John K. Gott was a man of many talents. He was a noted Author, Historian, Educator, Lecturer, and belong to the Mason's. The Fauquier Heritage and Preservation Foundation dedicated its research library to John K. Gott in Marshall, Va. I had the opportunity to talk with Mr. Gott over the phone on a few occasions and believe me, he was such a wonderful person who was so willing to help you and to share his knowledge. A couple of years ago, it came up over one of the sites about people copying his works and sharing it with others, was said that it was illegal. I took it upon myself to call Mr. Gott, explained to him the problem at hand. He said, sure you can share my works with everyone, as long as you give credit where credit is due. He was a very kind and giving person. A lot of hard work and many many hours went into his research, but he loved what he did. Through that love of labor he left a legacy behind, of which all genealogist will enjoy and cherish. John K. Gott will never be forgotten and greatly missed. He has passed and now will have the most joyous opportunity to be greeted by all his ancestors and those he has placed in his books. God Bless you John K. Gott. June
