Subj: Lott family in MD/VA

I am descended from a Mary Evelyn Lott who married Samuel Wooddy in 1836. I have gathered the following information, but have been unable to make any connection. You have stated you were doing research on the VA Lott families. Did you every find anything on these people?
The earliest record is that of a Robert Lott giving his son, Robert, for apprenticeship in the Caroline Co., MD 1771.
I am trying to locate information on a family by the name of Lott who lived in Berkeley County, VA in 1780 to 1800. The 1787 and 1782 Census of Virginia lists Jesse. The Berkeley Co Tithable List of 1783 lists include Leonard and Robert. The VSLA database records that Robert Lott shot John Kennedy in 1789. In 1791 Robert Lott's orphans are being named in a guardian court action in Berkeley Co. The orphans, Mathew, Robert, Mary, Elizabeth and Hannah are not found anywhere. Could Hannah Lott have remarried and the children had their names changed? The Marriages Records of Berkeley Co list marriages between Richard Lott and Hannah Gassaway in 1780 and Garrett Lott and Sally Faulkner in 1853. After 1800 they disappear from Berkeley Co. (The Gassaway Genealogy states that it was Robert, born in Ann Arundel Co, MD, who married Hannah Gassaway, also born in Ann Arundel Co. in Berkeley Co., MD). My gggrandmother appears in her marriage in Loudoun Co in 1836, but her parents are not named yet Hannah Lott lived with Mary EvelynLott and her husband Samuel Wooddy until her death.
Did any of your VA research include anything on the above families?
Thank you very much for anything you can add.

Pat, I can take my Lotts back to John Lott in Birtie Co., NC, 1734. There are close associations between these Lotts and several families from the Virginia tidewater country, especially the Joyner family in Isle of Wight Co. There were Lotts in this area as early as 1654 and I suspect mine comes from them, but have no evidence.
I don't know of any connection between these southern Va folks and the ones found in northern Va, but certainly can't discount it. If you will check my web page you will see the thrust of research of our group the Lott Circle. Let me know how your research goes and I will do the same for you.

Got these from Jane Sharon at the reunion last summer in MO---and I stuck them in a folder and am just getting around to really studying them. Too bad, there is some interesting stuff in here. Pass this on to Kevin---and let's figure out which of these we already know who they are and where these pieces of land were.

Mel, I don't know about the Anson or Granville Co. records, but I have dozens of records of John Lott of Birtie-Edgecombe-Dublin Co. and only Margaret Hoffman read any of them as Lett. I don't know what her problem was. I think if we go back and read the original grants and deeds they would be Lott.
These folks in Edgecombe Co. are my ancestors and are the same group who moved to St. George's Parish, Georgia c1762. I think the Lott/Lett confusion stems more from the misreading of records by abstractors than anything real.

Jean,
I saw your message to the LOTT-LIST earlier this month and have just now found the time to respond. It appears that you and I are researching the same lines stemming from the Nathan Lott who married Dicey Watts. I noticed a few small errors in the data you submitted and wanted to bring then to your attention. Possibly, you have already corrected some of them.
I clipped the relevant portion of your message to the list and pasted it below. I've included my comments in brackets following each of your entries.

Notes for NATHAN LOTT:
Dicy and Nathan are bur in the Hickman-Lott cem in Stone Co., MS Absalom is the only child that I have on this family the rest are from Joseph and Daniel Lott.
[*** I far as I know Nathan and Dicey's exact burial location is not known. Reliable sources place them in the New Hope cemetery in Covington Co., MS. This is what Joe Lott told me back in the Spring of the year. However, when I visited that cemetery in July I was not able to locate their gravestones. What I did find was William Lott and Mary Bryant's graves, as I expected to, but I could not find Nathan and Dicey's. But here's the intriguing thing: just in front of William and Mary, in the oldest part of the cemetery, there are two graves with badly weathered and unreadable stones. I suspect that these are the graves of Nathan and Dicey, but that's only a hunch. I can say for sure that Nathan and Dicey Lott are not buried in the Lott-Hickman cemetery in the Big Level Community Stone Co. I visited that cemetery in December of 1998. Lott-Hickman is the burial location of Nathan's grandson Jesse William Lott and his wife Dicey Wiggins Lott. You may have inadvertently confused the two Dicey Lotts. ***]
Children of NATHAN LOTT and DICEY WATTS are:
6. i. ABSOLOM NATHAN6 LOTT, b. 22 June 1806, Ga.; d. 27 December 1886, Harrison Co., MS. (Stone co. now).

Notes for ABSOLOM NATHAN LOTT:
The information on this gentleman and his descendants were given me by Gladys Rae LOTT Wood and Frankie Wylmouth LOTT Dalrymple. and the dates and burial are from Russell Lott of MS.
Joseph N. and Daniel H. Lott state that Absalom Nathan Lott was born Feb 28, 1805 in GA, the date that I have could be a baptism date....

[*** You list Melissa Lott b.1851 and Charles Lott b.1859 as children of Absalom and Elizabeth. I doubt that they were children of these two. They do not appear in any of the bible records I've collected from my family. A Melissa (Melissee?), age 19, is listed in Absalom's household in the 1870 census. I've always believed that this was the census taker's corruption for Lisha or Lishee (Elisha), who was still 19 at the time. Charles appears as a 21 year-old son in the 1880 census. I have a hunch that he is a grandson or other relation but not a son. Where was he in earlier censuses? If he was Elizabeth's son, then she would have been near 50 at his birth. Do you have anything else on this Charles?

John,
Maybe my brain is just going ditzy with so many different lines and names but I don't recall seeing a Lott JOYNER before as one of the children for John JOYNER and Elizabeth BROWN before. Have you seen it before? Is it possible that Elizabeth BROWN's mother and wife of John BROWN was named LOTT...possibly even Elizabeth LOTT.....of course, that's the broadest jump but do have any possibilities for siblings of John LOTT, husband of Elizabeth JOYNER? What does the time frame do for Aaron LOTT being a sibling of John LOTT and a sister LOTT? Don't have Aaron LOTT's date of birth here in front of me....he may have been generation ahead of them.....anyway.....this is probably old news with this man named Lott JOYNER and maybe I have seen it twenty times already but it just stood out and thought I'd better ask.
Thanks. Oh! and congratulations on daughter Lucy's newest assignment at the Library of Congress! How terrific! I know you must be very proud.

I don't either, Bellinda, and I'm sure it would have made an impression if I had. It may not be as significant as it seems, however, since Lot is a first name that's not too uncommon.

Hi all, in ans to Russell and Joseph concerning my errors.... They are now corrected.... Thank you gentleman.....
BUT I do have a thing or two to say concerning Charles Lott as being the child of Ab . N. and Elizabeth Williamson... you say that she was to old to give birth... Sorry guys..... I disagree and am going to leave my records as is there.... You see, my grandmother was the big 50 when my Uncle John was born and 52 when the youngest, Eugene, was born.. AND I too could have done so.....
NOW... about this cemetery in Covington that has William & Mary Bryant planted... I am curious to know who that is there.. is it really Nathan and Dicey.... Does any one know if there are church records in that area that might shed some light on this subject? What church did they belong to?.... and where are they located, could we contact a member of the churches in that area and see where their church books are......

Friend John , I found these notes from the Creek records I had may be they can help looking for records where warriors stand was but have not found them as yet. but here is what I copied from some where in those records.
Creek Agency April 6 1812 on the 126 ult. Thomas Meredith Sr. was killed on post Road at Kittome a creek 150 miles from this. Meredith was buried at Sam Macnac home and said it was a accident.
The lower and upper Creeks united there effort in having dealt out to the murderers of William Lott some called him Authur we come now to 1813 the year of actual strife.

Karen, I suspect there were Lotts in all the above plus Germany and the Netherlands and while I have no direct evidence of our Lott's country of origin, from the associations of the early family with families from the Virginia tidewater country (Joyner, Lightfoot, etc.) it seems clear that ours were of English origin. The northern Lott line was in the early Dutch settlements of New York-New Jersey and were apparently unrelated to the southern line.
My best guess is that the John Lott who embarked from Bristol England for America in the late 1600's was the immigrant ancestor of our line. It was about this time that the Lotts began to appear in the county records in the Jamestown area. Also, a much later but very telling item is the statement in the obituary of Rev. Elisha Lott (son of the Solomon b c1740) that Elisha's father was a member of the "High Church of England."

Has anyone ever heard that the name was originally spelled Lotz, that they were from Germany? My Lott line comes from the Lott's that stayed in SC. Some of my mother's family says the Lott's were from England, others say they were from Germany and the name was originally spelled Lotz. Does anyone know anything of this?

Beth, I've heard all sorts of things like this, but have come to believe that they are all just speculative. The Lott family abounds with legends but, although prominent people, they didn't tend to leave many written records that documented family relationships.
We need to continue to locate and document real records and in this manner, hopefully, solve the puzzle of the origin of the family.

Mr. Barron,
I recently visited your Web page and read many of the sections about the Lott family. I am just beginning my search for my Lott Family, and would be interested in any suggestions you could give me for where to begin.
All I know is that my g. grandfather's name was Sydney (Sidney) Giles Lott and he was born on a farm outside Douglas, Coffee County, Georgia. He has three sons (Willie, Alfa, and Oscar - my granddad) and two daughters (Birdie and Grace. His wife's name was Pearl Virginia, but I don't know her maiden name or where they were married.
I thank you for any assistance you may be able to provide.

Hi John
Hope everything is going along just swell in TX. My comment to Dan is that I think he gets the vote for finding the oldest root in our family tree.
But seriously, I get more confused every time I read something connected with our Lotts. I know that I'm a newcomer to the root cellar but I'm by no means unskilled or unprepared for the unknown.
I'm a social psychologist and maybe sometimes I look at things a little differently than some people would, have or could. Sometimes I like to imagine things in an orderly fashion in relationships as to track things. Then I stop and visualize what I'm trying to conceive and I get to laugh at my self. Because in theory my idea works, in reality it would be hilarious. Oh well, the kid in me would have a good laugh anyway.
Here's some questions that puzzle me.
My family (from my father Hugh, Wiley, Joel, Daniel, Mark, John Jr, John Sr., John) Lott appears well talked about in research circles. They are not unknown. However there is lots of discussions concerning the finite details. There are several published accounts of our lineage. Some venture to say that we are this or that. But when I bought an expensive book and it openly stated that the Lotts were of Russian descent, I had to stop for a while. Mind you I would never be ashamed of my heritage, how could you be, when it is something over which we had no control. However, I do wonder how my now deceased parents would have felt?
All my life I was told by my aunts and uncles that we were sort of the old Dukes mixture type. You know the nondescript WASP. No one ever voiced too many specifics except to say that we were Scotch, English, Irish and possibly a little Dutch. Nothing much really to go on except family stories, skin and eye coloration. Well I guess most of my Lott family fit that. But, if I were to look around probably a good percentage of the population fits in. It would sure make our jobs easier today if we could let our imagination run wild and assign a particular color to each country of origin. You know like blue people came from here and yellow people came from here. Well...come to think about it I guess it really wouldn't seem too great of an idea after all. We would really have some strange color mixtures out there. Gee we might look like a color wheel. I guess that is just my imagination running a fowl.
I guess I was just wondering if you had any thoughts on all these wild a***guesses that people seem to expand upon. I know that I read in one book that someone traveled to Russia and confirmed that there were Lott families there. But, I think if you look around we probably could find Lott families in every country.
Either way, be sure to tell Dan that he gets the prize for the oldest proof of Lott families. Keep up the good work. Wish there were ways that I could help.
Thanks for keeping me informed. gloria

<< I have a question for you or anyone else that may be able to answer. I have received 64 pages of information that comes from a book with the Lott family "Pioneers of Wiregrass GA".

As I have stated before, my line comes directly from those that remained in SC, so this will branch to other families out. If you or anyone is interested in what I have gathered on my SC line. The great majority of it can be proven and is documented, some is information I can't prove just yet. Thanks for any help or advice I can get.

Beth, there are two works with similar names which need to be better identified:
1) a series of general lineages c1960 by Judge Folks Huxford entitled "Pioneers of Wiregrass GA" as you show above, and
2) Jessie Paulk's book "Lott Families of Wiregrass GA" 1991.
I have no problem with Jessie's book, but the earlier work by Huxford is not to be trusted for anything prior to the children of Mark Lott (the eldest). Indeed, I think he has done a great disservice to later researchers by his speculations concerning early generations and in particular that the Lotts were in South Carolina during the Rev. War when there are records to show that the family actually leaned more toward the British side and was in the Tory stronghold of West Florida during the war. These speculations were taken for fact by the majority of the Lott descendants and thanks to the DAR accepting them, can probably never be expunged from the literature or corrected.

