He died on November 03, 1748 in Gloucester, Essex County, Province of Massachusetts Bay.
His will is dated 10 October 1739 in Gloucester, Massachusetts.[15] It is proved on 14 November 1748.
"The first record of Samuel Gott of which we have any knowledge, says the same writer, is in 1697. when he was published by John Newman, town clerk, as follows: "An intent of Marriage betweene Samuel Gott of this Town of Wenham and Margaret Andross of Ipswich was published."
There is a deed recorded in which Lieutenant Charles Gott, living at Wenham "gives to my loving sonne Samuel, living in the same town" etc., seven acres of land in Wenham. "being part of my now dwelling house lot." The next important record bearing on the same subject is that Samuel Gott, yeoman, and Margaret, his wife, of Beverly, sold the above mentioned seven acres to Thomas Fiske, on July 31, 1702.
His residence in Beverly was probably not more than temporary as nothing in relation to his family is found on the records there. But "we find at the registry office," says Mr. Pool's narrative, "the following in relation to the purchase of the tract of land near Halibut Point on Cape Ann in 1702; William Cogswell of Ipswich, yeoman, and Martha his wife, in consideration of the quantity of 60 pounds lawful money of New England, paid by Samuel Gott, late of Wenham, but now a resident in Gloucester in New England, weaver, convey all that my parcels of upland, lying and being in Gloucester, of about forty-eight acres, being eight six acre lots lying upon the point usually called by the name of 'Hollybut' point."
Samuel Gott fixed his abode on the lands deeded to him and became the head of a large family of children. In 1872 the old homestead was still in possession of his descendants, one of whom was Captain Joshua Gott, a soldier of the revolution and who died in 1846, at the advanced age of ninety-two years. He was a son of Joseph Gott, who was a son of Samuel Gott, of Wenham and Gloucester, by his marriage with Bethany Cogswell. In speaking of Samuel Gott Babson's "Gloucester" says: Samuel Gott, weaver, came to Gloucester from Wenham, where Charles Gott, who was, without doubt, his ancestor, was an early settler; having removed thither from Salem, to which place he came as early as 1628.
Samuel Gott was residing in this town (Gloucester) October 23, 1702, when he bought of William Cogswell, of Chebacco, for sixty pounds, lawful money, eighty-six acre lots lying upon Halibut Point, and fixed his abode in that remote section of the town.
His wife was Margaret, daughter of William Andrews, of Ipswich. She died October 30, 1722, and he married, second, in 1723, Bethany Cogswell, of Ipswich, who died April 23. 1755. aged sixty-seven years. Mr. Gott died November 3, 1748, at the age of about seventy-one years." [page 689]
Samuel was born in 1678. Samuel was the child of Charles Gott and Lydia Clark. Samuel passed away in 1748.[16]
