For general info on William Smiths in the area, this one made his Will on 4 Mar 1747/8 in Lancaster Co., PA. His Will directed his body be buried in the Hempfield burying ground. He left his three brothers James, Jacob and Phillip Smith a 465 acre tract of land in Virginia. Also directed that his 2 horses and one mare be sold and the profits be divided between his 3 brothers and they they pay his sister Hannah Hickinbotham twenty pounds in lawful money of Virginia. Will was witnessed by John and James Wright and proved on 16 June 1748. The Hannah Hickinbotham is believed to be the Hannah who was married to Joseph Higginbotham of Amherst Co., VA, particularly because records of Amherst Co. show a close association between a Phillip and James Smith of Amherst Co. and the Higginbothams there.
