SMALLWOOD
Colonel James Smallwood, the immigrant to Maryland from England, 1664, was the founder of the principal Smallwood family in America. He was a planter. He resided in Charles County, Maryland. Smallwood was a large landowner. His holdings included "Goates Lodge," "Welcome,""Elthan," "May Day," "Tat- shall," "Batchellors Delight," "Hopewell," "Friendship," "St. Edmonds," and "Bayne." He also owned an ordinary at Chandlertown, Charles County, Maryland.
Colonel Smallwood was High Sheriff of Charles County in 1694. At about that same time he was a commissioner of the county. He was a member of the Mary land Assembly. Colonel Smallwood rendered outstanding service to Maryland in the use of his skills as a negotiator. On behalf of the Cajvert Proorietor- ehip he concluded treaties of friendship with his trusted friends, Marguanteh, King of the Mattewoman Indians, and Thorn Calout, King of Chaptico (or Chop- tico), respectively. The Indian chieftains respected Col. Smallwood and he reciprocated their trust in hia.
Smallwood is an ancient name in England. No doubt, Col. Smallwood was related to another early arrival, Randall Smalwood (sic). Randall Snalwood appears on "A List of Names of the Living in Virginia, February 1623." Doubtless, the locale was Jamestown Island, Virginia. (Hotten's Emigrants to the American Plantations 1600-1700). Margaret Smallwood, of Smallwood and Prestbury, South Chester, England, married on May 19, 1624, Richard Lockett, bcrn at Swettenham, June 18, 1574, Richard Lockett was a grandson of Jeffery Lockett, of Swetten ham, whose pedigree is recorded in H. M, College of Arms. "Lockett" is a prominent surname in England. In the twentieth century a member of this dis tinguished family married into European royalty.*
Major General William Smallwood
General Smallwood was the son of Bayne2 Smallwood, Esquire, a great landowner of Charles County, Maryland. He was the great-grandson of Col. James Smallwood, the immigrant. General Smallwood was a second cousin of the four brothers, James, Stephen, Ledstone,3 and Jesse Noland who served in the Revolutionary War and whose descendants were prominently identified with the
Juan Bradstock Edgard Lockett, born in 1912, married H.R.H. Princess Hilda Maria Gabrielle of Bavaria, daughter of the late H.R.H. Crown Prince Rup- precht, of Bavaria, and his wife, H.R.H. Princess Antoinette, of Luxembourg. 234
early history of Jackson County, Missouri.
General Smallwood (1732-1792) was a hero of the Revolutionary War. He was born in the same year as was General George Washington. He played a major role in the American Revolutionary War and was one of Maryland's greatest leaders. A native of Maryland, General .Smallwood was educated at Kendall and Eton in England. As did General George Washington, General Smallwood served in the French and Indian War (175^-1760).
General Smallwood fought in many battles of the Revolutionary War. He was wounded at the Battle of White Plains, New York. Included among the battles in which he fought were the Battles of Long Island, Ft. Washington, Trenton, Princeton and Germantown. Smallwood and hie soldiers were cited for heroism displayed at the Battle of Camden, South Carolina. Subsequently, he was ele vated to division commander. Smallwood*s troops at Fort Putnam covered Washington's retreat and saved the American Array. The designation "Old Line State," (Maryland) honored Smallwood's soldiers for the bravery they exhibited in covering the retreat of tiie American Array to Brooklyn (Battle of Long Is land).
General Smallwood did not share General Washington's enthusiasm for the alleged military prowess of titled foreigners who were given prestigious posts in the Army of the Revolution. Smallwood disliked foreigners. Although there is no record of his having registered an official protest against General Baron de Kalb, Smallwood vehemently protested the elevation of General Baron von Steuben to a position superior to that held by Smallwood.
The Smallwoods were allied with some of the most prominent families of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia. Many marriages were celebrated between the descendants of Fierce Noland, and the descendants of Colonel James Smallwood, respectively. About the mid 1700s members of the Smallwood, Noland and Bassell families raoved froa Maryland to North Carolina, travelling by way of the Old Carolina Road, Loudoun County, Virginia; thence to Kentucky, Indiana, Alabama, Mississippi and Missouri. Some remained in Loudoun County, Virginia. One such is believed to have been Pierce Noland, officer in the Revolutionary War. It say have been he or another Pierce Noland who married Mary Powell, the daughter of Elisha Powell, of Loudoun County.

