Note:
Will of Lawr Smith, dated 11th March, 1736-7, and witnessed by John Buckner, John Ballard, William Nelson, Ishmael Moody.
===
From "Colonial Yorktown," by Clyde F. Trudell (Thomas Publications, Gettysburg, Pa), Page 111, has info on the Edmund Smith House, etc:
Col Lawrence Smith married first Mildred Chisman, daughter of Capt Thomas Chisman & Elizabeth Read, daughter of Col George Read; Col Lawence and Mildred (Chisman) Smith had 3 children; When Mildred died Col Smith married second Mildred Read daughter of John Read, Col George Read's eldest son. By his second wife, Smith had 5 children.
Edmund was the son of Col Lawrence Smith, son of Maj Lawrence Smith. Maj. Lawrence Smith, as surveyor, laid out the original 83 town lots in the Towne of York in 1691. For his services he was given Lot 72. Upon his death in 1700 Smith's son, Col Lawrence Smith, inherited the lot, and on 10 Feb 1706 added to his holdings by buying Lot 53 on the west side of Nelson Street. [The original grantee of Lot 53 in 1699 was William Simson had forfeited title by failing to build]. Col Smith must have erected some sort of building since he held title until Jan 1734 when he conveyed the property to his son and heir Edmund Smith. The property was described as "joining on one side upon Mr. Thomas Nelson (Lot 54) and on the other side upon Captain John Ballard (Lot 54) and known by the figures 53." Edmund's Will dated 18 Dec 1750 indicates that he had a new house under construction on Lot 53 at the time of his death in 1751. A later deed "devised Lot 53 to his daughter Mildred now the wife of David Jameson. Of Scottish descent, David was the son of James Jameson of Essex Co, Virginia. In 1781 David became Thomas Nelson's Lt Governor, becoming acting governor briefly during Nelson's illness in Aug of that year. Upon the death of David Jameson in 1793 his nephew, John Jameson of Yorktown received Lot 53 and the house thereon.
