There is little, doubt that this Thomas Smith was the father of Henry Smith, Esq. an Alderman of London, who is buried at Wandsworth, and whose extensive charitable benefactions in Surrey and elsewhere are universally known. He bore the same arms with a difference, as appears by the funeral certificate, in the College of Arms, Register i. 23. 30, and there are many other circumstances which tend to strengthen such a conjecture." It appears from the _Book of Quarterly Payments_ from the 29th to the 33rd Henry VIII. in the library of the Royal Society, that Smith was a Page of the Chamber, and received 10_l._ _per annum_ for his wages; and it is manifest from these entries that like Smeton and the two Williamses, he was a peculiar favourite of Henry, for all his apparel was paid for out of the privy purse, and he accompanied the King to Calais in October 1532.

Apparently Sir William Spencer of Althorp, ancestor of the Duke of Marlborough and Earl Spencer. He was knighted in 1529, and in the 23rd and 24th Henry VIII. was Sheriff of Northamptonshire. Sir William died, however, on the 22nd June 1532, a month before his servant is said to have brought a present to the King. His son and heir was then very young, hence these gifts were probably sent by his mother or guardians. Spert Thomas, 171. Spruce, [_i. e._ Prussia] costs of going into the land of, 181.
