PREFACE,

HAT redoubted hero, Hudibras, dif-

covered, to his coft, that

" — perils do environ

The man that meddles with cold iron"

But a fomewhat older poet than Butler propounded the following comforting doctrine,

—" Si deficiant vires, audacia certe

Laus erit."

Laying this flattering undlion to my foul, I approach my ftupendous fubjedr. with but little diffidence, for " few will, I think, deny that any attempt to " meddle heraldically or genealogically with fuch a fubject as vi Preface.

Smith is not only fraught with much peril, but de- mands a confiderable amount of what is vulgarly called "pluck."

" Smith," fays Mr. Lower, " is a topic which re- quires no common handling ; why, it demands a fepa- rate effay, a difTertation, a volume, to do it anything likejuftice!"

It is calculated that about one in every feventy per- forms that one meets in this country this mono- fyllabical patronymic. In London alone, we learn from the " Directory," there are over fifteen hundred Smiths ; " and be it re- membered," fays the " Times," in noticing this, " that thefe are all houfeholders and heads of families. If we add the women and children, the lodgers and working men of the fame clan all over London, whofe names do not appear in Directories, we fhall have a population of Smiths equal to that of many confider- able towns which return their two members to Par- liament."

In public opinion this ubiquitous name is invariably aflbciated with meannefs and vulgarity. It is an " un- lucky cognomen," an "immortal furname," a "ple- beian appellation ;" its bearers are defcribed in newf- —

Preface. vii

paper paragraphs as " rejoicing in the name of Smith," indeed it is everywhere regarded with contempt and has long been confidered fair game for the facetious fallies of fatirifts and comic writers who have done their beft to render it ludicrous infomuch that many of its over-fenfitive bearers have thought fit to tranf- mute it into Smyth, Smythe, and even Smijth, under the delufion that its refpedtability increafes in proportion to the quaint or fantaftic manner in which it is written.

But though by no means euphonious, it is not quite fo infignificant or fo plebeian a name as its revilers would have the world believe.

Does not Sir tell us that all the

Smiths in Scotland are defcended from Neil Croomb, third fon of Murdoch, of the clan Chattan, who flou- rifhed in the reign of William the , fix hundred years ago ?

Smiths have there been, noble in every fenfe of the word ; and at what period of Englifh hiftory has not fome member of the family added luftre to its—if you will ignoble name ? The Church, the , the Bench, the Army, the

Navy ; Law, Phyfic, Divinity, Science—all owe fome- thing to this prolific race. ;

viii Preface.

In modern times the names of Sir Sidney Smith, the hero of Acre; Sir Harry Smith, the hero of Aliwal and Sir Lionel Smith, in the annals of warfare, are

names which the world will not willingly let die.

Then we have Adam Smith, Henry [alias " Dog")

Smith, the Surrey benefactor ; Dr. Robert Smith, of " Smith's prizeman " notoriety; William Smith, the

founder of Brazenofe ; William Smith the " father of Englifh Geology ; " and Jofeph Smith the Mormon, the father of many children.

There is Alexander Smith the poet ; James and

Horace Smith—par nobile fratrum ; Albert Smith; Sydney Smith, " the witty Canon of St. Paul's," and

his fcarcely lefs celebrated nephew, who now bears the more ariftocratic cognomen of Vernon and the

title of Lyveden. Seventeen knighted Smiths are regiftered in the

pages of "Townfend," and eight ftill exifting in thofe of " Walford " and " Debrett."

Nay, turn to the and Baronetage. Are there not two barons, 1 one vifcount, 2 and eleven baronets 3

of this clan ? And even the patrician blood of Stanley has mingled with that of Smith.

What (hall we fay again of the z/#-titled ariftocracy ? " The various editions of " Burke's comprife the pedigrees of thirty-fix families of Smith, moft of them either paternally gentle, or by alliances inheritors of fome of 's beft blood ; whilft Mr.

Walford, in the laft edition (1868) of his "County Families," catalogues no fewer than one hundred Smiths, of whom eight are , feven are baronets, and thirteen are, or have been, members of the Houfe of Commons.' The " Hiftory of the name and race of Smith" has yet to be written. It would be too gigantic a tafk for any author to undertake, but there are numerous pedigrees of families of this name as well in print as in manufcript, which, if collected, would form a moft curious and interefting volume.

Families of this name, in county hiftories, &c, un- lefs they have poffeffed for any length of time heredi-

tary eftates, are often difmified with a few brief para-

Afhton ; of Eaft Stoke (now Bromley) ; and of Newland (now Dodfworth).

graphs ; indeed, the very name is fufficient to frighten a genealogift. Hence Smiths of gentle blood may exift who, ignorant of their juft right to arms, may

" fue out frefh liveries " at the 's , thus rendering their family pedigree almofl untraceable whilft others, feeling the neceffity of difplaying a , and unwilling to incur the expenfe of a new grant, may adopt the ufual method of parvennes and choofe for themfelves one of the coats affigned to the name in the heraldic dictionaries, and fo intrude themfelves into a family with whom they are in no-

wife connected, whilft, were it poffible to deduce their

pedigree, it might be found that they were properly

entitled to armorial honours.

Great laxity now prevails in regard to arms. There

is nothing fave public opinion to prevent Mr. Howard the fhopkeeper from afluming the proud bearings of

the ducal houfe of Norfolk ; but in its integrity,

Heraldry is a moft ufeful handmaid to , and

all who lawfully the fame arms may be fairly pre- fumed to be members of the fame family. The themfelves, however, were not always

quite blamelefs in this refpecT:, and no doubt fometimes

allowed armorial bearings to a family claiming to be

defcended from an armigerous flock, on infufficient Preface. xi

evidence. And now-a-days a much more to be de- plored practice prevails of granting to new candidates for armorial honours a coat of arms founded upon that borne by a family of the fame name from whom they may or may not be defcended.

Some one hundred and fifty years ago there was a great feftive gathering of Smiths in London. They met, principally, it is fuppofed, for genealogical pur-

pofes, and dined together in Drapers' Hall ; all prefent, from the lord who prefided, to the humbleft waiter who brought in the cabbage, being Smiths ; and it was refolved to make it an annual feftival to laft for all time.

