or George Washington's birth. He
was son of Bayne Smallwood and
Priscilla Heberd. a Virginia lady His
rather was a merchant. planter and a
member of the Maryland Legislature
and at one time presiding officer Of
the Court or Common Pleas. William
Smallwood was sent to school in Eng
land. attending first a school kent by
Thomas Rebask OF Kendale. West
moreland. He completed his schooling
at Eton."
Gen. Smallwood's military service
began as an officer in the colonial con-
from Maryland in the French
and Indian War. On April "a. 177S.
he set out from Annapolis to Boston
with 1,400 men. and these troops be-
came part of Lord Strings brigade.
In the Long Island campaign he
shared In the distinction which came
to the Maryland Line. and in the New
Jersey campaign his troops took part
In the important battles. On the death
OF Baron de Kalb, Smallwood was pro-
NOTED TO the command OF a division.
After the fighting at Princeton and
Trenton, Washington noted in his
correspondence that Small
woods troops have been reduced to a
mere handful Of men. but they took
part In the engagements with their
usual gallantry and won great re-
nown."
