Napoleonic war and Northumberland history interest: A large archive of hand written letters and duplicates mostly made by and addressed to Sir David William Smith, 1st Baronet, c.1811-19, in his role as Justice of the Peace and land agent to the Duke of Northumberland at Alnwick Castle, to include letters relating to Northumbrian men, mostly in military service, sent to and received from the War Office, Office of Ordnance, the Admiralty Office, some relating to deserters from the Northumbrian Militia and the claiming of prizes, Lloyd's Committee Room regarding subscriptions and the Patriotic Fund, Excise Office, some official documents received are printed, of note being a poster for 'Unclaimed Shares of Army Prize-Money, Deputy Treasurers' Office, November 25th: 1816'.CONDITION: David William Smith was the son of Colonel John Smith and his wife, Anne. Born in Salisbury, Wiltshire, he joined his father's regiment, 5th Regiment of Foot, as an ensign in 1779. He married his first wife in 1788 and rejoined his father's regiment at Detroit in 1790 (at that time, Detroit was still under British rule). Smith served on the land board in the Hesse District (named after the Hesse region of Germany and subsequently part of Quebec) in 1791 and 1792, was Acting Deputy Surveyor General in 1792 and Surveyor General of Upper Canada in 1798. He resigned from the army and, in 1792, was elected to the first Parliament of Upper Canada (part of British Canada established in 1791 to govern the central third of the lands in British North America) representing Suffolk and Essex, and went on in 1796 to be elected for the 3rd Riding of Lincoln. Smith became a Member of the Executive Council of Upper Canada in 1796 and in 1800 was elected to the Legislative Assembly representing Norfolk, Oxford and Middlesex, becoming Speaker from 1796-1801.An influential and wealthy man, he owned 20,000 acres of land in Ontario, was an established politician, businessman and known to be fair-minded. He was even the author of the snappy-titled book: "A Short Topographical Description of His Majesty's Province of Upper Canada in North America to which is annexed a Provincial Gazeteer"!It would appear he was well-respected, and yet he turned his back on Canada and returned to England in 1802 where he became Land Agent for the Duke of Northumberland and was made a Baronet in 1821. Whether he left Canada due to some political disagreement or his health is unclear, however he did frequently suffer from fever and correspondence within the Dickson, Archer & Thorp collection does often refer to his health although Smith did not die until 1837.Condition: Most of the letters are in reasonable condition with some occasional chipping and splitting to ends of the paper and a few documents stained.
