This is an updated version of the Reading Family Tree, which was first published in 2018. It is still incomplete, as is the nature of family trees.
This Family Tree focuses on the Reading family that remained in Hunterdon County. Children of those who left for parts west are not listed. As you will see, there are several branches of this tree that I know next to nothing about. If you know more, please add information (or make corrections) in the comments below.
Considering how long the Reading family has lived in Hunterdon County—since before there even was a Hunterdon County (established in 1714), it surprises me how many names of spouses are not familiar to me. The names of spouses those families have published trees on this website have been highlighted in green. You will have to return to the Families page to get a link to those families.
First Generation:
(1) Gov. John Reading (1686 – 1767) & Mary Martje Ryerson (1699 – 1774)
Gov. John Reading was the son of Col. John Reading and wife Elizabeth, first of the family to settle in Hunterdon County, as early as 1703. Since the couple had only one son, I am designating him as the First Generation.