" I have recently had under my eye," fays a writer in " Notes and Queries," (Firft Series, x. p. 463), " a

' Congratulatory poem upon the noble feaft made by the ancient and renowned family of the Smiths. London, printed for James Smith at the Elephant and

Cajlle, near the Royal Exchange in Cornhill.'

" The poet, in recounting the honours of the tribe, refers to one Smith who diftinguifhed himfelf and the family againft the Spaniih Armada in 1588, and another,

' At Hogan's coaft in the late Holland war.' :

xii Prefcace.

" The gathering mud have been very large, and all prefent, whether of high or low degree, bore the dif- tinguifhed furname of Smith. According to our poet

1 A name whofe early glories were fo hurl'd About ev'n in the nonage of the world, That other families were hardly known When this had waded far in bright renown.'

Nor were all the tribe there : for we learn that a liberal contribution was taken up for thofe too poor to be prefent. The poet's great card was of courfe

Captain John Smith, ' fometime Governor of Vir- ginia,' and the decorations of the hall feem to have been flags emblazoned with the three Turk's heads,

' Purchafed by Smith of Crudwell's famous deeds.'

" If all the families," adds the writer, "brought with them their genealogical trees, the fcene might have reminded one of Burnham Wood."

The little volume now fubmitted to the public con-

tains a claffified catalogue of the armorial bearings of fome 250 families of this furname, the majority of which are derived from the two curious manufcripts numbered refpectively 578 and 3526 in the Harleian Collection at the Britifh Mufeum. Preface. xiii

The firft-named MS. is a volume in fmall 4to. en- titled " A Booke of ye Armes of moft Houfes of ye Smithes in England and Germanie;" it contains 94 handfomely painted efcutcheons, over each of which is written the name and generally the relidence or oc- cupation of the bearer. The other collection, which is far more extenfive and complete, is contained in the firft few folios of a volume containing mifcel- laneous matters, principally heraldic, which appears from a memorandum at the commencement to have formerly belonged to one Mr. Komby, of Alderfgate.

The Arms here are alfo in colours, and the Crefts are added to moft of them. There are in all 125 Shields of Arms, fome few of which are in trick, and appear to have been added fubfequently. The fource from which thefe two collections were derived does not appear, but it is evident that either

No. 578 is an unfinished copy of No. 3526, or both have been copied from the fame original.

I have not been able to afcertain who compiled thefe

Collections, but it appears from the late Sir Henry

Ellis's Preface to Richard Smyth's " Obituary," printed for the Camden Society in 1848, that that worthy formed a fimilar collection, which is defcribed xiv Preface.

as " A Collection of Arms belonging to the name of Smith, in Colours — xMS. in octo.," and a foot note adds that fuch a collection in two fmall volumes 8vo. is in the Library of the , but whether the fame is not clear. They were in 1 691 the property of George Ince, and afterwards in the Collection of John Warburton, Somerfet Herald. 1

I have not been able to compare the Harleian Col- lection with the volumes here referred to, but as the Arms of the Obituarift (Per fable and , three anvils counterchanged) do not occur in the former, it is to be prefumed that he had no hand in its formation. The whole of the arms contained in the MS. No. 3526 are faithfully copied in the annexed illuf- trations. The remaining coats inferted in the lift have been extracted from Edmondfon, Berry, Burke, Pap- worth, and other heraldic authorities as well in print as manufcript, and with thefe additions it is believed

1 In a Catalogue of Heraldic MSS. iffued by Thomas Rodd in 1842, there alfo occurs a volume in 8vo. lettered " Smith's

Coats," which it is ftated contained pedigrees and arms from 1580 to 1639. Whether, however, thefe pedigrees and arms were thofe of families of the furname of Smith, or whether their compiler was a perfon of that name, does not appear. Prefcretace. xv

the work will be found to contain a far more complete Heraldry of the name of Smith than has been hitherto made public.

It was not until the greater portion of the work was in type that I was made aware of the exiftence of a further collection of Smith Arms contained in a folio manufcript belonging to Evelyn Philip Shirley, Efq., of Lower Eatington Park, who courteoufly placed the fame at my fervice. This manufcript con- tains a large collection of atchievements, principally of the Englifh nobility, anno 1664 ; but a confiderable portion of it is devoted to a regiftry of different arms borne by families of the fame name, the Smiths of courfe being the moft confpicuous in point of number. Thefe coats for the moft part correfpond with thofe contained in the two Harleian manufcripts ; but, being in trick, the tindlures of the feveral fields and charges are all diftindtly indicated, whereas the or, in the Har- leian collections, is, in feveral cafes, indiftinguilhable from argent. Mr. Shirley's manufcript has therefore enabled me to correct feveral errors which from this caufe I had inadvertently committed. Thefe correc- tions I have been obliged to infert in two pages of

Corrigenda et Addenda, where alfo will be found fuch " :

additional coats as could not be inferted in their proper places in the text.

In Burke's " General Armory," the laft publifhed and moil: complete of the Heraldic Dictionaries, there are 238 entries under the names of Smijth, Smith, Smyth, and Smythe, but feveral of the coats are en- tered twice over.

I have here abolimed all diflindlions of fpelling the name, believing that, however difguifed, whether fmoothed into Smythe or, as Mr. Lower has it, fmidged into Smijth, it is manifeftly the fame name. For, afks

Verftegan :

But from the Smith that forgeth at the fire ?

