There were two men named Adam Mott who emigrated from England around the same time. This profile represents the Adam Mott born about 1623, who was the son of Adam Mott born 1594 at Saffron, Walden, England. The family emigrated from Horseheath, Cambridge to New England on the ship Defence in 1635. They lived first in Roxbury, Massachusetts, then removed to Hingham in 1636, settling in Portsmouth, Rhode Island in 1638.[1][2] The Rhode Island Adam Mott married his stepsister Mary Lott. There is a large Lott family in Long Island, New York, thus perhaps contributing to a bit of the confusion between the two Adam Mott lines.

The other Adam Mott, born 1620/1, emigrated from Essex County, arrived in 1638 on the ship Bevis, and settled in New York.[3] He was the son of James Mott and Grace Thurgar.[4]

The two Adam Motts were first cousins, sons of brothers Adam Mott and James Mott.
