| George Smallwood (son of John) has slight mention in the Court Proceedings of Charles County in 1756 and 1757, indicating he was probably born earlier than 1736. His father was born about 1705. He is undoubtedly the same George Smallwood who bought land of James Loyd in Frederick Co., Va. on Sept. 3, 1764. (see excerpt of deed to follow) George lived in the section of Frederick Co. later set off into Berkeley County (1772) and still later into Jefferson County (1801). The name of George's first wife is unknown. Secondly he married Ann Hart, widow of Thomas Hart, Jr. They were married at the time of settlement of estate of Henry Lloyd, Huntington Co., Pa., in 1802, but date of this marriage is unknown. Henry Lloyd was father of Ann Hart. George and Ann were living apart at the time of her death. From the Jefferson Co. deeds and Estate Account we find at least six children for George: -Gabriel md Mary _____, -Thomas md Elizabeth _______, -Elizabeth md Michael Wysong 3-15-1826, -Samuel md, Betsey Heney 12-28-1815, -Nancy md Samuel Strain 7-31-1800. -Delilah DEEDS FREDERICK CO., VA [Smallwood book, p. 41] vol. 9 Page 371 & 372 This indenture made the Third Day of September in the year of our Lord One thousand Seven Hundred Sixty four between James Loyd * * and George Smallwood of Frederick Co., * * * in consideration of the sum of five shillings current money of Virginia * * * a Tract of Land containing One Hundered and Forty Acres *** paying therefore the Rent of one Pepper Corn on Lady Day if the same shall be Lawfully Demanded. /s/ James Loyd DEEDS BERKELEY CO., WV [Smallwood book, p. 55] Lib. 13, vol. 333 George Smallwood buys land on March 18, 1797 from George Hite and Wife Deborah.
