The following Will Abstracts are taken from microfilm of Washington Co., MD Register of Wills (Wills). The microfilm was difficult to read in places, so I may have transcribed some names/dates incorrectly. Please verify should you decide to use this info. These were the only Smith Wills I saw listed in Book C on the microfilm. Hopefully, this will help some of those trying to sort out their Smiths of Washington Co., MD.
