  The early 1600's connection is still under research to determine exact family lines. There is also interest in determining if this Smyth line is ultimately connected to Ecceard Smythe of Durham (circa 975) that spelled his name with Celtic Runic letters suggested he was a Celt or Pict. You may also find the general information about the Smythe DNA research conducted in England interesting in connecting 5 major families of the landed heraldic Smyths between the 12th and 17th centuries back to early Pictish stock. It would appear that the Smith family has had over 1000 years of participation in the development of English culture.
  
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  
  ECCEARD (ECCARD) SMYTH of Durham, circa 975
  Spelled the TH in Smythe with Celtic Runic letters suggested he was either a Celt, Pict or Norse
  Recent yDNA on this line connects the Smyth pedigree most closely with common Icelandic yDNA markers that were of both Celt and Norse origins having migrated before 1000 AD to Iceland.
  Therefore, the origin of the Smythe forbearers were not likely of Anglo-Saxon stock.

  (28) Sir MICHAEL of CARRINGTON (SMYTHE), b. d.
  Joined the Third Crusade in 1187 A.D. led by King Richard Coeur de Lion.
  Standard Bearer for King Richard I. A version of King Richard's initial battle flag to the right - now with three red lions. The crosses crosslet will become a reoccuring symbol in the male line of the Smythes.
  Scaled the walls of Acre with four other men and opened the gates to the armies of the Crusades.
  Knighted at the Siege of Acre by King Richard I in 1191 and given Aston Hall.
  Motto Exaltabit Honore may come from Psalm 112, “His horn shall be exalted.” Supposed to have gained the motto at the siege of Acre, where Michael Carrington behaved with such courage that Richard Coeur de Lion took off his crown and placed it over the helm, bearing a unicorn’s head, of our ancestor. Or... it may have come from Psalm 92, in which the actual words “horn shall be exalted like that of the unicorn” appear with the belligerent reference to enemies seems more appropriate to a Crusader.
  Died in the Holy Land.

  In 1399 when King Richard II was deposed, Michael's descendant, John of Carrington had to flee the country and changed his name to (back to??) Smythe and later returned to England.
  John Smythe considered to be the founder of the 'Templar" Smyths of Cressing Temple. This suggests that that Sir Michael Smythe (Carrington) in 1187 was associated with the Templar Order.
  Thomas Smythe (21b) of Rivenhall ggggrandson, Edward Smyth of Iver Bucks married Francis Pennyman.

In 1550, he was also granted the former lands of Ankerwycle Priory.
  Two estates known as Hill Hall now synonomous with Theyton Mount or Mount Hall was first recorded as owned by heirs of the Norman Godric before 1066. It then passed to heirs of Robert Fitz Wimarc (1069), then to heirs of Willaim de Theyton (1163), then to heirs of Robert de Briwes (1236), then to heirs of Bishop Henry de Lessington, then to heirs of William de Sutton, then back to heirs of Robert de Briwes (1248), then back to the heirs of Robert de Sutton (1274), then to the disputed heirs of de Malyn (1348), then to the heirs of Thomas (North)Hampden (1486), then to the heirs of Sir Thomas Smythe (1553) who married the widow of Sir John Hampden. Having no issue, Hill Hall went to brother of Sir Thomas, George Smyth. (19b). The holding of the Manor was said to be in the honor of Rayleigh. It remained in Smyth (Smijth) ownership from 1553 until about 1925. All but 70 acres of the Parish was owned by Sir John Smijth in 1838.
  A Church was also built at Theydon Mount and dedicated to St Michael in 1236. The 1400's pope offered indulgences to those that would support the Church. The original Church was burnt down in 1411 and a new one built. There remains to this day many monuments, tablets, brasses and stained glass in memorial of the Smyth's of Theydon Mount.
