Genealogy and Historical Notes of Spamer and Smith Families of Maryland Appendix 2.

Spamer 2008 / 2011 Selected Strongly Cross-connected Collateral Genealogies of the Smith Family Note The “New Edition” includes hyperlinks embedded in boxes throughout the main genealogy. They will, when clicked in the computer’s web-browser environment, automatically redirect the user to the pertinent additions, emendations and corrections that are compiled in the separate “Additions and Corrections” section. Boxed alerts look like this: Also see Additions & Corrections [In the event that the PDF hyperlink has become inoperative or misdirects, refer to the appropriate page number as listed in the Additions and Corrections section.] The “Additions and Corrections” document is appended to the end of the main text herein and is separately paginated using Roman numerals. With a web browser on the user’s computer the hyperlinks are “live”; the user may switch back and forth between the main text and pertinent additions, corrections, or emendations. Each part of the genealogy (Parts I and II, and Appendices 1 and 2) has its own “Additions and Corrections” section. The main text of the New Edition is exactly identical to the original edition of 2008; content and pagination are not changed. The difference is the presence of the boxed “Additions and Corrections” alerts, which are superimposed on the page and do not affect text layout or pagination. The reason why the text itself was not updated is because the Comprehensive Index, more than 300 pages, is keyed to the original edition. The alert notices will print if you print from the main genealogy, which you may then use with a printed copy of the “Additions and Corrections”. The CD (or DVD) containing digital copies of this genealogy also includes documents that were not originally available when the genealogy was prepared in 2008. See the Disk Content Guide. _________________________________________________________________________________ Special Note Regarding Pagination: The boxed “Also see Additions & Corrections” alerts are placed where they are needed in the main text. Upon reading the “Additions and Corrections”, however, the page number indicated for the emendation may (very infrequently) be off by one page as compared to where the boxed alert is placed. For example, a text comment in the “Additions & Corrections” may refer to page 58, but the corresponding alert box, in its proper place in the text, may be on page 59. The cause of these minor offsets, when they do occur, is due to the fact that different versions of one word processing programs were used to create some of the new additions and corrections. These different versions occasionally altered page breaks and footnote placements that affected the page layout. The effect is not cumulative through the document; occurrences of offset page notations are very infrequent. In similar fashion, the “Comprehensive Index” that was created from the original edition of 2008, for use principally with the printed versions of this document, likewise may experience infrequent one- page offsets between page numbers cited and actual page numbers.

The main purpose of including these collateral families is to document the distant genealogical connections and to provide interesting historical notes about them. Except for personal comments, one should consider that the information I present here may be superseded by more recent, and more reliable, work about which I am not familiar.This is an informational guide only, not a work of authoritative genealogy on my part. I hope that by examining the historical aspects of our extended family it invokes a greater sense of appreciation for the history of our nation and how our far-flung relations participated in civic affairs from the local scene to the national stage. These collateral genealogies also document just how closely intertwined these many families were, during the period especially of the 18th and 19th centuries. It is impractical to list these collateral genealogies in Part II (Smith Family) because some lineages relate to several different family groups; and there is little use in repeating the collateral lineages in several places. In addition, many of the collateral genealogies in this Appendix are cross-connected even between themselves. By coincidence only, all of these collateral genealogies figure into the Smith family genealogy, not the Spamer family. Many of the collateral genealogies here embrace families with significant historical connections, particularly in the political affairs of Maryland and Pennsylvania, but extending also into the affairs of the young Republic. The information in these collateral genealogies is offered for its historical interest more so than for its genealogical significance, recognizing that it pertains mostly to very distant relations. In the few cases where families are historically very significant, there exists a profound body of biographical information that is mostly ignored here. Rather, the reader can turn to any number of historical, biographical, and genealogical treatments for much more information. That, of course, will entail work in libraries, perhaps with the assistance of the librarians there. Collateral genealogies in this Appendix are, by necessity, not comprehensive genealogies of these families; not even for the generations that are represented here. They are by no means meant to compete against authentic biographical sketches and proper genealogies; they are provided here in limited context for their informational value as it relates to our family and its extended heritage. This appendix is a tool, not gospel. Most of the lineages focus on the 18th and 19th centuries, leading approximately to the time of the marriage that connects it to the Smith Appendix 2 – 5 Selected Strongly Cross-connected Collateral Genealogies of the Smith Family family genealogy, or to one or more marriages that connect it to one of the other collateral genealogies. The collateral genealogies here are arranged alphabetically by surname. Individuals who connect to the main Smith family genealogy, or to one of the other collateral genealogies, are highlighted. Care should be taken to be aware of which collateral genealogy is being examined at any given time. The enumeration scheme of descendants is unique within each separate collateral genealogy. Because of numerous family intermarriages, many individuals appear in more than one collateral genealogy, and in each case their associated descendant number is different. The genealogies follow the same ancestor-to-descendant order of the Spamer–Smith family genealogy; see the Introduction to the overall genealogy for explanations. Each collateral genealogy begins with the earliest ancestor thus far collated for the genealogical database in use. Some of them conclude with the generation of the person who connects the collateral lineage to the Smith genealogy. Some families are nevertheless overlooked, and they do not appear as collateral genealogies anywhere in this compilation. Although such families may be frequently married into—for example, Goldsborough—common ancestors are not identified nor are there significant numbers of generations recorded here for their descendants. Although I have collected genealogical data for more individuals than those shown here— that is, even more distantly removed relations—I think they are too far beyond the scope even of these collateral genealogies to include them here. The database from which these reports have been compiled contains the extended data. One may consider why this Appendix is important to the Spamer–Smith family genealogy overall. As indicated the Introduction, this is an informational document, one prepared first for the use of the family. The principal parts of the genealogy are the most useful portions for the family and genealogical researchers alike. The collateral genealogies are included more for the information of the family; they help place the main branches in historical perspective. Thus they
