Mr. Blott came to Charlestown in 1634, and he probably removed to Concord, Mass., as the following deed, taken from the first volume of the "Suffolk Deeds," would indicate:
Robert Blott of Boston in the Massachusetts granted unto Samuel Stretton of Concord his house and land in Concord granted by the town to the same forty Acres more or less wth all the appertenances & priviledges thereunto belonging & this was by a deed of sale dat. 29 (5) 1648
"Robert Blott & a seal
"Sealed & dd in p'sence of
"Wm Aspinwall
"Nicholas Bushie
"Edward ffletcher
"Also it was adjoyneing to mr Edw: Buckley on the north & goodman Pearsley south."
Mr. Blott, at the time of his daughter's marriage, was a resident of Boston, Mass., his house being on the corner of Newbury (now Washington) Street and Blott's Lane. The latter was called Blott's Lane, for Mr. Blott, until 1708, when it was named Winter Street. This property was inherited by Dr. Ellis, and the corner of Newbury and Winter Streets was called Ellis's Corner until 1732. The following is a copy of a part of Mr. Blott's will:
"I Robert Blott being in perfect memorye Doe make this my last will and testament.
"I make Edward Ellis my sonne-in-law, Husband to Sarah, my Daughter, my Executor, and give unto him my house and the lot belonging thereunto, with all the appurtenances, also
represented by its elder, and these elders from every family were delegates
to the national council."--History and Antiquities of the County
of Cardigan.
my will is, that he pay my daughter's children whose name was Woodford, of Connecticutt œ3. My will is that my Sonne Edward Ellis shall give to my daughter Tosier's children œ7, and 3 bushels of wheat and 2 of Indyan Corn, besides to her eldest Sonne, John Green, cloth to make him a Coate.
"My will is that the said Edward shall give to my daughter Lovett's children of Braintree œ7 & 3 bushels of wheat & 2 bushels of Indyan, also to my sonne-in-law Daniel Turin's children œ8; that my daughter Tosier and my daughter Lovett shall have half the household stuff equally Divided between them, and the other half to my daughter Ellis, also three bushels of Mault to be divided between my three daughters, also to Daniel Lovett my sonne-in-law I give my Best Coate. in witness whereof I have set my hand the 27th of third month called May 1662."
"I Edward Ellis by God's help shall pay these legacies without fraud or guile before twelve months after ye death of my father-in-law," etc.
A codicil is added which makes some changes in the legacies, as Mr. Blott did not die at that time.
