From "the Descendants of Adam Mott of Hempstead, Long Island, NY, a Genealogical Study. by Edw. Doubleday Harris, 189?

"Adam Mott is first heard of in 1645, when he was of New York. On the 28th of July, 1647, he married there, Jane Hulet.... His oldest children Adam and James were baptized in New York. Ten years later he was settled at Hempstead, on the north shore, where he continued to reside until his death. There are several important documents upon record concerning him. One dated 1682, enumerates his "four sonns by my First wiffe Jane Mott, viz. Addam, Jeams, John, and Joseph." The second is his Will, dated March 12, 1681-2, wherein he names his "eldest son Adam," sons James, John, Joseph and Gershom, dau. Grace, three children of his deceased son Henry, "youngest son Adam," wife Elizabeth and "all children I have by her." The third document is an agreement dated 1691 by which the widow confirms certain lands to sons by the first marriage, viz. Adam, James, John, and Joseph, being joined therein by on of her own sons, Richbell, probably the only one then of age. The last of these documents is a release given by John Okeson, in 1703, (who had meantime married the youngest daughter by the second wife,) of his interest in the estate which Adam Mott "did give to his six youngest children which he had by his last wife Elizabeth, unto Richbell Mott, William Mott, Charles Mott, and Adam Mott, Jr.
The second wife of Adam Mott was the daughter of Ann, the wife of John Richbell of Mamaroneck, probably from a previous marriage whose name was Redman. She married not long prior to Nov. 5, 1691, Robert Hubs, and was living as late as 1698 as his wife."

From Adam and Anne Mott, by Cornell, "John Richbell, the father of Adam Mott's second wife, wrote himself "gentleman" and his widow was distinguished as Madam Richbell. Adam Mott counted himself yeoman-nothing else. It is evident that he was diligent in business and frugal in his habits, and he accumulated a moderate competence. He had the respect of his fellow townsmen, and was occasionally put forward to represent their interest, but he did not push himself forward. Yet, as is the case of John Cornwell, he was willing to defend his right when he thought them invaded. -- There is no tradition what manner of man he was in outward appearance. And although many of his descendants have been Friends, there is no reason to believe that he ever belonged to the Society."
