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 Books A and B on the microfilm. I’ve seen very little posted on the lineages below. Hopefully, this info will help those trying to sort out their Smiths of Washington Co., MD . ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- 1777-1801 Book A Pgs 19-20 SMITH, John of Jerusalem Town ..w/ Catherine ..s/ Lodowick ...…s/ John ...…d/ Catherine ..s/ George ...…s/ John ...…d/ Elizabeth Will written/probated: 20 Jun 1778 and 31 Aug 1778 Exec: George Witnesses: Frederick Keger, George Barnhart, Jacob Funk ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pgs 287-288 SMITH, George of Sharpsburg ..w/ Catherine ..c/ Chansty ? ..c/ George ..c/ Abraham ..c/ Jacob ..c/ Joseph ..c/ Charlotta ..c/ Michael ..c/ Elizabeth ..c/ Caty ?
