  • Notes 
    • Johanna Hollis was born about 1566, probably at Saffron Walden, Essex, England. Johanna married, on 20 Jan 1593 in Saffron Walden, John Mott. John was born about 1571 in Saffron Walden, and died 1656 in Portsmouth, Newport, Rhode Island. Johanna and John had at least one child, Adam Mott, born about 1596. Johanna (Hollis) Mott passed away at Saffron Walden around or after her son's date of birth.

      John Mott married:

      Johanna Hollis, married on 20 Jan 1593 in Saffron Walden, England
      Elizabeth, born about 1575 in Saffron Walden, Essex, England

      Children:
      1.) Adam Mott, born about 1596 in Saffron Walden, Essex, England

      The following is from The American Genealogist Vol. 20, page 227-228:

      MOTT, Adam (p344, 1st col.) was the son of "oulde John Mott" who was admitted a freeman at Aquidneck in 1638. In 8 mo.: 1639 John Mott's land is mentiond. On 29 Aug. 1644, 25 Jan. 1648/9, 2 June 1650, 19 Jan 1651/2, 9 June 1652, 2 June 1653, 20 June 1653 and 17 June 1654, the town of Portsmouth, R. I. provided for his care (Records of the Town of Portsmouth). On 23 Jan 1654/5, the town agreed to pay the passage of "ould John Mott to Barbados Iland and back again if he cannot be received there, if he live to it, if the shipp owners will carried him." (ib., p. 66) On 3 July 1656 further provision was made for his keep and "the oulde mans son Adam" engaged to give a cow and a supply of corn towards it (ib. p. 72). The ould man was evidently held in high esteem, for the order of 9 June 1652 provided "that there shalbe a stone house built for the more comfortabl beinge of ould John Mott in the winter" (ib. p. 58).

      Notes
      John Mott was admitted as an inhabitant of Aquidneck Island in 1638, probably with his son Adam Mott. It is not known when or on what ship he came to the colonies.

      He was called Oulde John Mott and received care from the town of Portsmouth for several years from 29 Aug 1644 to his death, probably about 1656.

      The following entries from Saffron Walden may pertain to Adam Mott's father (or his grandfather) John Mott:
      Buried 2 Jan. 1610/11, Elizabeth wife of John Mott;
      Buried 4 May 1619, Catherine wife of John Mott;
      Buried 2 Jan 1616/17, Ann daughter of John Mott; and
      Baptized 29 Sept. 1625, Elizabeth daughter of John and Mary Mott.
