Thomas Waring, another signer, was first cousin and brother-in- law of Benjamin Smith, having married a sister of his wife. He was a naval officer at Charleston, and was a famous hunter.
A navy board was established in 1778 with power to fill vacancies in the navy and marine corps of the State. Among the commis- sioners were Roger Smith, Josiah Smith, and George Smith, all members of the family.
THE SMITHS OF EXETER, ENGLAND.
The history of Exeter, England, shows members of the Smith family almost continuously-father, son, grandson, and great- grandson-in various corporation offices.
Of the earlier Smiths very little is known and much is conjec- tural. At the time when the city of Chard returned a member to Parliament it was represented by one of the Smiths, and, seeing that from the earliest records we find the family prominent in the district, it may fairly be supposed that the Chard Smiths were ancestors. The last members of Parliament for Chard were John Le Smythe and Richard Le Duke, 1324-8. The first member of the family we can place definitely is Sir Robert Smith, Knighted by Edward IV, Mayor of Exeter 1459-69, and Bailiff in 1453- 1456-1458.

VIRGINIA FAMILIES
In Izaack's "History of Exeter" we find this incident recorded :
The King (Edward IV) was pleased to visit this city and was well entertained by the Mayor, to whom the King at his departure hence gave a sword, commanding that it should always be carried before the Mayor, and his successors. The keys and mace he re-delivered to the Mayor to be used as previously. The queen and the prince were likewise here.
At this period, for more than a century, the members of the family were all engaged in the wool trade, the majority of them being serge makers. They were scattered about in the surrounding towns of Devon and Somerset Counties: Exeter, Crediton, Taun- ton, Chard, Ilminster, Ilchester, and many other places. By virtue of a kind of clanship in the family they united in designating as Chief or Headman, Sir George Smith, of "Madworthy," who had the genius for accretion in accumulation of wealth.
There is no documentary proof that the knighthood of Sir Robert Smith, conferred by Edward IV, extended to his successors in the office of Mayor, as does the Mayor of London. Dublin, and other cities, but they were all called "Sir," as was Sir George Smith, from the time he occupied the office of Mayor.
From the best data found, we can say that Robert Smith, Mayor of Exeter, 1459 to 1469, was the grandfather of Robert, Bailiff of Exeter, 1522, who was the father of William Smith, Mayor of Exeter in 1553. Robert had other children, Richard and John, of Holditch, County Dorset, formerly County Devon. John died in 1560. He married twice: first, Christian : second, married Alice. This Alice was the daughter of Alexander Muttleberrie. of "Jordans," County Somerset, and Katherine Bevin. John Smith and Alice Muttleberrie, his wife, had issue :
I. John Smith, of Smith Harpe, in "Yarcomb," County Devon, Mayor of Exeter in 1567. His will was proved November, 1606.
II. Robert Smith, of "Crediton," Devonshire. Will proved at Exeter, May, 1590. Had children : Grace, Aaron, of "Credition." Died 1631. Married Agnes -.
III. Nicholas Smith, of Holditch, died 1596-7. Had issue : George Smith, of Holditch, buried March 4, 1591-2. Married Aug. 18, 1579. (She died and was buried July 1, 1584.) Married, second (July 15, 1585), Margaret, by whom he had issue: Benjamin Smith, of "Otter- ford."

IV. Thomas Smith, of South Chard. Married Alice Atkins, and was ancestor of the Burrage Smiths. He died 1609.
V. Sir George Smith, of Madworthy, or Mt. Radford, d. 1619. Married, first, Joan, daughter James Walker, of Exeter, by whom he had issue:
I. Sir George Smith, knighted June 12, 1604.
II. Elizabeth Smith. Married Sir Thomas Monk, and was mother of George (Monk), Duke of Albemarle.
III. Sir Nicholas Smith, of "Larkbeare," buried Nov. 10, 1622. Married Dorothy, daughter of Sir Ralph Horsey. After Sir Nicholas Smith's death she married, second, Sir George Parry. She was buried, Exeter, June 17, 1655. Sir Nicholas Smith was knighted at Whitehall, July 23, 1603.
IV. Richard Smith. Married Jane Henning.
Sir George Smith, of Mt. Radford, after the death of his first wife, Joan Walker, married, second, Grace, daughter of William Neil (living Dec. 16, 1629), and by her had a daughter, Grace Smith, who married Sir Bevil Grenville, and they had a son, Richard Grenville, Earl of Bath. Sir Bevil Grenville was a son of Sir Bernard Grenville. The father of Grace Neil was William Neil, and her mother Jane, daughter of Arundel, of Trevise.
Sir George Smith was Bailiff of Exeter 1575-82. In 1585 he was Sheriff; Mayor in 1586, 1597, 1607, and Sheriff of Devonshire 1615 to his death in 1617.
Richard Smith, Constable of Chardstock, was executed by Judge Jeffreys, September 7, 1685. He was grandson of Thomas, brother of Sir George Smith, of Mt. Radford. (See Western Martyrology, London, 1873.)
In "Playfair's Baronetage," 1811, the account of the family is as follows :
The more immediate ancestor of the family was Sir George Smith, who was sheriff of Exeter in 1583. He made considerable purchase of land in Devon and Somerset. He also inherited landed property from his ancestors, who had long been residents there. He had one son, George, and a daugh- ter, Elizabeth, who married Sir Thomas Monk, of Podderidge, Knight, by which marriage came the famous General Monk, the restorer of royalty, who was afterwards created by King Charles II, Duke of Albemarle, Knight of the Garter, etc., etc.

