About Rachel Smith
Colonel Walter Smith
Colonel Walter Smith, of Hall’s Creek (in the Freshes of the Patuxent not far from Lower Marlboro), born sometime after 1651, was the second son of Richard Smith, Sr., and his wife, Elinor, and brother of Richard Smith, Jr.
In 1686, Walter Smith married Rachel Hall (daughter of Richard Hall, Burgess for Calvert County from 1666 to 1670, and from 1674 to 1685. Richard Hall named in his will “my daughter Rachel now wife of Walter Smith” and left her a tract of 300 acres called “Aldermason.”) Walter and Rachel had eight children: Lucy, Elinor, Anne, Richard, Walter, Rebecca, Elizabeth, and Mary.
On September 4, 1689, Walter Smith was commissioned Captain of Foot in the Calvert County Militia. He became a Major on August 17, 1695, a Colonel in 1706, and was appointed, along with his brother Richard, to serve on a commission for the laying out of towns and ports in the county. Walter represented his county in the Assembly from 1696 to 1704, and again from 1708 to 1711.
Walter Smith was a member of All Saint’s Parish, Calvert County, and was elected a vestryman when the parish was organized on February 7, 1692-3, a position he held until his death. On May 14, 1694, he was commissioned one of the Justices of Calvert County, and on May 10, 1699, was made Presiding Justice.
Walter Smith may have had Jacobite tendencies as in 1698 he was required to appear at the next Provincial Court for drinking to King James’ health. “William Barton and John Wright testified before the council that they had been at Walter Smith’s Calvert County home and a toast was drunk to the health of King James.” (Extract from the Council Book, July 1, 1698) On July 22, 1698, Walter was obliged to furnish security for future good behavior and to appear at the next Provincial Court.
Colonel Walter Smith died in 1711. His will was dated February 16, 1710, and proved on June 4, 1711. His wife, Rachel (Hall) Smith died on October 28, 1730, at the age of 60.
