A NUMBER of letters and material have been re=- ceived of a genealogical nature, with requests to in- corporate the same into this work. It is to be re- gretted that this cannot be done, as the object of this work is simply to preserve and perpetuate the names and biographical history of the most notable mem- bers of this family name. The preservation of such a record cannot fail to prove invaluable and a source of pride and interest not only to persons of the name but to the world in general ; and this book may prove the foundation upon which a monumental work mav be constructed.

NOW that we all have surnames, we are apt to for- get that it was not always so. We cannot eas- ily realize the time when John, Thomas and Andrew, Mary and Abigail, \vere each satisfied with a single name, nor reflect that the use of two is not a refine- ment dating from an ol^scure and unknown antiquity, but quite within the reach of record and history. Every name, no doubt, originally had a meaning, or ^vas at first assumed or imposed from its real or supposed fitness, from some accidental circumstance, or from mere caprice. Each individual is distinguished from his fellows b\' his name. But for this system his- tory and biography could scarcely exist. Our proper name is our individuality; in our own thoughts and in the thoughts of those \vho know us, they cannot be separated. Our names are uttered, and at once, whether in connection with blame or praise, with threat or entreat3% with hatred or love, we ourselves are affected by the ideas and feelings expressed. A few trifling words, in no way meant to apply to the man thc}^ describe, suffice to a\vaken the recollection of that man, his physical peculiarities, his moral character, and the most remarkable acts and events of his life; a few^ sjdlables will cause the tear to start afresh from the mother's e^-e, after years of consolation and resignation to her loss; they will sum- mon the tell-tale blush to the maiden's cheek, and she immediately thinks her secret is discovered; they will make a lover's heart beat more rapidly; rekindle the angry glance in an enemy's eye; and in a friend sep- arated from his friend, will renew all his past regrets and his fondest hopes. None the less rapidly do o:ir thoughts connect a name with the idea of the thing to ii INTRODUCTION. which it belongs, be it land of birth, country, town, river, road, valley or hill. Dislike, desire, recollection of pain or pleasure, admiration, jealousy, kind feelings, national hatreds and love of countr}-, one and all may be evoked by a single ^vord, because the Avord repre- sents to us the ver^' object which has created those emotions within us. Ever\' person, even the most in- curious observer of words and things, must have re- marked the great variet3' that exists in the names of families. He cannot fail to notice that such names are of widely different significations, many being identical wnth names of places, offices, professions, trades, qual- ities, familiar natural objects and other things. There is probably no person capable of the least degree of re- flection who has not often, in idle moments, amused himself Avith some little speculation on the probable origin of his own name. It is not sufficient for a per- son of inquisitive mind that he bears such and such a surname because his father and his grandfather bore it; he will naturally feel desirous of knowing \vhy and when their ancestors acquired it. What would the annals of mankind and the rec- ords of biography be if people had never borne any proper names? It \vould be a mere chaos of unde- fined incidents and an unintelligible mass of facts, with- out SA-mmetry or beaut}^ and without any interest at all for after ages. Indeed, without names, mankind would have wanted what is perhaps the greatest stim- ulous of which the mind is susceptible — the love of fame; and consequently, manv of the mightiest achieve- ments in ever3^ department of human endeavor would have been lost to the world. Mau}'^ of our ancient and inodern institutions are intimately connected with the meaning and continued existence of proper names. It has been well said that hereditary names perpetuate the memory of ancestors *i« INTRODUCTION. iii better than any other monument, an affectionate re- membrance this, surely, and one which fosters the cause of morality; they teach, or at any rate remind sons of their duty to be worthy of their ancestors. Though its importance be felt in all phases of our social life, the origin of proper names does not essen- tially belong to a civilized condition. Undoubtedly it is intimately connected with the gift of speech, A man must call his children by a distinctive appellation, either when he speaks to them or when he speaks of them in their absence, and when a gesture and an inflection of the voice are not sufficient to indicate, his meaning. The