Book excerpt: Excerpt from Genealogical Notes and Memoirs of the Smithson Family The following notes about various branches of the Smith son family have been collected by me during the last four years, and to prevent loss (which is so liable to happen to a quantity of miscellaneous manuscript) it has been suggested that I have them put into print, in simple book form. Although the writing of these pages may seem to have been easy, as now arranged, yet the gathering of the materials for them has entailed a considerable amount of solid work. Large areas of ground had to be covered before one arrived at proof of even one well-attested link which would be of importance. Besides the Parish Registers which I have examined at a large number of churches in Yorkshire, Cumberland, Westmorland and Durham, many wills have been Copied at the York Probate Office, also the Principal Probate Office (somerset House), and the Probate Offices of Carlisle and Durham.
