“William SMOOTE(S) Immigrated about 1646 with Grace, his wife, Thomas, Richard, Elizabeth, Ann, & Ales, his children, Elizabeth WOOD, his wife’s daughter, & Ann WOODNOT, his servant.” (A Supplement to The Early Settlers of Maryland compiled by Carson Gibb, Ph.D. AB&H:230, 243 Film No.: SR 7344; MSA SC 4341-2303)

p. 154 4 June 1651 400 acres laid out on the west side of the Wiccomico River....for Will: SMOOT. (FHL microfilm 13064, MD patents, Liber ABH (Vol. 4) extracted by Fredric Z. Saunders)

p. 230 13 Nov. 1652 “William SMOOTES his Titles for Land Viz. for Transporting himself Grace his Wife Thomas Richard Elizabeth Ann and Ales SMOOTE his Sons and Daughters and Elizabeth WOOD his Wives Daughter about the year 1646 and Ann WOODNOT his Servant about two Years Since upon which Rights he took up Three Hundred Acres upon the Herring Creek and Four Hundred Acres since upon Wiccohomico River.” (FHL microfilm 13064, MD patents, Liber ABH (Vol. 4) extracted by Fredric Z. Saunders)

p. 242 26 Jan. 1652 Laid out for Will: SMOOTE land on the west side of Wiccohomico River....400 acres. (FHL microfilm 13064, MD patents, Liber ABH (Vol. 4) extracted by Fredric Z. Saunders)

p. 243 26 Jan. 1652 Patent to Will: SMOOT of 400 acres “for Transporting Elizabeth Ann and Alis SMOOTE his Daughters and Elizabeth WOOD his Wive’s Daughter in to our said Province before the year 1651....” (to side in different handwriting is written Atwicks Purchase) (FHL microfilm 13064, MD patents, Liber ABH (Vol. 4) extracted by Fredric Z. Saunders)

The information is somewhat ambiguous, but it appears to likely be but one William Smoot. The 13 Nov. 1652 record shows that the William who received the 300 acre tract on Herring Creek (“Smoot”), and the 400 acre tract on the Wiccohomico River (“Atwicks Purchase”) were the same person. The patent for the 400 acre “Atwicks Purchase” shows this was for transportation of his wife and 3 daughters. The warrant for “Smoote” was listed for transportation of himself, wife, and two children. He would have been entitled to 400 acres here, but only received a patent on 300 acres (presumably for himself and two sons), thus using his wife’s transportation later on “Atwicks Purchase.” What is confusing is the 4 June 1649 warrant for 100 acres for transportation of himself and two children. If this is a different William Smoot, he should have been entitled to 300 acres, not 100 acres. If this is the same William Smoot, he shouldn’t have been entitled to any land, as he had already received the 300 acre “Smoote” for those threes transportation. The only explanation I can figure is that he was trying to get the additional 100 acres that he didn’t get when he got only a 300 acre patent, for transportation of himself, wife and two children, when he was entitled to 400 acres. Technically then the warrant should have only mentioned transportation of one person, not three. Although there is the warrant, I don’t find a patent for this 100 acres. It would appear he didn’t follow through on this, and decided then to transfer his wife’s transportation to the 400 acre “Atwicks Purchase.” No mention of land claimed for his wife’s daughter Elizabeth Wood, and servant Ann Woodnot. There is the mention of 50 acres being assinged to Thomas Bushnell, possibly he assigned the rights of the other 150 acres, also.
