| 205 | From history of the Brereton family (https://archive.org/details/breretonsofchesh00brer/page/50): "The monument was originally finished with a shield, which is now lying in the chancel, on which were the arms of Smethwicke, OR, (OR means gold color) three crosses patee-fitche, sable. On the friezes below were originally nine shields, as follows: (i) Smethwicke, impaling Brereton ; argent, two bars, sable. (2) Smethwicke, impaling Davenport; argent, a chevron on sable, between three cross crosslets fitchee of the second. (3) Smethwicke, impaling Ratclyfife ; argent, two bars engrailed, sable, a label of three points, gules. (4) Smethwicke, impaling Kingsley ; vert, a cross engrailed, ermine. (5) Smethwicke, impaling Downes ; sable, a hart (deer) lodged, argent. (6) De-stroyed. (7) Smethwicke, impaling ____; argent, fretty gules, on a canton azure, a cross patee, argent.

The term "impaling" signifies the marriage connections with the families of the names mentioned. The name Downes refers to the Knights of Donnybrook Castle, Kildare, with whom the Colclough family were probably connected. Those of the Vernons and Davenports were the same as those with whom the Breretons, of Brereton, also married." | de Smethwick, Thurstan (I3280)

|
| 208 | From Laura Stewart Civey: He was born July 25, 1892 in New Albany, Floyd Co., IN. He graduated high school from New Albany, IN. in 1916. He was in the U.S. Army from May 1917 - Sept. 1919. He was attached to the 33rd Infantry Division, 131st Regiment, Company "M" from Chicago. He was a Sergeant in WWI. He was in the Battle of Meuse-Argonne in France. About one of every ten was killed or wounded in this battle. From The World Book 1963, World War I p.376 he had underlined certain sections and wrote "I was there HHS." The underlined sections were: On August 8, the Allies, led by Canadian and Australian troops, attacked the Germans fiercely at A miens. and the Allies swept toward Saint Mihiel and the Meuse-Argonne region. American soldiers took over a large portion of the battle line. He was wounded and received 3 Purple Heart medals ( 2 shell shots & 1 for being gassed with mustard gas); also received the WWI Victory Medal with three battle clasps: Somme Defensive March 21 - April 6, 1918, Somme Offensive August 8 - November 11, 1918, & Meuse - Argonne September 26 - November 1918. The soldiers that carried him out of the battlefield used him as a human shield to get out. He was stationed in France. On March 14, 1919 he was at Camp Lee, VA., after he was wounded in the Battle of Argonne. He also received a silver lapel button for being wounded in action. He used to love to tell old war stories about how the Germans would abandon a tank that would get stuck and they would come along and use the law of leverage to get them out. ( I wish I had paid more attention to these stories.) He returned home from the war to Chicago, IL. where he went to college at the Armour Institute of Technology where he received his Mechanical Engineering Degree (B.S.M.E. in 1924). He was Supt. of Steel Mills of which U. S. Steel was one. The plant in Chicago was known as South Works. He worked for the Atomic Energy Commission during WWII and also War Assets Administration. He lived in New Albany, IN., Chicago., IL., Birmingham, AL, Fontana, CA, Provo, UT., Idaho Falls, ID., Pontiac, MI., Waverly, OH., Paducah, KY. and later where he retired with his wife on her family land in Glasgow, KY. Part of his wife's family land was sold in 1963 and he bought a tract and subdivided it, known as Beaver Creek Subdivision. It was located off of Lexington Drive; the road is named after him, Stewart Drive in Glasgow. During his retirement he loved to fish and hunt. He owned a boat dock, Dale Hollow Marina, which he changed the name to Sulphur Creek Marina in Burkesville, KY. It is now known as Sulphur Creek Resort. He was founder of Barren River Rod and Gun Club in Barren Co., KY. He was a 32nd degree Mason, belonged to the Windsor-Blackstone Lodge No. 1124 in Chicago, IL. He was also a Shriner, but in later years he wasn't as active. He attained the 33rd degree, but dropped it make to 32nd because of obilgations to it, that he didn't have time to commit to. He was a very intelligent man and very congenial. He was 83 when he died and had only immediate family, but the funeral home was filled with flowers from everywhere. He never met a stranger. I remember one time when we were going to Louisville, he picked up a hitch hiker (this would have been in the 60's when you didn't consider it as dangerous). He drove this man 30 minutes out of our way and then when he let the man out, he handed the man some money. My father was always kind to everyone, and he always had time to speak to people. At the time of his death on April 19, 1976 he was the oldest living veteran in Barren Co., Ky. He was a very active member in the D.A.V. | Stewart, Homer Harland (I1828)

| 209 | From Laura Stewart Civey: Her obituary from "Public Press" New Albany,Floyd Co., IN. Tuesday Dec. 26, 1911 p.5 Mrs. Johanna Smithwick, 94 years of age, widow of William Smithwick, was found dead in her bed at 8:30 last Friday night in the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ella Dieckman, 1615 Dewey St., where she resided. Mrs. Smithwick had been disabled from a broken hip for about twelve years. She had retired about two hours before and Mrs. Dieckman, before going to bed, went to her mother's room to see how she was resting and discovered that she was dead. Mrs. Smithwick was a native of Ireland, but had lived in New Albany for fifty years. (She came over in 1848 *LSC) She leaves a son, Capt. Thomas Smithwick, and five daughters, Mrs. D.S. Jocelyn, Mrs. William McNeff, Mrs. William Stewart, Mrs. Jeff Kern and Mrs. Dieckman, all of New Albany. From her death certificate states that she died of organic heart disease. Death certificate recorded Floyd County Health Dept. Book No. CH22 page 43. Funeral under direction of Newland Gwin Funeral Home. | Harland, Johanna Leota (I1835)

| 210 | From Laura Stewart Civey: Wil's parents both died when he was only 6 years old. His mother died on Christmas Eve from consumption (TB) & his father had just died 6 months before of typhoid fever. He was an only child. He went to live with his Uncle & Aunt, John B. & Penina Winstandley. Guardian's Docket Floyd Co., IN. shows this. May 8, 1877. Final Report of Guardianship of William H. Stewart in Floyd Co., IN., signed Dec. 26,1875 by John B. Winstandley. Wil was a conductor on the Daisy Line of the Interstate Public Service Company. It ran west of Jefferson St. in Louisville and over the K. and I. Bridge and the interurban route east on Madison St. and over the Big Four Bridge. He and his family moved to Chicago, IL. after Homer finished school about 1911-12. In Deed Book 61 Floyd Co., IN. on Oct. 7th, 1909, William H. & Maggie L.(Smithwick) Stewart sell unto Fred J. Brown & Thomas Smithwick ( her brother ) for the sum of $1.00 a part of lot or block #16 of the Griffin Tract. On the 1910 Floyd Co., IN. census William H. (conductor), Margaret, & Homer (bill clerk) are listed. Wil was last listed on the New Albany directory in 1911-1912. I believe that they moved to Chicago soon after his mother-in-law's death in Dec. 1911. He and his family lived at 1813 E. Spring St. in New Albany. At time of his death he was living at 7910 Ridgeland Ave. in Chicago. Ward 46. He died of a stroke. Death certificate lists: paralysis following cerebral haemorrhiage & that he died at 9:45 pm. He and his wife are buried in the Fairview Cemetery, New Albany, IN. (His grandfather Isaac Stewart's plot) He was a member of the Knights of Pythias. In correspondence with my 1st cousin Esther, daughter of Manor, she remembers that her Grandfather Wil was always selling something. She wrote that she remembers that he came home from work one day without his shirt! He had sold it to a Mexican at work (Chicago). She remembers her grandparents riding the South Shore (electric train) to visit them over a weekend. She writes "They didn't come often, but I always looked forward to Grandpa taking me to the drug store for an ice cream cone! He had a green thumb - grew beautiful sweet - peas in the gravel parking lot at their apartment." | Stewart, William Henry Harrison (I1829)

| 212 | From Magna Brittanica, 1810: The manor of Smethwick was given by Ralph Brereton in or about the reign of King John to his nephew Orme de Smethwick and his heirs paying twelve pence yearly to the chapel of Brereton. The hall and demesne of Smethwick were purchased of the representatives of the Smethwicks about a century ago by the ancestor of Edward Thornycroft of Thornycroft, the present proprietor. The hall is occupied as a farm house. | de Smethwick, Orme (I3282)
|
| 213 | From Magna Brittanica: The Smethwicks who were of Smethwick in the reign of King John became extinct in the principal branch in the reign of King Henry VIII (ed. 1509-1547) when the co-heiresses married Mainwaring and Brereton of Derbyshire; the descendant of a younger son who settled at Tutbury is described as of Smethwick in 1655 but the family is supposed to have been extinct before the end of that century when Smethwick was purchased by the Thornycrofts. | Smethwick, Thomas (I3307)

|
| 220 | George is not listed in the will of John Smethwick, but he was initiated into the Stationers Livery via "patrimony" of John in 1631. We can make the assumption that he and possibly his wife Joan were deceased or estranged from father John by 1641 since they were not named as an heir of any assets. | Smethwick, George (I3363)

| 249 | I have run into several Buckleys from the same parish who might be children of this Buckley: Anne (m. James Rosney) of Turraun, William (m. Margaret Rosney) of Turraun, James (m.

Mary Molloy) of Falsk and Martin. | Buckley (I6464)
|
| 250 | I see there is an Anna Cantwell who marries a John Malone in Ballinahown. A couple by the same name also appear as the parents of two daughters -- Bridget and Mary -- who die in Canada. It is possible that the family were fleeing the famine/typhus. See: https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/1091/images/d13p_16990808 and https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/1091/images/d13p_16990811 | Cantwell, Anna (I8971)
