Son of John & Elizabeth (Warner) Gott.
Lt. Gott's father married second after 26 Sep 1718 Eleanor Tarbox(64852701), widow of Jonathan Tarbox. Jonathan died in 1718 (date unknown) and the record from Essex, Lynn Co. Mass., which has the date above, is an intention to marry John and Eleanor. It is unknown when and where John and Eleanor actually married. In 1705 Tarbox and Gott families were among the earliest settlers of what was to become Hebron, CT.
Approximately a decade after the marriage John and Eleanor, Lt. John married his stepsister, Hannah Tarbox, daughter of Eleanor (Tarbox) Gott , his father's second wife and Eleanor's first husband, Jonathan Tarbox. Marriages of children who became step-siblings as a result of their parents' remarriages were not unusual in colonial New England. The date of Lt. John's marriage to Hannah is not known, but must be prior to the birth of first child, John, born 1730.
