Maryland Genealogies", "Smith Family of Calvert County' by Christopher Johnston has the following information: "Charles Somerset Smith of Charles County was born in 1698 and died in 1738. He gives his age as twenty years in a deposition made in 1718 (Chancery, Lib. Pl, fol. 849) and his will, dated 17 November 1738, was proved 20 February 1738/9. Charles in his will appoints his wife executrix and names his sons Richard and Charles Somerset, and his daughters Elizabeth, wife of Francis Wilkinson, and Anne, Dicandia, Mary, and Jane. Of these, Elizabeth was evidently the daughter of the first wife, while the two sons were, according to family record, the children of the second wife. With regard to the remaining four daughteres the case is not so clear, though they were probably the children of the first marriage.
According to Elise Greenup Jourdan in Vol 5 of her book "Early Families of Southern Maryland", "26 Mar 1734; Examination of plantation for Samuel Perrie, minor, by guardian Col. Charles Somerset Smith; tracts mentioned: Patrick Helly, Jupeter's Quarter, Woodsjoye, Willett's Purchase (commonly called Burnham), Truman's Quarter (Part of Woodjoye), Mary Glassington's part of Ledford's Hope, Stanlys Land and Nutwells.