Sir George was succeeded by his son, Sir George Smith, Knight, who was Sheriff of the County of Devon in the 12th year of King James I, and represented the City of Exeter in several parliaments. Sir William Pole's History of Devon says that he purchased many manors and left them to his eldest son :
Sir Nicholas Smith, Baronet, who left a son :
Sir Nicholas Smith, Baronet, who died early in the cighteenth century, leaving a son, who died in infancy, when the title became extinet.
During the ownership of Sir Nicholas Smith the estates were dissipated. The other sons of Sir George Smith, the second, entered into mercantile pursuits, and some of them settled in foreign countries. One of them had a son (grandson of Sir George), who was Consul General at Cadiz, Portu- gal. He had a son, George Smith, who acquired estates in Somerset, and was sought after by emissaries of King James II to be executed, but escaped. The descendants of this branch were knighted, and are holders of the title in England at present.
Burke's "Peerage and Baronetage" is more circumstantial as well as different in facts. The account in that work is as follows:
William Smith, Mayor of Exeter, 1553 (was the grandson of Robert Smith, Mayor of Exeter in 1469) had issue by Mary, his wife:
John Smith, of Borage, who married Alice, daughter of Alexander Mut- tleberrie of Jordan, Somerset county, and by her had issue four sons:
1. John.
2. Sir George of Madworthy (now called Matford House). He was Sheriff of Exeter in 1583, and of County Devon, 1615; knighted at St. Theobalds, 15 July, 1616, and died, 1619, leaving an heir:
Sir Nicholas Smith, at Larkbeare, County Devon.
Sir George's daughter (by his first wife), Elizabeth, was mother of George Monk, Duke of Albemarle, and his daughter, Grace, by his second wife, married the Cavalier Sir Basil Grenville, who fell in battle July 15th, 1645. She was the great-grandmother of Mary Grenville, the accomplished Mrs. Delaney.
The points of difference and resemblance of the coat-of-arms and crest of the English family from that of the American family will be seen by comparing the following description with the chart at the head of this chapter :
Sable, a Fess erminois, cotised, or, between three martlets of the last, each charged with an ermine spot.
Crest-A greyhound, sejeant, gules, collared and a line reflexed over the back, or, charged on the shoulder with a mascle, arg.
Motto-Semper fidelis.
George Monk was named after his grandfather, Sir George Smith. in whose house, "Madworthy." he was brought up.

