The following is an excerpt from "The Smidt/Smitt/Smith/Smyth Family ofNew Castle County, DE & Washingon County, VA" by Dorothy Tuttle ofMurray, UT (1991):
"HANS GEORGE SMITT/SMIDT -- Hans George Smitt/Smidt was born ca 1692probably in Falun, Kopparberg County, Sweden . He might have been theson of Petter Smitt who appears on the 1717 Tax List of Falun, Swed en.(Pg 214) Petter's occupation is a hatmaker and is listed with a wife, 3sons, 2 daughters and a maid in that year. Petter probably died in 1720as his wife is listed on the 1721 Tax List with one son and twodaughters. Her name is not listed and she is shown as widow of PetterSchmidt. Next to her is Petter Smidt, Jr, with a wife (Pg 958) who mightbe a son. Falun is about 125 miles northwest of present day Stockholm.The early parish records of Delacarlia (English for Dalarna) weredestroyed, therefore, these tax records are the earliest recordsavailable. We will not be able to prove relationships.
Hans married Maria Stalcop 3 Mar 1720 at Falun, Delcarlia,Kopparberg, Sweden. Maria was born 15 Mar 1697 in New Castle CoDelaware. (As a matter of interest New Castle Co. was orignially inPennsylvania. Delaware was actually part of William Penn's PennsylvaniaColony. Delaware did not become a state until 7 Dec 1787.) She left NewCastle Co. in Jun 1714 with her first husband, John Corelius Van De Verand the Rev. Ericus Tobias Bjork's famliy which included his wife,Christian and five of the Bjork children. Ann Stedham also accompaniedthem. Ann was the orphaned daughter of Lulof & Katherine Stedham.Katherin Stedham was first married to Andrew Stalcop and married LulofStedham after Andrew Stalcop died. Christina was a sister to Maria.Ericus Bjork was provost of the Swedish churches in America and was thefirst pastor of the Old Swedes Church (Holy Trinity Church) atWilmington, New Castle, Del. After sixteen years in America, Rev. Bjorkwas called back to Sweden by the King to be Provost Magister of theSwedish church at Falun, Delacaria (Pgs 221-223 Portraits of the Founderby Charles Knowles Bolton)
From "The Economist" dated 18 Jun 1988, we learn a little aboutStora Kopparberg, the world's oldest company who celebrated their 700thanniversary that month. It was a copper min e which was started 16 Jun1288 in the province of Delacarlia and in the town of Falun. Their minehad supplied much of the copper for the cathedral roofs of Europe & wenton to do the same for the copper bottoms of its navies. In 1640 it wasby far the largest industrial enterprise in Sweden and its chief sourceof export revenue. There is not much left of either the mountain or thecopper today. In 1687, the mountain, as full of tunnels as a Gruyere ,collapsed, turning the mound into a pit 90 meters deep (almost 300feet). An English visitor, J.F. Leopold in 1708 reported the mine wasdangerous and the work hard. Surface conditions in the town of Falunwere hardly better. The sulpurous fumes and smoke from the smeltin gwere over-powering. When the west wind blew them over the town, itbecame so dark that torches had to be lit at midday. (The article wasreceived from Shirley Smith of Rio Vista, Tx. Her husband is adescendant of Ericus Smith.)
The name Smitt/Smidt is not a Swedish name but more likely German.In a letter dated 4 Dec 1990 from Leslie Smith Collier of Dallas, TX(descendant of Ericus Smith), she wrote that George Hanson, who lecturesin the North Texas region on Swedish genealogy, told her that the ownersof the Stora Kopparberg copper mine were noted for hiring both German andDutch miners. He also suggested that at some point in the mine's historyan unidentified Mr. Smidt came to Falun from Germany to work in themining complex. Either he or a descendant left the mine (or was likelyhurt) and turned to hatmaking to support his family.
After just a few years in Sweden, Maria's husband died and she metand married Hans Heor ge Smitt/Smidt. Shortly after Hans & Maria movedto New Castle Co, DE, and on 12 Oct 1720 their first son, Peter Smith wasborn.
In 1725 Hans Smith was elected Church Warden for Old Swede's Churchand was dismissed from the office 1 Jul 1726 (pg 290 & 296 Old Swede'sChurch Records FHS Film #90827).