distinctive title which he uses can only be a name exclusively applicable to the individual meant; on the other hand, the father \vill recognize the name given to him by his children. Again, the domestic animal, man's intelligent companion in his field sports, and the watch- ful guardian of his dwelling; the brook that runs be- neath his home; the tree that shelters or the forest that conceals it; the hill or the vale near v^hich it lies, will soon be named by those who wish to distinguish them from similar objects around. If other men come to live near the first famih', they will receive a name and give one in return. However simple these names be at first, so simple that they express nothing beyond the degree of rela- tionship between father and mother and children, and the order of their birth in the case of the last; be they mere substantives used to point out more specially the dwelling and all that surrounds it; as the hut, the tree, or the brook — or even supposing that in the common intercourse which may exist between one family and its neighbor the only distinctive terms employed are we and the^', and further, that sun, fire, destruction, or thunder, designate the beneficent or angry deitv — still the system of proper names already exists in embryo, iv INTRODUCTION. and is reach' to be further developed, even to the high- est degree of importance and intricacy, in pro])ortion as the social principle itself becomes more extended and more complicated in its constitution. Add new members to the family; collect several fam- ilies together and form them into one tribe; place a number of tribes holding friendly relations with one another in a less limited tract of land; then will the spot occupied by each tribe, every village or cluster of inhabitants belonging to the same tri1)c, everv hill and thicket and brook — in a word, the land and the gath- ering of men upon it assume proper names, just as the tribes had already done before, and the families and the individuals that constituted them. From this outline of the first elements of social life, let us remove, in thought, for a moment, and place ourselves in the heart of civilized existence. The names of lands and dwellings have changed into the designa- tions of powerful states and magnificent cities; names ^vhich will be familiar for centuries after the grass has grown over and hidden even the ruins of their palaces and their fortresses and obliterated tlie very traces of their existence, and after political or naturally induced revolutions have depopulated, divided and totally dis- membered the provinces of mighty empires. Here the names of men distinguish the individual members of a great social body, magistrates, princes, chiefs of the great civil and political whole; and among these names, all of them less or more important ^it present, there are some which hereafter shall be handed do^vn to his- tor\^ as a rich inheritance, an object of envy to the am- bitious, and a pattern of conduct to the wise. ^•, HISTORICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL THE NAME OF SMITH. The word smith, is Angrlo-Saxon from smitan, to smite — originally any one who strikes or smited with a hammer, an artificer, a carpenter, smith, or workman. One who worked in iron was called iren smith, which means an iron smith. Be- sides Smiths simple we have Smithsons (heritors of the thrice nohle name of Percy). Blacksmiths and Whitesmiths have been lately discovered, but they are very rare. More than two hundred years ago old Verstesran asked the question : "Whence comes Smith, all ; be he Knight or Squire — but from the Smith that forgeth at the fire." The surname of Smith explains itself. Under its different forms of spellinsr and pronunciation, as, for instance, in Ger- man, Schmitz or Schmidt; Dutch, Smitt; French. Smeets; Saxon, Smid (hence Smiddy or Smithy) ; English, Smith and Smythe, also the English Smyttan, and the Scotch Smeton and Smeaton ; the name is a common one, not only in Europe, but in America, and everywhere. Of surnames derived from occupations, Smith is the most numerous. It is stated that there are over a quarter of a million of people in Great Britain bearing the name. In Lardner's Cyclopedia, the fol- lowing paragraph occurs: "One of our historians observes that immediately preceding the Conquest, the art of working in iron and steel had risen to such a state of improvement that even the horses of some of the chief knights and barons were covered with steel and iron armor. Artificers who wrought in iron were so highly regarded in those warlike times, that every military officer had his smith, who constantly attended his person, to keep his arms and armor in order. The chief smith was an officer of considerable dignity in the court of the Anglo-Saxon and Welsh kings, where his weregeld. or pav- ment. was much higher than that of any other artificer. In the Welsh court the king's smith sat next to the domestic chaplain, and was entitled to a drauarht of every kind of liquor that was brousrht into the hall. As the same trade and occunation was often practiced in former times by the same family for many generations, descending hereditarily from father to son, the names of occupations the more readily be- came stationary family names. 