SOME PROMINENT
Sir Nicholas Smith and Dorothy Horsey, his wife, had issue :
I. Sir Nicholas Smith, of "Mt. Radford." Will probated Feb. 13. 1630. Married Hon. Rose Lambert, who died 1677. After Sir Nicholas Smith's death she married, second. Sir John Blagrave, of "Southcote," Berkshire. They had issue one son, Sir George Smith, of Mt. Radford, who died without issue, Nov. 15, 1631, when the title became extinct.
II. George Smith, of Mt. Radford, buried at Exeter, Nov. 11, 1643.
III. John Smith, who emigrated to Carolina about 1630, and is said to have been father of Thomas Smith, Landgrave and Governor.
IV. Edward Smith, Esq., of the Middle Temple, barrister, buried at Exeter, April 15, 1639.
V. Ralph Smith. Will administered March 25. 1635. Had no children.
VI. Edith Smith, buried in Exeter, 1640. Married William Bruton, at Shobrook, March 27, 1627.
VII. Lettuce, of Sandford, County Devon, buried, Exeter, April 1. 1684. Will is dated Jan. 20, 1666. This will shows that, at that date, her brother John and Sir James were still living.
VIII. The Right Hon. Sir James Smith, of Little Chelsea (buried, Nov. 18, 1681), married Anne, daughter of Wm. Boeney, of Flexley Hall, County Gloucester. He adopted Mary, daughter of his wife by her first husband. Mary married Sir Francis Courtenay, ancestor of the Earl of Devon, and he secured, through his wife's adoption, Sir James Smith's estate in Devon.
MONK.
George Monk, first Duke of Albemarle, 1608-1670, was born December 6, 1608, at Potheridge, near Towington, Devonshire, second son of Sir Thomas Monk, Knight, by Elizabeth, daughter of Sir George Smith, of Madworthy, in the same county.
Monk was knighted May 26, 1660, by King Charles; invested with the garter and made Master of Horse, July 7, 1660. Raised
135
VIRGINIA FAMILIES
to the peerage by the titles of Baron Monk of Potheridge, Beau- champ and Tuyes, Earl of Towington, Duke of Albemarle, and granted a pension of £700 a year and given the estate of Newhall, in Essex. August 3, 1660, he was made Captain General of the British Army. He died January 3, 1670.
Christopher Monk (1653-1688), only surviving son of George Monk, married (at sixteen years) Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Henry Cavendish, second Duke of Newcastle. After Christopher Monk's death his widow married, second, Ralph de Montague, first Duke of Montague. She had no children by either husband. Christopher Monk was Governor of Jamaica until his death.
Sir Nicholas Smith claimed that he had traced his ancestry back to Edward I of England. The destruction of family records during the Commonwealth, especially those of middle elasses, who had no means of protecting them, prevents in a great measure the establishment by documentary proof of any, except those in publie position. Consequently some antiquarians deny that the proof of Sir George Smith's royal descent is satisfactory or conelusive. I will, however, give it here for what it is worth :
It has been elearly established that Catherine Bevin married Alexander Muttleberrie. This Katherine Bevin was the daughter of John Bevin and Eleanor de Montague. Eleanor de Montague was the daughter of William de Montague, of County Somerset, by a daughter of Peverill, of County Devon. William de Montague was the son of William de Montague, of Sutton-Montague (name of wife unknown). William de Montague, of Sutton-Montague, was the son of John de Montague and Agnes More.
Joan Plantagenet, born 1272 (better known as Joan of Aere), daughter of King Edward I of England and Matilda, daughter of Ferdinand III, King of Castile, married, first (in 1290), Gilbert the Red, Earl of Gloucester, and after his death (Dec. 7, 1295) married. second, Ralph de Monthermer, afterwards ereated Earl of Gloucester and Hertz. Joan Plantagenet died April 23, 1307. Joan Plantagenet and Ralph de Monthermer had issue :
I. Thomas, Lord Monthermer. Married Margaret Tiptoft. Had issue :

SOME PROMINENT
I. Margaret Monthermer. Married Sir John de Montague. Knighted 12th Richard II. He was a brother of Wm. de Montague, second Earl of Salisbury. They had four children :
I. John de Montague, who was summoned to Parliament as John de Montague or "Montacute" 1357-1389, and died 1390. Married Maude, daughter of Sir Adam Francis and widow of (1) John Aubrey, (2) Sir Allan Bruxall, K. G. They had two sons :
I. Thomas de Montague, fourth Earl of Salisbury 1382-1428.
II. Richard de Montague, left no issue.
III. Anne de Montague. Married, first, Sir Richard Hank- ford; married, second, Sir John Fitzhewes; married, third, John Holland, Duke of Exeter and Earl of Hunt- ington, 1395-1447. Anne died in 1457.
IV. Margaret de Montague. Married William, Lord Ferrars, of Grolyd, 1445.
V. Elizabeth de Montague. Married Robert, Lord Willough- by, of Earby ; d. 1452.
II. Robert de Montague.
III. Thomas de Montague.
IV. Richard de Montague.
The second child above named, Robert de Montague, married and had issue :
I. John de Montague. Married Agnes More.
II. William de Montague, of Somerset County.
The marriage of Joan of Acre with her first husband's Squire- at-Arms was a defiance of the traditions of the Plantagenet family. It was looked upon as a misalliance, and her royal father became incensed and refused to recognize the marriage or receive de Monthermer in Court. The Scottish war, however, gave de Monthermer his opportunity, and he showed such intrepidity and valor that he gained the King's favor in 1306. The Bishop of Durham, who had married them, was the mediator in the reconciliation. Monthermer was elevated to high honors, as befitted the husband of a princess of the house of Plantagenet, and he became Earl of Gloucester and Hertz.
