Hi, I believe that Jackson A. Mott had 3 daughters named Sarah, Elda, and Minnie but I have no info on who they married. I have their birth date but they all predate a younger brother Darius, born in 1875. Any information on the 3 girls would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if I can help.

Nancy, I just returned from Portage and took photos of the Mott graves in Riverside, Fairview and Mottown. Can give you date I got off graves. When I get photos back can scan them into e-mail if you are interested. Also, there is a grave stone from the American Revolution in the tiny Mottown Cemetery so it is an old and still in use cemetery. It was my favorite little cemetery of the bunch. Be sure to go to the Portage County Historical Society at 6549 St. Rt. 44 in Ravenna if you want copies of Cemetery listings and location of Mott grave stone. They were most helpful. It is only open from 2 to 4 Tues & Thurs. Besides the county information, the genealogy club or whatever stores their records there as well. It is well worth the visit. The Ezekiel Mott I have listed in the Riverside Cemetery, which we didn't visit does not have dates but lists his wife as Nancy who died Mar 13, 1851 at age 50. I have reason to believe Ezekiel and Nancy may be the parents of Jackson A. Mott and probably John Mott. John and Jackson both fought in the Civil war. Jackson is my husband's great grandfather and he and his son Darius and Grandson George are all buried in the Fairview Cemetery. However, George and Darius's grave stones were fairly well hidden under an evergreen shrub right next to Jackson's grave. If any of the above connections make any sense to you, or if you have any proof of the Jackson Motts parentage, please let me know. I've been at a dead end with Jackson Andrew Mott for about 2 years. I remember seeing the McKelvey name but didn't know it might be connected to the Mott line. If you happen to get over to Summit County I need an 1860 Census page looked up for an unreadable surname of who may have become Jackson Mott's wife. I'd be glad to share any information I have if it will help. Keep in touch.

Cuyahoga Falls is just north of Portage County. It lies just above the border, in Summit County. You could call it a suburb of Akron. I'm sorry I can't help you with the Davis part, but I have forwarded that part of your query to the Summit County list, to see if anyone there can help you out. Good luck!

Surnames: MOTT MCKELVEY Submitter: Nancy Mott Lawson ([email protected]) Date: 02 Oct 1999 Looking for grave of Ezekiel Mott (d. 8 Jan 1825) in Deerfield Twp., Portage Co., Ohio. Would expect he would be buried in Deerfield Cemetery. I believe Mottown Cemetery did not exist until 1879 therefore too late for him to be buried there. Also looking for grave of Jane McKelvey Mott (d. 16 Nov. 1838). She was wife of Ezekiel. Ezekiel and Jane came to Deerfield in 1807. He was a Revolutionary War soldier. I am coming to Portage Co.

Does anyone have access to Marriage Records for Portage County, for the years between 1875-1885? I am looking for a marriage record for Ada M. JEROME to Frank KELSO, probably near the year 1880. If anyone finds that record, and if it lists parents of the bride and/or groom, could you add that info, too? I would love to find the parents of Frank Kelso. I believe Ada's parents are probably Lorenzo Dow Jerome and Annis Ward. I would think that the marriage may have occured in Rootstown, where the Jeromes lived, or maybe Brimfield, where many Kelsos lived. Thanks so much!!!

Here's a new search engine that I've been trying out.
