Death[1][4] 23 Feb 1675 Braintree, Norfolk, Massachusetts, United States“Kill’d by the Indians.”


Listed in 1643 at Scituate as man able to bear arms. In 1645 he was a soldier in the Narraganset expedition against the Indians. No further records until his 1656 marriage to Hannah, widow of Peter Shooter. In 1663, he was living on Mr. Parker’s farm (Middlesex Ct. Rec) - either Richard Parker’s grant or Moore’s farm. Mott was probably the tenant farmer. There are no land transactions bearing his name, and he left no will. In 1674/5, a widow sold her land which had been late in the ‘tenure and occupation’ of Nathanial Mott. Nathaniel was one of four men killed by Indians on 23 Feb 1675/6, according to Braintree records.

Savage’s: NATHANIEL, Scituate, able to bear arms 1643, rem. to Braintree, m. 1656, Hannah, Shooter had Nathaniel, b. 28 Dec. 1657.

The most commonly used birthdate of this man is 21 Aug 1631 in Braintree. This makes him too young to bear arms in 1643. Furthermore, it is the baptism date found for the son of Nathaniel Mott and Elizabeth Bridett in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire. If he was baptized at several years old, which is possible given that a sister was baptized just two days later, this could be the right Nathaniel. However, this family also baptized a Nathaniel in 1639, which typically indicates the first kid died.

The IGI uses the 1631 birthdate and gives father as John, but no one offers records of John.
