INTRODUCTORY NOTL
1155655
The matter comprised in the following pages has been
segregated from a large mass of genealogical material con-
cerning the Motts of New York and New England that has
been gathered by the writer during the last fifteen years
with the intention of publishing a comprehensive history of
the descendants of Adam Mott of Hempstead.
With this end in view, in 1899, a brief sketch of the
earlier generations of the Long Island family was published
by him in pamphlet form, followed by a second, in 1906,
somewhat amplified in its scope, both intended to arouse
interest in the subject, and to enlist the co-operation of
those allied by blood and marriage. To the edition of 1906
the reader is referred for a more extended account of the
Hempstead patriarch and his ten sons than it is pertinent
to include in this publication. The descendants of two of
the younger sons have been indicated in detail by Cornell
in his very interesting book, "Adam and Anne Mott." The
descent in the male lines from another son has been given by
■the writer in volume xxxvi of the "New York Genealogical
and Biographical Record" (1905). And in the September, 1906,
number of the "Genealogical Exchange" (Buffalo, N. Y.),
may be found a condensed sketch of the Dutchess County
branch descended from one of the older sons, that was early
established in Nine Partners, and at the close of the Revo-
lutionary War, for political causes, removed to the Canadian
line.
iv IntroductoryNote
Since the publication of the 1906 edition of the pamphlet,
very much matter has been collected by the writer relating
to early families of the name other than that of the Hemp-
stead settler. Of two of these, the Portsmouth, R. I., and
the Scituate, Mass., families, brief mentions are made in
the following pages. Early in the Colonial period, follow-
ing the natural trend of migration, scions of both of these
races, apparently more enterprising in spirit, distributed
themselves along the Connecticut seaboard, merging with
those from the more conservative Long Island stock who
had crossed the Sound. So that, by the middle of the
eighteenth century, southern New England and New York,
together with New Jersey, had become the home of numerous
Motts whose origin it is well nigh impossible at this time
to determine without a somewhat comprehensive study of
all the groups. The enterprise has proved so formidable
in its character that its consummation has been delayed
much beyond anticipation, and must be the writer's explan-
ation for issuing at this time, in advance of the completed
whole, this account of one of the Dutchess County families.
FAMILY HI5T0RY
It was in or about the year 1762 that James Mott re-
moved with his family from Long Island, in the State of
New York, to the Nine Partners Patent in Dutchess County,
on the east side of the Hudson River. A journey of seventy-
five miles "as the crow flies," with wife and at least five
young children, and with the personal effects of a household —
dependent on the slow progress of an ox-drawn farm wagon —
was no trifling undertaking. The course was probably to
Hempstead Harbor, on the Sound, thence by barge across
water to a suitable landing place, perhaps at New Rochelle,
from which the long and tedious march proceeded over the
hills, through the farms and woods the length of Westchester
County, to its destination within the bounds of the Nine
Partners Patent. The family, at the time of the migration,
was made up of the father, James Mott, then in his thirty-
ninth year, his wife Anna, thirty-four, James, hardly twelve,
John, nine, Jemima, seven, Zebulon, five, and Anna, two. If
Jesse were born at the time, he could have been but a babe
in arms. The Nine Partners Patent was already the home
of more than one household of Motts. Two years earlier,
Joseph, the grandson of the patriarch of the Long Island
family, Adam Mott, with two sons already at man's estate,
had settled in Crom Elbow Precinct, on the banks of the
