Hirschi wrote: "We do know his [William Grant’s] wife was named Elizabeth. In 1920, a researcher, named Mrs. Pattie, said her maiden name was Mott. I have searched many places and have not found her maiden name. Mrs. Pattie stated Elizabeth Mott to be the oldest daughter of George Mott. When I checked for records on Elizabeth Mott, daughter of George Mott, I discovered Elizabeth Mott married John Fossaker before 1690 and died in 1712 with her sister executor of her estate. Therefore, Elizabeth Mott cannot be the wife of William Grant", p. 13.
