TALCOTT AND MOTT FAMILIES
TALCOTT AND MOTT FAMILIES
(Communicated by S. V. TALCOTT, of Albany, New York)
The following memoranda are copied from the fly leaf of an account book kept by Col. John Talcott, son of Worshipful Mr. John Talcott, of Hartford, Conn., and are under date of 1664.This book afterwards went into the Wadsworth family, and is now in the hands of Thos. Talcott, of Hartford, Conn.:---
"The kitchen that now stands on the north side of the house that I live in that was the first house that my father built in Hartford in Connecticut Colony, and was done by Nicholas Clark the first winter that any Englishman rought or built in Hartford, which was in the year 1635.
"My father and mother and his family came to Hartford in the year 1636, and lived first in said kitchen which was first on the west side of the chimney.
"The great Barn was bauilt in the year 1636, and underpined in the year 1637, and was the first barn that was raised in this colony.
"The east end of this house that we live in, and was my father Talcotts deceased, was built with the porch that is, in the year 1638, and the chimneys were built in 1638.
"The Cow house on the north side of the Cow yard now part improved for a corn house was finished and built in the year 1640.The House and barn that was in partnership between my father and my uncle Wadsworth at Farmington was finished in the year 1642.
"The hay Barn standing on the north end of the great Barn next Capt. Allyn's garden was built in the year 1644.The west end of that house we live in which was belonging to my honored deceased Father Talcott was built in the year 1645.
"My Oncle Mr. Mott sold my Hon Father Talcott his house that he lived in in Braintry in old England per order in the year 1644, my Father Talcott then living
in this house in Hartford.
"The prison house or common Goal for the Colony was built in Hartford in the year 1641.
"The meeting house or first Church built in Hartford was in the year 1638.
"The Pequot was was in the year 1637 at the English's almost first coming to Connecticut."
Mr Savage, in his Genealogical Dictionary, says of the family of Talcott:-- "John of Cambridge 1632 came that year in the Lion," & c .........."is said to have m. Dorothy, daughter of Benjamin Smith,"&c.
I believe that Mr. Savage is mistaken in regard to the name of the person John Talcott married, for these reasons:
There is no evidence that I am aware of, to prove that his wife's maiden name was Smith.
Dorothy his wife, in her will, says,"I do give and bequeath unto my son Samuel a pair of Holland pillow beers and a pair of sheets belonging to the bed his father gave him, marked with M in blue."From this I judged that her maiden name began with and "M," but could find nothing to corroborate the supposition, till I discovered the above memorandum by her son John relative to My Oncle Mr. Mott."
As John Talcott came, from Braintree, and as I find Mark Mott lived there about the time John Talcott left that place, and had a daughter Dorothy, the presumption is pretty strong that her maiden name was Mott, and that she is the daughter of Mark Mott, D. D., and Mercy his wife.