The problem with Huxford and Paulks book is inherent in all endeavors. I understand the Judge got a lot of his info by riding around, stopping, and talking to people with varying levels of accuracy and reliability. Much of Jessee Paulks book is the compilation of others works and memories. It is only as accurate as the info provided.
I have corresponded with Jessie and I think he would agree with this. Disclaimers are all over the place in all works. I can only attest with a high degree of confidence to my line in his book which is the descendants of Frances Fannie Lott(1865-1922) and Thomas J Byrd. The line is full of errors- major ones. he point is that his and other works are valuable in that many people can look at it and assist in correcting errors.
The problem is that the author can get feedback and make corrections, but unless there are revised editions the incorrect data will continue in anyone relying on the original edition. One suggestion is the hope that an author would be willing to send updated info on a line to anyone contacting him/her or posting it to a proper forum.
This is the value of forums such as Barron. Those needing info on a particular line can make inquiries and it can be answered by someone with better information. The idea is to refine our info in our lines and help those interested in the info. Of course, nothing should be taken as gospel without verifying info.
We should all have thick skins and not be offended when our info is challenged. It is all based on human information- some good- some bad, but very rarely ill intentioned.
Just my opinion- I could be wrong

In Volume Six, 1999 of the CONFEDERATE VETERAN, the Official Journal of the Sons of Confederate Veterans and Military Order of the Stars and Bars, appears a list of volunteers in the service of the Confederate States and in the State of Mississippi as returned by the Commissioners of Covington County in Feb. 1864.
The authors of the article are Henry A. and Mary Kay Hudson, and the authors used the abbreviations and spellings as they were recorded in the Police Court Record even though obvious errors were made by the Clerk of the Court as the data was entered into record. The book containing this data was found in the Covington County Courthouse in Coffins, Mississippi in 1988 while the author was conducting family research. These records are missing from the National Archives according to the Author.

My Arthur was killed in the spring of 1812 (don't have the date in front of me now). I had thought at one time that the marriage of the Arthur Lott to Mary Triplett in 1812 may have been to his son Arthur, but I've since found that is probably not the case since an Arthur Lott was living in Jefferson Co., GA, 1815-20 while my Arthur had gone to Miss.

Mr. Barron--
Having trouble with children as listed on the two wills of John Lott, also, why did he make two separate wills at the same date? There are no mention of Mark. There is a John Lott rev. soldier and John Lott jr. in Ga. that several claim to be the grave of John who md. Sally and their son.
Sincerely John E. Norris

There are two sets [of children] with some duplication of names. In the will and probate from 1808 of the elder John's children (all grown) are: Elizabeth, John, Robert, Jesse, and Luke. In the deed of gift from 1807 of the younger John's children (all minors) are: Elizabeth, Arthur, John, Robert, Jesse Fannie, and Sarah.
**********
If you will check the actual wording of the documents closely you will see that there were not two wills. The 1807 actions concerned a DEED OF GIFT between a younger John Lott and his minor children. The 1808 legal actions were a WILL and some probate activity between an older John Lott and his adult children. You can see the complete text of these as well as my endnotes if you will click on the following: http://hometown.aol.com/jbarron933/LottF/LottWashMSDeeds.htm
I don't know why the older John left son Mark out of his will perhaps he had already received his share. You see this sort of thing many time in dealing with wills and we seldom know why. I've been told that Mark did not move to Miss. with the others because of illness. I try to ignore "been tolds" and concentrate on real evidence, however. Mark did die shortly after this time too. Also, if you note the items in the will they are rather minor in value: one slave, some stock, and household furniture. I discuss this in my endnotes.
I have also "been told" about the graves and wife Sally in Georgia, but no one can produce evidence of them. All we supposedly know about them is from the DAR application of Frances Blitch which I believe is mostly bogus.

Mr. Barron--
I see where I made my mistake, thought that both wills were wrote by the 1 John.
This clears up that point.
I agree, the dar records are not any help in settling the where-abouts of John.
Been tolds do not help any but as I understand John was the one who was supposed to have came to Ms. and obtained land for the rest of the family. There again NO PROOF.
Now, I had a lady write me and state that a Thomas Henderson named his daughter in his will which was dated 1792, her name Judy Watts. I know there are several names given as hers, but Judith and John Watts oldest son was named Thomas Henderson Watts.
Am looking for proof........

John, I used to think both documents were written by the same man too until I saw the full texts of them. I had been sent a transcription of them some years ago which combined the list of children into one and made it appear as if they were all in the same family.
I'd like to hear the answer to this one too as Thomas Watts is my ancestor. I've seen people refer to him with the middle initial "H" but have never seen this used in an official record of him. Do you know where the will was recorded?

John;
With the file I sent you, you know as much as I do about Jesse. I will have to go through my notebooks to find the census records for his sons which will take some time. Unfortunately, Jesse died of Yellow Fever in 1843. Several of his children lived beyond 1880. If I can't find what I'm looking for in my notebooks I shall take a trip down to Mobile and check the census records and let you know. Just don't hold your breath because I hate to see blue faces, but I will get to it as time permits.
I think it is interesting that the Denmark family came to the Mississippi Territory from Georgia, though they had moved to Georgia from SC. Although there is some dispute about Jesse's first wife (my cousin b.1909 was taught she was Isabelle Denmark, but others think she was the older sister of the 2nd wife, but don't know her name. I go with Isabelle Denmark since a couple of the grandchildren were given the name of Isabelle, including one whose father was a Denmark) I think probably was a Denmark, Jesse's daughter married Bryant Denmark and he settled in roughly the same area that the Denmarks did. I have no way of knowing when they settled or if they knew of the families back in Georgia.

Thanks, Bill, I got them in the mail yesterday. It'll be a big help. You do know that the origin of this Jesse is disputed and some have claimed that he was from the SC group. I think you are correct about his ancestry, however, and that he is a part of the Georgia Lotts. I would like to confirm this some way, however. Do you have any evidence of his birth place other than family history? Did any of his children live long enough to be listed in the 1880 census since this asks about the birthplace of the father and mother?

I can see that you are an advanced genealogist, but like many of us you do need to pay more attention to recording your sources. I would like to call your attention to a genealogical program by Whollygenes that will almost force you to do this and guide you through it. It is The Master Genealogist. It is far superior to Family Tree Maker which to my eye is mostly window dressing: as my father would say "A mile wide and an inch deep."
Take a look at it at the following: Whollygenes
On my webpage is a paper concerning the early Lott family in which I discuss the connection between John Lott of Edgecombe Co., NC, and your SC Lotts. What are your comments on my conclusions?

Dear John: Could you please forward the following letter to the Lott group? I tried, but for some reason I keep getting a permanent fatal error, and I can't figure out why the system won't let me send it out to everyone. I guess I'm too knew at the computer game to figure it out - computer illiterate. I would really appreciate it. Stacy.
______________________________________________________________________
Dear Lott Group:
My name is Stacy B. and you've probably seen my e-mail address in the group list as geneanut@hotmail.com. I am a Lott descendent without a family; let me explain.
My mother was born Jacklyn Louise Lott on March 14, 1944 in St. Augustine, Florida. Her parents were JACK BENNETT LOTT and Dorothy Clark.
Jack and my grandmother met in San Antonio, Texas when he was stationed at Fort Sam Houston (Army) ca 1941-2. They were married in San Antonio ca 1942-3, and moved to St. Augustine where my mother came along a short time later. I have an address of "3 Rhodes, St. Augustine, Florida".
In 1947 my grandmother traveled back to Texas for a time, without Jack, then went back to Florida, and they were divorced. My grandmother moved back to Texas with 2 children from her first marriage, and my mother who was about 3 at the time. My mother hasn't seen her father since.
My grandmother remarried and her husband was the only father my mother knew. He has been "Daddy" and "Papa" to grandma's kids and grandkids.
My mother didn't know that her "Daddy" wasn't her real father until she was 18; she obtained her birth certificate in order to get married and saw the name. I didn't know until I was 15.
All we know about Jack Bennett Lott is that we was a few years younger than my grandmother, born ca 1918-20 in Georgia. His mother was reportedly full-blood indian - very short with little feet. Jack had black hair and blue eyes, and was nicknamed "blacky" due to his hair color.
We've been told that he didn't have any brothers, only sisters, and one was named Peggy. My mother's half-sister said that they lived with Peggy for a short time in either St. Augustine, Florida or Jacksonville, Florida.
Jack was a plumber in the Army and may have made that his trade after his discharge. His last known whereabouts was Talahassee, Florida.
My mother and I are trying to find Jack. My mother is sort of alone now, as her mother passed away in 1990, her half-brother passed away in 1991 (aged 51), and her half-sister passed away a few weeks ago (aged 57). The man she knew as her father now lives in New Mexico with his wife, so my mother doesn't see him very often.
My mother also has a health condition which she has been told is hereditary, but no one on her mother's side has ever had this condition. She feels it must come from her father's side, but she knows nothing about the family.
I have talked to so many people, have written to every Jack Lott I could find listed in Florida, but have had no luck. I just find it hard to believe that there are so many Lotts living in Georgia and Florida, all related whether closely or distantly, and no one knows of this branch of the family.
I have left messages on any geneology forum I could find, but have had no luck.
I have enjoyed learning about the southern Lott family from the immigrant down, and feel that these are our ancestors. But I don't know which branch, past the immigrant himself, is mine. I find all the Lott stories and information interesting, but right now none of the info really means much to me, because I don't know where I fit in.
My mother and I want to find Jack desperately. She really needs the health background, and I need the genealogy. We both would be interested in some contact, but will respect Jack or his family's wishes if they do not want the same. However, we still need the health and genealogical information either way.
I feel like it couldn't be too difficult to find a connection somewhere, as Jack's middle name is not a normal or common middle name. I feel Bennett must have been another family name, perhaps his mother's maiden name, or paternal grandmother's maiden name, etc.
Does anyone out there know anything about this family? Please, I need help. I know I'm a Lott, but I don't know where I belong. If any of you know ANYTHING or are in Georgia or Florida where you can research a little for me, I would be most appreciative. I know this e-mail is long, but I appreciate everyone's time and listening ear.
Thank you... a displaced cousin -
Stacy.

I forgot to tell you this, and I probably wouldn't have thought of it again had not someone objected to Jesse, but one of the first things I was told by one of the oldest living Lotts at the time who is not deceased, was that Jesse's brother, Robert, who lived in Marion County, MS, was murdered by the James Copeland gang. NOW, if Robert is acceptable, as far as I'm concerned, then Jesse is acceptable. I can't remember if he mentioned Luke or not because of Luke being a common name in Jesse's descendants.
Just a thought in passing.

Mr. Barron-
Thomas Henderson's will was probated in 1792. The lady said it was in Jenkinsville S.C. I have not found a Jenkinsville in S.C. it may no longer exist or be named different now. Wonder if may be in North Ga.
She also said the will was listed in the Richard Winn or Webb Chapter of Daughters of Revolution, which means someone has submitted Thomas Henderson as a rev. war veteran.
This lady Mrs. Motley, is also a descendent as we are. She said when she found this info it did not register therefore she only has a note about it.

I haven't a clue to who those other Lotts are that went to Texas. However, Benjamin F. Lott had a brother, William Lott b.6-5-1826 who went to Texas with him. They both fought in the Mexican War and then they both fought in the Civil War. I tried to find William in the 1880 census but didn't, even though he lived until 1904. They were both supposed to be in Gonzales, Co., TX. Unfortunately, the library in Mobile doesn't have a complete census record for Texas. I guess a library spends its money where most of the people live that use the genealogy library, such as surrounding counties of Alabama.
I believe the grandson of Jesse, Robert Lott, who was killed when a bridge fell on him was returning from Texas. It wasn't clear but I think they had taken shelter under the bridge when it collapsed on them and Robert was killed. The Lotts are an interesting family, I'm just sorry that my cousin didn't live long enough to know about your files.

Dear John and Bill:
I was in Gonzales last Monday researching Turner and Wade families, and there is information on the Benjamin Lott family in the Gonzales County Records Center & Archives.
I glanced over the info very quickly, as my Lotts are from Georgia and from what I know, only one member of our family came to Texas due to enlistment in the Army. He went back to Florida after his stint at Fort Sam Houston.
The manager of the archives is named Pat. She's extremely helpful and really nice to work with. They have biographical files, photo files, county history books on the town families, etc. They also have the marriage records (I KNOW for a fact some of the Lotts were in it - an old book about 11 X 18, each entry beautifully hand-written), and the original marriage licenses to go along with them! I can't remember what all I saw on the Lotts, but it might be worth someone's time to drive over to check it out.
They are open Monday thru Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. They have a web-site and they receive e-mail. Copies are 50 cents per page (if they copy one sheet double-sided, it's still only 50 cents).
Don't know what y'all are looking for specifically, but I hope this info helps.
Stacy.

<< The arthur Lott in the Will of John Lott is not the Arthur Lott who was killed by indians, am I correct. >>
John, there was no Arthur listed in the will of John Lott. He was in the deed of gift of John Jr. to his minor children in 1807. The Arthur Lott that was killed by the Indians in 1812 was born about 1750.
None of the other families that I work on seem to have this problem where every married couple repeated the same set of name for the kids. It's a wonder we have made any progress with them, isn't it.
John I think the Arthur in the deed of gift was the one that married Harriet Wheddon in 1831 and died in Texas about 1848. Does this ring a bell with you?

John,
Elizabeth Hemingway's descendant chart of Jesse Lott is quite interesting. Thanks for putting it up on the web. I've only looked at a bit of it, but two things caught my eye immediately. She puts the marriage of John Lott and Elizabeth Joyner at about 1740 and yet these two had supposedly had children going back to the early 1720s. Also, she has their eldest son John as b. 1724. Do you know of what she might be relying on for these dates? Any comments from you or her would be welcome.

Jason, I've seen reference to this marriage before, but can't put my hands on the source right now. Did this couple move to Sabine Co. and Martin die there? Did Elizabeth remarry?
I invite you to join our research group of 100+ who study the southern Lotts. You can check some of our work on my web page. Tales of Indian blood abound with the family, but no credible evidence exists.

Dan, I saw one of your charts concerning the above Arthur and noted that you have him as a son of John b. 1742. What is your thinking on this?
It seems to me that he better fits as a son of Absalom. John did not name him in his will of 1808 (did not name Mark either, for that matter). This Arthur seemed to come to Miss at about the same time as Absalom and the Watts family c1815. In studying the Indian affidavits the names mentioned are those of Absalom's children such as Elizabeth (m. Thomas Watts), William, and Nathan. The grandchildren, of course, confused Absalom as Arthur.
Lets bat this around a bit. Did I get all the info that you sent on the board? I may have lost a message.

Thanks for your enquiry, John. I don't have a Lott-Martin marriage in my records. I monitor a southern Lott discussion group, however, and we'll see if any of them recognize this couple. I invite you to join our group. Let me know and I'll add your name to the list. We store our research findings on my web page which can be accessed by clicking on the following John Barron's Home Page
Do you have a location for their marriage and might it be Marion Co., MS? There were several Nathan Lotts there and later in Covington Co. All Lott descendants think they have Indian blood. No one has shown any evidence of this (that is contemporary with the event) but there are many records that date from the 1890s forward (100 years after the "fact"). As you might surmise I don't believe any of it, but am open to anything new on the subject.

I was interested in the Indian claim affidavit; especially the date. We see these things a great deal in studying the Lott and Watts families, however, they seemed to have begun about 1890 when the Oklahoma Terr. was being settled. This 1871 date is intriguing. I never put any faith in what these things say since they are self serving and always hear-say, but you never know. There were no Choctaw in Georgia, of course, and the ones I've seen are just repeating some family legend which occurred generations prior to their time.

There has always been a good bit of doubt in my family about the "indian thing" with Grandma Faircoth. A bit of history on her --she was an anglican--the first episcopal church in the what is now Vernon parish La. was her private chapel-the cemetery there is still known as Elizabeth Chapel. She married her first husband (my ancestor) in Jackson county Ga. in the 1820's--the affidavit signed by her children states that she was born in Mississippi--so she was far from home and in Cherokee country when she married Martin. We do have her picture--in middle age--looks rather like my Mother and she does not look like an indian.
Recently however, I was contacted by a professor, who is writing a civil war history on the central part of La. based on a book written after the was by a turn coat southerner. This coward was captured by Capt. Robert W. Martin--the son of Elizabeth Lott Martin--Uncle Robert was charged with rounding up deserters and jayhawkers and seeing that they were punished - anyway, the jawhawker wrote in his book that Uncle Martin was an indian--he said this insultingly--or rather that he was part indian.
Most in my family do not believe the indian stuff--they were never accepted on the Indian Rolls and frankly until I see more credible proof, I doubt it myself.

Hey John,
This is going to be a rather long e-mail as I went home and found a copy of that affidavit about Elizabeth's Indian ancestry.
I was wrong--she died in 1871 and the affidavit was done in 1911.According to the document she was the daughter of Willaim Lott and a sister to Nathan Lott. It states that she was a native of Mississippi. She was born around 1804. She was supposed to be the grandaughter of Dice Lott, who was the daughter of John Lott, who was supposed to be some kind of "lesser" chief of the Choctaws. Frankly, I am not sure of any of this--She did not live the life of an indian woman. She and her first husband, Tandy Key Martin were certainly pioneers but they traveled with a large number of slaves--18 to be exact and built an impressive house on the La. frontier. Her granddaughters attended Sacred Heart Academy in the 1850's in Natchitoches La. and her sons the University Of Louisiana at New Orleans (this school became Tulane) and one son became a regimental doctor during the war--hard to believe that indians would have lived such a life. Their pictures reveal them to be dark haired and rather handsome people--I wish that I could determine if this indian stuff were true or not--if it is then she was probably living among indians that had white fathers and because she was no hut or tepee type squaw!
Not sure of just how the Choctaw's lived as far as housing goes--I'm rambling.

Thanks, Arlina, I haven't seen this particular document. Remember, however, that there were two Johns on the Tory Mobile scene: John "Sr." with the widow named Emile and John "Jr." who got his land grant in Feb 1778. I think they are John1 and John2 in my line up. All seemed to have left Mobile (except perhaps Absalom) when American ally Spain seized the area in 1780. Absalom swore out allegiance to Spain that year and John2 (John Jr.) returned to the colonies and began making land records again in 1787.
I'm still not satisfied with the descriptive location of these grants described as 105 and 110 miles above Mobile on the Tombigbee. How could this be and how did they come up with these numbers "as the crow flies" or meanderings of the river? Perhaps the answer lies with Jesse Lott on the Dog River above Mobile.

Recently there's been some discussion on the list concerning the children of Nathan and Dicey Lott. My question concerns their son Thomas. What can you tell me about this individual? Information from several correspondents give his birth year as 1815, yet the 1850 Census shows Thomas Lott, at age 25, and Dicey Lott, age 69, in the same household. If this is the same Thomas, then either 1815 or the census age is incorrect.
Does anyone have more information on this man and his family? As yet, I do not have a date of death or a burial location for Thomas Lott.
An interesting side note -- the Dawes Roll record of Nathan and Dicey's children does not include a Thomas.

Dear Ann and John,
Hi! I tried to send you a much bigger Gedcom file from my FTM 5.0 last evening but, as it turned out, it was too big to send through AOL.....so.....am sending a smaller one instead. It has much of what I have been working on in LIGHTFOOT and some other lines feeding into LIGHTFOOT line. There are quite a lot of the lines that I have additioinal information on. There's not much in this on the LOTT and HATTEN lines just as they connect up with the LIGHTFOOT possibilities through Martha Jane Dorsey LIGHTFOOT. Obviously, this is still not proven but much research has gone into it and, at this point, it is looking very strongly circumstantial that this is her LIGHTFOOT family. Just not exactly sure on some of the finer points yet.
Just consider this a rough draft at this point. There are still many things to add, correct, etc.. This particular LIGHTFOOT file is one I just grabbed right now to send as I am very disappointed that I couldn't send the 'whole ball of wax!' But I will get it to you later.
Sorry it's taken so very long to get this and other things I will be sending along....but I have been working extensively on all of my different lines at one time as so very many of them connect with each other and I still have thousands of files to get into Gedcom information......yike!!!!
At any rate, I am so grateful to you both as well as other of our cousins and researchers for the help that you have been giving me in my work. It has been so very helpful.

I've been trying to tidy up her line lately, and needed a death date for Elizabeth Lott Martin (wife of Berry Martin), daughter of Reuben Watts Lott. She was born in 1846.
Elizabeth's death certificate says her father was Watts Lott but that her mother's name was Nancy Lott. All info I've seen says Reuben Watts Lott married Ruth Rayborn. I then looked up the D.C. for Elizabeth's younger brother, Wiley P. Harris Lott, and it says his mother was Ruth Rayborn. Does anyone in the circle know of another marriage for Watts Lott? Or is this just another incorrect death certificate?

Sorry folks, Martha Rader brought a careless error to my attention from my previous e-mail from this AM. Elizabeth Lott, dau. of Reuben Watts Lott and ? married John Martin, not Berry Martin. Of course, Berry and Elizabeth Broom were the PARENTS of this John Martin. Still interested to know if anyone has Reuben Watts Lott being married more than once. I'm going to try to find other death certificates for his older children.

Well, the problem is that if the 105 miles were "ATCF" then it would put him way up in mid-southern Alabama in what would then have been total wilderness (at least for white people). If the property really was on the Tombigbee then it seems it would have to have been 105 miles of river meanderings.
Neither makes good sense to me. What do you thank?

<< could you put a link to my pages at the juncture of #38 Candiza Lott and her two children Mary Jane Bowen and Susannah Lott Pluckett>>
Thanks, L.D., for your comments and suggestions. I'm just an old retired FORTRAN programmer groping around with this internet stuff. The descendant chart is generated by my genealogy program, The Master Genealogist, and if I put a link to your site in line, I would surely forget about it the next time I uploaded with changes. What I can do is put the link on the Lott page and explain where it belongs in the lineup. Does that sound satisfactory?
<< when I do a control F to search your page I get a visual basic runtime

I don't know what a control F is supposed to do. The Visual Basic message must be coming from MS FrontPage which is what I used to produce the web page. Not sure what I can do about it.
<< you should convert these pages to pdf make them not printable keep more control of your work >>
I'm not real sure what pdf files are, but I assume you can convert htm files with Adobe software to create them. I'm not sure I'd want to do this, however, as I would be plagued by people wanting me to send them the files. What advantage would that give me? This new world of internet publishing troubles me as an author and copyright issues are pretty vague at this point. What is your thinking on it?

John,
Can you put me in contact with anyone who is doing serious Lott research in GA on the Lott's about 1820 or before?
Elizabeth Lott b. abt 1804 GA m. Tandy Key Martin November 30, 1820 must have belonged to one of these lines.
There is also a connection with my line in the following email copied from your homepage in that Rees Perkins is also in my line as a 4th or 5th great grandparent.

John,
OK, looks like the balance of evidence points towards her name being Clapp and away from Watkins. I'm making that change to my files, although I will leave the Watkins name as an alias. What tipped the scale was the Indian Affairs Rejection Letter of 1902 that refers to her as Sarah Ann Clapp. I'd still like to know if it is possible that she had both names - one a maiden name and the other from a previous marriage.
My files show that Sarah married her second husband, John Elias Warren, on June 28, 1816. He was born on December 18, 1752 in Craven Co, SC and died May 22, 1821 in Marion Co, MS. His first wife was Elizabeth Rebecca Perkins, daughter of Elizabeth Colson and Rees Perkins. They married on Jan 25, 1773 in Craven Co, SC. She was born on April 05, 1757 in Prince Frederick, Craven Co, SC and died July 22, 1811 in Sandy Hook, Marion Co, MS. They had Elizabeth Warren who married Sampson Edward Ball and Martha Jane Warren who married William Milton Rankin.
Like you, I have no firm dates or locations for Sarah's birth or death or her marriage to Arthur Lott.
Regards, JL
If these folks knew each other in SC, they must be the same group that intermarried in GA.
Hope someone can help me with this.
Thanks, Sherry

John,
Thanks so much for sending me the preview of your work. It is a very interesting story. I agree that some facts are frequently mixed with some fantasy and it is difficult to sort out the truth. You are doing a wonderful job of connecting all of us with our Lott ancestors.
I will scan and send you a copy of a letter written about 1960. Among the personal information, there is the story of how Elizabeth Lott lost her first husband, Tandy Key Martin. The letter was written by a great granddaughter of TKM and Elizabeth Lott.
The letter was transcribed exactly as written as best that the handwriting could be deciphered.
FYI Tandy Key Martin was killed in 1841 in Sabine Co. TX and is buried there. Elizabeth remarried Wiley Faircloth and they were living in Sabine Pa. LA by 1860. She died and is buried there in Elizabeth Chapel Episcopal Cemetery. The Chapel is named in her honor.

