I am looking for more information on my ancestor Isaac Smallwood. Ancestor Findings provided me with the following information which confirms verbal Smallwood family information that Isaac Smallwood moved from Charles County, MD to Gloucester County, NJ near the end of the Revolutionary War.

Can anyone provide me with clues to more family members in MD? Most of us New Jersey Smallwood descendents are stopped at Isaac not being able to relate him to anyone in Maryland.

Isaac was reportedly born in England about 1718 which would have made him a older man when he left Maryland. He fathered at least two children: William Smallwood (no further info) and Samuel Perry Smallwood (born about 1740 in Port Deposit, Cecil County, MD passing on 14 Feb 1792 probably in New Jersey. Samuel Perry Smallwood married Mary Weldon so I am looking for Weldon information as well.


Only listing I could find in this database:

Do you have any information on Abel Smallwood who married Orne Ireland on July 26 1826 in Gloucester County?

Curt Miller

I have Abel Smallwood being the son of Weldon (b. 1771 d. 1822) & Sophia Smallwood . Weldon is son of Samuel Perry and Mary Weldon.

Abel siblings are:
Samuel Smallwood
Levi Smallwood b, Abt, 1797 in NJ
Mary Smallwood

I show Abel having a son John.

That is all I have.

Thanks for your reply.

My Great Grandmother is Abigail Smallwood born in New Jersey. The only Abigail Smallwood I can find in the census is the daughter of Abel and Naomi Smallwood in Egg Harbor Township. Abel’s age in 1850 is consistent with that of Abel Smallwood in Gloucester County in 1840. The only other Abel Smallwood I can find in the census is the son of this Abel Smallwood. Abel does not have a son John living with him in 1850 but John may be in his twenties in 1850.
