• Notes

  s/o Stephen GOTT (1705—1757) & Eunice EMMONS(1709–1755) m2 Hannah NORWOOD abt 6 Oct 1821 —— "Peter Gott, one of the most interesting characters of eastern Maine, took up the tract south of Moses Staples, or the point of land to Hocomock Head. This is now owned and occupied by the descendants of Isaiah L. Stanley and others. Peter is said to have been a cousin of Daniel Gott [Jr.], who owned Gott's Island, and after whom it was named . This Gott family came from Cape Ann, at which place there are still many of that name." "Peter came to this State previous to the Revolutionary War, and settled at Ship Harbor, a small inlet east of Bass Harbor, and later moved to Swan's Island, where he reared his family. He married, near the year 1776, Charity Kain, by whom he had eleven children, born between the years 1777 and 1799; I have been able to trace only nine ; the other two presumably died young. After coming here he built a house near where the widow of Isaiah L. Stanley now lives" - page 109 History of Swan's Island