There is one coat, attributed by Burke and Berry to Smith of Worcejlerfhire, that I have omitted, for the fimple reafon that it is not a Smith bearing

In reality, however, it is the bearing of the family of Kit/on, of Hengrave, Suffolk, and occurs in Hampton Lovett

Church as an of Pakington. Nam, in his firfb volume, page 538, defcribes it from the

Habingdon MSS., and fuppofes it to have been in- tended for Dorothy, wife of Sir John Pakington and daughter of Humphrey Smith, filkman to Queen

Elizabeth, but it is clearly the bearing of Dorothy, wife of Sir Thomas Pakington, and fecond daughter of Sir Thomas Kitfon of Hengrave, by Margaret his wife, daughter and heirefs of John Donnington, Efq. 1

In forming the following collection, I have confi-

Sub Hampton Lovett (vol. i. p. 538), Nafh gives a more correct of the arms. The unifier ogrefs on the chief was charged with an anchor or ; and there were two quarterings, viz. Donnington and Argent, a chevron between three mullets (for Danby fee Donnington Pedigree in the Harl. MS. 1487, fo. 166,) which clearly identify it as the coat of Kitfon. It appears that Thomas Kitfon of Hengrave received from Dethick, on the 13th of February, 1568, a grant of a more fimple coat, viz. Gules, three lucies haurient argent, a chief or, being an alteration from the coat borne by his anceftors, which, faith the patent, was " confufed and greatly needed correction" (vide " Gwillim," ed. 1724, p. 241)- xviii Preface.

dered it the better plan to arrange as many of the coats as I could as primitives, adding others as varia- tions of an original. Poffibly I may not be always correct in my views, but it certainly appears to me that fuch an arrangement will tend to facilitate in- quiries into the particular genealogy of any one of thefe families, it being a well-known practice of the early heralds to vary the Arms of collaterals; a practice, moreover, which was in vogue among Armigeri them- felves before the of Heralds was eftab- limed, and when, as an old writer has it, every man might " take vnto himfelfe a marke."

I have endeavoured, but often unfuccefsfully, to identify the particular families to whom the feveral bearings appertain, and, when I have been able to pro- cure it, I have added the date of the grant and the name of the grantee. My failure, however, in fo many inftances is fcarcely to be wondered at when it is confidered how extremely common the furname of

Smith is. But whatever may be my fhortcomings, I truft I may be at leaft accredited with the attempt to compile a fort of Libro a"oro of this prolific fept, and if

I have failed, why,

"Et voluifle fat eft." Preface. xix

May I add, in anfwer to thofe of my critics who may take exception to the words "and Germany" on my title-page, and unkindly haul me over the coals for my fins of omiffion, that I plead guilty to the of not having confulted a German Wappenbuch. I have fimply retained the title which, on the flrength of the infertion of eight Schmidt coats, was adopted by the compiler of the Collection from which I have derived moft of my materials.

Note. —In defcribing the feveral coats the Harl. MS. No. 578 has been followed fo far as it was available ; where, therefore, the descrip- tions of the arms, or the names of their bearers, given in the text, differ from the illuftrations, it muft be concluded that there is a cor- refponding difference between the two MSS.

The creft, fays Betham (Baronetage, n. 306) was changed to the falamander by Sir Thomas Smith, the fecretary, in Queen Mary's reign, alluding to his having efcaped being

burnt. Previous to that circumftance, it was an with a feather in one of rhe claws, fimilar to thofe in the Prince of 's creft.

This may be true, but it appears to me that the fo-called flaming altars in the arms, and the fiery creft, are rather allufive

to the " Smith that forgeth at the fire " of honeft Verftegan.

He afterwards came back to England, and changed his name to Smith. By his wife Millicent, daughter and heirefs of Robert Lainham (by Alice, daughter and heirefs of John Hynde, in 1392 and 1405) he had feveral fons, of whom Hugh, the fecond, was father of Sir John Smith of Creffing Temple, EfTex, Baron of the Ex- chequer, temp. Henry VIII., who, by his marriage with Agnes, daughter and co-heirefs of John Harewell, acquired the manor of Wootton Wawen in Warwickfhire. From him derived the extindt Vifcounts and Barons Carrington of Wootton Wawen, and from the fame ftock claim alfo to defcend the extant Lords

This coat was confirmed by Flower, Norroy, on the 7th of July, 1579, to Thomas Smith, fon and heir of Sir Laurence Smith of Hough. This family, who were alfo feated at Hatherton in Chefhire, obtained a baronetcy in 1660, which became extin£t in 1706.

It does not appear how the Smiths of Hough acquired the right to thefe quarterings, the whole of which, except the

8th (for which fee No. 4), muft have been brought in by fome match with an heirefs of Prefland. William Bulkeley of Bulkeley, co. Chefter (living 1302), had iflue by his fecond wife a fon Richard, who aflumed the name of Prefland. His defcendant, William Prefland, married Alice, daughter and

heirefs of Urian de St. Pierre, whofe anceftor of the fame name had married Idonea, daughter and co-heirefs of David Malpas alias Le Clerk (fee Boftock's " Chefhire Collections,"

Stafford, who claim defcent from this family, bear the arms, according to Burke, with the field gules, and for creft, an oftrich, in the beak a horfe-fhoe proper. Burke, in his Commoners and Landed Gentry, deduces

this family from one of the fon s of William Smith, the founder of Brazenofe College, a Roman Catholic prelate, who was never married !

Thefe arms and creft, with a mullet for difference, were borne by Robert Smith, citizen and draper of London (grand- fon of Robert Smith of London and Stoke Prior), at the Vifi- tation of the in 1633-4. He was fubfequently created a baronet, as noted above, and his defcendants made an alteration in their arms and creft. The fame arms alfo occur on the monument in Weft Ham Church of Sir James Smith, anceftor of the Isfield baronets. Edward Smith, Efq., of Stoke Prior, who married, in 1585, a co-heirefs of the Dentons of Ambrofeden, Oxfordfhire, alfo bears thefe arms and creft in Harl. MSS. 1566 and 1533. He refided at Stoke Court, in Stoke Prior parifh, and was pro- bably a relative of Robert.

Smith of Worcejierjliire. The fame arms with the ifTuant lion gules. Creft, a demi-oftrich argent, wings expanded gules, in the beak a horfefhoe or. (Her. Die.)

Thefe bearings appear on the monumental brafs in Stoke Prior Church, Worcefterfhire, of Robert Smith, Efquire, " fometime citizen and draper of London, who died 23rd of March, 1609-10, having had iffue eleven fonsand fix daughters.

