      Isaac Smoot died intestate. His widow as administratrix on November 1, 1752, distributed the proceeds to the four children. John McPherson and William Smoot were her bondsmen.

      William Smoot, the bachelor and youngest son, served as a lieutenant in the Maryland Line during the Revolution, and was the only member of the Smoot family to receive the high distinction of being a charter member of the Society of the Cincinnati. He died sometime before 1800.

      The membership of Lieutenant Smoot in the Society of the Cincinnati is now represented, through his sister Sarah Anne (Smoot) Dodson, by his great-great-great-great nephew, Judge William Breckenridge Ardery, of Paris, Kentucky, and the grandson of Sarah Isabella Dodson by her marriage in 1854 to Robert Ferris Adair.

      On February 24, 1827, his niece, Elizabeth (Smoot) Radcliffe, of Prince William County, Virginia, applied to the Land Office for bounty land in right as one of his heirs. She certified that she was the daughter of his brother, Barton Smoot, and that the heirs of William Smoot, besides herself were the children of William's sister, Sarah Dodson, that is, Henry, Robert, John, Middleton, Eleanor, and Sarah all of Prince George's County, Maryland. Her statement was proved by Samuel Smoot and Joseph Radcliffe both of Washington, D. C. who swore that Elizabeth Radcliffe was the niece of William Smoot, and the only child of the latter's brother Barton. A warrant was issued for 200 acres of land on March 24, 1827.

      Margaret Cannon, born say 1725, was the indentured servant of Isaac Smoot on 10 August 1743 when she was convicted by the Charles County court of having a child by a "Negro." The court bound her five-month-old daughter Nelly as an apprentice and ordered that she serve her master an additional seven years [Court Proceedings, vol. 39, 627-8].
