James MOTT, born 1596 in Saffron, Walden, Essex, England. He was the son of John MOTT and Catherine (Maiden name unknown) MOTT.
He married Grace THURGAR Abt. 1620 in Essex, England. Grace THURGAR, born 1604 in England; died 1626.
Children include
"Another Adam Mott came to Newbury, Mass., and later migrated to Long Island. In the shipping list in 1638 he was aged 19 years, and in his will in 1681 he called himself aged about 60.
"At his marriage to his first wife, Jane Hallet, in 1647, the Dutch Church records of New Amsterdam enter him as from Essez County. This Adam Mott had children by his first wife named James, Grace, Henry, John, Joseph and Gershom.
"The Saffron Walden Parish Registers contain the following baptisms of children of James and Grace Mott:
"It will be noted that the Adam baptized 1620/1 was of the proper age to be the Long Island settler, and that the names James, Grace and Henry correspond. James Mott, father of the above Adam, may possibly have been son of a Mr. George Mott who was buried at Saffron Walden 7 Feb. 1614/15.
Probably the two Adams were closely related. Further research in Essex and Cambridgeshire is indicated.
"Adam Mott born 1596 son of John Mott, went to MA on the DEFENCE. He later moved to RI when his father joined him They both seemed to have died in 1661. This Adam is the progenitor of the "RI and CT Motts"
His cousin, Adam Mott born 1621 son of JAMES MOTT (brother of John) went to NY on the BEVIS in 1639. He lived on Long Island and is the progenitor of the "NY Motts"
"The father of James and John was JOHN Mott of Saffron Walden. It is very common to mix these two families and to get the Adams confused."
James married Grace Thurgar at Essex, England about 1620.<ref name="Geni" /><ref name="Mott">The Mott Family.
