Lydia Jane Read was the fourth daughter and fourth child of the eight children of David Read and Mary Hawk. She was born 7 April 1838 in Hardwick Township, Sussex (now Warren) County, New Jersey. Lydia was baptised on Christmas Eve 1838 in the Stillwater Presbyterian Church, in the village of Stillwater, Sussex County, New Jersey. There is evidence that Lydia's paternal grandfather John Read may have been raised as a Baptist and that her father may have been raised as both a Baptist and then later as a member of the Christian Church. Margaret's paternal grandmother Elizabeth Ogden Read Wintersteen was a charter member of the Christian Church in Johnsonburg, Sussex (now Warren) County, New Jersey. The church was founded in 1824 (Snell 1881:666). Neither the Baptist nor the Christian Churches practice infant baptism; they only baptist adults. David and Mary Read may not have joined the Presbyterian Church until 1838. On the same day that Lydia was baptised, her older sisters Sarah Elizabeth and Margaret Ann were also baptised. A third sister, Mary Catherine, had died the previous September at the age of two (Marksboro Presbyterian). She had not been baptised.

Lydia appears on the 1840 census as a member of her father's houshold in Hardwick Township. She was listed as a female under the age of 5 (1840 United States Federal Census, Hardwick Township, Warren County, New Jersey, page 378). Lydia also appears on the 1850 census as a resident of her parent's household in Hardwick Township. She was 13 years old and attended school with her sisters Margaret and Rachel. Their older sister Sarah was at home helping their mother with the innumerable chores associated with such a large household. In addition, there was a toddler, 2 year old William, and an infant, ten month old Emma, who needed to be watched and kept away from the dangers of open fires and hot iron stoves (1850 United States Federal Census, Hardwick Township, Warren County, New Jersey, page 498, 19 August 1850).

In 1860, Lydia was 22 years old. She lived with her parents in Stillwater Township. Lydia was 22 years old when the census was enumerated, certainly old enough to marry (1860 United States Census, Stillwater Township, Sussex County, New Jersey, page 303). If she and Thamar had plans to marry, the advent of the Civil War changed all that. Thamar enlisted as a Lieutenant 1st Class on 2 September 1862. He recieved his commission on 19 September in the New Jersey 27th Infantry Volunteer Regiment, Co. A . This regiment was raised in Morris and Sussex counties and rendezvoused at Camp Frelinghuysen, near Newark. It was was mustered into service for nine months on 3 September. On 3 October the regiment recieved orders to prepare for the field. It left Newark on the 9th, the regiment and arrived in Washington D.C. on the 11th. The regiment was placed in a temporary camp on East Capitol hill. The regiment stayed there until 28 October and then moved into camp on the grounds of Robert E. Lee's conficated Arlington plantation (now Arlington National Cemetery). Between December 1st and 10th, the regiment marched to Fredericksburg, Virginia. In Fredericksburg it was assigned to the 2nd brigade, 1st division, 9th army corps. The regiment did not enter into actual during the Battle of Fredericksburg. They were held in reserve on the north bank of the Rappahannock River on December 10th. They crossed the river on the 12th and were again held in reserve. The Confederate army shelled the 27th during the afternoon of the 12th, but with hardly any effect. On the 13th the 27th was marched to the south and held in reserve. They made a short advance, but were ordred to halt. The 14th and 15th were spent on the field covering the withdrawal of the army. They crossed back to the north bank of the Rappahannock on the night of the 15th in the pouring rain. The settled into camp near Falmouth, Virginia (Bilby and Goble 1998:344-348; NPS; New Jersey Adjunct General's Office 1863:508; Snell 1881).
