Merged General Note:
Among the many branches of the Motts that are not, as yet, to be
connected, indisputably, with the parent stock is a large detachment from
one John of Hempstead by his wife Rebecca. He was born as early as in
1685, and died 1750-1, at Hempstead. It is likely that he was the oldest
son of John [2]. Proof of the connection should be sought among the
private records about Hempstead. His Will, proved 1751, furnishes the only
authentic record of the family that has yet appeared. His children were
John [4], died in his father's life time, Samuel [4], Jacob [4], Sarah
[4], Martha [4], Jehu [4], Rebecca [4], Phebe [4], and Micajah [4].

On page 2, column 4 of the 1698 Hempstead Census there appears the name of
"Lef John Mott." Immediately following that is the name of "sarah mott,"
and the next name is "John mott Jr." His name is followed by the names of
Jeams mott, Sarah mott and Martha mott. The younger siblings would
apparently have either been to young to be counted or not yet born. As
this John Mott was born about 1685, this coincides well with the data in
the Census, and John Jr. would have been about thirteen at that time. I am
convinced that this makes the connection even though either Jim Rubins was
not aware of this or he felt it was not sufficient to make the connection.