10 HISTORICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL THE FIRST OF THE NAME OF Sl\nTH IN AMERICA. One of the first settlers of New England was Abraham Smith, who was a resident of Cambridge, Mass., in 1646. He bonsrht land. Alice and John Smith came in the Planter in 1635. Benjamin Smith was an attorney, and a proprietor of Dedham. Christo ph er Smith was a proprietor of Dedham in 1640. In his will he bequeathed to his sons John Smith, Michael. Eleazer. Daniel Smith was a planter of Watertown, and bought land in 1645. His will provided for wife and son Daniel. Edward Smith was a town clerk and a proprietor of Wey- mouth in 1643. Edward Smith, a gunsmith of Boston, left estate in New England. Francis Smith was juryman in 1630. He was a proprietor at Boston and a land owner at Lynn. Francis Smith was a proprietor at "Watertown in 1636, and was also a town officer. His son John was a proprietor and town officer also. Francis Smith was a proprietor of Hingham in 1635. He had a deed of land at Weymouth. He bequeathed in his will to his wife and his eldest son Samuel. Henry Smith, a very early settler of Dorchester, Mass.. was also a proprietor in 1634. He was a prominent citizen. Henry Smith was a proprietor in 1637; and came to New England with his two children. John and Sethe. In his will he bequeathed to his son John. As an early settler of New England, Henry Smith came first to Charlestown. Mass. He was a deacon and a deputy. He bequeathed in his will to sons Henry and Daniel. Hugh Smith was a proprietor of Rowley, Mass., and was also a town officer. In his will he bequeathed to his wife, and the estate was to be divided between the children at her death or marriage. Jacob Smith was a proprietor at Marblehead in 1648, and at Gloucester before 1649. In his will he bequeathed to his James Smith settled at Weymouth in 1639. He was a pro- prietor, and was an o^vner of lands. In his will he bequeathed to James and Nathaniel Smith, his sons. Bev. John Smith was a minister of Barnstable, Mass. He HISTORICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL tried to organize a church, which the council refused. He was pastor at Sandwich in 1637-39. His sons were Samuel, Ebenezer, John, Shubael, John, Benjamin, Ichabod, Thomas and Joseph. John Smith, herdsman and proprietor, came in the James and settled at Dorchester in 1635. In his will he partly be- queathed to his son John. Rev. Ralph Smith came over to New England in 1628, with the colony of the Massachusetts Bay Company. He became a pastor and went to Manchester. Ralph Smith was an early settler of New England, and came to Charlestown in 1633. He left a son Samuel. Samuel Smith came in the Elizabeth to Ipswich, and set- tled at Salem in 1634. Thomas Smith, a weaver, settled in Ipswich. He came in the James in 1635. His widow left an estate to his sons James and John Smith. Thomas Smith was a carpenter who settled in "Watertown, Mass., in 1636, and was a proprietor. He left property to Thomas, John, Ephraim, Joseph and Jonathan, his sons. A descendant writes me that some aspiring Smith or Smythe claims for us a sea-horse rampant, with the motto. Calm amid the waves ; and it does not seem inappropriate for our seafaring race. The surname of Smith is of great antiquity in Scotland, and of old was variously written Smyt, Smyth, and Smith; and sometimes they have been called Gow, which is Gaelic for Smith. The traditional account of their origin is that they are descended from Clan Chattan; that Neil Croomb, third son of Murdock of that clan, avIio lived in the reign of William the Lion, was their progenitor. The sejant cat is the motto, "Na beau d'on chat gan la na hainee," which means Touch not the cat without a glove. The Clan Chattan, who gave the name to the county of Caithness, bore as their cognizance the wild mountain cat, and called their chieftain, the Earl of Sutherland, "Mohr au that," which means The great wild cat. The coat of arms belonging to the family of Sir John Wyldboro Smith, of County Dorset, England, has for its motto Semper fidelis, which seems singularly appropriate also, when we think of all who have devoted themselves to their country's service. 12 HISTORICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL COAT-OF-ARMS OF THE SMITH FAMILY. Arms: — Sable, six fleur-de-lis ardent three, two and one. Crest: — Out of a ducal coronet or a demi-bull salient argent armed of the first. Motto:— Nee timeo, nee sperno. THE 8I\riTHS IN AMERICA.
