John D Read (February 6, 1814 – October 18, 1864), also referred to as John Reed or John Reid, was an American abolitionist and lay preacher in Falls Church, Virginia in the years prior to and during the American Civil War. Read was taken prisoner by Confederate partisans from Mosby's Rangers during a surprise raid on the town on October 18, 1864 and executed later that day near Vienna, Virginia. ==Early life and prewar activities== John Read was born in Lisbon, Connecticut, on February 6, 1814 to a family of prominent Baptist ministers. The family moved to Oswego, New York, and eventually John and his brothers Caleb and Hiram Read settled in Fairfax County, Virginia in the 1850's. The Read brothers and their families were original founding members of the Columbia Baptist Church, the first Baptist congregation in the village. Hiram Read, John's younger brother and an ordained minister, served as the church's first pastor from its founding in 1856 to the onset of the Civil War in 1861. Although John Read is frequently referred to in local histories as "Reverend", he had no formal seminary training and likely served as a lay minister, preaching on occasion. The 1860 United States Census for Fairfax County, Virginia lists his occupation as that of a farmer, living with his wife and five children on land near Bailey's Crossroads, Virginia.
