Browell's Estate. George Browell was one of the parties to 

 the suit of 1615; in 1628 his name appears as a copyholder. 

 Amongst the Hauxley deeds, is one of feoffment dated 14th 



^^ Janet or Jane Smith before 1603 had married John Robinson, for 45 

 Elizabeth she signs a receipt and mentions " Roger Smith my sonne." — 

 Rev. John Hodgson's Collection. 



Robert Smith was a petitioner in the suit of 1615, and in 1630 held a 

 copyhold of the yearly value of £1 Is. 3d. A Roger Smith the same year 

 holding a copyhold of the value of £1 3s. 7d. In 1663 Wm. Smith only, is 

 rated, and that at £10— representing one of the 14 farms of the township. 



Smith's lands stretched down to the link near where is now the public 

 cemetery. Out of the funds left by the last Mr Smith, his trustees pur- 

 chased Holdsworth Low farm from Mrs Wellwood's representatives. 



The history of the family shall be reserved for the township of Togston, 

 where was their seat. Their lands in Amble under the will of Mr T. G. 

 Smith, the last male of the direct line, are now held by her kinsman Mr 

 Lawson Smith, though the family is represented by Mr Eustace Smith, 

 formerly of Gosforth, sometime M.P. for Tynemonth.