Hudson, and but ten miles distant from the spot that was to
become the home of James and Anna. Back, among the
hills had gathered a little colony of Long Island and Con-
necticut families, sturdy, industrious farming people, not a
few belonging to the community of Friends. The place was
at almost the geographical centre of Dutchess County, in
the region drained by the tributaries of Wappinger Creek,
that itself tumbles into the great river below Poughkeepsie,
and in a precinct that subsequently (in 1788) became the
township of Washington. The neighborhood had been settled
as early as 1750, and the presence of a Rogers family there,
possibly relatives of Anna, may have been a controlling
reason in the selection of the Mott home. The settlement,
now known as Mechanic, was on the direct road that ran
2 MoTT Genealogy
from the river to the State line. Here Samuel Mabbett
about that year, 1760, built a store; later a Friends' Meeting
House was erected, and that was followed by the famous
Nine Partners School, opened in 1796. The Mott farm was
on the south side of the road mentioned. Here James Mott
and his wife Anna passed the rest of their days. Other
children came to them, Rhoda, Samuel, Martha and Deborah,
the last born only four months before the father died in 1770,
at the age of 47. Tradition is silent concerning the characters
of James and Anna Mott, but the lives led by their sons and
grandsons bear eloquent testimony to the moral and Christian
atmosphere that pervaded the household. The father's death
left heavy burdens upon the widow. James, the eldest son,
had just passed his twentieth birthday, and was to be her
mainstay in the management of the farm. John, the next,
was but seventeen, and Jemima fifteen, the others, seven
in number, all too young to be of service, and all needing
a mother's watchful care. The first break in the family
circle, following the father's death, was the taking away of
the little child Deborah, who died two years later. Then
came the years of anxiety and unrest, when rumors of wars
penetrated even to this peace loving community. The strip-
ling Zebulon, entered the service of the State and did duty
on the river in skirmishes with the Tories, and in the efforts
of the militia in the prevention of reinforcements reaching
Burgoyne. In 1780 John married, and the next year Zebulon
followed his example. In 1783 Jesse left the family home
and went north to Saratoga County where he soon married
and settled. In 1791 Zebulon followed his brother to Sara-
toga, and in 1804 John removed to Coeymans. Four years
later, James died, leaving a widow and nine children, of
whom the boy Denton, the eldest, was but nineteen; the
children of this family, with their mother, in course of time,
went away from Washington, leaving there, of the original
household, only Samuel, the youngest son of James and Anna,
who continued to occupy the farm which had been his
father's, augmented by subsequent purchases of his own,
until his death in 1830. In 1831 Samuel's widow and children
sold the estate then consisting of 147 /4 acres, and the last
descendants in the male line of James and Anna Mott passed
out of the history of Dutchess County.
MoTT Genealogy 3
The fortunes of the several sons of the family may be
followed in the pages of this Genealogy. It is a subject of
deep regret to the writer that he has been unable to discover
evidence sufficient to indisputably prove the parentage of
James Mott, or even to indicate with certainty the stock
from which he came. The earliest contemporary record of
him is found in the Huntington Church books, wherein it
is written that "James Mott, Jr.," "of Hempstead," was mar-
ried, Feb. 2, 1747/8, to Anna Rogers of Huntington. That
this was the Dutchess County couple is established without
any doubt by the family record in the hands of the Saratoga
descendants. One, then, naturally turns to Hempstead for
the earlier history of the family. Just what was meant by
the appellation "Jr." in the marriage record is not clear.
