Mote

 

My Mote ancestors

01. William Mote was born before 1670 in England.  He came to America with his two brothers John and Jonathan from the vicinity of London and settled in southeast Pennsylvania.   He died before 1747 of smallpox while in the service of the Continental Army.

02. Jonathan Mote, son of William was born before 1709 in England.  His wife's name may have been Sarah.  He died in 1763 at the Little River Settlement at Sampson's Fork, Newberry County, S.C.  The children of Jonathan and Sarah are:
 

1 Jonathan Mote (Born on Sep 23, 1732 in Bristol Parish, Prince George
                             Co, VA) Married Audrey Collier abt 1750
 
2 David Mote (See Below)
3 Andrew Mote (Born abt 1740 in VA - Died abt. 1788)
4 James Mote (Born abt 1746 in VA - Died after 1822)
5 Matthew Mote (Born abt. 1749 in Edgecomb Co, NC - Died after 1812)

03. David Mote, son of Jonathan and Sarah was born on March 4, 1732 in Chester County, PA.  He married Dorcas Nichols.  They had 11 children.  David moved to North Carolina and then to Georgia. He was a member of the Society of Friends.  In 1774, at the first monthly meeting at Wrightsborough (in Columbia Co., now McDuffie Co, GA); Joseph Maddock, James Mendenhall, John Stubbs, David Mote, Francis Jones and Joseph Williams were appointed to draw up an address to the Governor of Georgia.  David Mote was prominent in the affairs of the Friends, and his name appeared frequently in the records of the meetings.  At the age of 71, he with his family, removed to Miami County, OH where he died of gastritis at the age of 83 years, 10 months (March 4, 1817), at the home of his son John.  Note:  David Mote has been referred to as "General" David Mote.  This title has been questioned due to the nonviolent beliefs of the Quaker people.  The 11 children of David and Dorcas are:
