Family Story

"De Motte, a Huguenot Family" by Estella De Motte Craig:

Our De Motte ancestors were followers of John Calvin -- the brfanch which in 1560- became known as Huguenots. The Huguenots were said to be the direct offspring of the Bible. Their forefathers, the Walloons, descendants of the ancient Belgae, a Germanic people of Celtic origin who had been conquered by the Romans, living in the upper valleys fo the Alps between France and Italy. It is surmised that St. Paul, the Apostle, journeyed from Rome to Spain by way of these Alpine passes and had given them their first Christian instructions.

Here they lived unnoticed and unmolested, practicing their simple Christian faith, for twelve centuries. In 1170, Pierre Waldo, a rich merchant living in Lyons, adopted their faith and originated a relgious sect that came to be known as the Waldens or Walloons. The message of his doctrine attacted a very large following of the better class of people. He contended that the church of Rome was Anti-Christ in its teachings, and also caused excessive taxation of the poor. He taught and practiced the simple faith of Jesus, which he made very convincing by distributing his wealth among the needy. Ten years later (1180) Pierre Waldo was executed by the Archbishop of Lyons. thus began the religious persecutions in France that did not end until the Edict fo Toleration grandted October 18, 1787.

The Huguenots were not the poor uneducated people. They were the princes, noblemen, learned scholars, members fo the professisons, skilled artisans, and others who could no longer tolerate the oppression and licentiousness of the ruling kings and priests.

These religious refugees and their offspring planted the germ of freedon, reform, and prosperity throughout many nations. It is said, "They carried with them the intellectual seed that enriched the world". Our own county (USA) owes much to these religious refugees. Approximately forty-four thousand French Huguenots emigrated to America. They stamped an indelible mark of distinction in American history and distinguished themselves in both legislating and fighting for American indepdence. Most of our noted generals and statesmen can trace their ancestry to those consious exiles. Their descendants are legion. Early records fo the De Motte family are meager. After our branch of the family reached America most of the baptismal and marriage records can be found in the old records fo the Dutch Reformed Church with the spelled variouswly -- De Mote, De Mott, De Modt, De Moedt, De Moth, De Muth, Demut.

The name Motte is a place name of French origin. Motte means a hill or moujnd in French "de" means "of" or "from", "La" mean "the". de la Motte means people from the Hill or Mound. The castle was always built on a hill or higher land. de la Motte was the name of the people in the castle. The Castle Motte was located in Bretagne, as the family expanded they erected castles named after the original family seat in several parts of France and Belgium.

Two De Motte brothers, Michiel and Mathias, forced to leave their home in France, came to America by the way of Holland. Their names appear in the records of Kingston as early as 1665. They are said to have first lived for a short time in New Amsterdam before buying land from the Indians in a French settlement in the Esopus. It is not known just where this French setlement was located. Esopus was originallly a general name of a large and indefinite tract of country owned by a tribe of Indians by that name. Later Mathias and Michiel De Mott are mentioned as living at Wiltwyk - a Dutch settlement Early records of the De Mott family are meager. After our branch of the family reached America most of the baptismal and marriage records can be found in the old records of the Dutch Reformed Church with the name spelled variously - De Motte, De Mott, De Modt, De Moedt, De Moth, De Muth, Demut.

Evidently the DeMott brothers found conditions unsatisfactory in the Esopus country for in 1704 they moved to New Jersey, going first to Bergen (Jersey City) Mathias bought land & established a home there. Michiel bought a tract of land lying between the hills and Pequannack River in Morris Co NJ. known as Pompton Plains. The deed to this land is dated Oct 9, 1704. He built a stone house onto the south end of which he attached his Blacksmith shop. He lived there the remainder of his life.

The name Motte is a place name of French origin. Motte means a hill or mound, in French. de means "of" or "from". La means "the". de la Motte means people from the hill or mound. The castle was built on a hill or higher land. de la Motte was the name of the people in the castle.

from the book DeMotte and Allied Families published in 1953 by Phoebe DeMotte-Norman and Estella DeMotte-Craig

In the book; New York Histroical Manuscripts Dutch volume I Kingston Court Records 1661 -1667. Page 273 it is written that Michiel DeMot, Defendant. Plaintiff demands of defendant the doctor's fee for the received wound, being five sch. of wheat. Defendant answers that plaintiff was causa movens in regard to his wound and therefore holds that he is not obliged to pay the doctor's fee on account of his wound. the hon. court orders defendant to prove that plaintiff was causa movens in regard to his wound, and if not that defendant shall also pay half the doctor's fee (Evert Prys, Plaintiff).

