Other Events and Attributes:

• Will: 20 Mar 1778, Charles Co, Maryland

Notes:

Charles Smoot, son of Thomas and Elizabeth (Barton) Smoot, was born in the year 1700 at the parental homestead on the Wicomico. He was orphaned when he was not more than five years of age and, according to the will of his father, he was placed under the guardianship of his maternal uncle, Colonel William Barton, of Prince Georges County. Colonel Barton died within the same year as that of Thomas Smoot, and by a codicil to his will he mentioned the land left Charles by his father Thomas.

Charles Smoot married thrice, his first wife being Elizabeth, the daughter of Thomas and Martha (Sansbury) Harris.

Children of Charles and Elizabeth (Harris) Smoot

1. Elizabeth Smoot married Henry Smith Hawkins.
Well advanced in his thirties Charles Smoot married secondly Mary, daughter of Randolph and Anne Brandt, who was also the step-daughter of Barton, his brother. Circumstances also seem to indicate that Mary had been the second wife but childless widow of ---- Goodrick.


Children of Charles and Mary (Brandt) Smoot

1. Henley Smoot married Eleanor Briscoe. q.v.
2. John Nathan Smoot married twice. q.v.
3. William Barton Smoot married Elizabeth Hanson. q.v.
4. Mary Smoot married July 16, 1782, William, born Sept. 23, 1740, died Jan. 19, 1809, son of William and Barbara (Acton) McPherson. Issues: Elizabeth, born Apr. 15, 1783; Henry Hendley, born 1786; Thomas; William; Mary; and Harriot.

Shortly after the marriage of his eldest daughter, Elizabeth to Henry Smith Hawkins, Charles Smoot deeded to them the tract called "Daniel's Mount" for natural love and affections. The conveyance was recorded in Charles County on August 11, 1750, with Mary Smoot, wife, relinquishing her interest.

A warrant was issued to him in 1761 for 130 acres of land in Charles County to be known as "Chance Enlarged", which seems to be the only record of a land patent in his name.
His second wife died prior to June 21, 1766. The fact that she maintained a separate estate and that Charles Smoot, the widower, was appointed administrator by the court is proof that she had a life interest in the property. The inventory papers were filed on September 16, 1767, with an appraisement of £452/8/4, with William Courts and James Maddox as the sureties. Distribution was made on October 11, 1768, to the following representatives, no relationship stated--Ignatius Middleton, William Stone, Charles Sewell, Frances Goodrick, and the heirs of Edward Goodrick deceased. It is assumed that they were her step- children or their husbands who claimed their father's estate upon the death of his widow.

Charles Smoot took for a third wife his cousin Elizabeth, the daughter of William and Rachel Barton, but successively the widow of Henry Brawner and Aaron Nalley. She had married her first husband on January 2, 1726/7, in Rock Creek Parish, of Prince Georges County. He died prior to 1749, leaving six children. The following have been proved-- William, Barton, and Henry. By her second husband she became the mother of four sons--John, Aaron, Richard, and Nathan Barton. To the latter chidren she deeded on March 26, 1767, her personal estate but reserved it to her use during life and that of Charles Smoot "providing that the said Charles Smoot should marry me in six months". Two days later she deeded "Wentworth Woodhouse" to her three Brawner sons "providing if Charles Smoot should marry me honourably in six months". At this date most assuredly a courtship was in progress.

WILLIAM BARTON SMOOT5
(1746 - 1822)
William Barton Smoot, son of Charles and Mary (Brandt) Smoot, was born about 1746 in the Wicomico District of Charles County, where his great-grandfather settled nearly 100 years before. He, however, left the immediate environs of his father's plantation and established his seat near the present hamlet of Newport in Trinity Parish where a number of the younger sons of the landed barons of the Wicomico settled when their patrimony did not entitle them to the ancestral seat. He engaged in the tanning trade, an occupation which proved the foundation for considerable affluence of the Smoots for a later day.

He selected his wife from among the eligible daughters of Judge Walter Hanson and Elizabeth his wife, the daughter of William Hoskins.

William Barton Smoot was active in the cause for independence and in 1777 served as private then sergeant in the company of Captain Walter Hanson of the Twelfth Battalion of Charles County Militia.3

Walter Hanson was willed the land purchased from Robert Edelen, and Hanson the land where Edward Ford resided called "Bridges" and "Smoot's Triangle". Mary Letitia Briscoe and Elizabeth Eleanor Briscoe, grand-daughters, were devised personalty.

The inventory on August 31, 1821, showed numerous tannery utensils. At the sale of his personal estate on November 23, 1823, among the buyers were William Hoskins Smoot, Hanson Smoot, Dr. Charles Smoot, Walter H. Smoot, Letitia H. Smoot, John Smoot, Charles Smoot, and Walter Smoot Hoskins.

On August 4, 1825, Letitia Hanson Smoot, William Hoskins Smoot, and John Smoot conveyed the following tracts--"Chance Enlarged", "Brother", "Boarman's Hazard", and "George's Rest"--beginning at Zachia Swamp, all of which had been deeded to their father, William Barton Smoot, by Samuel Chapman.

By 1763 John Stone had become a widower and had married Mary, the daughter of Barton Warren, but then the widow and administratrix of Harrison Musgrove. On June 6, 1758, she, then being Mrs. Mary Musgrove, shared in the distribution of her father's estate. On April 29, 1760, she was granted letters of administration on the estate of her deceased husband, Harrison Musgrove, with Notley Warren and John Warren offering bond. The final settlement was made by her on May 15, 1762, as Mary Musgrove, and showed distribution to her and unnamed children.

The instrument was admitted to probate in Charles County on September 12, 1775, by Samuel Stone, Elizabeth Stone, and Theophilus Hanson.

The inventory of his personal estate was taken on May 31, 1776, with Mary Stone and Josiah Stone as the executors, and Barton Stone and Samuel Stone as the kinsmen.

His estate was distributed on November 5, 1776, to the widow, and the following representatives--William Stone, Josiah Stone, John Stone, Matthew Stone, Warren Stone, Elizabeth Stone, Barton Stone, and John Gray. The sureties for the executors were Thomas Stone and Edward Warren.

Before 1778 his widow with her Stone children either joined
or settled with her Musgrove children in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, then an undeveloped and outpost county of that State.

At the December term of court in 1778, Thomas Stone "one of the surviving administrators" of John Stone offered a petition setting forth the fact that the decease's estate was then in the hands of Mary Stone and Josias Stone and that most of it had been wasted or removed out of the State and that he "is in danger of suffering in the responsibility", and therefore the court ordered that the other executors be summoned to the next court. On February 12, 1779, Benjamin Philphott and Thomas Harris gave bond for Mary Stone, widow, and Josias Stone, executors of John Stone.

William Stone, son of Matthew and Rachel (Smoot) Stone, was born at "Poynton Manor", Charles County, Maryland. Although he was a minor in 1748, at the time his father negotiated his will, he was of sufficient age in 1759 to be made the executor of his mother's estate. During the Revolutionary War he served as a private in the Charles County militia under Captain Stinnett (Unpublished Maryland Records, vol. 2, p. 279). In 1783 he was a tax payer in Upper Durham Hundred.
