) He was probably a Presbyterian minister.

It was on the Green River in the lower Bend known as McLain's Bend, on land bounded by Dr. Burr Harrison and Qm. Doolin. Circuit Court Order Book C. per Paul Deweese. (Submitted by Glenda Dodson dodsonglenda@yahoo.com , who notes: "It was interesting that the Ferry Business was sort of a Family Business, what with William Washington Read and Robert Reed doing it along with Moses Read Grinter [in Kansas].")

5. The immigrant Moses A.[lexander?] Read was born about 1750 in Ulster, Ireland or Scotland. Moses married Rachel Porter about 1784 in [Prince Edward County,] Virginia.