Very interesting, Mel. This may be a little bit over blown, but from my childhood in east Texas, I can remember many old black people who spoke just like this. I have dabbled with writing a novel concerning an incident about a slave family of my great-grandfather, Cowan McClung, and an Indian raid. I tried to capture this dialect, but it didn't come easy. Larry McMurtry in his novel "Lonesome Dove" is a master of it.

Hi--Just thought I'd pass along some info for your files on Reuben Watts Lott, son of Nathan and Dicey [Watts] Lott, since I've been asking questions about him lately. You can use this for your site, as I don't think you have this info.
I still am not convinced that he was only married once, but proof eludes me at this point. He was born ca 1822, and married at some point to Rutha (not Bertha) Rayborn (per death certificates of children). I'll list his children, but first will point out that I have not found a death certificate for his oldest child, and the death certificate for the second child lists her mother as "Nancy Lott". There is a four year gap, and then the death cert. for the third child says the mother was "Miss Ruth Rayborn". Interesting. At any rate, here are Reuben Watts Lott's children:
1. Nathan J. Lott b. 1844 d. ? md. Mary Herrin
2. Elizabeth Lott b. 1846 d. 1914 md. John Martin
3. Julia Lott b. 1850 d. 1929 md. Thaddeus Cobb Broom
4. James Arthur Lott b. 1852 d. 1922 md. Lenora Dicey Carter
5. Thomas W. Lott ?
6. Wiley P. Harris Lott b. 1855 d. 1930 md. 1st Tabitha Elizabeth Graham; md. 2nd Caroline Herrin
7. Felix Jefferson Lott b. 1855 (twin to Wiley) d. ? md. Lizzie Bryant?
8. Asa Lott b. 1857 d. 1920 md. Zaney Martin
9. Sarah Catherine Lott b. 1862 d. ? md. John William Blackburn
10. Walter Watts Lott b. 1866 d. 1937 md. Arbell Graham
If anyone has any further info, please let me know.

Hi, Vince
Here are the children I have for Reuben and Ruth Rayborn, which only adds a little to what you have. My info comes from "Family Records" which means various things to various people. This is not my direct line, so the info came to me while researching my own lines over the last 20 years. I am still not convinced that the Wm m Mary Bryant in this family really belongs there. I can't prove yet that he was youngest son of Absalom, but I'm still working on it.

Jack, I read with interest your message concerning this couple. I have done considerable research on the Lott family and would like very much to compare notes with you. If you will check my web page at John Barron's Home Page you will find a group of records from Washington Co., MS Terr. One of these is a deed of gift dated 1807 from John Lott to his minor children. Among these is Fanny. I believe this same John Lott in Marion Co., MS, c1820 gave some property to his daughter Fanny, wife of James (I think) Alexander. With this in mind, I believe that your date of birth for Frances is much too early. Are we referring to the same couple.
Also I moderate a group of 100+ researchers who study the southern Lott family. I invite you to join our group. We store many of our results on the above sited web page. Let me hear from you.

Jack, I do believe that you are correct about the John in Washington Co., MS Terr being the son of John3 (b 1742) and brother of the Frances m. John Alexander. I was thinking about the younger Frances (Fannie). I would like very much to know what your sources for Frances being John3's daughter. I've never seen this stated before.
There are several other items for debate about the children you show above. I think some of them that you show actually belong to John b 1742. For instance I believe that:
1) Lavicy Williams was the 2nd wife of Jesse Lott born 1780 who died near Mobile c1840 and who was a son of John3,
2) The John Lott who married Thirza Easterling was not the John that you show. They were in Choctaw Co., AL in 1850 while the John you show died in Texas about 1848. Thirza and children were in Texas by 1870 too, however. I don't know for sure which John she married, but I think he was the son of Arthur killed by the Indians. This John may have been the one that first married Elizabeth Lee in Marion Co.
3) The Arthur Lott that you list married Sarah Sones (not Jones) daughter of Henry Sones first and Harriet Whidden 2nd and also died in Texas about 1848.
I'd be interested in you comments and evidence for your list, however, and am always looking for better information.

John, The Fanny Lott and John Alexander that you spoke of what is the years and children on them. I'm hunting a John Alexander that had a daughter Nancy b cir 1802 and married a Samuel B Clanton in Ga. They received land in 1820 land lottery in Irwin Co., Ga. The Fanny Lott that you mention I believe is a child of the John Lott born abt 1764 in Ga. and he is a brother to the Frances Lott that I'm hunting. Also believe that John Jr's wife is daughter of Phillip Lightfoot of Va. not a indian. One of John Jr's brothers also married a Lightfoot sister to John Jr's wife.

John et al.
The overwhelming time involved in my senior year in college has taken its toll. Since I arrived home from my visit last fall in Oct. and Nov. to East Texas and a brief trip to Sabine Parish, La., I have little time to devote to the Lott Circle. I do read my mail and have often wanted to reply. In light of my connection to Nathan Lott (my gg grandfather), I felt the need to reply.
Without my research material in front of me, I will try to be brief. Nathan Lott (b ca 1800) married Dicey Lott Lott at quite a late age. Form what I was able to glean from family, they were settled in SW La. (an area of Merryville) prior to moving northward to Sabine Parish. Many of Nathan's children continued to live around this area, some moving into SE Texas in the area of Houston and Beaumont. There were many conflicts in the Strickland line with land being taken over by oil companies and later on there was involvement with lawyers over Indian land restitution. My grandmother, Zilpha Eliza Ann Lott (m Dee Strickland) was Andrew Jackson Lott's daughter and Nathan's G daughter---incidentally, Zilpha had a twin sister, something I have seen on occasion in this family line, her name was Lydia Dicey Ann Lott. Sometime in the late 40's, early 50's, members of this family received app. $00.50 in an Indian claims lawsuit.
More interesting is the newspaper article that my aunt is still searching for which tells of Nathan Lott performing a dance during the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek (I think this is the proper name of Choctaw treaty of 1837) I will go no further with the issue of NA heritage other than this.
I realize that I am related to more than one line of Lotts by the fact that my GG grandmother Dicey Lott Lott was the granddaughter of Nathan and Dicey Watts Lott and the Nathan she married seems to be as much of a question of lineage as my gg grandpa Nathan. I gather from the info on the Lott Circle that my gggg grandpa Nathan is a son of Arthur Lott while my gg grandpa is the son of Absolom Lott. Although I am eager to find definitive answers in this area, I will be satisfied with what info I have gained in last eight months since finding your group.
Should anyone be interested in finding more out about this line, I speculate that much will be found in the area of West Louisiana. I made one attempt to visit the grave site of my Great grandfather, John Strickland, buried on Mt. Merritt just across the bridge from Texas in Sabine Parish, La. Private property owners have pretty much cut off access to the cemetery. I was told at the marina that any attempts on my part would be met with trespassing charges. I did manage to find in Sabine CO. Texas the Jones graveyard, a site of only fourteen graves now surrounded completely by forest, no homesteads within miles. I have often seen the Jones name far back into the 1700s of the Lott lineage. Perhaps there is also a connection here as census records place their birth places and their parent's, back to Georgia. Elizabeth Jones is my Maternal GG Grandma, mother to Julia, wife of AJ Lott. It was at this site where I located my GGG grandparents, some of the earlier settlers in SE Sabine Co. Texas. There were other names at this site who must have been intertwined with the Jones, namely Woodward, Weatherford, Shiver and Lamberth. Several of these people were born prior to the 1800s.
I'm sure I have not said much that most are already familiar with, but I would be pleased to communicate with anyone interested in this line, my problem now merely a matter of time availability. One interesting fact that I would like to leave you with concerns the family name Lott and its speculative origins. This comes with my research of prehistoric Europe, blood types, and the earliest settlements of SW Europe.
Directly in the middle of the prehistoric cave cultures which exist in great numbers in southwestern France, is the Lot River and valley region. It sits directly south of the Dordogne River and NE of the Garrone River which is fed by the Lot River. Anyone interested in our "earliest" ancestors might begin here. Some clues to solving the mysteries of our lineage may come in the way of blood types. The Basque of the Pyrenees which separate Spain and France, have the greatest concentration of O- blood in the world. The Native Americans who were a result of migrations from Asia across the Bering land bridge consisted exclusively of O+ type. There have been other theories for these migrations as well as indications of A and B types which are more the exception than the rule.
Curiously, my father is of the O+ type, and my mother, who has some French background, is O-. I retained the O-, and my sons are both O+ as well as my husband who is exclusively of German ancestry. It has been theorized by Cavalli-Sforza in The Great Human Diasporas that O+ is possibly the foundation blood type of all modern humans and the Asians who made their way to the Americas carried this type with them during their Ice Age migrations, hence it is one of the purest blood lines to exist.
I would be curious as to a graph of blood types in our family lines, and perhaps the conclusions which may be reached by mitochondrial DNA analysis of our blood lines.
I am sincerely sorry I have no documented evidence to contribute to the group at this time. I do know that if anyone is interested in following the tracks of Sabine Parish, La., one might move over to Sabine Co. where there is documentation of one of Nathan's bloodlines, my Great Grandfather, Andrew J. Lott in the census records. There is documentation of his marriage to Julia in Sabine Parish, La. which is documented in Sabine Co. as Andrew Lodge m. Julie Jones. There is also documentation in census of both the Jones and Lott families from 1860s on. There is also a small manual which I located in Hemphill, at the historical museum attached to the courthouse (the old hangman's tower) which lists most cemeteries and those buried within each. I was able to find several mistakes in my own researching and often located undocumented graves, clearly overlooked, but in general and considering a need of updating, it lists well over 70 sites. The problem is the unmarked grave sites which total in the thousands. This does not seem a lot in light of the fact that Sabine Parish and Sabine County contained the main road of travel into Texas during its earliest migrations of settlement.
One remaining fact which I forgot to mention. My G Grandfather, AJ Lott was a member of the Florida CSA, a fact which is written on his headstone in the Lott Cemetery of Sabine, Co. Texas. Florida is also the birthplace of Julie(Julia) Jones, AJ's wife. Both sets of parents born in Georgia.
Keep up the wonderful research. You are all an inspiration to me

Darryl, I'm not sure how you connected me to the above, but there may be a link many generations back. Although I'm not aware of any primary evidence, there are several secondary (family genealogy books) references to Aaron Lott as a Copeland ancestor. Some think that this Aaron is kin to the John Lott b c1700 of Edgecombe Co., NC, who is my ancestor.

Hi, John,
Yes.... and not totally....as I would still like to discern more precisely which branch she belongs to if possible.
It's looking very solid for this LIGHTFOOT family line from Reverend Richard LIGHTFOOT but I still would like to nail it down even more for precisely as to which branch this family group in Antigua comes from as well as making sure, if possible, that our Martha Jane is the same Martha Jane that is the sister of Margaret Susannah but it certainly appears to be.
I am really curious about the Lott HACKLEY that I wrote about in the post that is the son of Francis LIGHTFOOT and wife: Frances SLAUGHTER as I feel like the derivation of the Lott in his name might provide one more key that could be most helpful in helping tie it all together as there are so many connecting surnames between the HATTEN/HATTON and LOTT families here with JOYNER and UNDERWOOD as well as others showing up.
I was very excited to see some other information linking more of these families together and since it links them to the John 2 down through the Goodrich and Sherwood LIGHTFOOT descendants that is in keeping with the current thought that the group in Antigua descends from this group....so it certainly makes sense.
I am just in hopes that someone on the list has some more information on this Lott HACKLEY family group as it might just provide what I need to discern exactly where it all connects more precisely. But as I have only just gotten this piece of info I will be doing more searching for more on him myself and maybe I will come up with something else shortly. Will let you know as soon as I do.

