  • Notes 
    • This is the RHODE ISLAND Adam, 1622 m. Mary Lott. This is NOT the NY Adam Mott #LRD9-36N
      When Adam Mott was born in 1623 in Saffron Walden, Essex, England, his father, Adam, was 27 and his mother, Elizabeth, was 23. He was married three times and had five sons and 14 daughters. He died on April 5, 1693, in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, at the age of 70.
      Adam Mott was born in 1623 in Saffron Walden, Essex, England, to Elizabeth Creel, age 23, and Adam Mott, age 27.

      His brother Jonathan was born in 1626 in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England, when Adam was 3 years old.

      His sister Elizabeth was born on May 5, 1629, in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England, when Adam was 6 years old.

      His mother Elizabeth passed away in 1632 in Essex, England, at the age of 32.

      His father Adam Mott I immigrated to the USA with his second wife Sarah Jennings Lott (1604-1661), her daughter Mary Lott (1631-1712) (by her first husband Englebert Pieters Lott), Adam Mott II (son of Elizabeth Creel), John Mott (1626-1653), & Elizabeth Mott (1629-1694) in the year 1635. They arrived in Roxbury, Massachusetts.

      Adam Mott married his step-sister (not a blood relative) Mary Lott in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, in October 1647 when he was 24 years old.

      Adam Mott arrived on board the Defense in 1635 with his father, Adam, stepmother Sarah and siblings (along with Mary Lott, Sarah's daughter by her first marriage). They arrived in Massachusetts, but moved to RI later. He eventually married his step sister Mary Lott (not his real sister).