Page 278: Michiel Mot, appearing, produces two witnesses in the suit between him and Evert Prys, viz., Jan Tyssen and Mattys Tyssen, who declare that Evert Prys first cut against Michiel Mot three times before Michiel Mot wounded Evert Prys. the hon. court decides whereas Michiel Mot has had judicially examined his witnesses who declare that Evert Prys was causa movens in being wounded, therefore Michiel Mot shall be relieved from paying the doctor's fee of five sch. of wheat.

Page 442: On this May 9, 1670 their honors of the court contracted with the lowest bidders to put up the fence of Roel of Swartwout becase he neglects, as per sentence, to close the same and keep it in proper condition, and whereas the neighbors suffer much damage on account hereof therefore the lowest bidders, Suvereyn Ten Houdt and Michiel De Modt, contracted to make the fence at 6 gldrs, per rod, the money to be paid when the work shall be completed in October next of this current year in grain at market price, and they shall commence to repair said fence on tomorrow with serviceable palisades, and shall perform the work to the satisfaction of the examiners of fences, and not stop until the work shall be completed. (The word used here is "maecken" which may mean repair or erect.)

Page 452: The hon. Heer Beecqman, nomine ex officio, says he and Michiel De Modt fought outside the gate and demands the fine in accordance with the laws. Michiel DeModt says that Eduward Wittekar challenged him upon the sword and came with a sword, and Michiel Modt also took a sword and went against him, and while they were engaged the hilt of his sword became detached, and three (persons) then came and separated them. Claes Claesen says that Wittekar said to the wife of Van der Coelen that he would kick her in her own house, whereupon Casper Cuyper said that he would do the same to Eduward Wittekar, and in this manner the Pole took part in the quarrel and said what is the fighting here about? and that Michiel Modt said he was an old soldier and not afraid. There upon Edwward Wittekar fetched his sword and challenged Michiel the Pole and went together before the door and began to fight. Then the button fell off the hilt, and they were immediately separated which has been affirmed under oath by Claes Claesn, Casper Meeuwesen and Cornelis Woutersen. Eduward Wittekar says he had called him a tail. Dirck Keyser says that he was standing at Jan de Backer's door, and saw Eduward Wittekar go with a sword; thereupon the aforesaid Dirck said, "Ick moedt stucken raepen," and went to Van der Coelen's house, and says not to know what had passed before that time. Then Eduard Wittekar challenged the Pole and they engaged in a duel with the sword. they were all questioned whether anyone heard that Wittekar was called a tail or anything else. Answer, No. The hon. court orders Eduard Wittekar to pay for his offence a fine of 60 gldrs. in behalf of the officer and Michiel Modt 24 gldrs.

Page 517: Michiel Modt, Defendant. Schout Grevenraedt, Plaintiff. Plaintiff demands of defendant the amount of 50 gldrs. because he drove his horses and wagon on the day of prayer. Defendant says not having known it was a day of prayer and that the Schout has even carted beer on Sunday; also says that he has been obliged to pay for what he did not owe, that he Schout seeks to ruin the place, and no worse one than he is could be found. The hon. court sentences Michiel Modt to pay a fine of 12 Gldrs.

During my research I have found Michiel DeMott to be mentioned serveral times in the early records of New York. I have not been able to find any mention of a brother Mathias DeMott. I would deduce that Michiel DeMott is the first DeMott in North America. Mathias DeMott who was thought to be this Michiel DeMotts brother, is in fact his son.

Mathias DeMott Gentleman (yeoman) son of the above mentioned Michiel moved to New Jersey late 1600s to 1704. He possessed a dwelling house, barns, orchards and meadows in Bergen and Hasimus. He also owned a Plantation in Morris county. This is according to his Will dated 30 December 1755. In this Will, Mathias left the Blacksmith tools to his son Michiel as his birth right. This Michiel DeMott made his will out in 1780. Mathias other son Hendrick born 1721 lived at the Plantation in Pompton Plains, Morris county, New Jersey. This Plantation was left to Hendrick by his father Mathias in 1755.

I have seen other family histories where Mathias DeMott was the emigrant French Huguenot ancestor from Holland, sometimes it's just him, other times the story is he and his 2 brothers. I do not agree, I think that Mathias is the son of the aforesaid Michiel DeMott who was here in America at least 19 years before Mathias was born. On the CD-Rom disk #3 from Family Tree Maker WFT it list Michiel DeMott parents as Johannes de la Motte and Maria Fache both from France. I list it here for future reference. . written by Richard J. Duprel. Lacey, Washington (1996)

The DeMotte name appears as Mot, Mott, Modt, Motte, DeMoedt, DeModt, Demoth, and Demoot in early recors. Michael's name is in a list of citizens who failed to appear to take the oath of English citizenship when it was administered en masse. The cildren of Michael DeMotte had their families in Jamaica, Queens, Long Island, NY and New Jersey.