Bellinda, what a terrific find this is for Martha Jane Lightfoot. Are you satisfied that this is the one who was the wife of Absalom? I must admit that I haven't been able to keep up with all the Lightfoot research that you have done, but it seems you are beginning to focus on the right group.

Dear Betty,
Interesting work you are doing with bloodtypes.
While my husband and children are O+ blood type which I think that mother may be as well, I am the more rare A- and my father is either A- or AB- can't remember. Do you have any tracking done on the A- ?
When we talked before did you ever tell me whether you had found any LIGHTFOOT names in your LOTT or Indian heritage areas? Can't remember how far we got on that discussion. While I think that the LIGHTFOOT line that Martha Jane is from is the English line into Virginia.....I still think that there is Indian, prob. Choctaw or Cherokee that came into the line possibly with Martha's mother or ??? and still looking to find that info. I have not, as of yet, been able to pin down a last name for the Susannah ? that appears to be Martha's mother and Phillip's wife. It is suggested that it might be LITTLEPAGE or LITTLE or PAGE.

Dear Jean and Jason,
Hi! I am still here!
I don't mean to be so remote but I have been working on all of my research extensively every day since we last communicated trying to make strides forward. Some lines have been tremendously successful in revealing themselves and some I am still stuck with one name!
Just yesterday, though, something very interesting happened.....as I was going through my SLAUGHTER family information and merging some Gedcom files in my FTM 5.0 I just happened to see the name of Lott HACKLEY which caught my attention with the first name Lott especially in connection with my LOTT ancestral line and other lines that were all pretty much in the same places along the routes through the Carolinas out of Virginia and since most of them came over in the 1600's they really did travel the same paths for the most part.
Anyway.....I noticed that Lott HACKLEY's father is Francis HACKLEY and his mother is Frances LIGHTFOOT. That really peaked my interest because of the mention of LOTT and LIGHTFOOT in the same family....since my Martha Jane Dorsey LIGHTFOOT, b: abt. 1763, married Absalom LOTT, born: abt. 1760.
I looked for info on the search area of the Family Tree Maker website for Lott HACKLEY and nothing....and then I tried searching for Francis HACKLEY and went to a website for The Descendants of Francis HACKLEY, I believe, and started getting lots of corresponding family surnames from my lines including HATTON/HATTEN, UNDERWOOD (the daughter of Martha Jane Dorsey LIGHTFOOT and Absalom LOTT named Frances Lucretia 'Patsy' LOTT, born: abt. 1800 in AL?, and she married William HATTEN/HATTON, the son of Lewis Lamkin HATTEN/HATTON and Sarah 'Sally' UNDERWOOD, daughter of Jacob UNDERWOOD and his wife: Hannah CLARK.)
There are, also, connections to GRUBB and BEESON families which rang very loudly in my brain when I remembered your Curtis Grubb BEESON who married Martha Jane CLARK, daughter of Margaret Susannah LIGHTFOOT KOCH/COOK, born: 1764, widow of Heinrich KOCH/Henry COOK, and her second husband: Henry CLARK.
Before I list some of the following family tree information that connects this line very quickly to Goodrich (1) and (2) LIGHTFOOT men, I just wanted to say that it certainly seems to make it more than just slightly possible that this is, definitely, the right family group to link my Martha Jane Dorsey LIGHTFOOT, too, more conclusively.
Let me know what you think.
Also, do you need me to send you the link to the HACKLEY website or is that something that you already are aware of?
Please take a look at the following.
Sincerely,
Bellinda Myrick - Barnett
(continuing where I left off and listing ancestors and descendants)

Hi Cindy LOTT (Carter?),
I've received all my information from "Dan", Daniel F. LOTT and Joseph N. LOTT. I'm sure that my web site does not reflect the latest information on the LOTT family because I have not updated it recently.
I will sent this to them and to John Barron's LOTT Circle and to the LOTT-L@rootsweb.com mailing list for their input.
I've managed to get this from other sources (Robert Nathaniel LOTT, Sr. and Family Search at LDS web site): Robert Lamar Lott, Sr. and Lucy Olive "Ollie" Knight are my great-grandparents.
And, this is what I started with: Truman Hathorne and Sarah "Sally" or "Sallie" Elizabeth Lott are my grandparents.
Since I am sending this to all of the above people, can anyone provide me with anymore information on Dixie LOTT who married Rankin STOGNER?

Pat. I come from Nathan Lott and Dicey Watts line. I have recently been emailed that my Nathan is the son of Authur Lott and O K Sel Des Hulto. That looks very close to your Authur Lott and Deshultz. Do you know anything about this. All these Lott's with all the same names really gets confusing. I am a Lott by the way. I would appreciate any information you may have on this.

Dear John,
(Let me know if the file has not attached properly.)
Here is the file with the LIGHTFOOT letter (called LIGHTFOOT1Letter) that I received from one of the LIGHTFOOT researchers, Jason GRAY. The letter was written to a Mr. George F. HUNT of Dallas, Texas by Mrs. Bessie CHANNELL HATCHETT of Ada, Oklahoma, who descends from the Margaret Susannah LIGHTFOOT COOK/KOCH CLARK line.
The information is a little hard to follow with all the same names, different people.
At the top of page 3 you will see that Bessie begins with (WHO IS GRANNY?)
(MARTHA JANE WHO?) Realizing that this is not the earlier and younger Martha Jane that she had referred to as great granny, Martha Jane SIBERT WADDELL,
the above reference Granny at the top of page 3 (WHO IS GRANNY?) (MARTHA JANE WHO?) is, apparently, talking about the Martha Jane LIGHTFOOT, sister of Margaret Susannah LIGHTFOOT, children of Susannah ? and Phillip LIGHTFOOT. And, according to the date of 1773 mentioned regarding the trip taken by the Martha Jane LIGHTFOOT from Antigua to Georgia at the age of 10 years old it would indicate that she was born in 1763. Her sister, Margaret Susannah LIGHTFOOT was, apparently, born in 1764 and married in abt. 1781, as did, apparently, Martha Jane Dorsey LIGHTFOOT and Absalom LOTT.
Interestingly enough, I just read that 'Nancy' is a nickname sometimes during that er for Susannah which I had not hear before. I know about 'Sally' for Sarah, 'Polly' for Mary, 'Fannie' for Frances, 'Patsy' for Martha, etc. but the 'Nancy' for Susannah is a new one for me. So, if that is acurate that should be considered when looking at info for this Susannah and Phillip.
Also, in this letter it mentions Henry Benskin LIGHTFOOT as being without issue. Apparently, this has been proven to be inaccurate. While he did not have children with his wife who did accompany him on what was, I believe, his first trip to Antigua, he did either at that time or during a separate stay in Antigua, have more than one child, I believe, with a mulatto woman that was either a slave or in his employ in Antigua. The child or children were mentioned in his will and left a home/homes.
And, there is, according to other more newly found information, a Phillip or more than one Phillip, in this branch which comes from a line inclusive of many Phillip/Philip LIGHTFOOT men. And the Susannah STONE mentioned in the last paragraph on page 4 was, apparently, another Margaret Susannah LIGHTFOOT who married STONE who has been confused, regularly, with the Margaret Susannah LIGHTFOOT who married Henry COOK/Heinrich KOCH and Henry CLARK, 2nd husband.
Also, regarding the speaking of German in the household of Margaret Susannah LIGHTFOOT and husband, Henry COOK/Heinrich KOCH. The information that I received from Jason GRAY and other LIGHTFOOT researchers is, I believe, that Heinrich KOCH was kidnapped either in Germany or elsewhere in Europe and forced to served in the service of England in the Revolutionary War in America during which time he escaped and made his way to serve in the Continental Army and continued fighting in the Revolutionary War for the rebels. At some time, he changed his name, Heinrich KOCH, to Henry COOK.
It is the LIGHTFOOT branch of Henry Benskin LIGHTFOOT that the earlier mentioned Goodrich LIGHTOOT and Lott HACKLEY (1) and (2,) and others mentioned along with them, are closely related along with HATTEN/HATTON, UNDERWOOD and other lines that are, also, closely related name wise, to our LOTT line, in my branch, as mentioned in the other emails.

<< I am looking for information on the parents of Nathan Lott that married Dicey Watts. I understand it was Authur Lott and ???Deshultz? or Des Hulto. Do you have this info., or could you direct me? >>
Cindy, you and a thousand others are looking for the parents of Nathan Lott. There are numerous Indian claims affidavits given about 1900 by grandchildren that give his parents as you show above, but I don't believe any of them. For one thing they are self serving and are attempts to curry favors for relatives and friends, but more importantly they are sworn statements depicting events that supposedly occurred before the affiants were even born. They would be immediately thrown out of any court case as hearsay. You can see some of these documents on my web page at: John Barron's Home Page
I believe that there is a grain of truth here, however, and if anything can be made of these affidavits, such as the one give in Mason Co. by Absalom L. Watts and his sons, it is that Nathan was a brother of Elizabeth Lott wife of Thomas Watts. These are my ancestors too. We know from primary deed evidence that her father was Absalom Lott, but the affidavits given by her grandchildren said it was Arthur Lott and an Indian girl named Deschultz or variations of such. Another brother named William was also listed.
Every Lott and Watts descendant that I have been in contact with express some belief that they have Indian blood. While there were obviously valid Indian claims by persons of these names, there has never been any primary evidence that I know of that would show any Indian ancestry of the Lott and Watts families of Marion/Covington Co., MS. Indians were considered "colored people" and the Lotts were large slave owners and very prominent in the community. Marriage would have been unthinkable and openly taking up with an Indian woman would have caused a scandal of the first degree. I think this is exactly what happened. I think the Arthur who "married" Deschultz was a brother of Elizabeth Lott Watts and a son of Absalom Lott and Martha Jane Lightfoot. This union would have been passed down in both the Lott and Watts families, but the grandchildren got the relationship confused (not unusual at all when dealing with family legends).
The Lott Circle is a group of 100+ on-line researchers who study the southern Lott family. We debate such subjects as above and try to pull information together from many different perspectives. I will add you to the list.

Thank you for your reply. We have always heard the rumors of Indian relatives, but we never believed it. We also were aware of how Indians were thought of, and it never made since to us. Also, the few Lott relatives we know were all born blonde and blue eyed. I myself have my mother's brown eyes.

Cindy, if you would check the John Lott Descendant chart on my web page you will find all of the persons that you mention above. The John Lott who married Sarah Aultman was a son of Nathan Lott and Dicey Watts. This John and Sarah had a daughter Dicey who married a much younger Nathan Lott.
There were two (at least) Nathans and Diceys who married but these are generations apart. Hope that helps

Dayne, I saw some of your message on the Genforum and would like to invite you to join our group of 100+ on-line researchers who study the Lott family. Many share your line of Lucretia Lott and Wm. Hatten. I think she was the daughter of Absalom Lott and Martha Jane "Patsy" Lightfoot and the "Indian" part stems from a family scandal involving one of her brothers who took up with an Indian girl. This legendary info was "set in stone" when it was put on her tombstone years after her death by her descendants.
We debate these sort of questions on a regular basis, especially when new members come on board, and would be happy to hear your ideas and perspectives. Take a look at my web page to see some of our work and archives Lott Circle messages and let me hear from you.

