- According to Newman, "Charles Smoot, son of Hendley and Eleanor (Briscoe) Smoot, was born 1771 in Trinity Parish, Charles County. He was the first member of the Smoot family to accept holy orders, being ordained a priest of the American Episcopal Church in 1793. His most memorial charge was King and Queen Parish of St. Mary's County, with the parish church located at Old St. Mary's City where his maternal ancestor, Dr. John Briscoe, first settled nearly two hundred years before.
On December 14, 1795, he secured license in St. Mary's County to marry Anne, born December 25, 1771, daughter of Charles Calvert and Mary Egerton, and a kinswoman of Lord Baltimore." He had 8 children. [2]
