I descend from Joseph Mott(e) (1774-1849), who m'ed Zelpha WIGGINS in 1799/1800 in Effingham Co. GA. Among other things, I've been trying to find the expected link between he and Abraham Motte (m. Sarah SCRUGGS 1769 Effingham Co.). There is a theory that "my" Joseph was one of the sons of a Joseph Mott Sr. (ca. 1725 - ca. 1798) of Craven Co. SC, but there's only circumstantial evidence. I'm hoping that someone has some new evidence that brings new light to the questions of whether Joseph Mott, Sr. descended from: 1. Adam Mott via NY/Del > NC > SC > GA, 2 The Motts of VA > NC > SC > GA, or 3. The French/Huguenot MOTTEs/de la MOTTEs of Europe>Antiqua/Jamaica>SC and also, if "my" Joseph was a son of "Joseph, father of Nathan".
