The only son of George Smith (1757–1831) and Rebecca née Brett (died 1843), he was seated at Camer, near Meopham, and lord of the manors of Luddesdowne and Dodmore.[3] Appointed a Justice of the Peace and Deputy Lieutenant, Masters Smith served as High Sheriff of Kent for 1849/50.[4]

He was succeeded in the family estates by his nephew, who assumed the name and arms of Smith-Masters by Royal Licence in 1862.[6]