Apparently in 1729 certain members fo the Old Sweden's church triedto have Pastor Samuel Hessellius removed from his position in the colonyin New Castle County, for they made accusations against him to hissuperiors in Sweden. In a letter dated 1 Sep 1729, Hesselllius defendedhimself against these accusations. In part he said "..Indeed, I havesome suspicion too of Mr. Biork's brother-in-law, Hans Smith the hatter,and John Stalcop, who are not the best of men, and have made themselvesmy greatest enemies...they are both very poor writers and weak men, andcannot be credited..." (Pg 315-317 Records of Holy Trinity Church,Wilmington , DE 1890 & also Stalcoup Family of Delaware pg 55 FHL #511889)
On 7 June 1737 Hans Smith bought a pew room in the fifth pew in OldSwedes Church for 50 shillings. (Pg 370 Old Swedes Chruch Records FHLFilm #90827)
In 1737 the Swedes of New Castle issued a written protest to theerection of another market house in the lower part of town. His name wasincluded along with Charles Sprigner, Philip Vandever, Morten Justis,Timothy Stidam as Vestrymen of Holy Trinity Chruch. Twenty-six otherssigned the protest. (Pg 213 History of the Original Settlements of theDelaware by Benjamin Ferris)
On 19 Feb 1738/9 Hanse (Hans) Smith of Christina Hundred in theCounty of New Castle upon Delaware, Hatter and Mary his wife sold toWilliam Shipley of Wilmington in the said Hundred of Chirstiana yeomanfor 90 pounds a certain piece of Marsh situate in Christiana Hundredwhich Hans bought 10 Feb 1834-5 and recorded in the Rolls office in NewCastle in Book 455. The land was described as by Stalcop Gutt containing2 acres and a half. (Pg 182 Deeds of New Castle Co, DE)
On 15 Sep 1744 Hans Smith was elected vestryman and served in thisoffice until 5 May 1 748. (Pg 390 & 405 Records of Old Swedes Church FHLfilm #908217)
Maria was buried Nov 19 1750 as Hans Smidt's wife aged 54 years 10months. (Communicant Records Third Book, pg. 913 with the notation thtshe accompanied her brother-in-law, Provost Biork to Sweden in 1714, wasmarried at Fahlun to Hatmaker Hans Smidt, and came back here with him in1722. Communicant records Second Book pg 113 show that Hans Smith andhis wife, Maria, were here as early as Oct 1720 (Pg 196 Delaware HistoryBurial Records, Holy Trinity Church FHL #845765, item 5)
In 1752 he is listed as Hans Smidt, Hatmaker, along with othermembers of Christiana Congregation with a report as to those whounderstand, speak and read Swedish and English in Hans Peterson's Ward.Also listed were two sons, Andreas Smidt, Eric Smidt and BrigitaAnderson, the servant. Ericus married Brigita in 1753 (Pg 24 ArchivumAmericanum-Swedish churches on the Delaware)
He supposedly made his will 12 Dec 1753 and bequeathed 136 ac. ofland to his son, Erick Smith. In checking the wills of New CastleCounty, Bk. G records wills written from 1746 to 1751 and Bk. H from 1761to 1769. Ten years of wills are missing for some reason. The will wasreferred to in a deed dated 23 Nov 1756 wherein Erick & his wife Bridgetsell land to Thomas Shipley. In the recital of the deed it was broughtout that land was surveyed and laid out unto John Stalcop, SamuelPeterson & Andrew Stalcop which adjoined their other land in ChristinaHundred. Charles Pickering purchased one fourth part of the said tractand obtained from the commissioners of property, a warrant of reasurveybearing date 30th 4 month (Ju y) 1685. The afsd tract was resurveyed anddivided among the then owners viz Charles Pickering, Christiana Stalcop(in right of her late husband the afsd John Stalcop decd), Andrew Stalcop& Samuel Peterson as by the resurvey & division dated 20th 6 month 1685.Charles Pickering obtained a patent of confirmation for his part of theafsd tract dated 14th 8 month(Nov) 1687 and recorded in Rolls Office inLib 4 p 157d. Charles Pickering sold on 26 May 1693 to Christiana Stalcop& her son John Stalcop (son and heir of the afsd John Stalcop decd) allof his part of the afsd tract of land recorded in Lib. B pg 103. JohnStalcop (after his mother's decease sold on 29 Sep 1699 to CharlesSpringer all of the afsd tract of land surveyed & laid out to his motherthe afsd