_Judge Smith_ (Vol. vii., pp. 463. 508.).--I am well acquainted with the
monumental inscriptions in Chesterfield Church, but I do not recollect one
to the memory of Judge Smith.
Thomas Smith, who was an attorney in Sheffield, and died in 1774, had a
brother, William Smith of Norwich, who died in 1801. Thomas Smith married
Susan Battie, by whom he had a son Thomas Smith of Sheffield, and after of
Dunston Hall, who married in 1791 Elizabeth Mary, only surviving child of
Robert Mower of Woodseats, Esq., (by Elizabeth his wife, daughter of
Richard Milnes of Dunston Hall, Esq.) It was through this lady that the
Dunston estate came to the Smiths by the will of her uncle Mr. Milnes. Mr.
Smith died in 1811, having had issue by her (who married secondly John
Frederick Smith, Esq., of London) three sons and several daughters. The
second son (Rev. Wm. Smith of Dunston Hall) died in 1841, leaving male
issue; but I am not aware of the death of either of the others. The family
had a grant of arms in 1816. Dunston Hall had belonged to the Milnes family
for about a century.