Bifhop Smith was born at Peel Houfe, in the townfhip of Widnefs and chapelry of Farnworth, in the parifh of Prefcot, co. Lancafter, about the year 1460. In 1492 he was made Bifhop of Lichfield and Coventry, and, on the 18th of May, 1495, he was tranflated to the fee of Lincoln. About the year 1509, in conjunction with Sir Richard Sutton, of Sutton, near Macclesfield, he founded a College in the Univerfity of Oxford, " commonly called the King's Haule and Colledge of Brazen Nofe. He alfo held the important office of Lord Prefident of the Marches of Wales, from the 17th of Henry VII to the 4th 3

of Henry VIII. He made his will on 26th Dec. 1512, ap- pointing William Smith archdeacon of Lincoln, Gilbert Smith archdeacon of Northampton, Thomas Smith of Chefter, mer- chant, and others, his executors. He died at his palace at Buckden on the 2nd of January, 1513, and was buried in the nave of Lincoln Cathedral, near the great weftern door. Among his other benefactions were a chapel in Farnworth Church, and a grammar fchool at the fame place.

as thofe of the Bifhop of Lincoln (a chevron between three rofes),

and underneath is written, " The coat and creft fubfcribed by

Clarencieux Cooke." Mr. Churton ftates (p. 6, note) that John Smith of Urford, in Lincolnfhire, fecond fon of Robert Smith, of Horfington, in the fame county, at the Vifitation of 1634, ftated himfelf great nephew of the Bifhop of Lincoln, his

father Robert being " fon of ... . Smith in the North, about fix fcore years ago 100 years old," and he entered his arms the fame as the Bifhop's, but they were " refpited for proof."

Creft, a talbot or, charged with a martlet.

In the entry of the pedigree by Thomas Smith of Oxford (who died 1601), at the Oxfordfhire Vifitation by Lee in 1574, the arms are given with a chevron, to which is this note,—" This armes was chaunged by Mafter Clarencieux, and he now beareth

A. a fece dauncey between 3 rofes G. ; but thys ys the right Cotte of Smythe Byfhope of Lyncolne, provyd by all parts of the College of Brafnofe in Oxford, which he founded in 15 13."

(Churton, p. 470.) The arms upon his tomb in St. Tole's Church, Oxford, re-

. . corded in Pefhal, are ... a bend indented . Creft, a boar's head. . The infcription fets forth his relationfhip to Bifhop Smith, but differs from the Vifitation pedigree. We learn from Churton's " Life of the Bifhop of Lincoln " that that prelate fealed with a W. (the initial of his Chriftian name) between three rofes. May 5;

Ellis in his recently publifhed "Antiquities of Heraldry" (p. 206), who argues that the dancette was orginally a fufilly feffe, and derived from the coat of Percy. 6

received from Dethick on the 16th of May, 1565, a further grant of a creft, as follows : An arm couped, the fleeve per pale, or, and gules, holding in the hand a 's head, erafed, azure, beaked or langued, eyed, and eared gules. The recipient of this creft, who died in 1603, married Frances, daughter of Sir Thomas Griffin, of Dingley, in Northamptonftiire, and the griffin's head feems to have been granted to him in allufion to this alliance, by which, however, he had daughters only. The ufual creft of the other branches of this family was a goat's head iffuing from a coronet as above. This is varioufly defcribed as " out of a ducal coronet a goat's head," when ap- pearing on the monument of Erafmus Smith at Hufband's Bofworth, 1616; as " an antelope's head couped argent, corned or," on the monument of the "grave and religious" Sir Roger " Smith at Edmondthorpe ; and as out of a ducal coronet a goat's head argent," on a hatchment at Frolefworth. (See Top. & Gen. ut fupra.)

A baronetcy was conferred in 1 660-1 on Edmund Smith, alias Heriz, of Edmondthorpe, which became extin£t in 1720-r. They quartered for Heriz, Azure, a fefle between three urchins argent. (Top. & Gen. 3,256, Nichols' " Leicefterfhire," &c.) The Rev. Forbes Smith, re£lor of Afton Botterell, co.

Leicefter, having been duly regiftered in the Office of Arms, Dublin. The family of Smith, alias Heriz, were alfo of Weald Hall, Eflex. James Lord Strange (eldeft fon of Edward, the eleventh ) married in 1747 Lucy, fecond daughter and co-heirefs of Hugh Smith, of that place, and afTumed in con-

fequence the additional furname of Smith ; but after the death 24 A Colle&ion of Arms

of Edward, twelfth Earl of Derby, in 1831, the name of Smith appears to have been dropped by the Stanleys. The elder daughter and co-heirefs of Hugh Smith was married to John Barry, fourth fon of James, fourth Earl of Barrymore. Mr. Smith, who died in 1745, by his will bound his daughters' hulbands and their children to take the name of Smith, and to bear the arms of Smith and Heriz. Mr. Barry therefore affumed that name in addition to and before his own,

and from him defcend the Smith-Barrys of Foata I Hand, co. Cork, and of Marbury Hall, Chefhire. The fame arms were alfo borne by Smith of Walcot, co. Lin-

coln, by the Rev. Samuel Smith, D.D., Dean of Chriftchurch,

the College of Arms the coat of Sir Thomas is given with

three pellets on the feffe, each pellet charged with a fleur-de-lis

or, and in another the feffe is charged with three fleur-de-lis gules. This laft-named variation Burke attributes to Smith of Campden, co. Gloucefter, and of Warwickfhire. It is alfo afcribed to Smith of Campden in the Harl. MS. 6060, which relates to Warwickfhire. of the Name of Smith. 27

Burke attributes thefe bearings to " Smith of Gloucefter, 1614," and with croffes inftead of faltires to Smith of Gloucef- terfhire. The celebrated Henry, alias "Dog" Smith, the Surrey benefactor, was defcended from the Smiths of Campden, and

bore for arms, Sable, on a feffe between three faltires or, a fleur-

de-lis of the field. His will is fealed however with a feffe be-

tween three fleur-de-lis. Mr. Gwilt, the architect, one of his defcendants, obtained a founded upon thofe here