********************************************
It looks to me like Simion (I don't really think it was Simion but rather Simon) was not a son of William and Mary. His birthdate shows him being born in December of 1853 and Allen Gains Lott being born in January of 1854. My husband and I did some substantial research last summer at the McCain Archives at the University of Southern Mississippi - a wonderful place for genealogy! - and found more information about this Simion. The W.P.H. stood for Wiley P. Harris. I don't know what that really means but I do know that I found a Wiley Pope Harris listed in Pike County, Mississippi that was about the same age as William Lott. Now as far as I know, Thomas Jefferson was the son of William. I only started this research last summer and am now in the process of interviewing some of my husband's (Sam Thompson) older cousins to fill in more holes. I do want to note that the Louisa Robertson that married Nathan Willis Lott was the older sister to Martha Ann Robertson the wife of Thomas Jefferson Lott. In the Robertson files at the McCain library it is mentioned that these two sisters married two brothers Lott. In some family information (info in the LDS files) there is mention that Thomas Jefferson Lott had a first wife "blank" Holcomb. I find nothing in my husband's history to indicate that there was a first wife. He married at 21 years of age and Martha Ann Robertson was a staunch Baptist (her father was Norvelle Rowe Robertson). Information from a Diane Lafferty (descendent of Eliza Lott, oldest daughter of William) shows Thomas Jefferson marrying a second time in Louisiana at about 1880. This is not possible since he fathered 7 children with Martha Ann after that date and gave his daughter Annie Jane Lott (my husband's grandmother) away at her wedding in 1909 about 3 years before his death in or around 1912. As far as the information in the William Lott bible, well it is only as good as the one who copied it. There is a significant error, the information printed indicates " Mary Watts died June 1, 1912" . I can only assume that this is the death date for Mary Jane LOTT not Watts. Until I view the actual page myself, I will continue to believe that Thomas Jefferson was a son of William. The information about the birth dates of the children of Thomas Jefferson Lott was written in Martha Ann Robertson/Lott's personal bible prior to Thomas Jefferson Lott's death. The following is the descendency information that I have:

Belia,
I read with interest your recent post to the Lott Circle concerning the descendants of William Lott and Mary Bryant Lott. I have done a good bit of research on the Lott family and would like very much to compare notes with you. I am descended from Nathan Lott and Dicey Watts Lott through their son Absalom Nathan Lott.
You mention that Nathan Lott (who m Dicey Watts) is the son of a Nathan I. Lott and an unknown spouse. Do you have any documentary evidence of this Nathan I. Lott? There has been considerable debate here in the Lott Circle over the parentage of our Nathan (who m Dicey Watts). Some researchers, using the Dawes Commission papers for support, are of the opinion that he is the son of Arthur Lott who married Deshulto.
Also, you assert that it would appear that Simion was "not a son of William and Mary.His birthdate shows him being born in December of 1853 and Allen Gains Lott being born in January of 1854."I received information years ago (the 1970s) from Mrs. Lutie Temple Lott that Allen Gaines Lott's birthdate was 25 January 1851, not 1854. Could the 1854 date be another case of a transcriptionist's error?
Welcome to the Lott Circle. We are all interested in improving our knowledge of these things. Please let us hear from you on these matters.

Michael, I read your message on the Joyner Genforum concerning John Lott (b c1700) who married Elizabeth Joyner. You say that he is a revolutionary soldier, but the fact is that he was a Tory who died in 1778 in British West Florida near Mobile. I invite you to join our group of 100+ on-line researchers who study the southern Lott family. You will find some of our findings on my web page. In the archived messages of the Lott Circle you can see some documentation concerning this John Lott (John1 in my charts) with evidence of his where-abouts during the revolutionary war.

I read with interest your message on the Lott Genforum. I moderate a group of 100+ researchers who study the southern Lott family and invite you to join our group. You can see some of our findings on my web page. One thing for sure to keep in mind is that the practice of using Sr. and Jr. in conjunction with the Lotts is of no use. Each generation and different area used these and they do not represent the same people and don't mean father and son.
If you will read some of the first archived message of the Lott Circle you will see that John Lott (John1 b c1700) died in British West Florida near Mobile in 1778. I don't know when or where his son John (John2 b c1720) died. That may be the John that you say died in Edgefield Co., SC. I would like to know your source for that information as I have never seen it before. Another John Lott (John3 b c1742) died in Miss Terr in 1807 which is documented on my web page. I hope you will consider joining our group and look forward to hearing from you.

Nice to hear from you. What makes you think that a John Lott who died near Mobile would be the father of the John Lott who was first in Isle of Wight County VA? Yes, there are several John Lotts and several who call themselves Jr. and Sr. John Lott, Sr. and his wife, Elizabeth and John Lott, Jr. and his wife traveled together from state frequently selling land back and forth so they are easily tracked. I look forward to visiting you web page. I have done extensive research on the Lotts in the past and joined the DAR through John Lott, Sr. At present I am working on a couple of projects on other lines and one extensive project that I need to get back to for Mobile's Tricentennial, so I may not be very active on your web page for a while. I find it is easy for me to get side-tracked onto other lines in which I have an interest and so I have to force myself to stay committed to a project until I finish it and have written it up with documentation.
At any rate, I'm sure we'll be talking again.

While I feel sure that John Lott was from Isle of Wight Co. too, I know of nothing that actually places him there. My reason for starting the Lott Circle mailing list was to throw out all the stuff we thought we knew about the Lotts and begin again with real evidence from which to draw conclusions.
I have summed up my findings on this in my paper entitled "A Review of the Colonial Southern Lott Family" on my web page as follows: http://hometown.aol.com/jbarron933/LottF/LottColonial.htm , Please read it with an open mind, but if you joined the DAR on John Lott then this may not be an easy pill to swallow. To my knowledge there was only one family (clan?) of Lotts in Georgia in 1775 and it contained 2 or 3 adult Johns. They totally disappear from the records of GA or the Carolinas until 1784 when the war ended. Their friends and neighbors in Georgia such as Arthur Moore and Jesse Wall made a similar sojourn to West Florida and back. This is where the Feb 22, 1778 land grant to John Lott "Jr" from George III was acquired, etc. Please read the paper and give me your comments.
I value your evidence and conclusions (or even opinions) concerning the family and look forward to hearing from you.

Dear John, Well, I may have a little twist for you concerning the Lightfoot name. My great-grandfarher (Saul Lightfoot) was married to a (Daisy Watts). I have no information on them other than the fact that my grandfather (Stanley Lightfoot) and his two brothers, Earl and Courtley were born in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Stanley was born in 1897, Earl-1900, and Courtley-1902. On December 21, 1902, all three boys were placed in The Methodist Home of Kentucky--Versailles, KY. My grandfather grew to adulthood at the home and married my grandmother there on June 28,1921. I have found a Daisy Watts, born in 1882 in Monroe County, AL, but have no idea if she is my great grandmother or not. I am coming up with zero on all my research. My grandparents would not talk about their years previous to their marriage so no one in the family has any idea as to where to look for information except Kentucky--and I am coming up empty handed. I do have a picture of Daisy and she definitely has Indian features as did Stanley. Any information or ideas you may have for me would be greatly appreciated. My father just passed away and this was something he always wondered about, so I have become obsessed with finding out all I can about our family! Thank you in advance! Carol (Lightfoot) Fairchild--MI P.S. My grandparents moved to Detroit. MI right after they were married.

My husband Sam's grandfather was Marbo Duncan Lott, son of Thomas Jefferson Lott. Thomas Jefferson Lott never married a Holcolm nor a Herring. He married once and only once to one of the daughters of Norvell Rowe Robertson and Sarah Ann Bullock. He and Martha Ann Robertson were married in Williamsburg, Mississippi and had nine children.
William Jessie Lott b. 1878
Manuel George Lott b. 1879
John Levi Lott b. 1881
Marbo Duncan Lott b. 1882
Hattie Lott b. 1885
James Walker Lott b. 1886
Adrium Judson Lott b. 1888
Annie Jane Lott b. 1890 (my husband was raised by her)
Sam Houston Lott b. 1891
My husband was given a bible when he was very young. Martha Ann Robertson/Lott wrote the names and dates of all the children and their birthdates. Thomas Jefferson Lott died sometime in 1912 in Ellis County (Waxahatchie, Texas). We have one photo of him.
Thomas Jefferson Lott's older brother George Levi Lott was married to Martha Ann's older sister Louisa.

Hi David Stewart,
Please see URLs: http://mcclendon.rootsweb.com/lott.html http://mcclendon.rootsweb.com/lott.html#Web - John Barron's Home page and "LOTT Circle" http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/l/o/LOTT/#lists - http://mcclendon.rootsweb.com/lott/lotts.html - how to subscribe to the LOTT-List mailing list
and especially URL: http://mcclendon.rootsweb.com/lott/ancestors1.html which has the latest information about the LOTTs that I received from Joseph N. LOTT on Oct. 3, 1999. It does not contain your Sarah Ann Lott. I'm depending on Joseph N. LOTT for my updates since he and "Dan", Daniel F. LOTT know a lot more about the LOTTs than I do. To make matter worse, there is a lot of conflicting information.
I don't have all the information he sent me in my gedcom file at WorldConnect and probably have some old information from a file that Dan LOTT sent me in 1995. My attention span "sucks" so after entering a several LOTTs generations all with similar given names, I get disorientated. < ~ grin ~ > Additionally, I'm reluctant to post all of the data I have since other have done all the work.
Did you post your data at WorldConnect for others to view with your sources? If not, doing so will definitely help unravel all these LOTTs. I will try to find time to review what LOTT data I have entered into my gedcom file.
Best Wishes,

Sarah Ann and the Jesse Lott that you wrote about were children of John Lott not Joshua Lott. This John was an early settler in Washington Co., TX, and had come to Texas from Marion Co., MS, after a sojourn in the Florida Terr.
On my web page is a set of documents from Washington Co., Miss Terr 1807-8 which lists a deed of gift from John Lott to his minor children. I have a considerable amount of info on John and his brothers Arthur and Robert A. Check my Descendant Chart of John Lott (b c1700) and you will find this group.

Hi John,
I downloaded the John Lott File. The work and documentation are impressive. I have some information handed down by a deceased BROWN relative. She gathered family information in the early 1930's, and I have copies of family Bible records. Sarah Ann Lott was said to be a daughter of Joshua Lott, but that now appears to be in error. Yes, I would like to become associated with other LOTT researchers. Do you know of others looking at this line? How do I go about this? Thank you for answering my inquiry. I would have been looking at the wrong LOTT line for many years to come, I'm sure. I am the Lampasas Co., TX GenWeb Coordinator. I live, however, in western Arizona. I'm a born and raised Fort Worthian.

James Smith b. bet. 1882 - 1883 in Coffee County, GA. He died in his teens.
Jessie Smith b. September 22, 1886 Coffee County, GA d. July 14, 1902. He died Elizabeth Mills March 23, 1902.
According to Mahala's death certificate her father was Hiram Booth. Another family researcher, has in his info that her mother was Mary Cato. I haven't been able to prove this. I did find where Hiram Booth married a Mary Cato in Telfair County, GA in 1840.
I recently received info about a family story that has been told over the years in our family about Mahala's parents. Some Cherokee Indians came through Georgia and the children became very ill with t. b. or yellow fever or something like that. The Indians left the children with the Georgia family (no name) and went on their way. The boy died but the girl, Mahala survived and grew up to marry Benjamin Harley Smith.
I have not been able to find Mahala on the census living with Hiram Booth She should have been on the 1860 census but she isn't there. By 1870 she was married, then she starts showing up on the census with her husband, Benjamin H. Smith.
I welcome any info, help or suggestions on how to find out about Mahala and her family.
How would I begin to search for her parents if they were truly Cherokee Indians?
Thanks in advance,

My gg-grandmother was an Elizabeth Lott b. 1832 d. 1873 who married David Meyer Johnston. His father was Rev. John Knox Johnston and according to Ladder Day Saints he is buried in "The Lott Cemetery" of Johnston, SC. I can attribute that the only reason he is buried there is because his daughter-in-law, Elizabeth was related to this group of Lotts. Or perhaps Ladder Day Saints information is wrong, as I have seen many errors.

Your data gathered certainly reflects many, many years of research. I do feel almost certain that we are Edgefield Lotts.
I need to do more research at the courthouses and check on some census work, then I can proceed intelligently. I had not touched this line yet, but I see that I probably have some collateral connections with Edgefield Lotts based on some of the surnames: Wright, Crouch, who were all there early.
The only other thing that I know is that my mother, who is still living, remembers a George Lott that was related to us. Said he lived in Augusta, GA or close by. She said he would be dead by now.
Well, thanks so much and I will let you know when I find some documentation.

I think that we mostly agree on the sons/grandsons of old John #1, but not on the wives. I think Elizabeth Joyner was the wife of John 1 and they think John 2. Since I haven't seen one of their charts that has included documentation and sources, I can't say how they arrive at the conclusion, but it is a difference that needs to be addressed.

There are a great deal of Bedenbaugh's in and around Edgefield County, SC. As a matter of fact, an Amanda C. Bedenbaugh married and Arthur J. Lott in Edgefield on 12-23-1869. I believe this Arthur J. Lott is a brother to my gggrandfather William E. Lott, although I can't prove that yet. I have seen the name of Bedenbaugh linked to our Lott's a great deal. Could this Amanda be one of yours?

