My ancestor THOMAS SPEAKE b. 1696 in St Mary's County, Maryland; d. 9/13/ 1755 in Charles County, MD married JANE? who died in 1714 in Charles County, MD. The information that I have speculates that her maiden name was BRISCOE, BARTON or SMOOT. I have been intrigued lately to see a BARTON SMOOT appearing in Maryland records and am wondering if Jane was related to him (which would kill the last 2 birds with one stone). Does anyone have information on Barton Smoot or any Jane Smoots in that time period in Maryland? Thanks, Elizabeth Hopkins