1 The grant was made in 1826 to Meffrs. George and Jofeph

Gwilt, and is thus blazoned : Argent, a lion rampant fable, on a chief dancette of the laft three faltires couped or. Creft, a dexter cubit arm couped proper, holding a faltire as in the arms, furmounted by a fleur-de-lis fable. The lion rampant was derived from the ancient Welfh coat of Idio Wylht, and the faltires from the arms of Smith. In 1828 Mr. Jofeph Gwilt, architect, received for himfelf and

defcendants the grant of a fecond creft : upon a wreath argent and

fable, on a faltire or, interlaced by two amphifbonae azure, langued

gules, a rofe of the laft barbed and feeded proper. The amphifbona; were taken from the ancient creft ufed by Thomas Smith of Campden in 1544. Mr. Gwilt alfo adopted the old motto of Smith, " Chafcun fa parte" Henry Smith was a great-nephew of Thomas of Campden, his grandfather Henry was a fixth fon of Thomas Smith of Gloucef-

terfhire, who bore Sable, a feffe between three faltires or. The 28 A Collection of Arms

Long Afhton, who firfl: obtained a baronetcy in 1661. They were re-granted to Sir Jarret Smith, who married the heirefs of

the Smiths of Long Afhton, but who is not ftated to have been a relative, on 7th April 1767.

It is faid that Smith farmed the Cuftoms, at firft, for £12,000 a-year, and that they were then raifed, time after time, until he paid £55,000 a year; and, £60,000 being afterwards de- manded, he relinquifhed the contract. He gave his eldeft fon Thomas (who was made a of the Bath by King James) £8000 a year; and upon each of his other fons he beftowed not lefs in eftates than £6000 a year.

It is faid, in the Harl. MSS., that he had fix fons, who were lheriffs of fix different counties (fee Gregfon's " Lancafhire,"

The arms of Smith of Corfham were, Azure, an efcutcheon argent, within fix lions rampant or, and were allowed to the younger branches at the " Vifitation of Wilts " in 1623, upon the production of an ancient feal then two hundred years old.

Mr. Lower (" Curiofities of Heraldry," p. 177) has fome fevere but juft remarks on the deteftable tafte in which fome of the grants to the heroes, who diftinguifhed themfelves in the Peninfular and other wars, are conceived. " Left," he fays,

" I fhould be thought unufually fevere upon the armorifts of

the paft age, I annex the arms of Sir Sidney Smith, a veteran

who certainly deferved better things of his country. I fhall not attempt to blazon them, as I am fure my readers would not thank me for occupying a page and a half of a chapter with what would in this cafe be jargon indeed." Sir Sidney Smith was unable to trace his pedigree further back than to his great grandfather, Capt. Cornelius Smith, who

was born at Hythe in 16b 1, and whofe monumental infcription, in the church of New Shoreham, in Suffex, ftates that he died on the 26th of October, 1727, aged 66. The bearings granted to him, however, were founded upon thofe allowed to Cuftomer Smith in 1588, from the idea that he was defcended from that perfon, though the pedigree could not be deduced (fee "Gent.

• Mag." 1830, pp. 437-8). The coat Azure, an efcutcheon argent, within fix lions ram-

pant or, referred to above, is attributed in MSS. 578 and 3526

to Philip Smith of London, with this creft : a pegafus azure, wings gules, maned, ducally gorged and lined or (PI. xvu. fig.

of the Name of Smith. 47

was defcended from the Smiths of Cuerdley, co. Lancafter. His arms were " Vert, on a chevron between three mallets or, an eagle difplayed B. Uppon his Helme on a Torce or and vert a roote of a tree leauelefs, thereon a fefant cock proper." (Harl. MS. noo, printed in the Appendix to Churton's "Life of Bifhop Smith.")

The Smiths of Cuerdley are furely the moft prolific of all indeed, fo well have they obferved the injunction impofed upon

our firft parents "to increafe and multiply," that from them have branched off feveral different families, each adopting a

diftiniSf. coat of arms. Their original coat was, I think, fix

fleur-de-lis (No. 4), which has feveral variations. The Bifhop

of Lincoln bore rofes (No. 5), which many of his line adopted in feveral varieties. The Smiths of Hough and Hatherton, who defcend from Thomas Smith of Chefter, a near relative and one of the execu- tors of Bifhop Smith, bore wavy bars and an iffuant lion in chief, and from them derived the feveral families enumerated

under No. 3, and here we find Abraham Smith adopting a canting coat differing in toto from any bearing of his family.

Sir Thomas Smith of Hatherton, father of the firft baronet

of that line, is ftated to have had twenty-two children. Robert

Smith, citizen of London, had eleven fons and fix daughters, all of whom are reprefented upon his monumental brafs in Stoke Prior Church, Worcefterfhire. Old " Juftice" John Smith, of St. Giles's Cripplegate, who " fined for Alderman," entered his pedigree in the Middlefex Vifitation of 1663, defcribing himfelf as tenth fon of John Smith, of " Stoke Priory," and he himfelf married two wives and was father of ten children. No

oftrich, in the beak a horfefhoe argent (pi.

xxi. fig. 1). K 66 A Colle&ion of Arms

The frequent occurrence of an oftrich and horfe-fhoe as a Smith bearing feems to call for fome few remarks. A cafual obferver, and efpecially one not well up in the myf- teries of Heraldry, might fuppofe that Stephen Schmidt (for that

is, I fuppofe, the correct orthography of his name) was con-

nected in fome way with the families bearing the coats Nos. 3,

4, 12, 60, &c. ; but the fa£t is that this device, common

enough in Englifh Heraldry, is fimply allufive to the name of Smith.

