"It is believed that the Smoote family were natives of the Netherlands where the name may have been spelled Saute. This name has also been found spelled Smeete in this country. Marriages occured between the House of Smoot and the nobility and gentry of that Province. A coat-of-arms was found. The William Smoote family of Maryland had the name and traditions of the Dutch House of Smoot and bore a coat-of-arms.

William Smoote was among the pioneer immigrants who resided first in the Colony of Virginia and later moved to the Province of Maryland. There are no known family or Bible records that supply names and dates of his family. The date of birth is estimated by three depositions made under oath within a period of ten years.

The exact date of his arrival in Virginia is unknown. By court records it is known that he was in Virginia in 1633, 1637 and 1640. He paid for the transportation of eight persons to the Virginia colony. The names of these people were omitted on the patent he received. It is normal to think they were members of his own family and perhaps some who would be in his employment. A patent was granted to him in February, 1642 for "fouer hundred acres of Land in the Clountie of Yorke neare the head of a Creeke called Tymber Neck Creeke on the north side of Charles river-- being due unto him by and for the transportation of eigh persons into this Colony". The name Smoote was spelled Smeete on this document as it has been on other documents of the time.

He was a boatwright, proficient in his trade and recognized and acceptable to the ship building industry of that era. The family resided at Hampton and it was there that he carried on his construction of various types of boats such as the early settlers needed. He fought against the Pamunky and Chicahominy Indians and was paid 600 pounds of tobacco when on October 1, 1644 the Grand Jury met at James City County.

On March 8, 1645 he placed his estate into the possession of Joseph Hill who stood bound with him for a debt to be paid Ashwell Batten and soon after moved his family to the Province of Maryland. A land grant for 300 acres in what is now St. Mary's County, Maryland was surveyed on April 6, 1646 and the patent dated June 12, 1647. He later settled on the Wicomico River. A map of Pickowaxon Hundred, Ca. 1670, shows the location on the Wiccomicco River on the lands of William Smoote and the "Smoote Shipyard".

Court records indicate he was active in purchasing land in Maryland. Deeds also show that he transferred this land to his sons. Very little is recorded about his ship building in Virginia and Maryland."
