A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Mr. Charles DEAE read the last will and testament of Captain John Smith, of Virginia and New-E ngland From this will it seems certain, that Smith left no wife or children; and it is veryprobable that he was a bachelor. Mr. Charles Campbell, in his Historj of the Colony and Ancient Dominion of Virginia, published in 1860, (at p. 83,) cites a recent book entitled AY ear with the Turks, by Warington W. Smyth, A.M., London, the writer of which claims descent from our Captain Smith. It would seem to be a safe proposition for any one bearing the name of Smith, to say that John Smith was his ancestor; but it might be more diiiicult to demonstrate, that a certain John Smith, who lived two or three hundred jears ago, bore that relation. The following letter from our Corresponding Member, H. G. Somerby, Esq., of London, will find an appropriate place here: London, January 22, 1867. My dear Mr. Deane, I have inuch pleasure in sending jou an abstract of the will of Captain John Smith sfather. I have not a full copy; but I hope to visit Lincoln again before long, when I shall copy it verbatim et literatim. I send also an extract from the parish register of Willoughby, which was given to me by the clergyman there. I hare not seen the register myself, which I hope I may do sometime, in order to copy all the entries of the name of Smith. I remain very truly yours, Charles Deane, Esq. H. G. Somerbt. George Smith, of Willoughby, near A lford, County Lincoln. Will dated March 30,1596.t Desires to be buried in the church of Willoughby. Bequeaths to the Right Honorable my Lord Willoughby, under whom I have many years lived as his poor tenant, as a token of my dutiful good-will, the best of my two years old colts. Wife A lice, whom he commends to his eldest son, John, to honor and love during his life; younger son, Francis Smith; daughter A lice; kinsman, Robert Smith. Appoints h