It is, I prefume, fcarcely neceflary to remind the reader of the ferrugiverous propenfities attributed by ancient naturalifts to this animal. "The oftrich," fays an ancient heraldic manu-

fcript, penes me, " is of a very ftubborn digeftion, far beyond all other creatures, either beafts or birds, and hath a part of both

kinds ; and he is always depicted holding fome kinde of Iron-

worke in his beake or bill, but moft commonly with a horfe Jhewr But heraldic horfe-fhoes are ufually made of a more precious material than " ironworke." In a very few inftances do we find the Smith's horfe-fhoe blazoned proper. Perchance their oftrich ftooped to pick up one of thofe coftly {hoes that adorned the feet of Nero's mules, or, to come down to more modern

times, thofe of gold and filver, which it is faid the horfes of that wife fool George Villiers, of Buckingham, were wont to

fow broadcaft on the Parifian highways. There is alfo a tra- ditional ftory, recorded by Greg/on, that a certain reilor of Prefcot in Lancafhire was once hunting with the king, and one

of his horfe's fhoes being caft, it was brought to his majefty,

who was very angry when he found it was made offilver.

However it be, this " ungainly fowl " is found whole or dif- fered on the helms of many of this tribe, fometimes cut in twain, fometimes beheaded—the body being " confpicuous by of the Name of S?nith. 67

" its abfence —and the head either between a pair of wings or two of its own magnificent tail feathers. Sometimes, again, the

head is torn violently from the body and garnifhed with a

coronet, but it feldom or never abandons its, to other animals,

indigeftible food. And if the old ftory be true, not only is it

gluttonous but bibulous, for it is recorded that it once " ftole

the key of the cellar," and with this tell-tale key in its beak it may frequently be found furmounting the anceftral efcutcheons of many ancient families. As a Smith bearing the oftrich and horfe-fhoe are obvioufly

allufive to the name, the latter (fit for a Smith") having been introduced into thefe devices in company with the

only animal (except a horfe !) to which it appropriately belongs, viz. an oftrich.

1 Thefe German coats of Smith are all extracted from the two Harleian Manufcripts. I have not endeavoured to add to their number. A coat of Smith of Hamburgh will be found po/f, No. 106, and as it occurs in the Englifh Heraldic Dictionaries, it is to be prefumed that it is the bearing of an Englifh family. I may here mention that in Berry's "Encyclopaedia," under Stahlfchmidt, is a coat of the Name of Smith. 69 in bafe, fpringing from the dexter and finiffer fides thereof two hammers (untin&ured) (pi. xxii. fig. 4). 60. John Smith, " Gentman, & Captayne of 2 C & 50 Soldiers." Vert, (in No. 578 ar- gent} a chevron gules between three turk's heads proper, turbanned or (pi. xxm. fig. 1). Creft, an oftrich or, in the beak a horfeffioe argent.

The exa£t pedigree of this worthy I have been unable to

recover. It is generally admitted that he was defcended from

the Smiths of Cuerdley, and he is ftated to have been born at Willoughby in Lincolnihire in 1579, and to have been de-

which it is ftated was borne in 1546 by the baronial family of Schmidt, Von Hartenftein of the Palatinate of the Rhine, and in 1826 by John Charles Stahlfchmidt and Henry George Stahlfchmidt of Lambeth, Surrey, their defcendants. The arms are thus defcribed: Argent, on a mount vert, a man proper, vefted fable, flafhed gules, cap, hofe, and trunk hofe of the laft, the latter flafhed of the fourth, holding in the left hand upon an anvil an iron, in the of ftriking it with a hammer in the right, alfo proper ; on a canton of the fifth a crofs humettee of the field. Creft, a demi-warrior couped at the thighs in armour, an open on his head, face affrontee, in his right hand a battle-axe, all proper. Motto, " Deo infpirante, rege favente." 70 A ColleSiion of Arms

fcended by his mother from the Riccards of Great Heck, in the Weft Riding of Yorkshire. 1 From his "True Travels and Adventures" (folio, a.d. 1630), we learn that he was in the fervice of Sigifmund, brother to the Duke of Tranfylvania, and that he received from that perfonage in 1623 "three Turkes' heads in a fhielde for his armes, by patent under his hand and feale, with an oath ever to wear them in his colours, his picture in gould, and three hundred ducats yearly for a penfion." This coat, which was granted, we are told, " in memory of three Turkes, whom with his own fword he overcame, and cut

oft' their heads, in the province of Tranfylvania," was con- firmed to him by the College of Arms, "to be borne quarterly with that defcended to him from his anceftors."

Mr. Churton, in his " Life of Biftiop Smith," p. 5, fays that the captain was born in Chefhire, and refers to Fuller, whofe information was derived from " Arthur Smith, his kinfman and

fchoolfellow ; but whether," fays Mr. Churton, " he was of

the Oldhaugh or Hatherton (Nos. 3 and 4) line is not known." Captain Smith died in London on the 21ft of June, 1631,

and was buried in St. Sepulchre's, in the choir, where is or was a long infcription to his memory in " fine tinkling rhyme and

flowing verfe," fetting forth his great prowefs and many virtues :

The fecond Lord Thurlow afTumed in 18 14 the furname of Hovell in commemoration of this marriage. In the Harl.

" It has been," fays Betham, (Baronetage) " the conftant tradition of this family that they are defcended of the ancient

family of the Smiths of Kelley, in the county of Fife ; and that a younger fon of that houfe fettled in Dundee, in the mercantile way, where his pofterity for feveral generations were re-

fpe£table burgefles. The furname of Smith," he adds, " is of great antiquity in Scotland, and of old was varioufly written,

' ; Smyt, Smyth, and Smith ' and fometimes they have been called Gow, which is Gaelic for Smith. The traditional account

of their origin is, that they are defcended from the Clan

Chattan ; that Neil Croomb, third fon of Murdoch of that clan, who lived in the reign of William the Lion, was pro-

genitor of all the Smiths in Scotland." This has been repeated by Sir Bernard Burke in his lineage

of the Smiths of Methven Caftle (No. 99). Drummond Smith, third fon of John Smith, a merchant in London, and grandfon of James Smith, of Camno, N.B. (Burke) was created a baronet in 1804, with remainder, in default of male iflue, to the male defcendants of Charles Smith, of Suttons' Eflex, by Augufta, his wife, one of the daughters of Jofhua Smith, of Stoke Park, Wilts, M.P., Sir Drummond's elder brother. Sir Charles Smith, who fucceeded as fecond baronet under this limitation, bore different arms, he being of a different

family (See No. 9); but the prefent baronet, his defcendant, bears, according to the Baronetages, the arms of his maternal anceftors as above defcribed. The arms of Smith of Stoke Park

this clan), with the motto " Touch not the cat but (/. e. without) a glove " (in Gaelic, " Na bean d'on chat gun lamhainu.") Other families of the Clan Chattan are the M'IntoJhes and the M'Combies, both of whom bear a fimilar creft, and the fame characteristic motto. A family of Gow (which, as has been already obferved, is