I haven't looked in the US Census yet. I am trying to get the Social Security information of John (Jewell) Lott. It supposedly will have his parents information on it as well but could take as long as 6 months to get this information back. The story I have on John George Lott was the he came from Ireland at the age of 13 but he changed his name and kept his birth name a secret. With all the searching we have done to find any information on them, we have found nothing. I don't even know who John Lotts brothers and sisters are. It's like neither of them existed. I am not that good at searching so I have really grown frustrated on this one. I was hoping I could have some information on him before June to share at our Lott family reunion. If you can give me any clues on how to find either of them I would greatly appreciate it. I have reached a dead end for the time being until I get the SS information.

Getting back with you on my Elizabeth Lott b. 1832 of Edgefield County. After reviewing your charts, I really believe we will prove with documentation that she was the first born child of John Lott and Charlsey Cogburn. I was pretty excited when I reviewed her name: You show Elizabeth J. Well, Elizabeth J. is on my Elizabeth's tombstone. Also one of her sons was names John Lott Johnston... perhaps for her brother and father? He is buried in Elko, SC, of Barnwell County as is Elizabeth J. Lott Johnston. She also named one of her sons Matthew. And as you remember, my mother remembers vividly a cousin by the name of George Lott. I think he will be the son of George W. Lott, the brother of Elizabeth J. Lott.
Now, to top things off, George W. Lott, son of John Lott and Charlsey Cogburn, used Oregon as a middle name for one of his daughters. Well, my Elizabeth J. Lott who married Capt. David Meyer Johnston, names their daughter: Sallie Oregon Johnston.
Sallie was my great-grandmother.
John, do you think I am getting excited unnecessarily? Hope not.

On my web page you will find some information on these folks. If you will bring up the 1998 archived message of the Lott Circle and using your "find" command search for Denton, you will come across them.
There were two groups in Denton Co.: 1) from the Carroll Co., MS, families and 2) the widow and children of E.E. Lott from Smith Co., TX. Using census and tax records you should be able to find your Roy D. Lott.

Thank you for writing me about Roy D. Lott, Sr. born in Louisville, Tx. You told me I would find info on them using the "find" Denton. When I read some of the postings in regards to Denton, Smith Co, E.E. Lott, etc. I came across the family of Arthur Jenkins Lott, John Lott, Soloman J. Lott, etc. Are you telling me that these people are the ancestors of Roy D. Lott Sr.? Can you give me more information or direct me to the place "on line" that I can find this information? I read some of the postings about the Indian blood with interest. I have also been told by my family that my great great grandmother was full blood sioux indian. I have been told that Henry Hardin Lott was married to Nannie Baker. She was the daughter of "Trader" Jasper Baker and daughter of Elizabeth Bull, who was supposed to be full blood sioux indian. I do not know the parents of Henry Hardin Lott. My dad, which was Roy D. Lott Jr. was very very dark with black hair. He was as dark as some light colored blacks. The oldest sister was very dark also.They could pass for full blood Indians, but I don't know if this is just story telling, or if it is true. Do you know?
Also another interesting thing I found out when tracing my Watts line was the fact that a lot of "Watts" married "Lotts". The Watts side of our family settled in Lafayette and Tallahatchie Counties of Mississippi in the mid 1800's and most still live there, and are buried there. It would be fascinating to find that my husbands "Watts" and my "Lotts" fall into the same line.
Thank you for any information you might have.

Kathy, I think yours are from the Carroll Co., MS, group. They are related to the above but it's several generations back. Using the same find command search for Hardin and you will come to a message from Dot Bellmer <bellmer@narrows.com>. She knows more about the Denton Co. Lotts than I do and can help you. I have also routed your message to the Lott Circle and perhaps someone will contact you.
As to the Indian question, if you read any of my work you will see that I usually dismiss these things out of hand. With all due respect, I must say that yours in particular is especially spurious since the Sioux were strictly in the Dakotas and Canada. All Lott descendants have heard such claims as this and they stem from a family scandal mixed up with tales of half breed who called himself John Lott and supposedly signed the treaty of dancing rabbit.
Now the Watts family and the Lott family are certainly related. My Arthur Lott of Smith Co., TX, married Elizabeth Watts. They are my ggg-grandparents and were in Marion Co., MS, prior to coming to Texas c1841.

The town in Denton county you are trying to find is spelled Lewisville. E.E. Lott's widow, Anna Cook Lott moved there and is buried in Smith Cemetery as are some other Lotts that are kin to Dot Bellmer but we were not able to establish a connection to the Lotts from Smith county. The Denton County USGenweb page has a complete list of persons buried in Smith Cemetery, if you are interested. Perhaps Dot can add something. Two of E.E. Lott's sons moved to Tarrant County and were involved in selling land that had belonged to their father. E. E. Lott's will is missing from the files in Smith County but a copy is filed in Tarrant County. Denton County is just north of Tarrant County.

These Denton Co. Lotts are very confusing to me too. It seems that E.E.'s widow is living in a household of other Lotts. I don't have the record in front of me now, but I thought she was related to them as brother/sister or son/mother. Did she and E.E. have any children together?

David and Joe:
I believe the M.A. Lott grave referenced by Joe is Mary Lott, first wife of Col. Everett E. Lott who settled in Starrville,Smith County, Texas, just northeast of Tyler.
My records show Mary E. (mnu) Lott died in 1852, and is buried in Smith County, Texas.
This would coincide with Joe's description. The town is Winona, and it is located on SH 155 in Smith County, Texas. The town of Starrville is nearby.
My records also show that Col. Lott married Anna Cook in 1855. Col. Cook died January 17, 1864 at Starrville.
A published biography of E.E. Lott in the year 1900 carried the following information. It is available at the Tyler, Texas library.
"Colonel Everett E. Lott was born in Mississippi February 24, 1820. He came to Harrison County, Texas in 1840. E.E. Lott and Mary were married in Mississippi in 1840. He served in the Republic Of Texas Congress from 1842-45, representing Harrison, Upshur and Panola Counties.
Lott was actively engaged in the war against the Cherokee Indians of northeast Texas in which Chief Bowles was defeated and the Cherokees removed to Indian Territory. In 1845 he moved to Smith County, which had been the Cherokee homeland. Mary Lott died in 1852. In 1855 he married Anna Cook.
Lott was elected to the Second Texas Legislature after statehood. In 1861 he was commissioned a Lt. Colonel in the Confederate Army, serving with distinction in Hubbard's Regiment. Hubbard was later elected Lt. Governor for the State of Texas, and served one term as governor.
Described as a foreceful, fluent and captivating speaker, Lott was over six feet tall, and had dark, piercing eyes. He died January 17, 1864 at his home in Starrville, Smith County, Texas. He is buried in Starrville Cemetery. He was the father of five children: William M. Lott, Mary E. Lott, Arthur L. Lott, Elisha E. Lott and John A. Lott."
Information from Biography of Old Settlers, pub in 1900.
This, I believe, is more information on the grave site of M.A. Lott.

Thanks for the e-mail on Cherokee Mall information. However there was Cherokee Eastern and Western applications made by the Lott family. The Lotts from Arkansas applied Eastern Band application refused most likely because they lived outside of Oklahoma. And secondly the blood degree would have been to low from the adjoining families they mentioned. The Lotts from Mississippi descends of Nathan applied Western and was refused. However pertaining to this application is not listed in the index as many were never entered on the index. You just have to dig for them. But the main thing about this application is it is one of the most complete ones I have ever read. But the fist few seconds I read it I knew there was a problem, because it refers to the family being at Hilchete which is clearly a Creek district. Normally in a case like this they would have marked this Creek and transferred it. But there were some that just fell in the cracks for what ever reason. And there are many records that we have yet to ever get our hands on from the Government that would be of great value to Genealogy. There is no question of Lotts being enrolled as Creek and Seminole and received there allotments of land and moneys from losses in Georgia and a couple of other payments I don't remember right off hand what they were. There seems to be a large question, could these Lotts of Georgia, that ended up in Mississippi have been of Indian Blood and held positions as they did back in Telfair and the answer would easily be yes as we know most of the positions at that time was filled more by a mans character than education or otherwise. I think one of the reasons we have a problem viewing this, is what's the picture we have in our heads right now a Indian riding across the prairie in leather on horseback hunting buffalo, ok lets erase that picture because its all wrong, we're dealing with farmers who didn't depend on the buffalo didn't live in teepees and during the period of time that we are speaking of early 1800's over 200 Revolutionary Soldiers had came into the Nations of Georgia, and almost every one of these 200 names you will find in the Cherokee and Creek roles. And most of them done the right thing by their half blood sons educating them back in the Carolinas and England and at least three Cherokee Chiefs has went to England to try an understand why so many would have left the land of their ancestors, actually making them they best educated in the state of Georgia. As we know by viewing census reports and etc. most of these migrant types could not read or write there language, were as many of these Indians spoke fluent Spanish and French. But all this aside do I think that these Lotts were Traditional Indians and the answer would be no. One thing that convinces me of the legitimacy of Nathan Lotts claim is they would have been very few white people to know about the Hilchete district. Then the next question would be why would they hide this, the obvious is the Trail of Tears, again the wrong picture. The people that were removed, if you study the 16,000 all had white names by marriage, the largest of plantation owners and the largest in control of the gold and silver mines. So I hope this will help in someway.

Re: message from Diane Lafferty
< Is this our Philip Lightfoot? There are several more listed before andafter this #62.>
This, at quick glance, would appear to be Colonel Philip (1) LIGHTFOOT, son of Elizabeth PHILLIPS, (daughter of Francis PHILLIPS, 'Exchequer to the Queen,' and Olive SAWYER, daughter of George SAWYER and sister to Sir Edmund SAWYER,) and Elizabeth's husband, John (1) LIGHTFOOT, (Barrister, Oxford Univ./Gray's Inn School of Law, in London, England, and son of Reverend Richard LIGHTFOOT and Jane JONES, (daughter of Captain Rogert JONES,) of Stoke Bruerne, (pronounced Bruin,) Northamptonshire, England in the late 1500's-early 1600's.
Colonel Philip (1) LIGHTFOOT and brother Royal Navy sea Captain John (2) LIGHTFOOT, (Oxford Univ./Gray's Inn School of Law,) (who died in Suriname, West Indies,) who came to Virginia from England abt. 1670.
Colonel Philip (1) LIGHTFOOT married Alice CORBIN who was the daughter of Alice ELTONHEAD and Henry CORBIN who owned a ship and brought colonists to Virginia and Maryland as they were part of the The London Company/Companies involvement in their merchant/mariner family groups of noble and royal families, especially, moving out of England, and whose other children married into the Edmund JENNINGS/JENINGS and LEE families as well as the ARMISTEAD and LIGHTFOOT families.
Colonel Philip (1) LIGHTFOOT and Alice CORBIN's son, Philip (2) LIGHTFOOT, aka 'The Merchant Prince,' married Mary ARMISTEAD, (1st husb: the Honorable James BURWELL,) daughter of William ARMISTEAD and Anne/Anna LEE. (Who, apparently, had a half-sister also named Anne/Anna LEE who married William EUSTACE and usually credited as being the Anne/Anna LEE who married William LIGHTFOOT. This ARMISTEAD line married into the LEWIS family that my LIGHTFOOT and SLAUGHTER lines also married into as well as marrying into my WARNER, READE, EARLE, JORDAN, TABERER, WOODLEY, GODDARD, RATCLIFFE/RADCLIFF, COLEMAN, TUCKER, COPELAND, HOLBROOK, ELLZEY and other lines.
There is a possibility that Philip (3) LIGHTFOOT that married Susannah ? who was the son of the above mentioned Philip (2) and Mary ARMISTEAD might be the father of our Martha Jane Dorsey LIGHTFOOT or the father of Philip (4) LIGHTFOOT that might have been her father. There are many Philip LIGHTFOOT men in this line.
However, there is much evidence at this time pointing to the possibility that our Martha Jane Dorsey LIGHTFOOT may have, indeed, descended from the above mentioned Royal Navy sea Captain John (2) LIGHTFOOT, who died in Suriname, West Indies, who was the brother of the above mentioned Colonel Philip (1) LIGHTFOOT, and emigrated with him to Virginia abt. 1670. There are, also, many Philip LIGHTFOOT men in this lineage from Capt. John (2).
From Captain John (2) LIGHTFOOT descend Goodrich LIGHTFOOT > Sherwood LIGHTFOOT > John LIGHTFOOT from which the Philip LIGHTFOOT that is in Antigua about 1763 - 1773 prior to his relative, Henry Benskin LIGHTFOOT, being in Antigua.
There is an accounting from a Martha Jane LIGHTFOOT that is regarded in a LIGHTFOOT-COOK/KOCH-CLARK family Bible that has her short entry of her journey by ship from Antigua to Georgia being a rather harrowing one that left her with a dislike of water. She was, apparently, born either in Antigua or onboard the ship to Antigua or shortly prior to leaving Virginia for Antigua as were her 5 brothers and sisters including brother, Richard LIGHTFOOT and sister, Margaret Susannah LIGHTFOOT, who married at abt. the same time that our Martha Jane married Absalom LOTT in abt. 1781, Margaret Susannah LIGHTFOOT married Henry COOK/Heinrich KOCH, originally from Germany, who had been kidnapped by British forces in Europe and brought to America to fight for England and, at some point in America while fighting, he deserted and came over to the side of the Continental Army. One of the daughters of Margaret Susannah LIGHTFOOT and Henry COOK/Heinrich KOCH was Elizabeth COOK.
After the death of Henry COOK/Heinrich KOCH, Margaret Susannah LIGHTFOOT married Henry CLARK and they had a daughter named Martha Jane CLARK who married Curtis Grubb BEESON and they lived in Alabama where Margaret Susannah LIGHTFOOT lived with them in what was, according to my understanding, the West Mobile area, (Old Spanish Florida,)....where Absalom LOTT and John LOTT had lived.
As there are many....and I do mean many.....Philip/Phillip LIGHTFOOT men as you get into the 1700 - 1800's much is eliminated by virtue of location, corresponding names and back in the late 1600's there are a limited amount of LIGHTFOOT possibilities.
So....at this time.....nothing is proven.....and there is still room for speculation but the areas that I am concentrating on still for the Philip LIGHTFOOT that appears to be the father of our Martha Jane Dorsey LIGHTFOOT would be either the Philip (3) or (4) LIGHTFOOT that descends from Col. Phil. (1) and Alice CORBIN and Phil. (2) and Mary ARMISTEAD.............or from Col. Phil. (1)'s brother, Capt. John (2) LIGHTFOOT > Goodrich > Sherwood > John > (may be missing a generation here) and Philip in Antigua.
I have lots of LIGHTFOOT information that I have been sent over the last two years by the main various LIGHTFOOT researchers from both lines including a large amount of the LIGHTFOOT NEWSLETTERS that I am busy combing and, hopefully, something more substantive will pop up. There, also, is a plethora of Martha and Martha Jane and 'Patsy' women in these LIGHTFOOT lines ......so.......it makes it even slower going.
On the DORSEY question there are many connecting DORSEY - LIGHTFOOT and ARUNDELL/ARUNDEL - HOWARD - WORTHINGTON connections with the JONES and LIGHTFOOT and other connecting lines of LEE - JENNINGS - MERIWETHER.....so still exploring those areas but it points strongly toward the DORSEY line in Maryland that is from Colonel Edward > Nicholas > Col.? Nicholas who has daughters with corresponding names, etc.. Col Edward DORSEY had plantation and other land with names like
"MAJORS' CHOICE"....all with MAJOR in the name. I don't know if this is from the connection of his having been a Major before he was a Colonel and possibly land purchased at that time....but, of course, it could be from the name of his mother...or a grandmother having been of the surname MAJOR.
I noticed in the children of Martha Jane Dorsey LIGHTFOOT and Absalom LOTT....
the name of Johnnie/Johnny Major LOTT......does anyone know where the MAJOR in his name of Johnnie Major come from?

