There's been a bad merge. Be warned: lots of extremely Bogus Reade info around here.
The Reed Book is the very worst of a bad lot of Victorian era nonsense. The English lines based on it, which LDS pedigrees are, cannot be trusted.
Anyway I'll see what I can do to pare down this family, but it will likely"not" be very accurate still.
Also this is the bottom line - no descent to America.

>There is a considerable amount of conflicting information about this couple, especially dates of birth and death, yet many have concluded this is the correct lineage for sons Esdras, William, and Thomas. However, there is very little documentary evidence I have seen. Most seem to rely on LDS records, which may be fraught with error. Mary M. Zashin cites A Record of the Redes of Barton Court, Berkshire, by Compton Reade, which seems to contain fairly reliable information. This source puts Thomas birth at 1606/7, '''making it impossible for he and Mary Cornwall to be the parents of immigrants William, Esdras and Thomas Reade.'''
OK, found the source Miner Descent thought more reliable
