Disambiguation
The following profiles can be confused:
- George Reade was baptized 6 January 1613 at St. Andrews Holborn, Middlesex, England. He married Margaret by 1641 and then Abigail by 1672 in England. He died after 1672, presumably in England.
- George Reade stated by deposition that he was age 27 in 1658, born 1631. Immigrated to Maryland with his parents and brother prior to 1658. He married Alice before 1658 and Joane by 1666, both in Maryland.
Biography
1631 Birth and Parents
George Reade gave a deposition in 1658, stating at the time that he was aged 27, hence born in 1631. [1]
Skordas shows him as the son of Thomas Reade and his wife Elizabeth. [2]
1658 Arrival
Skordas shows two persons named George Reade arriving in Maryland. The second George was transported in 1663 (Liber 5, folio 254). Since the subject of this profile was active in Maryland before then, the second George could not be the subject of this profile. The earlier George immigrated prior to 1658 and as the son of Thomas (Liber Q, folio 29). [2]
His father Thomas and mother Elizabeth arrived at the same time, along with their son George's brother, William. [2]
1658 George Reade aged 27, born 1631
George Reade gave a deposition in connection with a dispute about ownership of a horse. [1]
- George Reade aged 27 yeares or thereabouts sworne this 29th
December 1658 sayth That the Roand horse now in the possesn of Mrs Jane ffenwick is ffiue yeares old next foaling time, according to this Deponts best skill in the age of horses.
- Sworne before me Tho: Sprigge George [X] Reade
Proceedings of the Provincial Court, 1658-1662 Volume 41, Page 219 [3]
George Reade aged 27 yeares or thereabouts sworne this 29th December 1658 sayth That the Roand horse now in the possesn of Mrs Jane ffenwick is ffiue yeares old next foaling time, according to this Deponts best skill in the age of horses. Sworne before me Tho: Sprigge George [X] Reade
1658 Marriage to Alice Taylor
Before 1658 he married Alice Taylor, born in England 1621 and died after 1660 in Calvert County, Maryland [4]
Robert Tyler's Will, probated in St. Mary's County February 24, 1660, mentions no wife but mentions his son, Robert, and his daughter Alice and her husband George Reade. [5]
Alice was the widow of Samuel Griffin. Samuel Griffin died in Calvert Co., Md. This is proved by his Calvert Co. land which was certified for Griffin in 1653 and then patented in 1658 to George and Alice Reade because Griffin had died and Reade had m. the widow.
- 400 acre tract called "Readly." The Certificate of Survey source (to Samuel Griffin) is Maryland Land Office, Patent Records, Liber ABH, p. 342. The Patent source (to George and Alice Read) is Maryland Land Office, Patent Records, Liber Q, p. 106. [6]
1659 Witchcraft Trial
On October 5, 1659, a Provincial Court met in St. Mary's County, Resurrection Mannor, the house of George Reade, to try Edward Prescott for hanging a witch named Elizabeth Richardson, on the high seas, while enroute to Maryland. Governor Josias Fendall presided. Charges were preferred by John Washington (great-grandfather of George) an immigrant en route to Maryland. [7]
1663 Death of George Reade
mm note: I believe George Reade died about 1663 and his widow Joanne Sprigg married Robert Tyler. note 1664 note 5Oct1664 record for George and his widow, and the 1674 accounting of George and the 1673 Will writing of Robert Tyler. It appears Joane close both George's and Robert's account about the same time in 1674 when she married John Beale. [4]
1664 Deposition by Widow
Proceedings of the Provincial Court, 1663-1666[3] Volume 49, Page 268 5th October 1664 The widdow of George Read sworne saith Her husband owed Henry Thickpenny tobacco and he paid it to Mr Stanley in leiw of that tobacco Hen: Thickpenny owed Mr Stanley and further saith not.
Transported Jonathan Prather

1664 Marriage to Joanne Sprigg
Before 1664 in Calvert County, Maryland, he married Joanne Sprigg, born after 1631 in Kettering, Northampton, England, and died 3 July 1675 at Calvert County, Maryland.[4]

Did you take care of this also?
https://msa.maryland.gov/megafile/msa/speccol/sc2900/sc2908/000001/000041/html/am41--219.html that George Read associated with a Sprigg family was age 27 in a 1658 deposition. Clearly not the person born in 1613/4.
The George Reade baptized 6 January 1613 was married to Margaret when he had a son George bap. 20 Dec. 1642 at St. Andrew Holborn, Middlesex. The child was listed at born at his father's house in Baldwin Garden in Grays Inn Lane. See: https://www.familysearch.org/photos/artifacts/132802435 #429
Baldwin Garden in Grays Inn Lane is also where George (father of George born 1613) was buried in 1645. https://www.familysearch.org/photos/artifacts/132723140 #287
George [Jr.] also had children Mary bap. 9 Oct. 1644 and Elizabeth bap. 16 Sep. 1649 at St. Andrew Holborn.
George [Jr.] secondly had a license on 6 Aug. 1672 with Mrs. Abigail Howard in London, being listed as a widower, age 58. See: https://www.familysearch.org/library/books/records/item/388215-redirection p. 206 [image 211]
Please delete the 6 January 1613 birth for this person, as it is not him, and disconnect from the parents and sister listed for him. See my page http://fzsaunders.com/reade.html for information on this family he is incorrectly connected to.
Please note that the profile for his wife, Joanna Sprigg Beale is Project Protected, has verified sources, and can't be changed without the permission of the Southern Colonies Project.

The George Reade born in 1613/4 to George Reade and wife Mary is not the George of this page of Maryland. He is not a brother to Anne Reade (bap. 11 Jan. 1617/8) who married George Roberts (these latter two being my line.)
As for the first link you listed to Mike Marshall's site (Colonial Settlers of Maryland) I e-mailed him yesterday, and he agrees they are two different George's, and will be correcting his page. Edited to reflect that Mike has no updated his page. https://www.colonial-settlers-md-va.us/getperson.php?personID=I68865&tree=Tree1

Then look at Reade-97 Could these be the same person? Could
