Occupation: Farmer

Event: Residence #1: 1736 Westerly, Washington, Rhode Island, USA.

Event: Residence #2: 1744 Wallingford Township, New Haven County, Connecticut Colony. It is possible this residence and date were chose by the birth of Simeon Mott, son of Jonathan Mott and Hannah (Bailey) on 7 October 1744. Jonathan and Hannah had just married 11 months earlier on 10 November 1743. It is far more likely that Simeon was the son of newly married Jonathan and Hannah of Wallingford than Jonathan and Hannah of Rhode Island, with no other evidence of their residence in Wallingford.
