Susannah Williams Family Tree

Hugh Smithwick "likely arrived in Virginia in early 1642, being one of fifteen men brought over by William Eyres, who received for their transportation into the Colony "750 Acs. Up. Norf. Co., May 23, 1642...Upon an arm of the W. br. of Nansemond River, adj. John Garrett." Upper Norfolk County became Nansemond County and is so known today; bordering northeastern North Carolina." [Gracy, Thomas Hinds Duggan p. 151]

By 1669, Hugh and his family moved into North Carolina to an area bordering the northern part of present day Edenton. A petition, made by his sons, Edward and John, in 1694 "stated their father Hugh Smithwick came into this country (Albemarle) about 35 years since..."[Gracy, Thomas Hinds Dugan, p. 152] He was one of the early permanent white settlers in the Carolina s.
