Reade was the second son of Sir Edward Reade, 2nd Baronet, of Shipton Court, and his wife Elizabeth Harby, daughter of Edward Harby of Adstone, Northamptonshire. He was the elder brother of Lieutenant-general George Reade. He succeeded to the baronetcy and Shipton Court on the death of his elder brother, Sir Winwood Reade, 3rd Baronet, on 30 June 1692. He married Jane Mary Dutton, the daughter of Sir Ralph Dutton, 1st Baronet, MP of Sherborne, Gloucestershire, on 29 October 1719.[1]
Reade served as Clerk of the Household to Prince of Wales from about 1722 to 1727 and was promoted to Clerk of the Green Cloth when the Prince of Wales became King in 1727 to his death.
Reade died on 25 September 1752, and was referred to by Henry Pelham as ‘an old servant of the King’s, and a very honest man, but he has been declining for many years’. He and his wife had only one child, John, who succeeded him in the baronetcy.
