501 B -500-E- Samuel Smith Sr., third son of Thomas Smith Sr., born about 1684, was left by his father the lands at Keyworth. We do not know whether or not this estate was located in Hertforshire, but are of the opinion that it was or that his wife's people lived in Hereford County, as there is a tradition that his son, John Smith, the Emigrant to America, was born in Hertford County. He sold his lands and moved to London and was there a merchant (Goldsmith). He was afterwards known as Samuel Smith, of Gaddesby, Leices- ter County He probably came into possession of this estate after the death of his brother, Thomas Smith Jr., with whom he had business dealings and to whom he was indebted in the sum of 4,000 pounds at his death in 1 727. He first started to loaning money in London in partnership with his brother,
Thomas Smith Jr., who ran the Nottingham end of it. After the death of Thomas Smith Jr. in 1727, this end in London was taken over by the younger brother, Abel Smith Sr. , and from this came Smith and Payne, and then Smith, Payne, and Smith, now one of the large Banks of London. Samuel Smith Sr. died intestate in London in 1751, and when his estate was wound up, it was found then to be practically all personal property, and when divided among his six surviving children, each received as much as 40,000 pounds, so says Harry Tucker Easton in his book, "The History of A Banking House (Smith, Payne, and Smiths). We suspect that an error was made and it should have been 4,000 pounds, as six times that or 24,000 pounds or $120,000.00, was a large fortune in that day. Gen. Smith, who knows more than we of English
traditions, thinks 40,000 pounds is correct. Samuel Smith Sr. married Elizabeth Cartlitch, the daughter of John Cartlitch. Of the children born to Samuel Smith Sr. and Elizabeth Cartlitch we only know of the following:

(A) John Smith No. 4, born 1716, died 1717.
(B) Anne Smith, born 1718.
(C) John Smith No. 5, born 1719, who perhaps ran away from home, came to America about 1735, and to whom we shall hereafter refer as John Smith, No. 1 , the Emigrant to America. -502-
(D) Thomas Smith No. 3, of Nottingham and Keyworth, born 1720, died 1765, married Dorothy Lister.
(E) Samuel Smith Jr., born 1722, died 1789, married Elizabeth Watson.

There were evidently more children, as six shared in the division of the estate in 1751; One of the above five had died in infancy. We have some doubt as to whether or not John Smith No. 5, the Emigrant to America, had kept in
correspondence with his parents, and we suspect that the estate was settled up without his ever sharing in it. The only reason for this presumption is that English historians do not seem to know anything of him after his birth in 1719. We shall give more of the history of book.

(901) To those who wish more data, you can find considerable in Burke's Landed Gentry under the titles as follows: "Smith of Woodhall Park, Smith of Goldings, Smith of Bramcote, Smith of Duffield, Smith of Wilford House, Smith of Shottesbroke Park, Smith of Midhurst, Smith of Mount Clare and Dorrien-Smith of Tresco Abbey." Also in Burke's
1921 Edition of Peerage and Baronetage, page 1378 "The Marquis of Linconshire," Sir Charles Carrington, whose ancestor Robert Smith took the name of Carrington on being elevated to peerage; page 2297, Sir Maurice Bromley-Wilson, whose ancestor took the name of Bromley upon being elevated to peerage and subsequently it was changed to Bromley-Wilson ; also page 2049, Earl Stanhope, whose ancestor the 4th Lord Stanhope married Catherine Smith.

These books can be found in nearly all of the larger libraries in large cities. Burke's Tables do not profess to be complete, or more than a skeleton sufficient to connect the now living with the early ancestors and give their branches. It is inaccurate in that it gives Thomas Smith Sr. as the son of John Smith and Frances Wilcocke, when in fact he was the son of John Smith by Elizabeth Garton, the first wife. He only mentions three children of Samuel Smith Sr. when in fact he had as many as seven. A more complete and correct Genealogical Table can be found in "The Smith Family" by Compton Reade, with some other information.

"History of A Banking House (Smith, Payne, and Smiths)"
byHarry Tucker Easton, published in 1903, also gives us some interesting information. The data in these books was taken largely from a book entitled "Stemmata Smithiana Ferraria", compiled by John Augustus Smith in 1865. These words translated mean: "A True, Faithful History of the
Smith Family," He was a great grandson of Samuel Smith Sr. and Elizabeth Cartlitch. We will refer to him in the historical part of
the book. (901)