Smith in Gaelic) whofe pedigree is given in Burke's " Landed Gentry," alfo claim to be of the Clan Chattan. Their arms

are : Per fefle, in chief per pale or and azure, the firft quarter charged with a hand holding a dagger ere£t, and the fecond with a catfejant guardant proper; the bafe vert, thereon a fword

At a meeting of the Kilkenny and South of Ireland Archaeo-

logical Society on ioth January, 1855, tne ^- ev - James Graves exhibited the above grant, which he had lately fecured in Dublin

for the Society. It recites that the Earl of Ormonde " is well pleafed that William Smith (of Damagh, in the county of Kilkenny,), mould bear fome parcell of his arms, e for a perpetual e memory of y worthy, faithful, and diligent fervice done by him for the faid Earle." By a contemporary endorfement on the

back it is ftated that " the reafon of the within-atchievement

of the dove holding an olive branch was becaufe it was imparted by the within-named Earl James, to the within-named William Smyth, by way of fecrefie that the happie match in marriage between the faid Earl and his nowe CountefTe was made fure

and done ; and willed the faid William Smyth, who was then

going from the Court of England into Ireland, to tell the faid Earle his mother fo much, and to bid her be of good comfort which joyfull newes the faid William Smyth brought into Ire-

land, and was the firfl: that ever imparted the certaintie thereof unto the faid Earle his mother, the Lady Vifcountefle Dowager

of Thurles, by way of fecrefie ; which was by the faid Earle concealed bycaufe at that time the King and State of England

were againft that match, and therefore was it that the faid Earle ufed thefe words unto the faid William Smyth, when he

fent him away, ' More I could let you know, but he that can- " not keep his own counfel, cannot keep another man's.' This was in allufion to the marriage between James Lord Thurles, afterwards the great Duke of Ormonde, and his coufin Lady Elizabeth Prefton, which reftored to the Ormonde family the eftates alienated from them by James I. who had conferred them upon one of his Scotch favourites, Prefton, in marriage with the lady's mother, the daughter of Thomas the tenth Earl

HERALDRY OF SMITH. *

THE HERALDRY OF SMITH IN SCOTLAND

WITH GENEALOGICAL ANNOTATIONS

BEING A SUPPLEMENT TO GRAZEBROOK'S

"HERALDRY OF SMITH"

LONDON JOHN RUSSELL SMITH

36 SOHO SQUARE 1873 CHISWICK PRESS: —PRINTED BY WHITTINCHAM AND WILKINS, TOOKS COURT, CHANCERY LANE. PREFACE.

RECENT perufal of Mr. Syd-

ney Grazebrook's very tafteful

little volume led me to look over my " Collections " refpect- ing the Smiths north of the

Tweed. Thefe " Collections " are the fruit of twenty years' refearch. I found in them notices of many coats not recorded in Mr. Grazebrook's volume, and a goodly amount of genealogical jottings refpecting the grantees or bearers of the coats in queftion. Having compiled as correct a chronological lift as I could, and fupplemented it with fuch genea- —

Prefcace.

logical particulars as my MSS. furnifhed, I forwarded it to one of the gentlemen of the Lyon Office, whofe extenfive knowledge of heraldry is equalled by the kindnefs and rea- dinefs he manifefts to affift all who are in- terefted in fuch matters. He has revifed the lift with great care, and has, moreover, taken the additional trouble to fearch the whole of the heraldic MSS. preferved in the Lyon Office and in the Advocates' Library to make fure that no Smith coats have efcaped our notice.

I venture to think that after fuch a revi- fion the lift poffefTes fome intereft and value in a heraldic and genealogical point of view, and I fubmit it therefore to the antiquarian public.

A word firft of all as to the fources from which the information has been drawn.

They comprife the following MSS. : Preface. 7

1. The Records of the Lyon Office, embracing both the Lyon Regifter, the vols, of Funeral Efcutcheons, and other MSS.

2. Sir David Lindfay's MS. (dated 1542, but with later ad- ditions).

3. Workman's MS. (dated c. 1567, but has interpolations and additions down to about 1605).

4. A Booke of Scottifh Armes, 1603 (MS. in Advocates' Library).

Sir Forman's Roll c. 5. R. of Arms, 1562, copied by Sir J. Balfour (MS. in Advocate's Library).

6. " Gentlemen's Arms" (MS. of clofe of 17th century).

7. Sir James Balfour's MS. (c. 1640).

8. R. Porteous's MS. (He was Snowdoun Herald, 1661-65).

9. Mr. Thomas Crawford's MS. (He died 1660).

10. Sir Pat. Home's MS. (c. 1680. He was afterwards Earl of Marchmont).

11. W. Hamilton's MS. (W. Hamilton of Wifhaw, died at a very advanced age, in 1724).

1 2. Stacie's MS.

13. Pont's MS. (dated 1624, but has additions down to

17 1 2). 14. E. Martyn's MS. (Herald painter in 1794; offmall value.)

15. Deuchar's MS. (This is a collection formed by the ;

8 Preface.

late A. Deuchar, a feal-engraver in Edinburgh at the clofe of

the laft century. He can fcarcely be called an authority, for

1 he honeftly records that he occafionally "invented ' coats for

his clients.) And

1 6. {fed longo intervallo) my own collections.

Mr. Grazebrook's volume no doubt con-

tains all the coats that have been blazoned in

print.

The following lift contains in all thirty- four coats arranged in three diviftons.

The flrft part contains thofe which are regiftered in the Books of the Lyon Court, and which therefore can alone be legally

borne in Scotland ; twenty-one in number the fecond, four coats borne by afcertained

families or individuals, but not fo regiftered and the third, nine coats attributed to the furname by the various heraldic writers.

