He was the second and youngest, but only surviving son of Sir William Smyth, 1st Baronet, of Redcliff in Buckinghamshire, by his second wife, a daughter of the Master in Chancery Sir Nathaniel Hobart.[1] He inherited the baronetcy in 1697.[2]

He was a Member of the Irish Parliament for Kilkenny City from 1703 to 1713[11] and for Duleek from 1713 to 1715.[11] He also served as Ranger of the Park, Dublin, and died there on 20 June 1732. He was unmarried and the baronetcy became extinct on his death.[1]
