Biography

According to Mott genealogy Adam Mott I, of Long Island, Immigrant is married to Elizabeth Redman with her father being John Redman & mother Ann Parsons.

Adam married first 23 July 1647 to Jane, daughter of Lewis Hewlet of Buckingham, England. Married 2nd, Elizabeth Redman. This Elizabeth Redman was the daughter of John and Ann Redman, and was the step-daughter of John Richbell, and is often recorded as Elizabeth Richbell.

Adam, in 1646 was granted land at Green Point, LI. by George Keift; The following is a copy of the marriage record from Dutch Church Records: Married July 28, 1647, Adam Maet yr jm uyt graefschape Esseck en Jenne Hulet id uyt Graegschap Buckingham.

Adam Mott died in 1689, made his will 12 March 1682. His widow Elizabeth Redman Mott in 1691 confirmed certain lands to his sons of the first marriage. The widow married ca. 1691 Robert Hubs and was living in 1698. Reference: "Edward Hart Descendants and Allied Families, page 114."

According to the records of the Dutch Church of New Amsterdam, ADAM MOTT of Essex, England, was married in New Amsterdam on the 28th July, 1647, to JANE HULET of Buckingham, England. The record shows that neither had been previously married. About a year before this date, on the 23d April, 1646, the Dutch Government of New Netherlands granted to ADAM MOTT twenty-five morgans of land on Mespath Kill (Newtown Creek). The Albany records (iv., pages 187-89-90) also mention ADAM MOTT as witness in the court in New Amsterdam on the 23d October, 1645, and even earlier than this, on the 6th June and 10th May, 1644. He apparently remained in New Amsterdam for several years, for according to the same church records his infant son Adam was baptized on the 14th November, 1649, the sponsors being Thomas Hall, Oloff Stevenson Van Cortlandt, and Elsie Muytiens (Alice Newton, wife of Captain Bryan Newton). These were among the most respectable people of the infant city, then numbering perhaps one thousand souls. James, the second son of ADAM, was baptized on the 15th October, 1651, the sponsors being Rebecca Cornell, who subsequently married George Wolsey; Bryan Newton, and Carel Ver Brugge (Charles Bridges), who married Sarah Cornell, sister of Rebecca and widow of Thomas Willett, and mother of Colonel Thomas Willett, of Flushing.

It has been sometimes assumed that this ADAM MOTT, of New Amsterdam in 1644-52, was the son of the earlier Adam Mott who came to Boston from Cambridge, England, in 1635, in the ship Defence, with his family, including a son Adam then twelve years old. This Adam Mott of Cambridge, who was in Boston in 1635, moved to Hingham about 1636, and subsequently to Portsmouth, R. I.; and his son Adam, who married Mary Lott, may be traced in Portsmouth until his death, about 1673, and must not be confounded with the ADAM MOTT of Hempstead who married JANE HULET in New Amsterdam in 1647.

Soon after the birth of his second son, James, ADAM MOTT appears to have moved from New Amsterdam toward Hempstead on Long Island. The first entry on the first page of Book A of the Hempstead Records, March 17, 1657, certifies that ADAM MOTT was chosen one of the townsmen for that year. His descendants, as well as the Hulets or Hewletts, have been prominent in Hempstead and the neighboring towns down to the present day, nearly two hundred and fifty years.

JANE HULET, the first wife of the immigrant ADAM, died after bearing him eight children, the youngest of whom was GERSHOM, born about 1663. ADAM MOTT subsequently married Elizabeth Richbell, one of the daughters of John Richbell, the first patentee of what is now the town of Mamaroneck. Elizabeth Richbell bore him five children, to one of whom he gave the name of Adam, although his eldest son Adam was still living; and thus in his will, offered for probate in 1689, he speaks of his eldest son Adam and of his youngest son Adam. [Note by compiler: Elizabeth REDMAN, mentioned by the author as Elizabeth RICHBELL, was a step-daughter of John RICHBELL.]

Elizabeth Richbell's son, William Mott, born in 1674, was ancestor of the celebrated surgeon, Valentine Mott, of New York. Richbell Mott, the eldest of the Richbell children, born in 1668, was ancestor of several persons of prominence. One of his granddaughters, Margaret, married in 1749 Melancthon Smith, a statesman of note in his day, whose grandson, Admiral Melancthon Smith of the United States Navy, died in the summer of 1893. Jordan L. Mott, a prominent man in New York during the latter half of the present century, was descended from the first ADAM MOTT of Hempstead, through Joseph, the fifth son of his first wife, JANE HULET.

Elizabeth Richbell aka Redman was the daughter of Ann Parsons, wife of John Richbell of Mamaroneck. Elizabeth was probably a child from a previous marriage. ^[1] She was born in New York about 1640. ^{[2] [3]}

Some speculate that she was the daughter of John Richbell while other sources support that she was a child from Ann Parsons's first marriage to unknown Redman.

She married Adam Mott in 1667. ^[4]

After the death of Adam Mott she remarried Robert Hubs not long prior to 5 November 1691. She is known to have been living as late as 1698.

Mrs. Grant Rideout in Ancestors & Descendants of Sarah Eleanor Ladue names him as John Redman however, supporting evidence has been difficult to recover. "Adam Mott then married, in 1667, Elizabeth Redman, daughter of Ann (Parsons) Richbell, by her first husband, John Redman."^[5]

Adam Mott married Elizabeth Redman on 22 Nov 1667 in New England. ^{[6] [7]}

1. Richbell Mott (son), born abt 1670
2. Mary Ann Mott
3. Elizabeth Mott
4. William Mott
5. Charles Mott
6. Adam Mott

After her husband's death, Elizabeth Redman remarried Robert Hubs.

She died after 1698 in Queens, Queens, New York as no records have been found of her after this date according to Harris in The descendants of Adam Mott of Hempstead, Long Island, N. Y. A genealogical study.