Film Number: 45085, Page Number: 0012, Reference Number: 72448 The Family Serach (IGI) on line has Michael DeMot being born 1652 at Kingston of Esopus, Ulster, New York.

According to the Holland Society Yearbook for 1897, p.121, Michael 1 DeModt appears on the records in 1665 of Esopus (Kingston), Ulster County, NY (now Orange County) (which is located along the Hudson River). It has been reported that Michael 1 DeMott left France, to Holland, and then to America, during the Huguenot persecution in France abt. 1665. In 1667 Michael 1 DeMott purchased several hundred acres of land from the Indians in the Esopus area, (Kingston records), about this time Michael 1 married; Antie Theunise Westbroek, reported step daughter of Anthony Jansen Westbroek, and daughter of Orsseltie Dirks of the Netherlands. (Hoes Dutch church records Kingston NY).

In 1687 "Michael DeMoot", "yeoman", was a resident of Huzzie Hills (Roundout), Ulster County NY .It has been reported Michael 1 DeMott may have died sometime before Sept. 16th , 1693, as his wife testified on that date with regards to her husbands (Michael 1 DeMott) land in Ulster County. However, other information indicates that Michael 1 and his family moved to Fosters Meadow, L.I. As most of the 2 nd generation was found there at one time or another. And according to the book "DeMott and Allied Families" In 1707 Michael 1 DeMott owned a house in Pompton Plains NJ and had a blacksmith shop attached to his house, and lived the remainder of his life there" . he house is reported to still be standing today and is called "DeMott Place". At least two of Michael 1 sons were also found living in NJ. Mathies 2 , and Dirk 2 . Michael 1 died in Pompton Plains, Morris co. NJ. In 1715. (sources; Tredwell, & Duprel) George Wm. DeMott (a descendant of Mathias 2 DeMott) writes about how he found Court and Land records of Michael 1 & son Mathias 2 DeMott (at the Bakersfield Lib. Genealogy rm). Michael 1 Mot (Modt, DeMott) "a Trooper" in Kingston,... tried for dueling Jan. 17 th , 1671... Sentenced to rebuilding stockade walls May 15 th , 1671... Buying pasture for Troopers horses Sept. 27 th , 1676... And his (Michael) not showing up to sign the Oath of Allegiance to the Duke of York Sept. 1 st , 1689" probably why his sons were refused land petitions in Esopus & Shawankunk, and why Michael 1 and his sons Mathias and Dirck moved to NJ about 1702, and his other sons Johannis, Anthony, and Michael 2 moved to Fosters Meadow in Hempstead, Queens Co. Long Island, NY at about 1705. This may also explain why Michael’s 1 wife testified in 1693 regarding her husband’s property in Kingston, Ulster County as mentioned in the previous paragraph.

George Wm. DeMott also describes his oral tradition told to him by his grandfather in 1955 -- "Michael 1 DeMott fled alone from France to the Netherlands, arriving at night and finding an inn, all made a good joke on his name "De" French for "of word" (message), and "Mott" Dutch for "of moth" for his night flight like the moth".

Michael DeMott eventually became a trooper for the Dutch at Esopus and Kingston. The records of 27 Sep 1676 shows that Michael Mot and Jan Adriansen and other troopers of Kingston, praying the grant of a valley in the neighborhood of that village for the pasture of their horses, it was written in dutch which leads one to beleive that Michael DeMott could read and write in Dutch.

The records of 2 Mar 1682; Licence from the court of Kingston to Jacob Bruyn and Michael Modt to buy of the indians a parcel of land behind the Plaltz also found in Kingston Record book as is Mathias' DeMott petitions.

The name of Ante father Anthony does not appear in the list of early inhabitants of Albany, but Cornelis Tenissen Van Wesbrouck is given in the first volume of "Annals of Albany" by Joel Mansell, as a settler in Albany in 1631. As Teunis is the Dutch name for Anthony, The English translation of the above is, Cornelius Anthony of Wesbrouck. This may have been shortened to Anthony Wesbrouck. However that is conjecture.

The births of four of Ante and Michael children are recorded in the old Dutch Reformed Church of Kingston NY. A son Anthony, is mentioned in histories but no birth record has been found. He may have been born before the births of the Kingston Church were recorded. I also have seen her birth information as abt 1654 at Hellegersberg, Netherlands this source comes from the Family Tree Maker disk number 3
