NOTES ON THE GOTTS OF NEW ENGLAND
The name of Gott is of Old English origin, meaning a water way or water course, to be recognized in our word gutter and gut, meaning a channel of restricted limits. As early as the fourteenth century Gotts appear in the English records and later as residents in Yorkshire and in Kent. A diligent search among the parish records of Old England has failed to locate the antecedents of Charles Gott and his wife Sarah, first of the name in New England. In the publications of the British Records Society the name is frequently met with and also in the numerous English county genealogies; but no mention of any Charles Gott of whom Hubbard thus speaks: “With Mr. Endicot in the year 1628 came Mr. Gotte, Mr. Brokenbury, Mr. Davenport and others who being added to Capt. Trask’s preparations for a new colony that was coming over.”
The Captain Trask mentioned by the New England historian was Captain William Trask and it is interesting to note this early mention of two family names well known in the Mount Desert region.
As the history of any region is contained in family records I make no apology in presenting these papers relating to the Gotts of New England who spread from Salem, Massachusetts, to Connecticut and to New York; to various parts of Maine, especially Mount Desert where many of them were among the first permanent settlers.
La Petite Plaisance of Champlain is our Gott’s Island of today; a name for which the lack of euphony is more than compensated by its significance in the pioneer history of Mount Desert. - [S22] Pierce, William MacBeth, Old Hancock County Families, (Name: Hancock County Publishing; Location: Ellsworth, Maine; Date: 1933;), Gott - Mt. Desert, Swan's Island, Pages 26 - 29.
Charles Gott came to America with Gov. John Endicott,
and his company of Puritans, sailing from Weymouth,
England, in the "Abigail", June 20, 1628, and arriving
at Naumkeag (Salem, Mass.,) Sept. 6, 1628. He died
in Wenham, Mass., Jan. 15, 1668.
