Mott searchers, Diane and I have crossed paths before, but after a very recent visit to Portage Co. and the cemeteries there I am sure our Mott lines are one and the same. I am sure that Jackson A. Mott along with a brother John Mott was a son of Ezekial and Nancy Mott. Diane's 3 Ezekial seems to fit except for his wife's name. Riverside lists Ezekial's name with Nancy but has no cemetery record or dates for him. Nancy died on 13 March, 1851 at age 50 making her birth date in 1801 so Ezekial's birth would have to be in early 1800's. Could he have had 2 wives? I still don't understand why Jackson is never is on anyone's list. One reason could be that at age 15, in the1850 Census for Portage Co. Jackson Mott was listed with the family of Dr. Joseph & Eunice DeWolf. Were the DeWolf's his guardians, employers or ??? Could the Dr. be a second husband to Eunice whose first husband was a Mott thereby giving Jackson the Mott name? I know Dr. DeWolf is known to genealogists in Portage County. So if anyone visits the Portage Co. Historical Society it would be cool if you could check him out. Jackson is also listed in the Summit County 1860 Census as Jackson Moot residing with a family from which his then future wife Alzine may have come. If anyone has access to the Summit county census in Columbus, I'd appreciate it if you would be willing to look it up, it is dwelling #370, family 363. Head of the house appears to be James but I can't make out the surname on my poor photo copy. I am looking for that surname to help verify the identity of Jackson and his wife.
