    George Gardner was the immigrant ancestor and founder of the family in RI. He was a native of EN, but in the third decade of the seventeenth century he came to America. It is doubtful whether he was the son or the grandson of Sir Thomas Gardner, knight. Tradition has it, though, that he was the youngest son of one Joseph Gardner, who was the son of Sir Thomas Gardner. He is first of record in RI, in 1638, when he was admitted an inhabitant of the Island of Aquidneck. He received a grant of fifty-eight acres of land in 1640. He was made a freeman on March 16, 1641, and in the following year served as constable and senior sergeant. He was an ensign in 1644. He continued to rise in prominence in the colony, and in 1662, he was elected to the important office of commissioner. He died in King's County, RI, in 1679.

SLOCUMS IN AMERICA, by Charles Slocum, page 41.
    //came to America in the ship "Defense" in 1635.
    The surname Mott is found in the parish register of Saffron Waldon, county Essex, EN as early as 1570. Our Adam, born in Cambridgeshire, came to AM. in the Defence, which sailed from London on July 2, 1635, and arrived in Boston on October 8. He was then thirty-nine years old and was accompanied by his second wife, Sara Lott, his four children by his first wife (including Elizabeth) and his stepdaughter, Mary Lott. He brought with him "testimony from the Justice of the Pease, and minister in Cambridge, of his conformity to the orders of discipline of the Church of England." He was a tailor.
    Perhaps his father, John Mott, was our first MA Mott ancestor. But whether he came before, with or after Adam is not known. The statement in the Portsmouth Town Records (p. 72) that on July 3, 1656, it was voted to provide for the support of "old John Mott," seems to be the only record of him in AM.
    Adam became a freemen at Roxbury MA on May 25, 1635, and he and Sarah became members of John Eliot's church there. Soon they removed to Higham MA, where he was granted land. In 1638, however, he was admitted an inhabitant of Aquidneck RI and on June 23 he was granted a lot "on the west side of the spring" in Portsmouth.
    On March 12, 1640, he was one of five men chosen to lay out the lands of Portsmouth, and on March 16, 1641, he became a freemen of the town. The records of the Town meeting of April 26, 1641, state that the Deputy Governor was to lend him one yearling goat. He was clerk of the town's military company in 1642, and on May 27, 1644, he was given an an addition to his lot.
    He should not be confused with the Adam Mott who came to Newbury, MA and later migrated to Long Island.
