The Michael Reader muster roll is decorated at the top with a drawing of a canon, drum and flag. It is written on one large sheet of paper, about 12" by 15", folded once, so that the columns of names are on the left edges of each of the four sides. The name "M. Reader" appears on the outside of the folded sheet. The little x's and other markings appear to be attendance records.

These are certainly the same man, just different spellings of the name. Managers need to confer on which he used during his lifetime and which to use in WikiTree. Thanks!
Note: The numbers are unimportant in this case. We merge into the lowest numbered profile with the correct spelling of the last name at birth. Thanks!