It is only evidence that an older man of the same name was
a resident of the neighborhood, who may or may not have
been his father, and possibly not even a relative. The record
in Saratoga places his birth in Oct., 1723, and certainly there
was living in Hempstead at that time, and for some years
later, a James Mott, son of John, and grandson of the patri-
arch Adam of Hempstead. This James was in possession
of a recorded cattle mark, and occupied in 1727 land which
his father had conveyed to him shortly before, adjoining his
own (John's) at Near Rockaway. This is the last known of
him; but in 1758 one "James Mott, Jr.," recorded a cattle
mark that bore so close a relation to those of the first James
and his father, John, as to make it extremely probable that
they were of one family. Moreover, the names of James
Mott and James, Jr., disappear from the Hempstead records
after the year 1758, suggesting the death of the older man,
and the removal of the younger. With the facts relating to
the Dutchess County man entirely harmonizing with the
assumption that he was of the Adam Mott stock, it will be
interesting at this juncture, to briefly consider the history of
the three earlier generations of that family
Adam Mott* had come to this country sometime before
1645, from the county of Essex, England. As in his will of
1 68 1 he declared that he was then "about sixty years of age,"
* This Adam Mott must not be confounded with the other Adam, who
had come from Cambridge in Old England, to Roxbury in the Massa-
4 MoTT Genealogy
it follows that 162 1 was approximately the date of his birth,
and that he was twenty-six when, in 1647, he married in the
Dutch Church of New Amsterdam, Jane Hulet, a maid from
the county of Bucks. He early removed to Long- Island,
eventually establishing himself on the North Shore, near the
head of Hempstead Harbor, and here he ended his days, probab-
ly soon after the year 1682, leaving a widow, Elizabeth, and a
large family of children. John, who was one of the sons of Jane
Hulet, was born, undoubtedly on Long Island, but before
Hempstead had become the family home, about the year 1658
(he was 23 in 1681). In the division of the Hempstead lands
he became the owner of a large tract in the southern part of
the township at what was a little later called Near Rockaway,
and this was his home. He married Sarah, the daughter of
Capt. John Seaman, and was living as late as 1727, when he
conveyed, by deed, his homestead to his son Patrick, mention-
ing therein "a deed of gift bearing date with the present" of
adjoining land then in the occupation of his son James. There
is no record of the names and birth dates of his children, but
in the original manuscript census of Hempstead, taken in 1698,
they were enumerated as John, Jeames, Sarah and Martha, the
last being probably very young. Patrick and Henry were born
later. It is probable that "Jeames" was born between 1685
and 1690, perhaps at the earlier date, for in 1706, when he then
would have been twenty-one, he recorded his cattle mark.
There is no record in Hempstead of the marriage of James, nor
does the christian name of his wife appear. We may surmise
that he continued to occupy the farm at Near Rockaway that
his father had conveyed to him by the " deed of gift ". It is
highly probable that he had a son of the same name who in
1758 recorded a cattle mark very similar to his own. And it is
very reasonable to believe that this James, Jr., was the man
who married Anna Rogers. The sale of the Long Island farm
is not on record. Possibly at the time of the migration, James,
the father, was still alive, for he would have been not more
chusetts Bay Colony in 1635, ^nd three years later removed to Portsmouth,
Rhode Island. By his wife Sarah he had sons, Jacob, Eleazer and Gershom,
and had brought here three older sons by a previous wife, John, Adam and
Jonathan. Thompson, in his History of Long Island, makes the Hemp-
stead Adam belong to this family, and the error has been repeated over
and again by other writers.

than seventy-seven years of age. Or, just as likely, James
parted with his interest in the paternal acres to a brother or
brothers who, continuing to occupy and cultivate the lands,
saw no necessity for recording the instrument, even if one
had been executed.
While John Mott was mowing his salt-marsh acres at
Near Rockaway, his older brother James, who had been
baptized in the Dutch Church of New Amsterdam, Oct. 15,
165 1, was living, in somewhat different surroundings, in
Mamaroneck, across the Sound. In 1670 he married Mary
Redman, the step-daughter of John Richbell, one of the
leading spirits of that community, an opulent merchant who
had formerly been at Charlestown, Mass., and was engaged
in the shipping trade with the West Indies. The Mamaroneck
Census of 1698 gave to James Mott children, then living,
Elizabeth, Grace, James, Phebe and Martha. He was styled
in contemporaneous records "captain," and in 1702 was a
vestryman of the English church at Rye where the Episco-
palians of Mamaroneck attended service. His wife Mary
had died at some date prior to 1698, and he married, second,
Elizabeth, to whom were granted letters of administration
on his estate, Nov. 27, 1707. Of his son James but little is
known. He inherited under his grandmother Richbell's
will of 1700, appears as a resident of Mamaroneck from time
to time, and March 27, 1735, "affirmed" as to his father's
signature. This is the last known of him. A James Mott,
yeoman of Mamaroneck, perhaps the same, was married at
Flushing, 9th of 3d mo., 1717, to Jane Burling, who was born
17th of 5th mo., 1684, daughter of Edward and Grace, Friends.
A James Mott of Mamaroneck died there 13th of 2nd mo.,
1773, a member of the same persuasion, and William Sutton
was constituted the administrator of his estate, but the records
disclose nothing as to his identity or his heirs. It was
possible, so far as the dates alone are considered, for our
"James Mott, Jr.," "of Hempstead," who was born in 1723
and married Anna Rogers in Huntington in 1748, to have
been the son of the second James of Mamaroneck, by his
wife Jane Burling; but thus far no evidence is adduced that
renders it likely. It would seem more probable that the male
line of the Mamaroneck branch died out or removed. The
James Mott who was living in Mamaroneck in 1814, and later.

prominent as a Friend, husband of the famous Lucretia Mott,
was a descendant of Adam Mott, the youngest son of the
Hempstead patriarch by his last wife, and not a descendant,
as has been carelessly asserted, of the earlier James of
Mamaroneck.
Besides the two sons of Adam of Hempstead already
mentioned, James' and John,' the records give him eight
others: Adam,' the first born, Henry,' Joseph,' Gershom,'
Richbell,' Charles,' William,' and a younger Adam.' None of
these could, presumably, have been the progenitor of our James.
The oldest, Adam,' left an only son of the same name, who
was of Staten Island, with an only son Richbell.' Henry
died in his father's lifetime, leaving three children, probably
daughters. Joseph' was of Cow Neck, on the North Shore,
had a large family, of whom but one, Joseph, Jr., was of an
age to have enabled him to have been the father of our James,
and his posterity is known. Gershom' followed the Bowne
family into New Jersey, and the history of his son James' is
known. Richbell' was of Great Neck, with sons Edmund,'
RichbelP and Richard,* whose families are known, the latter
being the father of a James,* merchant of New York, some-
time of Mamaroneck, and father of Richard," the Quaker
preacher. Charles' was of Cow Neck, and while there is
much uncertainty as to the fate of his sons, it is safe to
assert that neither could have been the father of our James.
William' was of Great Neck, and the ancestor of Valentine''
Mott, the famous surgeon of New York. He had but one
son, William,' born in 1709 (too late to have been the father
of our James), whose descendants have been given by the
writer in the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record,
volume xxxvi. Adam,' the youngest son of the first Adam,
lived and died at Cow Neck, and was the father of but two
sons, Adam" and Stephen.'
Mention has been made on a preceding page of another
Adam Mott, who was at Portsmouth, Rhode Island, in 1638.
He died in 1661, leaving sons John,' Adam,' Jonathan,' Jacob,'
Eleazer' and Gershom.' Probably, though from different
counties in England, the two Adams were of a common stock.
The history of the Portsmouth man, and that of his second
son Adam,' is so well known that it is impossible, to-day, for
either man to be confounded with the Hempstead patriarch.
MoTT Genealogy 7
Very little concerning the Portsmouth family has been pub-
lished, and the following fragmentary notes are inserted
here, because of the possibility that "James, Jr.," of Hemp-
stead came from that race.
John,' the eldest son of Adam, born in 162 1, was living
in Portsmouth in 1655, Adam.' the second, born in 1623,
married Mary Lott, was dead in 17 10, leaving two sons,
Adam,' born 1650, died unmarried, 1676, and John,' born
1670-1, who, apparently, died unmarried. Jonathan," the
third son, born in 1626, was alive in Portsmouth in 1653.
Jacob," the fourth son, born in 1633, was of Portsmouth,
married Joanna Slocum, and had sons, Jacob,' born 1661, and
Samuel,' born 1679. Eleazer," the fifth son, was alive in 1661.
