In Scotland where they were originally from, it was spelled Naesmyth,
descendants of Robert the BRUCE. The name is said to have originated in this way: between 8 Sep 1249 , when Alexander III of Scotland was crowned King, and 16 Mar 1286 (when Alexander died). an aide-de-camp of the King, on the eve of a battle, was required to mend the King's armor. Though a man of powerful physique and a brave warrior he was unsuccessful as a mechanic. For his prowess, great daring and achievement, in battle he was knighted by the King with this laconic comment, "Although he is nae smyth, he is a brave gentleman." The armorial bearings of the family refer to this remark: a drawn sword between two war mantels broken, with the motto in old Scotch "Not by knoavery but by bravery." Thomas, whose father was probably a William because he named his oldest son William, was born in what is now York County, PA, 22 Nov 1741.
