As far
as I have been able to ascertain, the British Smitherman families
fall into two main groups, those in Kent and those from the West
Midlands. Groups also occur in Yorkshire, Derbyshire and East
Anglia, but I have no reason to believe that any of the groups
are connected - but time will tell!
The largest group by far, is that in the USA
, where virtually all the current members are descended from
one Samuel
Smitherman who was resettled in the American Colony after
a "small misdemeanor" in London. I shall not attempt
to cover the US group on this site as they are already well represented
on the Web.
The odd thing is that I am descended from both
the Kent and West Midland's lot, via my paternal grandparents,
neither of whom probably would have known of their possible relationship.
