I am trying to trace the family of the Robert Lott mentioned in the two articles below. I don't know what happened to Robert Lott after he shot John Kennedy, but by 1792 Hannah Lott had applied for guardianship of his orphan children. Was Hannah Lott his wife? I believe the Thomas Gassrway (sic) and Nicholas Cassaway(sic) were Hannah Gassaway's brothers. There is a marriage record in Berkeley Co for a Richard Lott and a Hannah Gassaway. There are also several Lott families listed in the Reconstructed Census of Berkeley Co, but by 1800 they are all gone. My questions are: What happened to Robert Lott?- was he tried for murder? If he was tried, would the records of the trial still be available in the court house. If he died is there somewhere I might look for his death record? I found no other mention of him in the newspapers of that time. Who was Hannah Lott and what happened to her and the orphans of Robert Lott? Did she remarry? Virginia Gazette, or, The Winchester Advertiser - Died - Mr. John Kennedy, killed by Mr. Robert Lott one day last week as he attempted to serve an order on Lott (p3, c3) - Wednesday, July 15, 1789 from the Henley Marriage & Obituary Database: Catalog card; The Library Of Virginia Film 283 BERKELEY COUNTY, VA GUARDIAN BONDS; VA GENEALOGIST DISC 4:61 Hannah (x) Lott, guardian of Mary Lott, Mathew Lott, Hannah Lott, Elizabeth Lott and Robert Lott orphans of Robert Lott 18 Dec 1792 for 500 pounds. Sec. Thomas Gassrway and Nicholas (x) Cassaway. I know this is a long shot, but any help will be greatly appreciated.