Mr. Barron:
I have been communicating recently with a Mr. Owen C. Girley via conventional mail. He contacted me after I had posted the information about Thomas Jefferson Lott over this Lott Circle. He does not have internet access. A friend of his found the information, copied it and sent it too him. Needless to say it was a very wonderful link. Mr. Girley is the grandson of Mary Jane Lott - the baby of the William Lott family. Have you had a chance encounter with him? He sent me 217 pages (Microsoft Word) of more complete family information. His grandmother was the last of that Lott family to have the William Lott bible. When she passed on, the bible was given to Mrs. Nellie Watts who is the current owner. He mailed me a copy of the exact contents of the bible - talk about exciting. He also has some wonderful stories about some of his grand uncles, including Uncle Sim (Simeon Wiley P. Harris Lott). According to him, his grandmother was very fond of her brothers. Although the bible does not say "son of William and Mary Lott" by Thomas Jefferson's and Simeon's birth date, they are listed as their children on a separate page. The hand writing about the births of these two children is different than the hand writing of the others.
I've asked his permission to add this information to Rootsweb and the Lott circle. When and if I get it, I will submit it to the rest. If you already know about all this, I apologize.

Beth, it says they were murdered AS Tories. Jesse Lott and James Lott or Lett were hung c1781 by colonists loyal to the American rebels. I think they are both brothers of your Mark Lott of Edgefield and sons of John1.

Jeanie, I read you message concerning Joshua Lott on the Genforum with interest. This is not my direct line, but it is one that I have collected data on and had an interest in. I never knew his wife's name and would like to know your source for her as a Woolsey.

Hi Ann H. Tucker,
Thanks for writing me. We are related. I'll be 50 in August. Catherine LOTT was my great-great-great-great-grandmother. So, are you about a generation older than me?
I share most of my e-mail about LOTTs with Joseph N. Lott and "Dan", Daniel F. Lott because they are so much more knowledgeable about the LOTTs. Something must be wrong with my brain because I can't get a handle on all the LOTTs. I'm thoroughly confused with too many LOTTs! I do have CFIDS, chronic fatigue immune dysfunction syndrome and get mentally "overloaded".
I hope I explain it well enough. I think Catherine LOTT didn't actually marry Joshua LOTT but they had 2 children:
Children of Joshua Lott and Catherine Lott are:
i. Nathan Lott, born Nov 26, 1825 in Marion Co, MS68; died Jun 13, 1898 in Marion Co, MS68; married (1) Eliza Powell Abt. 184569; married (2) Sarah Jane Burt Sep 22, 1894 in Marion Co, MS70.
ii. Rhoda Lott, born Oct 03, 1828 in Marion Co, MS71; died Oct 17, 1870 in Wiggins, MS?72; married Thomas Rayburn Abt. 1848 in Covington Co, MS73.
I have LOTTs on both sides of my family and maybe more than once on one side.
On my father's side of the family:
John Lott and Unk UNK > John Lott and Elizabeth Joyner > John Lott, Jr. and Sallie Lightfoot > Luke Lott and Cynthia Herring > Joshua Lott and Rosanna Barnes > John L. Lott and Margarette C. Pounds > Julia Ann Lott and Joseph Parker McClendon (my grandparents)
See URL: http://mcclendon.rootsweb.com/lott/ancestors1.html for more details. However, be aware that Joseph N. Lott sent me the file unsolicited and did not have all my closest relatives (mostly McCLENDONs) correct. I was thrilled to get it as it would help me a lot. (I figured that I must have been living right! Chuckle)
On my mother's side of the family:
for Joshua Lott:
John Lott and Unk UNK > John Lott and Elizabeth Joyner > John Lott, Jr. and Sallie Lightfoot > Luke Lott and Cynthia Herring > Joshua Lott and Rosanna Barnes (his other wife) >
for Catherine: Nathan Lott and Dicey Watts > Catherine Lott
Joshua Lott and Catherine Lott > Nathan Lott and Elizabeth Powell > George Washington Lott and Susan Isabell Baggett > Robert Lamar Lott, Sr. and Lucy Olive Knight > Sally Elizabeth Lott and Truman Hathorne (my grandparents)
John Lott and Unk UNK > John Lott and Elizabeth Joyner > John Lott, Jr. and Sallie Lightfoot > Luke Lott and Cynthia Herring > Joshua Lott and Rosanna Barnes > John L. Lott and Margarette C. Pounds > Julia Ann Lott and Joseph Parker McClendon (my grandparents)

John;
I have worked with a lady in central Mississippi descended from Jesse Lott. She has been trying to reference her work and she has found a small mystery:
DAR SUPPLEMENTAL APPLICATION, approved Feb. 26, 1997
Revolutionary Soldier: John Lott b.c 1742, Duplin County, NC/d. July, 1810, Tattnall Co, GA
m. Sallie___________ b.1748 Duplin Co., NC/d.Aug 4, 1818 Telfair Co., GA
Children:
Mark Lott b.22 Jan 1769, St. Georg's Parish, GA, m. Delilah Jones
Mary "Pollie" Lott b.c 1775, m. William Hatton
PROOF:
Refers to earlier National Number 463830
Bible--Mark Lott in Data Files
General Huxford's Pioneers of Wiregrass Georgia
Volume 1 (1951) p 171-172, 180
Volume 2 (1954) p 113,140
Volume 3 (1957) p 105,
Volume 4 (1960) p 345
*********************
Checking your files it seems that this is the same John Lott that was listed as being the father of John, Robert, Luke, Jesse, and Elizabeth. The Mark Lott of the above is also listed as a brother of these children of John of Washington Co., MS Terr. However, Mary is not listed in your file.
Are you aware of this confusion? Can it be explained? If the DAR accepted the data on this John Lott, then someone has confused him with the John Lott in your file because the father of Jesse and brothers died in Washington Co., MS TERR, unless he went home to die, leaving his family to probate his will in the Territory. However, for a sick man to make such an arduous trip seems to be stretching things a bit.
I look forward to hearing from you on this little mystery.

Thanks, Mel, very interesting. I assume that you are relating this generic named group of trails/roads with that which Arthur Lott was said to have been using when he was slain. However, since Lott was going from south-central Georgia to the Mobile area and not Tennessee or Kentucky, it doesn't seem to apply. The closet one that I saw was near the Clinch River near the Tenn-NC border. Am I missing something?

No, as best I can determine in the spring of 1812, the brothers Arthur and William Lott, along with their extended families, were moving from Tattnall Co., GA. It seems likely that they stopped for a short time near Mobile at the home of Jesse Lott before William and the families moved on to Marion Co., MS.
As you know, stories and legends abound about the Lott family and especially this particular event. I know there are many stories circulating.

Thanks, Bill. No, I haven't seen reference to someone going in the DAR recently on John Lott. This is very disappointing, however, since when I see something like the above "b c1742 Duplin Co., NC" I immediately discount the information because I know it's done by someone who hasn't bothered to the check the simple fact that Duplin Co. was not created until 1749.
This is the problem that I have always had with Frances Blitch's 1960 DAR application and it's lack of real documentation. I have a copy of it. Also there is clear evidence that the John Lott that she went in on (or his father) was probably a Tory and not in SC during the war as Huxford stated.
Also, there is nothing that I can find in Huxford's literature about a daughter of John named Mary. I (and most others) have her as this John's sister due to her age and that she married Wm Hatten who was himself a revolutionary soldier. Huxford and Blitch only knew about son Mark since all their information came from a newspaper article in Danielsville in the mid-50s listing his bible record.
I'll route your message to the group and see if anyone comments.

I've recently started looking into my family tree and have been reviewing the material from the Lott Circle correspondence (bet you've not heard that line before!). I'm particularly interested in Jefferson Lott (Jacob, Solomon, John, John), b 1835, m Sara Rouse. I believe he had a son Leroy b. 9/1867 Harrison County, MS. I'd appreciate any direction to sources for this line of the family and to be added to the circle's mailing list.

MS, children Virginia, Murphy, Daniel, & Ada. Murphy b. Harrison Co, MS married (Abt 1918) Edna Muriel Farrington, b. England, children Robert, Edwin, Harold, Richard, Enid.

Mr. Barron,
I found your website and spent quite a while reading the 97 and 99 posts for the Lott mailing list. I was wondering if this list is still active as I would be interested in joining, though most of the group appears interested in different groups.
My grandfather was Joseph Calvin Lott, b.1903, d.1984 in Trinity County, TX. His father was James W. Lott b. 1858 in Polk County, TX - mother Donie Williams b. 1873 d. 1958. James was the son of Calvin Lott (& Frances or Melinda) b. ~1820 in MS. Calvin was the son of Joshua Lott (& Anne/Anna) b. 1890's in SC. Screeching halt here. Joshua Lott was in Polk County, TX by the 1850 census.
I have been aware of Robert Witt's book Under The Starry Cross for several years now, but have been able to obtain a copy as yet. Mr. Witt interviewed my grandmother, Pearl Herring Lott, and copied some of her photographs during his research. (She died in 1995.) I believe he was her sister's child, but I'm not sure which since it appears two of her sisters married men named Witt, p'haps brothers. 8)
