| Notes |
- The following paragraphs are from Margaret Haynes' "Items of Family His tory" written 1902;
Jacob's father sent to Dublin in 1709 for his wife, nine year old son Jacob and his two small daughters Sarah and Anna. Jacob never forgot that voyage from Cork to Charles Town. It lasted five weeks, which was excellent time for those days when passengers often tossed for two, even three months on a stormy ocean and were reduced to a fare of moldy biscuits, salt beef and stale water.
In 1713 he was bound as an apprentice to Francis Le Brasseur "for the term of seven years which he faithfully served out. He then entered into partnership in a iron monger's shop with his uncle Charles Hill until the year 1725, when he married.
In 1743 Jacob Motte was appointed Public Treasurer of the Carolinas, a post he held for almost three decades.
