INTRODUCTION

The work on this page was extracted by Carole Hammett from the IGI (International Genealogical Index) through the online Family Search website search engine (IGA Search), as provided by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Because of Carole’s illness, I am now checking, reformatting, and also coding her work. This page should unquestionably be considered “Under Construction.”
The purpose of this work is to show that there are enough English Smout (Smoute, Smooth, &c.) records to demonstrate by statistical probability that “William Smute, Boatright of Hampton, Virginia, and Pickawaxon, Maryland,” may well be directly connected to the English Smouts. We do understand that there are many spelling variations of the Smout surname. That is so because in those old days, more were hooked on phonics than on spelling.
We do not deny that in the realm of possibilities, there could be a “continental connection” (as strongly suggested by Harry Wright Newman) to the Smute and Smout names/lines, but in any case, those connections have not been proven!

Carole Hammett Contributed :

With one exception (as noted), the following are scattered early English SMOUTE records, all in the random order as located, except for the first three (which I also re-formatted).



Parish Registers, Saint Mary The Virgin, Aldermanbury, London, England. (Partial extraction from FamilySearch.Org, their original source: Film No. 0845245, "The registers of St. Mary the Virgin, Aldermanbury, London" by William Bruce Bannerman)

14 Nov 1591 Christened: William SMOOTH, son of ----- SMOOTH.
16 Jun 1594 Christened: Elizabeth SMOOTH, daughter of William SMOOTH

Parish Registers, English Bicknor, Gloucester. (Partial extraction from FamilySearch.Org, their original source film no. 0855608, Parish registers, 1561-1844 Church of England. Parish Church of English Bicknor)

24 Aug 1594 Christened: Alicia SMOUTE, daughter of Willmi SMOUTE
10 Feb 1626 Christened: Willielm SMOUT, son of Willi and Sybill SMOUT
5 Sep 1630 Christened: Anna SMOUTE, daughter of Gulielmi and Sybillae SMOUTE
9 Mar 1632 English Bicknor, Gloucester, England. Christened: Richardus SMOUTE, son of Gulielmi SMOUTE

Parish Registers, St. Dunstan, Stepney, Middlesex, England. (Partial extraction from FamilySearch.Org, Film or fiche number: 0595417, Parish registers, 1568-1875 Church of England. Parish Church of Stepney; IGI entry lists as London (current) as versus Middlesex (pre-1979))

9 Feb 1622 Christened: Richard SMOUTE, son of Thomas and Katherin SMOUTE
17 Aug 1625 Married: Anne SMOOTH and Richard JENKINGS

(Notes: No marriage record located for Thomas and Katherine. St. Dunstan, Stepney, was (before the administrative reorganization of 1979) in the shire of Middlesex, but in that part which was a suburb of London (and today parter of the administrative entity called Greater London). There were many mariners residing in this area, thus not at all impossible that boatbuilders might have been here also.

CH: This URL is no longer good, but the site is going up again shortly and will provide URL once known.

You will also want to read up on the IGI in respect to what are "good" records and which are not (parish extracts vs. temple submissions, patron sheets, etc.). For that, see Reference IGI

A quick search of the online PRO catalogue* returned no SMOOT or SMUTE, but SMOOTE returns the following:

Note: There are a number of Holland papers. On 29 Jul 1629 is an account of the "siege of Bois le Duc," which might provide a clue as to what was happening "historically" at the time to warrant expelling the Dutch in England.
