The Marquis' son, John Abram, who bore the angelized name of Motte, was Dutch Consul at Dublin for a while, later chose to become a British subject. He was an adventurous person and soon sailed away to Antiqua in the West Indies, hoping to bring over his family later when he as established. Not progressing as he wished in Antiqua, he agree, in true pioneer spirit, to go on to Carolina Province in 1704 and take up settlement for a very wealthy investor by the name of John Perrie, to remain there for ten years as manager of this estate and as compensation to receive half of the annual profits.
Motte arrived on a vessel bearing the cheerful name of "Success": and secured the plantation "Youghal" in Christ Church Parish, as well as another estate of eight hundred acres near the site of Georgetown.
John Abram Motte sent to Dublin in 1709 for his wife, nine year old son Jacob and his two small daughters Sarah and Anna.
The energetic John Abram Motte wore himself out in pioneer activities and died two years after the family joined him in Charles Town.
