I am interested in not only a "secretary" of George Washington who was said to be a Read, but the relatives of George or Martha Washington who were members of the Read Family. Also, in a rare newspaper story from Nashville, TN in 1814, there is mention of "Messrs. Read and Washington, army contractors," who lost an office and warehouse in the fire which consumed half the town. Any connection? I welcome anyone who can point me in a direction to research these Reads associated with Washingtons.