' Named for John Bayne, of Charles County, Maryland - Col. James Smallwood was -trustee for John Bayne's will. -\ ' Arthur L. Keith, author of Ssallwood Family of Charles Comity, recites how the name "Ledstone" (also Loadstone) came into the Smallwood family: "On January 30, 1687/8 Nicholas Lidstone (also Lydestone), mariner, of Dartmouth in the county of Devon, England, and William Hayne of the same place appointed James Smallwood of Charles County, Maryland, as their attorney (La Plate. Lib. N. No. 1, fol. 319)." 235
Jamestown Island The Travis and Ambler families had acquired in the early days the ownership of the entire Island. The Travis mansion was the scene of lavish parties which were attended by the Janes River aristocracy. The following is quoted from Volume V, Genealogies of Virginia Families - William and Mary College Quarterly Historical Magazine, Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., Baltimore, Maryland, 1982:
Partial accounts of this family have been published in the Magazine from time to time, and the facts may be now collected here in a more connected statement. John Johnson, "yeoman and ancient planter," was living at Jamestown Island in 1624 with his wife Anne, Son John aged one year; daughter, Anne aged 4 years; and maidservant. He patented .15 acres on the Bast side of the Island. 1. Edward* Travis married Johnson's "only daughter and heir" before 1637, as proved by a patent for land at Chipoak's Creek, in James City County (now Surry County). Burgess far James City County in 1644, patented 326 acres at east end of Jamestown Island in 1653, which was confirmed to "his son and heir," 2. Edward Travis in 1663. (Land Register and Hotten's Immigrants.) By other patents obtained froa time to time the Travis interests were increased to about 838 acres in all, located at the East end of Jamestown Island. In the course of time the west end became the property of the Ambler family. It was not. until 1831 that the Travises and Amblers parted with their interests on the Island.
2. Edward2 Travis aarried, it is believed, Elizabeth Champion, for a power of attorney was recorded in 1678 in Surry County by Edward Travis and Elizabeth, his wife, witnessed by John Champion and William Harrison. (Surry County Records). This John Champion was probably the John Champion, who was living in Isle of Wight County about 1687 (QUARTERLY, VII, 244.) His tombstone is in the Travis burial ground at the East end of Jamestown Island, according to which he was born Noveraber 10, 1660, and died December 16, 1700. He was doubtless a brother of Mrs. Travis; Edward Travis according to his tombstone which lies by John Champion's died Noveraber 12, 1700.
Barrett Travis of Alamo Fame
The following is quoted from "Smallwood Family of Charles County" (Mary land) , by Arthur L. Keith - Maryland Genealogies - from the Maryland Historical Magazine, Vol. II - Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., Baltimore, 1980:
The Stafford (Stafford County, Va.) records are very incomplete. 236
but they do show that one William Smallwood of that county was exor in 1765 of Willian Travis (great-grandfather of Col. William Barrett Travis of Alamo fame). Furthermore, a Barrett Travis who came from this part of Virginia to Edgefield County, South Carolina, where he died in 1814, is said to have married Ann Smallwood, and among their sons was one named Prior Smallwood Travis. The name Smallwood also appears twice among their grandchildren. This William Smallwood of Stafford County is probably identical with William, son of Prior. (Bd. note: And Prior Smallwood, who died in 1734, was the son of the immigrant, Col. James Smallwood, of Charles County, Maryland, The aforementioned William Smallwood was the uncle of Major General William Ssallwood, distinguished for gallantry in the War of the Revolution, and Governor of Maryland). 237 COLONEL JAMES SMALLWOOD (*) High Sheriff of Charles County, Maryland.

