Jacob³, Amos³, and Benjamin³, the third, fouth, and fifth sons of Charles² Mott, all died before 1748 without issue.

Adam³, the sixth son of Charles², was perhaps the same man that married Elizabeth Smith and lived at Cow Neck. He certainly was the father of Jacob⁴, David⁴, Jonathan⁴ and Mary Ann⁴, all alive in 1748 but nothing further is known of them.

John³, the seventh son of Charles², was alive 1748 with two children, Mary Ann⁴ and Benjamin⁴, but nothing further is known of father or children. The fact that this Benjamin⁴ suggests the thought the Wilminton, N.C., Motts of to-day may be his descendants.

Their son, Thomas⁶, of Radnor, near Philadelphia, is the oldest representative of the youngest branch of Adam¹ Mott's family, and is without male issue.

Benjamin⁵, who died childless in 1891, and Elizabeth⁵, the wife of Henry H. Barrow.

Among the many branches of the Motts that are not, as yet, to be connected, indisputably, with the parent stock is a large detachment descended from one John of Hempstead by his wife Rebecca. He was born as early as in 1685, and died 1750-1, at Hempstead. It is likely that he was the oldest son of John². Proofof the connection should be carefully sought among the private records about Hempstead. His Will, proved 1751, furnishes the only authentic record of the family that has yet appeared. His children were John⁴, died in his father's life time, Samuel⁴, Jacob⁴, Sarah⁴, Martha⁴ , Jehu⁴, Rebecca⁴, Phebe⁴, and Micajah⁴.

Samuel⁴, b. 1712, married Hannah Wood, was of Hempstead, died 1780, leaving sons Richard⁵, Samuel⁵ and John⁵.

Their son John ⁶, born 1783, married Hannah Townsend and died 1848, leaving many descendants.

Jacob⁴, son of John³ and Rebecca, was of Bethpage, married Keziah Seaman, died about 1782. Of his children, Jacob S.⁵ was merchant of New York, and seems to have died 1820, leaving only two daughters. Samuel Nottingham⁵, the other son, married Phebe Gedney, was a merchant of New York and father of John Gedney⁶, whose son Lawrence Proudfoot⁷ died in New York 1897, leaving only son, the present Lewis Camp⁸ Mott of New York.

Jehu⁴, the next son of John and Rebecca, was born 9, 26, 1723, married Ruth Powell, was a Quaker Preacher, and died 1782, leaving two sons, John⁵ and Jehu⁵. John⁵, born 1750, was of Patchogue, died 1828, leaving many descendants who are to be found to-day in that vicinity.