Gershom," the youngest, born 1635-40, was of Portsmouth,
and had sons Gershom' and John.' Lines of descent from
several of these men of the third generation have been traced.
Their descendants were in Portsmouth, Kingston and New-
port, R. I., and others moved westward along the Connecticut
shore, many of them having joined the community of Friends.
Still another family of Mott, apparently not very nearly
related to either of the preceding, was that of Nathaniel,
who was an early settler at Scituate and Braintree, Mass. He
married, 1656, Hannah, the widow of Peter Shooter, and had
sons: John," born 1659; Nathaniel," born 1661; Samuel," born
1668-9; Edward," born 1673, and Ebenezer," born 1675. Of
these John, Nathaniel and Edward settled on Block Island.
John" married Mercy or Maria Tosh, and two daughters were
born to them there, but nothing appears of him on the records
after 1688. Nathaniel" married 1682, Hepzibah Winslow, and
a second wife, 1691-2, Sarah Tosh, by whom he had sons John,'
born 1700; Nathaniel," born 1706, and Edward,' born 1709-10.
Samuel," was of Lyme, Conn., and had sons: Samuel,' born
1693-4; John,' born 1698; Experience,' born 1703-4, and
Nathaniel,' born 1707. Edward" married 1695, Penelope Tosh,
and died intestate 1737 (either he or his nephew of the same
name was sometime at Westerly, R. L), leaving no record of
issue. Ebenezer," the youngest son of Nathaniel, married
1 700-1, Grace Vinal, had son John,' born 1707, who was the
ancestor of the Motts of Boston. Male descendants of the
Block Island men are still there. The line has been prolific,
and not a few moved to Connecticut and Long Island towns.
8 MoTT Genealogy
While it is not impossible for our James of Hempstead to
have been the son of one of the earlier wanderers from Block
Island, it is more likely than not that his origin must be
sought elsewhere.
Family tradition has its value, of course, but unless sup-
ported by records, should not be accepted unconditionally.
It is the common belief among the descendants of the Hemp-
stead patriarch that the family is of French Huguenot
extraction, and that the name was originally De Mott or
Le Mott. The De Motts of early New York and vicinity
seem to have been a Dutch family, and certainly there is no
evidence whatever that they were related to the English
Motts of the same period. In a few instances De Motts of
Hempstead and Hudson River towns have dropped the pre-
fix, and swelled the number of nomadic Motts that are the
despair of the genealogist. If there is any foundation for the
Huguenot story, the exodus from France must have taken
place before the period of the settlement of this country, for
numerous county histories of England indicate that the name,
spelled just as Adam Mott spelled his, was widely scattered
there. The descendants of James Mott of this History^
almost without exception, vigorously maintain that he was
born in " Long Island," frankly acknowledging their inability
to assign him to any recognized lines of the name. The
single exception as vigorously asserts that he was a resident
of New Rochelle, and either a member or the son of a
member of the Huguenot colony there before his departure
into the Dutchess County hills in 1762. This would seem to
give color to the surmise that he was son of that James of
Mamaroneck who married Jane Burling; and the fact that the
recently erected Huguenot monument in New Rochelle bears
the name of James Mott as a member of that community
gives it additional weight. On the contrary, the Saratoga
descendants, who have preserved the family records, deny
the existence of any tradition in their midst that he ever
lived at New Rochelle, or was identified with Huguenot in-
terests or influences there.
The weight of evidence, such as it is, is in favor of the
descent of "James Mott, Jr.," "of Hempstead," from Adam, the
Hempstead patriarch, through his son John,' and grandson
James,' as has been outlined in these pages.

Revolution, stationed on the Hudson, in his home county, in
skirmishes with the Tories. Later he was identified with the
Friends in the Nine Partners Meeting, and their records are
authority for his removal to Saratoga County, 14.9. 1791. He
