Isaac Read, who married Sarah Embra, was prominent in War, prominent in Church, and prominent in State. A member of the House of Burgesses when that body was dissolved by Lord Botetourt in 1769, he went with the other members to the Raleigh Tavern to form an Association against the Act of Parliament imposing duties on tea. He was a member of the Convention of 1774, which instructed the Delegates in Congress to propose independence. He was a member of the Committee - of which his brother Thomas and his brother-in-law, Paul Carrington were also members - to draft a Declaration of Rights, which was reported and read May 27, 1774; was a member of the Convention of August, 1774, and that of March and June, 1775, and by this body was appointed Lieutenant Colnel of the 4th Virginia Regiment. Putting aside all civil distinctions, leaving a beautiful home, he entered the War, where his career was "distinguished, brief, and tragic," as Mrs. Rouse well says. For his country he gave his life - like so many others of his kin. Indeed, it is tragic to note how many of the descendants of Clement Read gave their lives or their fortunes - and often both - to their country.
