Biography
From Sir Ralph De Ottely, living 30 Ed. I., descended Isabella, who by Robert De Willerby had a daughter, Joan, who married Smyth, styled of Acthorpe, the mother parish of Elkington. This Smyth apparently had two brothers, John, designated in contemporary deeds Le Faber, and Andrew, whose son John was a priest.
By Joan Willerby, who was living in 1421, he had a son John of Acthorpe, or Elkington, probably the John of the Visitation of 1433.
His son William died in 1467, leaving a numerous issue, of whom the second son, Thomas of South Elkington, had a son George, and a grandson James; while the fourth son, William of Parkthorpe, had (1) William of Hammerton, whose line ended in Christopher,* living in 1631 ; and (2) Robert of Waltham, living in 1530, who by Eleanor Lilbourn of Fenby, had, with others, Christopher, Clerk of the Pipe, who married Margaret, daughter of John Hide, or Hyde, of Albury, Herts, and assigned the estate of Annables to his son Thomas on his marriage with Joane Collett, who re-married Sir John Luke. Of the issue of his second son Nicholas we will treat presently. By Joane Collett, Thomas Smyth had Sir George, who purchased the manorial rights of Annables. He succeeded his father as Clerk of the Pipe, and married Judith, daughter of Sir Rowland Lytton of Knebworth, and niece of Helen Lytton, wife of Sir John Brocket, whose fifth daughter, Mary, married Sir Thomas Reade, jure uxoris, of Brocket Hall. Neither of the sons of Sir George Smyth by Judith Lytton — viz. Rowland (died 1639), and George, left issue, and this branch thus terminating, the Linc, and Herts estates devolved on Edmund, son of Nicholas afore mentioned.[1] I accept this from the printed pedigree of Smyth of Elkington ; other wise the Visitation of Surrey, 1623 — Smyth of Peperharow — would lead to an opposite conclusion.[2]