F. M. S. ARMS OF THE SMITHS IN SCOTLAND.

Part I.

MITH of Grothill and King's

Cramond. Azure, a faltire couped

between four flames of fire ; a bor- dure argent.

Borne by Sir John Smith of Grothill, Lord Provoft of Edinburgh in 1642 and 1643, and "a perfonage of no fmall confequence in his days" (Wood's Hiftory of the

Pari/h of Cramond, p. 56). The coat does not appear in the Lyon Regifter, but in an old volume of Funeral Ef-

cutcheons in the Office. It is cut in ftone (impaled with io Arms of the Smiths

the coat of Sir W. Gray of Pittendrum, who married

Egidia, Sir John's fitter) over the entrance to Lady Stair's

clofe in the old town of Edinburgh ; but the ftone is now

much worn. Sir John Smith had a numerous family of

children and grandchildren, but was ruined in his latter

years and compelled to fell his eftates. His eldeft fon

was Mr. Robert Smith, of Southfield ; another fon, John, fold Grothill in 1683. In 1693 Alexander Smith, only fon of Matter Robert Smith of Southfield, was retoured heir of Mr. John Smith, advocate, his uncle.

2 . Smyth (now Smy the) of Methven Castle, in Perthshire. Azure, a burning cup be- tween two chefs rooks in fefs, or. Creft, a dolphin haurient proper. Motto, Mediis tranquillus in undis.

Granted 1673 to Patrick Smyth of Braco, who was feventh in defcent from the founder of the family, one Thomas Smyth, who in a charter under the Great

of date 29th January, 1477 (Jac. III.), is termed " ypothecarius regis," and whofe fon acquired the lands of

Braco in the reign of James IV". Patrick, the grantee, ac-

quired the eftate of Methven about the end of the feven- teenth century. A tolerably exact pedigree of the family

will be found in Douglas 's Baronage, and additional par- — 1

in Scotland. 1

ticulars in Anderfon's Scottijh Nation and in the Herald and Genealogiji.

3. William Smith, merchant in Edin- burgh, fon to the deceafed Mr. James Smith, minifter of Ettlefton Kirk. Azure, a book expanded proper between three flames of fire, or ; all within a bordure engrailed ar- gent, charged with mullets and crofs-crofflets

of the firft. Creft, a flame between two twigs of palm, all proper. Motto, Luceo

non uro.

Granted 1675.

The Rev. James Smith, born 16 13, was minifter of

the parifti of Innerleithen, and afterwards of Eddleftone,

both in Peebles-ftiire. He married, in 1643, Euphemia

Somervall (Somerville), of the parifti of Newton, near

Edinburgh, and left the following fons :

1. William, the grantee, who married Jean Todrig, of

the parifti of Newbattle, and left a fon, James, and three

daughters. 2. James. 3. George, afterwards minifter

of Dawick, who married Agnes Smith, of the parifti of

Queries" 3rd S. xii. p. 27.]

4. Master James Smith, overfeer to His Majefty's Wark in Scotland. Azure, three flames of fire, two and one, proper ; on a chief argent a thiftle vert. Creft, Minerva's head, proper. Motto, Non invita.

Granted c. 1689. The chief with thiftle was no doubt added to this coat

to indicate the grantee's official pofition. Mr. James owned feveral portions of land in the parifh

of Inverefk, and latterly purchafed the eftate of White-

hill in that parifh from the Preftons. He married, firft, Janet Mylne, daughter of Robert Mylne of Balfarg,

King's Mafter Mafon, by whom he left, with other

children, two daughters, Ifabella, wife of Gilbert Smith,

and Margaret ; fecondly, Anna Smith, fifter of another Gilbert Smith, mafon burgefs of Edinburgh, by whom he

left two fons, Gilbert and Clematirick.

Another old family of Smith in this Parifh, defcended from John Smyth and Mariota Mackene, his fpoufe (in

whofe favour there is an inftrument of fafine dated 1563),

ftill flourifhes. —

in Scotland.

5. Mr. John Smyth. Argent, a St. An- drew's crofs betwixt three crefcents in chief and fefs, and a dolphin haurient in bafe, azure. Creft, a fword and pen difpofed faltireways, all proper. Motto, Marte et ingenio.

I have never been able to trace this Mr. John Smyth.

garbs in fefs of the fecond, banded or. Creft, a pen and ear of wheat faltireways.

The crefcents in the coat were afterwards taken away

and a new creft and motto granted, viz. : Creft. A crefcent. Motto. Cum •plena magis. The Smyths of Giblifton, in Fifefhire, were defcended from George Smyth, burgefs of Anftruther, who died

alfo Burgh Clerk, and who was feized in the Temple-

lands of Dirleton in 1644. James, another fon, alfo held the Clerkfhip, but both he and the grantee appear to

have died without male ifTue, as Lillias, daughter of James, was ferved heir-portioner-general of the Temple-

lands of Dirleton c. 1700.

8. James Smith of Athernie, , furgeon in Perth, fon of Mr. William Smith, who was youngeft brother of Patrick Smith in Scotland. 15 of Braco, afterwards of Methven.

pal incumbent of Moneydie, in Perthshire, and married one of the daughters and co-heirefles of James Aitkin, Bifhop of Galloway. Douglas, in his Baronage, confufes

this prelate with Arthur (Rofe), who held the See of Gal- loway for a month before his promotion to the Arch-

bifhopric of Glafgow. This may, however, be a printer's

error. Douglas has also omitted to ftate that William

Smith was twice married ; for in the General Regifter

of Deeds at Edinburgh, under date nth April, 1716, is recorded an " affignation and difpofition by Mr. William Smith, late minifter at Moneydie, to Janet, his youngeft daughter, with confent of Mary Erfkine, his fpoufe."

In 1746 he was ferved heir of his grandfather, Alex- ander Smith, merchant and Dean of Guild of Linlith- gow, and of Barbara Neilfon, his grandmother. (Indices of Heirs.) A MS. Drummond pedigree ftates that he was a fon of Alexander Smith, a Surgeon, and Margaret Jamiefon,