Christiana Stalcop together with part of the afsd patent as tomake the whole 272 acres. On 18 May 1703 John Stalcop did further grant& assure the afsd two pieces or parcels of land unto Charles Springer byindenture recorded in Lib G pg 576d. Johas Stalcop (son and heir of theafsd John Stalcop) and Elena his wife released unto Charles Springer on11 Jan 1729 their claim of the afsd two pieces of land. Charles Springersold unto Hanse Smith a certain piece or part of the afsd two pieces orparcels of land containing 136 acres on 4 Nov 1732 recorded in Lib G pg657U. The land was described as being by a corner of Samuel Milner'sland andby Andrew Stalcop's tract. Hanse Smith by his last will andtestament bearing date 12 Dec 1753 amongst other things therien containeddid give & bequeath the same tract of land and plantation with all theimporvements thereon to his son Erich Smith and the said will duly proven& remianing in the General Registers office in New Castle. The land wassold to Thomas Shipley for 306 pounds and the deed reorded 5 Dec 1788.It was proven by John Stalcop. (DB pg 316 Book G Vol 2 FHL film #6567).
Hans was buried 27 Dec 1753 (Communicant Records-Third Book pg 913with the notation that Hans Smidt, born in Sweden, in Fahlun Town, canehere to this land in the year 1720. Was the first ancestor of theSwedish family of Smidt on the Christina, Hatmaker. Died ofconsumption. (p. 199 Delaware History Burial Reocrds, Holy TrinityChurch--Old Swedes Church)"
[here the author lists the children of Hans and Maria as recorded inthis history]
Leslie Collier's records reiterates the above tale with additionalsources references.
The following is the first will of Hans Smidt (Translated by Ingrid Ulff)Uppsala Landsarkiv (Regional Archives of Uppsals) Falu Radhusratt ochMagistrat (The Magistrate's Court of Fahlun) Minutes of March 15, 1720:
"On the same day the hatmaker Hans Georg Smidt handed in the Willwhich he has written to his Sister Magdalena Smidt, with the request thatit be entered into the minutes, of the following wording.
Whereas my late father, the former hatmaker, Master Petter Schmidt,has departed this life, and whereas no assessment or valuation has yetbeen drawn up among the heirs regarding his property and whereas I, inthe name of the Lord, have made up my mind to betake myself together withmy dear wife Maria Stallkop from this borough to American to further trymy fortune there; consequently, I have deliberately and with my dearwife's affirmative and consent hereby wished to bequeathe and present tomy Sister Magdalena Schmidt my share of the inheritance from my latefather that has already become due, my firm wish moreover being (if itwould please God mercifully to prolong my lifetime after that of my stillliving dear Mother Magdalena Huwalt, and if any share in the inheritancefrom her might be due to me) that my said dear Sister accepts that shareas well and keeps it for herself, so that she, in total, is and will belawful heiress on my behalf both to the paternal and the maternalinheritance in movable and real estate, and that she employs and usessame as her possession in perpetuity, at her own discretion and pleasure,and all this in consideration of the fact that my said Sister not onlystill is incompetent and unprovided for, but also has promised to stay athome with our dear Mother, helping her with all due daughterly duty anddeference, and letting her remain until her dying hour in unsidturbedpossession of the small property left from our late Father; but should,contrary to expectation, this my venturesome journey prove unsuccessful,which God mercifully may turn to my own good, so that I, after some timefrom now, come home; in which case I would need my inheritance myself,then I reserve to myself the right to have it wholly returned, whereupon,in the meantime and when opportunity arises a proper Specification shouldbe drawn up for my future security; In faith wereof and in order thatnone other than my sister Magdalena should get the benefit of the presentwill, I affix my own signature hereunder and request these worthy men aswitnesses, which took place in Fahlun on the 15th of March Ano 1720.