Residence: "Smallwood's Retreat," Charles County, Maryland, an estate which originally comprised 5,000 acres, located on the bank of the Potomac River, and now the site of the General Smallwood State Park. While Felix Burns slept, a "Federal" (Union Army soldier) slipped into Quantrill's camp one night and split his, Felix Burns', head open with an ax. Both Felix and Tyler Burns, brothers, were members of William Clarke Quantrill's guerrilla band (Confederate-affiliated). Both Felix and Tyler Burns lost their lives in guerrilla warfare. Another bro+her is believed to have been the Richard Burns who was a member of the James Boys gang. There was a fourth brother. The Burns boys' sister, Mrs. McMurty (McMurtry) - "Aunt Puss" - probably was Mrs. Lee McMurtry whose husband was a member of Quantrill's band. 238

Official Maryland records take note that "Colonel Washington, of Virginia, and Captain Thomas Trueman, of Calvert County, Maryland, had orders to join their forces with those of Colonel Thomas Hollyday, of Prince George County, Maryland, to pursue Indian Marauders, in the year 1697." Mary Trueman, it is recorded, waa related to many families of southern Maryland. Lucy^ Heabard Smallwood and Margaret* Smallwood (Bayne?, Pryor2, Col. Jsanes1) Married John Truman (sic) Stoddert, and Walter Truman (sic) Stoddert, respectively. There is some reason to believe that PreBient Harry 3. Truman was related to the "Maryland 243-a
Trumansi (l)"Among Harry Truman's ancestors were quite a few Old Settlers, not to mention judges, colonels and even generals." (Life Magazine. July 11, 1949, Page 98). (2) "General Truman made his camp near Waggoner's Mill, at the site of present day Independence." (The Centennial History of Independence. Missouri, by W. L. Webb). (3) "A grandson of Anderson Shippe Truman, Ralph Emerson Truman, was a Major General in the U. S, National Guard and died at Kansas City in I962." (Burke's Presidential Families of the United States of America).
President Truman was descended from Anderson Doniphan of King George County, Virginia. The Graysons were descended from Mary Doniphan, wife of Travers Cooke, of Virginia. It is quite probable that President Truman was related to the familiee of Grayson, Cooke, Travers, Travis, and Smallwood through the Truman and Doniphan families of Maryland and Virginia. Col. Alexander William Doniphan won fame as the leader of Company A (Missourians) in the Mexican War. 244

County Records P. 88 through 92) (Contributed) THE COWHERD FAMILY In 1066, when Willias the Conqueror skimmed the cream of his country, culled out the most energetic war men, gathered around hira the nobles and knights of Normandy and all France, marched into England, killed King Harold and took possession of England, "he built on the spot where Harold fell" an abbey in meraory of his triumph, which he named Battle Abbey. It was intended for 140 Benedictine monks. In this abbey was preserved by the monks a so-called "Roll of Battle Abbey," believed to be a list of those eminent persons who accompanied the Conqueror to England. The English historian. Rev. Joseph Hunter, believed :KA this roll was of those only who brought families. Hollinshed and Stow each had copies, but they were not alike. However this may be, in one list at least, will be found the names De Montague, De Burford, De lacy, De Colbie Twiraym and De Co-wert (later Co-ward and finally Coward and Cowherd). Twi man and Twyman and Tewyman. History tells us that when the army of the Conqueror cane to England it brought the Norman fashion of naming a rich aan from his property and a poor man from his trade. Thus these men got their names from Beaufort Castle, Montecute or Montague Castle, Roger de Colbie (Colby owned the estate and village of La Cowert), Take almost any of the first settlers of Virginia and you will find the name spelled in several different ways - Barbor, Barber and finally Barbour. So with Colbie, Colby; Cowert, Coward, Cowherd, Cowherd and Choward (see "British Family Names and Their Meaning.") Both Burke and Sir Henry St. George, in their "Armory" and "Visitations," give the same arms and crest for the Coward or Cowherd family, as follows: Arras - Azure on a chevron gules - 3 martlets or; on a chief of the second, a cannon of the third. Crest - a Demigrayhound sable, holding between his paws a stag's head argent, attired or. Sir Henry St. George, in his "Visitation of West Pennard, Somersetshire, England,' gives the above arms, crest and Pedigree of the family of John Coward. Froa that family came Jonathan Coward to Virginia. His son, Jonathan, married a Miss Colby and had several children, one of which was James, who changed the spel ling to Cowherd. His name as an officer in the War of the Revolution is on record at the War Department, and is spelled both ways. He was a man of large estate in several counties in Virginia. Mr. Crozier, in his "Virginia County Records," Vol. 1, mentions him a nun ter of times in lists of deeds given for various tracts of land sold by hia in Spotsylvania County, Va., in 1734; wit nesses were his friends, Robert Slaughter and Zachary Taylor. The same writer states that he served tftree years in the Continental Line. He was vestryman many years of St. Marks Parish. (*) This tract was made available by Mrs. J.
