Notes |
- "Oulde" John Mott 1570-1656 Immigrant
Most of what is known of Oulde John Mott come from articles published in the "American Genealogist" back in 1942-43.
John Mott was born in about 1570 in Saffron Waldon, Essex, England, possibly the son of John Mott and Frances Gutter. Saffron Waldon appears to have been a town larger that a mere village. There was an old castle there at the time and at leat one house from medieval times still stands. There would have been more opportunities to make a living from just farming, although we don't know what he did for a living. He was apparently married several times, to Elizabeth. Catherine and possibly Mary.
John was already an old man when he came to the New World, his son Adam having arrived first with his family. John was made a Freeman at Aquidneck in 1638, the year of it's founding, so at the time he must have been relatively healthy. Aquidneck is the large island of the state of Rhode Island and some very interesting people lived there, such as Anne and William Hutchinson and John Dyer. It would have been a collection of free-thinkers, Quakers and others who were not welcome or comfortable in Massachusetts. John Mott had land in 1639, but by 1644, the town of Portsmouth was providing for his care. he was apparently desperately ill in 1652 when the town ordered that a stone house be built "for the more comfortable being" of oulde John Mott in the winter. The house was not enough, so on the 23 January 1654/55 the town shipped him off to Barbados Island with admonition to the ship owner to bring him back if he "cannot be received there". He was brought back and son Adam was to provide him with a cow and a supply of corn in addition to what the town supplied.
